    Author Notes:

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

    Tina found a mahogany, sleigh bed for the bedroom and a dresser that matched. The living room was cozy with a comfortable couch and chair with an ottoman. There were storage baskets for Angelica’s toys and at night her laptop, scripts and books and DVDs covered the coffee table she bought at a yard sale, a TV, and a mini stereo were in a non descript, functional entertainment unit from Ikea. It took Tina a while to add each new piece or furniture or appliance, it lent an air of permanence to the situation that she wasn’t quite ready to accept. A bookshelf held a mix books, mysteries, grant writing and urban policy books from her time volunteering and then working at the Center for Social Justice, the entertainment industry, biographies, gardening, cooking and a few art books that Bette had given her over the years.

    She painted Angelica’s room a pale yellow and it held a crib, rocking chair, toy chest, stuffed animals, and a children’s bookshelf, dresser and changing table that were a garage sale purchase. She also tried her hand at stenciling a boarder in the bathroom and Angelica’s room. The walls were still rather empty. After living in a home with real art it didn’t feel right to go back to framed museum posters and looking at art reminded her of Bette so she put up a few framed pictures of Angelica around the house and a couple of framed movie posters. One was from the first movie she developed at Alphaville and the other was the first film she developed for Helena at Shaolin Studios.

    Neither woman dated much. Bette hated feeling so lonely but found she couldn’t really bring herself to date and move on. Every time she picked up Angelica she dreaded seeing a new piece of furniture or a freshly painted wall because it felt like each additional item was proof that Tina didn’t love her anymore. Tina and Bette had gotten into a routine and they no longer fought, in fact, they were pleasant towards one another.

    Bette always went to use the bathroom regardless of her need to pee. She looked for the tell tale signs that a man was visiting the premises and didn’t see one this made it a lot easier for her to be friendly. Tina being with a man brought out a bitterness in Bette she could not contain and she didn’t want to have that energy around Angelica.

    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
