    Everything for Free

    Bette lay on the spare bed in Angelica’s room, her head on Tina’s lap, as the blonde sat upright, using the wall to support her back. Both women intent on ignoring how daylight was creeping in from the windows. They’d spent the part of the night talking, going over the conditions of their dating, going over some things that may or may not have gone wrong in recent months. Steps Tina had taken to get to the place she was at now. Bette had taken a nap at one point, but the desire to talk to Tina in such an intimate setting had taken precedence.

    In her crib, Angelica remained sleeping.

    Tina, for her part, was unable to sleep, and had relished Bette’s presence, whether it was them sitting down or talking, or her watching both Porters sleep. Angelica had woken briefly in the night, but had not had her usual fit of ill behavior. At that point Tina had left Bette on the spare bed, and fed Angelica half a bottle of milk before the younger Porter fell back to sleep.

    This was what she’d decided she’d wanted, ever since that lunch with Henry. Ever since that elderly couple assumed Angelica was adopted, and Henry told her he wasn’t judging her, or her history. The lifestyle she once had.

    Lifestyle. Tina repeated the word in her head, and gazed down at the woman who rested with her. That afternoon, when Alice called them to tell them Dana had narrowly escaped complications in her illness. It had been that afternoon that made her realize that, yes, while she wanted Angelica to have a ‘normal’ upbringing, it wasn’t for other people to dictate that. Not strangers, not some guy she barely knew, not a social worker.

    She loved Bette, she didn’t question that. Inevitably she realized she needed some time away from being with someone, even Bette, while she figured everything out. The therapy, the independence: she needed time to think things through, to decide what she really wanted from, and for herself. And that included the Bette Porter factor. It was always there, the desire to just return to Bette, but she had to figure out the reasons for it. Except she had come to accept that with the way she’d abused and manipulated her partner, she should not expect to be forgiven, or to be treated with any respect.

    2. Duke? “Fighting the temptation to end it at the previous chapter.”? You’re a time traveller? Well of course, as an author you must do what seems true to your creation. But it’s been a most pleasant read, one I’m sure we all wish will continue.

    4. Although there were a couple of moments of slight tension, this was on the whole a cute and sweet chapter. Loved Angelica looking at Bette like she had grown a second head. LOL Also caught the good cop, bad cop reference, and we all know Bette has to play bad cop in the future. hehe ;)

    7. this chapter was perfect…love them as a family, please don’t stop…i think you should at least write until the time when they are solid and then make a smooth change to 16 years later to the other story

    8. Tiff…This was wonderful. I loved, loved the dialogue, just a tinge of sarcasm and snarkiness, just the right tone. You’re an amazing writer. It is an absolute pleasure to read your story. A palpable joy when I saw it listed. Lots more please.

    10. tiffy, i hope u dont end this.i love the way u write and while i love the tibette banter, the interaction between angelica and tina leaves me wanting for more!! thank u!

    12. In some culture, it won’t do to not finish something you’ve started in the proper way. I do hope you will continue. Thanks for yet another great chapter, tiff.

    13. this was a sweet and nice chapter it seems like they are understanding each other! and Angelica their performance is cute. please continue i think they will be together soon.

    14. Tina and Angelica.Is like watching two babies on the floor jabbing to each other then laughing and doing it again. and You wonder what are the saying to each other. Was glad the spend the night talking and not yelling and screaming at each other. thanks

    15. I know I’ve said it before, but I love the way you write scenes with baby Jeli. You must have a kid, or a lot of access to a kid? This was another warm heart-warming beautiful chapter. I don’t want it to end.

    17. I only wish that you will take us through the dating process, facing the gang, and onto being Bette and Tina again only this time better. This story warms my heart and helps me to believe in humans again.

    19. “”Thankfully a one-year-old is better than a daughter who’s fifteen, so I don’t think we’re gonna get a lot of violent reactions from her.” Tina replied.”…This reminded me of the story by Pseud. Where is she? …I’m really enjoying the vignettes with A. And talking! Who knew? Thanks.

    22. TD, Aw schs, a sweet and heartfelt addition as Bette and Tina opened their hearts and spoke in terms of emotions. Again it is your dialogue that conveys the beauty and simplicity of your writing. You reveal so much about the gals through their words. Please continue this delightful and delicious drama as I am sure that the rest of the gang will have an input into the resurrection of Bette and Tina relationship. And I can’t wait to read what their reactions are. Thank you for this fabulous fan fiction, Your Loyal Fan.

    26. Wait, wait, wait. I didn’t notice a TBC at the end of this chapter. Please, please, please continue. I adore this story and especially your writing.

    27. Favourite lines: “And even though it was bordering on being against her better judgment, she still loved Tina. And given the right reasons, would always take her back.

      Sometimes, even for no reason at all.”

      THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSS
