    Author Notes:

    Bad news comes don’t you worry

    "My God, Alice was right about the two of you!"

    "Helena!"

    "What?"

    Tina briefly considered her options, and remembered that both she and Bette were reluctant to grant their friends their opinions. Except, well, Helena was sure to tell a certain reporter. "I’m going to tell you something, but you have to swear you won’t tell another soul."

    "Would I do that," Helena said.

    Tina looked at her skeptically.

    "I promise," Helena conceded.

    "Bette and I decided to date."

    "Moving backwards, aren’t you?" Helena pointed out. "A child, nights together, then now you date…"

    "For the last time, we didn’t–" Tina glowered at Helena. "You spend too much time with Alice."

    "I’ve been told that," Helena agreed. "Repeatedly."

    "It’s true."

    "So what’s going on with you and Bette?"

    "Nothing," Tina said.

    "Your creeping blush is a brilliant counterpoint to your claim," Helena replied.

    Tina frowned at her. "I hate it when you talk Brit."

    Helena smiled at her. "I’ve been told that, too."

    Tina sighed, glancing down at her notepad. "It’s just that when I’m with her? I feel better about myself. I like who I am when I’m with her."

    "But that’s not always true, is it?" Helena questioned. "I mean, you wouldn’t be in this position if that were absolutely true."

    Tina conceded that point. "Right now we’re working on it. Making everything real, making it right."

    "Are you sure, because this could be you simply knowing she’d never say no to the mother of her child."

    Tina thought about that point, and smiled. "She’s letting me lead."

    "Meaning?"

    Tina looked at her. "I can’t be the passenger in the relationship anymore. I think Bette’s also figured out that it makes it easy for me to blame her for everything because she’s the alpha. Because she’s the one in control of the relationship."

    "But she’s not."

    Tina started, and looked at her. "What?"

    "Bette. She’s the alpha, yes, but she’s not the one steering your relationship."

    "Of course she is."

    "No, she isn’t." Helena shook her head. "Tina, listen to me: I was in a relationship with you. I may have called the shots most of the time, but you were the one who chose how we interact. You’re the one who decides how far the relationship goes. In fact, sometimes it just borders on cruel."

    "I’m cruel?" Tina echoed.

    Helena scoffed. "Deciding to see Bette when I was still enamored of you? And want to date me anyway. I don’t know who got the bigger knife in that, Bette, or myself."

    "That’s not what I meant."

    "That doesn’t matter." Helena said softly.

    "Helena–"

    "I’m just saying," Helena cut in, her own cool and composed demeanor sliding back in place, "you’re not the helpless bystander you so often pretend you are."

    "You’re mean," Tina pouted.

    Helena smiled, seeing Angelica’s future in the woman opposite her. "Maybe so."

    Tina continued to sulk.

    Helena feigned sympathy. "But it isn’t less true."

    9. Helena is quite right. Tina is always the leading one in a relationship. If she wants it to work out, it will; verse vice. That’s why I don’t like her so much sometimes when TiBette’s on rock.

    11. I agree with Helena, Bette was the alpha but when it came to Tina wanting or needing somthing Bette at most times gave in. Love this story so much, post real soon

    12. Great chapter. I’m glad that Helena was the one to point out that Tina is not the passive party, more like passively aggressive. I like the interactions between Helena and Tina as a sounding board for Tina…she certainly needs one! Thanks for the great post!

    13. I have always felt that Tina led most of the time. She let Bette, Helena, Josh and Henry all think that they were leading. Only with Bette did they share more of each other. Tina always seemed to be the sexual of the two. Not that Bette is not sexual just that Tina seemed to get the benefit of Bette more than Bette getting with Tina. Now that Helena has brought that to Tina’s attention maybe now she can work with Bette more and allow her feelings to burst foreth. She does love Bette and we all know that Bette would do anything for Tina. Tina may finally be able to be the wife that Bette wants and needs her to be. There is not doubt that Tina is a great mother now hopefully she will add a great wife to Bette (again).

    16. I love it Tiff – & Helena speaking brit is fab. Now will H keep her promise or is intrepid girl reporter Alice going to blow the lid off this mystery?

    19. nobody does dialogue like you t_d (and no, this isn’t empty flattery. i truly like it!)especially loved this bit: ‘Humdrum’ ..’Henry’.. ‘was it?’
