    Author Notes:

    Can B&T and get to the point where they are willing to try again.

    When Bette heard the words “we need to talk” she couldn’t help feeling a glimmer of hope. Those words were the relationship K.O.D. (hanging around with Shane certainly had its advantages when it came to keeping up with the current lingo.) “Tina, if you’re ending things with Henry why are you looking for an apartment?” “Bette, you said yourself our relationship was over.” “But T, I never said that’s what I wanted…” “Bette after the hurt we have caused each other, after the way I’ve treated you for months can you honestly say you still want to be with me?“ There was a long pause. Tina spoke again. “I think Angelica deserves a mother who isn’t afraid of being alone. If I want my daughter to grow up strong, confident and independent then I have to set an example.”

    “Excuse me, did you just say ‘my daughter’ Angelica is my daughter too and I don’t think I’m too shabby a role model.” “Bette, I didn’t mean it that way. Have I ever given you any indication that I was going to deny you joint custody, have I ever denied you are Angelica’s other mother?” “No.” “Look at us Bette. What happened to the woman I met who swept me off my feet and swaggered with too much confidence and pride? I can’t remember the last time I saw her and I know I’m partly to blame for that.”

    “I have been in a relationship for practically my entire adult life, I don’t know who I am anymore or what I want or what will make me happy and I think I need to be on my own and figure that out so I can be the best mother possible for our daughter. I don’t want our daughter to grow up with the fears I have or the fears you have…we can both be there for Angelica, she’ll have two parents who love her and will be there for her, we can still be good parents. I don’t think either of us is capable of fixing all that is wrong with our relationship right now. It’s time for us to stop hurting each other.”

    1. Such a bizarre concept you have here Madcapper. Protagonists able to control themselves, be civil, consider others.. But I have to say Tina’s soup tastes a lot better when taken orally.

    7. Hey, I love Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t get showtime so I end waiting till the DVD comes out or reading what happens on this site. I think that it is funny that Tina watches that show. The women are hot on that show and very strong individuals. Back to your story, I love it and am glad to see them reconnecting. It is nice to see Bette wanting to take it slow and not just jump into bed with Tina. Bette knows that they are good together in between the sheets, now they need to work outside of the bed. I know these two can make it work again and only pray that in the real show they get that chance.

    9. I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy, and I watch L Word at 11:00…That was a great spin on it. I really do hope that you choose to continue this story. I like it very much!

    21. thanks for this great chapter… you’re definitely on the right track. I don’t think you should bother about whether the characters are believable or not (they are), because IC and her team never worry about such minor stuff, they’re sooo above that… Looking forward to reading the 2nd chapter… Oh and btw, Henry has the ugliest back I’ve ever seen, it makes me wanna puke.

    22. I think Bette did the right thing not jumping into bed with Tina. She can’t do the having-something-something-with-Tina-then-having Tina-back-then-losing-Tina-again stuff again. She really needs to stand up on her feet first. We all know Tina fancies alpha women. If she really wants Tina back, she has to be alpha again. A bit ironic, huh? I’m also wondering if Bette will have any shadow even if Tina wants to be back. Yeah, we can’t help having feelings for others. But at least, Bette went to Tina again after she knowing what she really wanted. They can’t just go back when Tina is still having feelings for men.

    26. This was a very interesting take and I’m curious where you’re going with it. I’ll be reading. I’m tinkering with a post S3 story but it’s not at all like this. (That’s what fun to me about fanfic–the different takes we all have.) Oh, also…you know I miss WestHolly. Giddyup!

    27. So proud of Bette,we all know where she wanted to be,in Bed with Tina. Let them keep talking. Maybe if they talk,and become friends the gang will let her in the outer circle but not the inner one quite yet. They were will not friends when they met, They became lover and then tryed to be friend Once you are friends and them lover you can’t go back to being friend, they do have a chance to start as friends. thanks
