Bette
If you hadnt been there, I would have had to see the pictures from her.
Tina
Does she do that often?
Bette
Show me ultrasound pictures?
Tina
Gloat like that.
Bette
Does it matter?
Tina
Yes, it does.
Bette
Lets just say that we when were together, I never knew that you had such a fondness for making love in front of the fireplace and in a chaise lounge, and in the swimming pool, and in the hot tub, and before breakfast, and after breakfast, and before lunch, and after lunch, and in the evening, and all night.
Tina
Im sorry, Bette. I dont know why she thinks she has to be so competitive when it comes to you.
Bette
That isnt competition, Tina. That is the winner humiliating the loser.
Tina
Im really sorry. You dont deserve that.
Bette
Well, what I deserve isnt really much of an issue.
Tina
I know were divorced, Bette, but Im not intentionally trying to hurt you.
Bette
You dont have to, Tina. I think Helena does that well enough for the both of you.
Tina
For what its worth, Bette, Im really sorry that she has treated you so shabbily.
Bette
She certainly seems quite excited about the baby.
Tina
How do you feel about the baby, Bette?
Bette
Again, does it matter?
Tina
Yes, I want to know how you feel.
Bette
I feel like I really dont want to talk about it right now. Isnt the limo waiting for you or something?
Tina
I drove myself over.
Bette
Oh, thats right, Helena was going to send someone for your car so that you two could frolic in the pool.
Tina
I didnt go home with Helena. I drove myself to my apartment. I was too furious with her to go anywhere.
Bette
Im sorry that your plans were spoiled.
Tina
They werent my plans, Bette. They were Helenas.
Bette
It sounded like she had some plans to make your evening quite pleasurable.
Tina
I wanted to come and talk to you. Alone.
Bette
To what do I owe the privilege?
Tina
(places her hand on her stomach)
This is your child as well.
Bette
(scoffs)
No, Tina. Right now, Im not a mother figure in the childs life. Besides, didnt your attorney ask me to sign an agreement not to seek visitation privileges?
Tina
I didnt ask for that.
Bette
Well, the papers were delivered to me at the CAC. They came from your attorney.
Tina
What the *****? I swear, Bette, I never asked for that.
Bette
Well, Tina, that is what youve got.
Tina
Is that why you havent tried to contact me to ask about the baby?
Bette
Were divorced, Tina. I have no reason to contact you and I signed away any claims to the baby.
Tina
Why? Why did you give away any claims to our child?
Bette
Because it is what you wanted, it is what you requested. I felt that the documents from your attorney made it quite clear that this is not our child.
Tina
I am so sorry, Bette. I didnt want that. Whatever happened between us, I want you to know this baby and be a part of its life.
Bette
Well, that sentiment has been legally nullified.
Tina
I will find out about those papers and rip them to shreds.
Bette
Well, why dont you wait on that. Your new partner may have other wishes.
Tina
I dont give a damn about her wishes. I have always been up front with her that I consider this to be our child, yours and mine.
Bette
Did you tell her that when she found out you were pregnant weeks before I found out?
Tina
Im sorry, Bette. It was wrong of me to handle things that way.
Bette
Well, it doesnt matter now, does it?
Tina
I should go, Bette. I can tell that you are angry and you have every right to be. I do want you to know that this is our child and I will rip up those documents that I never requested. Im calling the attorney first thing in the morning.
Bette
You dont have to leave on my account. This is still your house, too.
Tina
You got the house in the settlement.
Bette
I never took your name off the deed. I have no intentions of doing so.
Tina
Why?
Bette
It seems unnecessary. (Looks up at the sky, fighting tears). Some things are just too difficult.
Tina
(standing)
I should go, Im really sorry, Bette. (exits)

Please post again soon, I really can’t wait to see where you take this!? :)
This is so good…so painful. I feel like I have been punched in the gut reading each word. Really well done. Thank you.
Helena is a small person and hopefully she will get what’s coming to her…Tina may be starting to wake up….pleeze!?
Wow, tug at the heart strings or what! Bette needs someone to hug her and look after her, i’m just the gal to do it!
This is fresh. I love the screenplay format. It reads really quickly and clearly.
Helena is pouring it on, isn’t she?
Bette seems resigned to her fate. Tina may realized she acted to hastily.
Thanks for posting another Part in the same day!
please ditto all that Seahurst said. i have just caught up on this and am enjoying it very much. you know, it’s funny in that in just 2 episodes, the writers have made me lose all sympathy for the character of Tina and it is Bette (the character of) that i feel the most sorry for (perhaps that is evident somewhat in what i have written, but this season is merely cementing those sentiments). ok- am rambling, but thanks for this perspective and know that i am really enjoying it.
WOW! Nouvelle…this is incredible…I love the format…I love the storyline…I love the whole thing…now you know you are NOT busy at work, so go ahead and post a few more…help make my Friday night entertaining. GOOD JOB> thank you for the hard work.
Wow that was so sad I can’t believe Tina is Letting Helena control her like that.
you are doing a great job with this — very tough stuff — but a great job — thanks
What a heartbreaker … I feel for Bette now. The whole misunderstanding and the feelings surround their encounters is such a tearjerker time.
Really enjoyed it.
Man! Helena’s a real bitch, huh? Seems we’ve got the 2nd season Marina. Can’t they get rid of Helena and bring back Marina? (God, I never thought i’d ever say something like that… lol). Really great chapter, bravo:) I’m really looking forward to the next one.
Really tight. It’s great to see your vision of what these characters have to say to one another. You really are doing the dialogue so well. More please.
Well, that was a hard chapter to read. I already felt bad for Bette, but now you’ve made me feel even worse for her.
Oh yeah. Great job!
Nice story you have going… I love the screen play format..I am really feeling for Bette..she really knows she did some damage ..to the relationship..so sad….At least she is talking to Tina….can’t wait for the next chapter..:)
If this is how the season is gonna go, I dont want to watch it, this heartbreaking
I’m begining to like this story….I just hope that Tina will kick helena’s ass…lol
Oh man I don’t like Helena and she is a bitch. This is heartbreaking when Helena tell Bette all about Tina and her together, that just bad man bad, I just feel hurt for Bette when she heard those words coming out of Helena mouth that just killing her man. But glad that Tina come by later and to Bette about and hope next time she and Bette will have a good talk together. Please post soon the next one soon, thank you! Great chapter!
Love it.
better the devil you know!! great story,lets hope they see the light!
by the way i like the title of your story(although i had to look up the dictioary)its perfect nouvelle.
How long will Tina put up with Helena BS. she is still protected of Bette and her feeling. Tina said the baby is her and Bette .Bette said NO. how does this make Tina really feel. Thanks so much love your writing.
This is a very good story and can I say that I am really enjoying the screen play format? It’s so different and direct. Keep it up.
