    Chapter 2 – THE PLAN

    “Be honest with her. You’ve made time for her.” Tina stated. “That was the right thing to do. She’s told me she cherishes the time you spend with her. I’m so glad you made space for her.”

    “Tina,” Bette responded with conviction in her voice as she looked at her, “she’s my daughter too. I’ve always made room and time for her. I became her primary caregiver when we first moved to New York City and you were involved with expanding your career.  I loved that time with her. I will always treasure those memories. It was great working remotely at home for the gallery and with Kelly for a few years. Angie advanced in school and then I went back to work fulltime when Kelly and I opened the New York Gallery East location.”

    “Going back to work full time with the second gallery was a huge commitment on your part.” Tina reminded her ex-wife with a firm look on her face. “It took up a lot of your time. You became engrossed with the business again. Eventually, you spent less time with us. My career was booming and we saw less and less of each other. We drifted apart.”

    “That doesn’t mean I didn’t love you.” Bette said honestly as she walked past Tina to place her pwn tea mug in the sink as well.

    “It doesn’t mean I didn’t love you either.” Tina explained as she turned to look at Bette. “But making space for others has always been a challenge for you. It doesn’t come naturally for you. Sometimes you just can’t see other people’s needs. Remember what I said all those years ago on the patio in our old house? Your ideas, your goals can be all consuming. The world according to Bette. On your timetable, in your own way.”

    “I don’t think that’s fair Tina.” Bette defended herself, turned and directly faced Tina. ”You and Angie have always come first for me. Will always come first. I’ve been driven all my life. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been able to identify what I wanted and have been willing to pursue it. I don’t think I should apologize for that.”

    “I never asked you to apologize.” Tina said curtly; hand on her hip challenging Bette. ”But again over time, you put your career first, your feelings first.”

    1. Great – Tina in charge! I like alpha Tina!

      But i see a huge problem in Bette’s campaign – i see all forgot that in LA lives not only members of LGBT community. I really don’t understand what Bette can suggest for majority of voters – white middle class straight people. Or latina – where agenda about immigration for them for example? Shelters, fight for LGBT – it’s not their agenda. What gay candidate can suggest for them? She wants be mayor of LA? – traffic problems, immigration problems, not enough cops in the street – this is common problems for big cities.

      • Hello Zhenya,

        Thanks for the insight & comments.

        My intention was not to remake the storyline of Bette running for mayor. As we have read, that storyline was Jennifer’s response to the election of 2016 & the unfavorable policies & views of the USA’s current administration.

        The references to Bette’s campaign focus is setting up 2 events that will happenin later chapters.

        Yes, the Tina in my story has a much stronger role & a bigger voice than in the OG series. She is an equal partner to Bette.

        Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters!!!!

      • Hi Angel,

        Thanks so much for your comment.

        Hope you get some R&R soon!!

        Carrier – thought that storyline was just so ridiculous. They really thought we would buy that Tina divorced Bette – claiming she needed space & to find herself & then get into another quick relationship???? Poor writing on the part of the Gen Q writers.

        So, I will do my best to bring us a very different view.

        Be safe!!!!

        Thanks

    2. A fantastic story! And Tina is a great help for Bette, Dani better listen and learn from her.

      They briefly touched why they are divorced and how they feel.

      And Tina’s full name Tina Porter Kennard, is that a hint?

      I really love your story!

      Thank you and i hope you are able to update soon!

      Stay save and healthy ????

      • Hi Bibi,

        Thanks so much for the your interest in this story.

        Yes, I felt Tina needed a bigger voice & what better way than to help Bette.

        Yes, there is some foreshadowing going on!!!! Remember, this is a Tibette story!!!

        More to come in later chapters about their lives in NYC & the many reasons for their divorce. Like in all their past breakups & reconnecting, it takes 2 for it to happen.

        Hoping to update weekly if not sooner.

        Thanks again, enjoy & keep safe!!!

    3. Catching up !

      I love this Tina! If only she had been written like this ion GenQ! I would have loved to see Laurel act this, brill

      Looking forward to more

      • Thanks so much.

        I have always considered Tina(LH) to be a much stronger character than IC portrayed in OG & now in Gen Q.

        She would have to be to be in a long term relationship with a strong willed person such as Bette.

        Enjoy more to come

        • I so agree about Tina’s character. As written for the Shows she would never had been noticed by Bette.

          You will realise I am now caught up so will be pressing for new posts on a regular basis :-)

          • Hey SG,

            Heard about more postings!!!!

            Thanks for your support.

            Best regards.

    4. Really liked your description of Kit. I’d forgotten how explicitly feminist she was about business. That’s something I will make a note of for my own stories going forward. ;-)

      Your Tina / Dani dynamic has me intrigued, too. And yes, Carrie gave us all a headache! Nice job to just dispose of her, haha

      Am enjoying and looking forward to more x

      • Hey Largo,

        Sorry I missed this comment you left.

        If only the sins of GQ were that easy to dispensing of Carrie – she doesn’t exist!!!!!!!!!

        I have always been a fan of Pam Grier way back to the 1970’s when she was mean Jackie Brown!!!!

        She’ll only be able to live on in this story through flashbacks unfortunately. She does pop up a few more times I this story – so enjoy.

        Didn’t want Dani to be a potential love interest to Bette so I had to find a way to smooth her rough edges & she can learn a lot from Tibette. They are both great at mentoring others.

        Take care & see you on the pages!!!

        Collins
