    Author Notes: I am publishing this story in honor the world of fan fiction writing and to celebrate the completion of my seventy-fourth year on this earth. I would like for all those who are readers and enjoy fan fiction to try your hand at writing a story. You will find that it is not as easy as one would imagine. However, it can be one of the most self-gratifying experiences one can have by being creative and producing something that perhaps other may enjoy. My thanks to all those who read and those who comment. Let me know what your think as this my last story about Bette and Tina.
    Summary:
    Preface. Basis for the story. Chapter 1 - Tina and Carrie visit Los Angeles to tell Angie about their engagement.

    Bette decided to move to Los Angeles after Tina started her job in Toronto.  She received an offer to be the Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for the City of Los Angeles.  She informed Tina, sold their apartment in Manhattan, and purchased a home in the Silver Lakes area of Los Angeles. Bette received Tina’s request for divorce just before she moved to Los Angeles and the news that Tina had met someone – Carrie. In Bette’s eyes, Tina had simply left the marriage and gone on her way.  No discussion and no opportunity for reconciliation.  And Bette still loved Tina with all of her heart and desired to be married to this woman who is the love of her life. In the same year she lost her lover, partner and spouse of twenty years and her only sister Kit died as result of a drug overdose.

    When Kit died, Bette had thought Tina would show up to support her and Angie through the services.  But Tina didn’t show.  There were flowers and a short note of sympathy.  She talked to Angie by phone but not to Bette.  Bette was hurt by this. This was another not-so-subtle message that her more than 20-year relationship to Tina was over.

    For months after the death of Kit, Bette was depressed.  Had she not had the responsibilities of the care for Angie, it may have lasted longer than it did to get back on an even keel. As customary for Bette, her method to soothe her pain was to engage in alcohol and sex.  It was during this time she found comfort in Felicity Adams, a married staff member of Cultural Affairs Department. She had promised herself that she would never have alcohol except wine with dinner and only when they had company in their home.  And she would never bring dates home when Angie was there and had promised herself that unless the relationship looked like something that might be permanent, she would not introduce them to Angie. She would make arrangements to spend a night in a hotel rather than have Angie exposed to women she dated. Since moving to Los Angeles as a single mom, she seldom had dates.  She simply had very little desire to socialize with new people and put herself out on the market again. When thoughts of sex came to Bette’s mind, Tina was the one she desired.

    1. Hey Martha,

      Good to see you back.

      I’m in for the journey you will take us..

      So far if I’m honest i find Tina selfish, now i know they always have had trouble to communicate but to just leave, file for divorce without even giving Bette an explanation or a chance to work on their marriage, not showing up when Kit died, only a little note, very very harsh.

      What did Tina and Carrie expect, that Angie would be happy? She doesn’t have Tina much in her life and now with the marriage announcement i would react the same way and big applaus for Bette pointing out what she thinks is the reason why Angie reacted that way. Are Tina and Carrie that blind and selfish?

      Look forward to the next chapter, i can’t promise to always comment but will try to read it when you update. Promise me there will be a happy Tibette ending, if not I’ll not read it, I’m a diehard Tibette fan and with the spare time i have i can’t invest that in a well written story that doesn’t end with Tibette together.

      • Bibi28,

        Thanks for your comment. I will deliver on your wish.

        Angie’s response to Tina and Carrie’s announcement in Gen Q was always a mystery. When Tina is living in Toronto, when did Tina see Angie? And in the early teens when children are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, these are the years of big change. And with a part time relationship with one of your parents, that relationship will change. No relationship is going to maintain its closeness with telephone conversations and occasional visits. Anyone whose parents were divorce during their childhood years know this intuitively. Yet, Gen Q assumed the opposite.

        Thanks for reading.

    2. Welcome back, Martha! Very happy to see your story posted. I recently reread your epic Ten Years story. Thank you keeping the site viable during this traumatic time. A little escape has been needed.

      Now to your current post. Tina has got to be the most selfish person in the universe. She surely can’t think that bringing another so called parent into Angie”s life is `a good thing. contrary to her feelings that Bette was taking much so much space, It
      looks like she gave Tina more rope than she deserved. Its was unforgivable for her to avoid Kit’s funeral. So selfish for her to just walk knowing the importance of Kit in Angie’s and Be1te life. Then to blow back in town like nothing happened is crass. even Carrie sees that no good end is going to come with her decisions.

      Thank you gain for posting. Happy Birthday Too.

      I didn’t intend for Tina to appear selfish, but obviously that is how you and Bibi28 see her. So, I may have screwed that up a little. It was my intention to show that Tina has so little involvement in Angie’s life that she simply had no clue as to how Angie would respond. She simply does not know her child as she believes she does. Tina and Angie get along well when they are together, and they do truly love each other. Tina just fails to realize that as time goes on and with limited contact, people change. People develop different interest and have experiences which causes people to change their perspective and approach to life. If Angie had a fairy god mother, the one thing she would wish for is that her parents were still married and lived with her in the same house. She wants them together. But that is not what the reality is for her.

      I also wanted to show that this response was somewhat of a surprise to Bette as well. But once she saw it, she knew the reason for the response.

      Thank you for the comment. I hope you stay with this story. I am posting the first few chapters as they are short.

      And thank you for your comment on my Ten Years After series. Since there are so few comments and there is no counter as to views, it is difficult to know if anyone is reading it or not. But that is life… and so we go on.

      Thank you again.

    6. Tina must be out of her mind to actually think that Angie would be happy that she is marrying Carrie, it boggles my mind how she can just walk away and don’t consider her wife and kid.

    7. Thank you for your comment. I hope you will read my other comments and continue to read this story. Tina will explain as best she can what happened to make her behave the way she did. Let me know what you think.

      Thanks for reading.
