Can we get it back – Chapter 21
“Can we talk about tomorrow?” Tina carefully asks.
“What about tomorrow?” Bette asks as she sit down and pulls both her legs with her onto the sofa.
“You’re starting radiation. What are you feeling? I want to know how you’re doing with everything. It’s been too much focus on me lately and I’m sorry about that.” Tina says honestly and takes a seat next to Bette on the couch, turning so she’s facing her.
“I guess I feel scared. But it’s been good for me to focus on you. Then I didn’t have to think about the reality of my situation.” Bette says.
“I can see that. But I’ve taken up a lot of space these last few days. I will do better.” Tina replies.
“You never take up too much space Tee.” Bette says, looking right into Tina’s eyes. Tina sees the honesty and love coming through and it becomes overwhelming. And she feels guilty, because space is what she always claimed to have too little of around Bette. Her eyes get teary and Bette reaches for Tina’s hand. “Hey, Tee, what’s wrong?” Bette asks concerned.
“Nothing, I just… guilt, I guess… I blamed you for taking up too much space and I… thinking back… I did not do anything about it. I just let those feelings carry on. I keep thinking if I just spoke up, would things have been different?” She says and looks into Bette’s eyes.
“I can’t answer that for you Tee.” Bette replies and give Tina’s hand a soft squeeze.
“No, I guess not.” Tina gives a little smile, wiping her tears away. “So, tomorrow. I’ll come with you off course. The radiation won’t take much time, what did the doctor say, 10-20 minutes?” Tina says.
“Yeah, between 10 and 20 minutes. The treatment itself, I’m not worried about. That won’t hurt. But it is the side effects after, that I am more worried about. And losing my hair. Not looking forward to that. My hair, is so much a part of who I am.” Bette says and sadly looks down into her lap.
“Your hair will grow back out. And to me, you are beautiful no matter what.” Tina says and scoots a little closer to Bette and takes both her hands in hers. Their eyes meet and Tina leans in for a kiss.

Nice chapter….nice to see Bette and Tina getting closer. Obvious that Bette is still scarred that Tina will leave again. Very tense time in that Bette will start her treatments today. Hopefully they will not be as bad as they are planning on and yet they will successfully treat her condition and put her into remission.
Tina seems to be adjusting to life with Bette under these conditions and Angie is giving her moms plenty of space. Hope things work out…
Thanks for this chapter…..
Thank you for this chapter!
“I know my track record on the subject is far from perfect, but I promise you that I will not leave this time.” – Yeah Tina, but i think Bette also has some track record on her own – cheating. So stop beat yourself.
Waiting for the next – how radiation treatment will go
Great chapter! It is good that they still talk about what is important or what for fears they have, Bette. I hope the radiaton treatment will not give that much side effects. It will be a hard and long road but if she will recover it all is worth. Angie is a good kid and is happy they are going to reconcile and give them space. Thank you for the update!
Bette and Tina are coming together, slowly but surely. This was a nice chapter, perfect for a lazy saturday morning in the middle of a crazy world. Thanks!
Thanks for this post it was like an Oasis in a troubled world.
Looking forward to B&T getting closer as Bette gets through her treatment.
Stay safe
