Tina paused, glancing at their daughter, then around their immediate area. She turned back to Bette. "I’m sorry."
"For?"
"Pick one." Tina admitted. "Putting you on the spot earlier? Bailing on you. Dating a guy while living under your roof. Seriously, B: pick one."
"You want to do this here?" Bette asked sternly.
"No." Tina admitted, leaning back in her seat. "But I am sorry about putting you on the spot earlier."
"The questions?"
"Yes," Tina nodded. "I just… Sometimes I come out of my appointment feeling horrible about how I treat you, and this afternoon, you were there, and I just…"
"Wanted to relive it?" Bette asked, her smile assuring Tina it was fine.
"I wanted to even the field a little," Tina admitted. She smiled weakly at Bette. "I’m sorry."
"Doesn’t make it less true." Bette pointed out.
"But I still shouldn’t have done it."
"Tell you what," Bette said, leaning across the table to take Tina’s hand. "Next time we say anything hurtful to each other, we exchange a dollar."
Tina glanced down at their hands, then back at Bette’s earnest expression. "I make more than you do."
"I have more saved up." Bette reminded.
Tina laughed. "Fair enough."
"What’s this? Is West Hollywood’s golden couple back together?"
Instantly, both Bette and Tina withdrew their hands, and glanced at their intruding party.
"Gabby," Bette greeted unenthusiastically. "Why haven’t you been banned from here?"
Gabby ignored her, and turned to Tina and Angelica. "This her?"
"That’s her," Tina replied.
Bette glanced around, trying to see if either Alice or Lara were around. Seeing neither, she returned her attention to where Gabby Deveaux was talking to Tina.
"She’s so cute, Tina. Can I hold her?"
A world of no. Bette thought, which seemed to be mirrored by Tina’s expression.
"Yeah…" Tina shook her head. "She’s eating, and if you disturb her from that she doesn’t really finish her meals."
Gabby shrugged. "Her loss."
"Right." Bette said evenly.
Gabby glanced around. "I heard Lara’s back working here. Is that true?"

Tiff…I can read your stories all day long…they are that good. I wish they were in book form. Keep’em rolling.
i’m so happy that your chapters are longer now.
i can’t wait till you get them together already… they belong together… love this story
One of these days Tina’s going to plant one on Bette. One of these days I won’t have an exam the next day (that’ll be in about 7-8 months). Now that I’ve had my fix, back to the books.
This just keep getting better and better,Lets get those two together. Thanks
my routine..by readin your post every mornin. thx. this is sooooooooooo good!
A TiBette heart is not a curse. Okay it is but dammit we’re better off for it.
TiBette separated forever? A world of no.Thank you for another excellent chapter.
i was having quite a bad morning and the moment i saw your post, a smile instantly took over my face. thanks tiff, for another great chapter :)
Oh, Angie baby, so adorable. So how sad it is that Bette missed her first step. =(
Thank you for continuing this story!
I´m speachless. *clapping my hands*

Good chapter. Keep them talking and let them get back together again soon, Angie is so cute. Ok post soon please, thanks!
This continues to get better and better. Thank you for your time and devotion to this story!
tks, are you spoiling us with it’s added length…ok, well just a couple of lines longer…but see we appreciate it so much…tks
I will not curse your Tibette heart! If I did then I would curse my own heart, only you can place your heart into a tender loving story. All mine can do is read these stories and day dream. Let your heart continue to bring these happy stories to us.
this chapter was so good! i almost fall down when i readed about the Kiss until i read the next line and it never happened! but i hope soon they kiss lovely!
Thank you once again, Tiff. We need this story. Think you can drag it out for many months? post soon
How cute is Angelica. I love this story. It’s quite therapeutic.
I know it’s driving some people insane how Bette and Tina get so close yet don’t act on their feelings, but I think it’s cute. Right now they are like 2 teenagers in that awkward stage before becoming exclusive. Except these 2 are adults who have to work things out before jumping in the sack or their actions will be cheapened.
Just love your story, each chapter is a delight to read, thanks for continuing with this story.
I just died laughing at the “a world of no” thought Bette had about Gabby holding baby Jeli. Loved your post. I’m going to check back a few more pages. I think I missed a post. You are becoming quite prolific.
From a certain phone message of ¡§I want¡¨ to the ¡§didn¡¦t want¡¨, Bette has certainly changed/grown/matured. ¡§She didn’t want it, but it wasn’t a surprise how happy she felt doing what she did not want to want.¡¨ I believe Buddhism teaches letting go of one¡¦s needs in order to gain spiritually. Perhaps this is the way for Bette to have a family again!! Knowing that this will lead to ¡§Pick A Part¡¨ soothe any fears, doubts, insecurities and tip-toeing with these ladies worthwhile. Thank you for the update, tiff.
TD,Such a breath of fresh air as Bette and Tina slip into the easy conversation of friends. Things are slowly moving forward as they each realize and appreciate what they had and how they lost it. Being civil with each other is a great step and more so knowing that they both want more but only are too scared to tempt fate further at the moment. You have such a wonderful way with words. My heart follows accordingly, ups and down. Thank you for sharing this awesoem gift with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Just keeps getting better. Please Post Soon
