“Have you fucked him yet?”
“Have I fucked who?”
“Whoever it is that you have these feelings for?”
“No. I haven’t slept with anyone.”
“So this isn’t just about an amorphous male figure comprised of cyber pollen is it?”
“That was just a onetime thing in a chat room. I thought it was just curiosity. I thought it would go away.”
“But it didn’t go away”
“No it didn’t.”
“So Daddyof2 was just a transitional object?”
“Yeah. I guess.”
“So is there a real man in the real world somewhere…?
“No… I don’t know.”
“Tina please…”
Tina feels cornered by Bette’s interrogative techniques. Bette isn’t yelling or screaming; she’s calm and candid and this makes Tina very unnerved. In her heart she knows she has to be honest but in her mind she thinks softening the truth would spare Bette further hurt. She decides on honesty knowing she owed Bette that much after everything she’d put her through these past months.
“OK yeah. I think so.”
“Who is it?”
“His name is Josh.”
Bette recalls her conversation with Kit about Josh Becker.
“He’s the producer right?”
Tina hesitates to answer and Bette persists
“Right?”
“Nothing’s happened. I… m, for all I know he’s not even interested in me.”
“Oh Tina please of course he’s interested in you. I’ve heard you talking to him on the phone. You can’t flirt with someone like that unless they are flirting back with you.”
Tina starts crying and Bette automatically moves over and brings her into a hug. No matter what Bette always feels protective of Tina. Tina finds comfort in the embrace as they just hold each other, but then it becomes awkward. It’s late and they are both tired. They agree to table the discussion until morning. As they settled down to sleep they moved to the farthest ends of the king sized bed; each with her own thoughts and enough space between them to metaphorically represent the current state of their relationship.
****
The next morning Bette wakes first and finds that during the night she’d closed the gap between them and had her arm thrown over Tina’s waist. It seemed so natural to wake up this way until she recalled their conversation from the previous evening and jerked her arm away, which startled Tina awake. She immediately created some distance and apologized.

Very nice Bat, I have to be careful with what I comment, poor Tina, she is more lost than ant walking on a highway, and poor Bette, she only feels her own pain and not her partner’s. When I watched this scene in season three, I asked myself how people that love each other as they did in that moment, could reach that breaking point, how could someone be so blind and self-absorbed; but in the way you wrote it here, I can, in certain way, understand. I still love how you take them down, they are about to sink totally, although I read many of your stories, I haven’t find this, but I love it. I’ll be waiting, impatiently, for your update this evening Thank you for this chapter, pps
How I love your writing Bat even when my heart is crying at the content, please post soon
Very sad chapter indeed, but I appreciate your take on Bette putting her foot down and leaving the ball in Tina’s court. Of course it’s dangerous especially as even Tina isn’t able or willing (I am not sure yet) to explain her sudden interest in men. But anything is better than what we saw from S3 on – just my humble opinion – I personally hated how they completely turned Bette from this strong confident woman into someone letting others push her around up to the extent of tolerating Tina’s strange behavior. Again, thank you very much bringing this story back and looking forward to your next post.
Ouch!! Thanks for your story.
