    Author Notes:

    ‘Do you remember that night in the car? After we brought Angie back from the ER? She was about five, and we’d gotten her temperature wrong and—’ ‘She was four,’ Bette interrupted. ‘And “we” didn’t get it wrong, I did.’ Tina glanced at her, seeming to be uncertain of her tone, and Bette realised she

    ‘Do you remember that night in the car? After we brought Angie back from the ER? She was about five, and we’d gotten her temperature wrong and—’

    ‘She was four,’ Bette interrupted. ‘And “we” didn’t get it wrong, I did.’

    Tina glanced at her, seeming to be uncertain of her tone, and Bette realised she was being testy. It wasn’t how she wanted to be. She took a breath and counted to five.

    ‘I remember, Tee,’ she went on with a soft smile. ‘What about it?’

    ‘You made a promise to me that night. I didn’t ask for it, but you made it, and . . . Sometimes it’s good to say things. Just say them.’

    They walked on several more steps, their feet slipping in the sand, and then Tina stopped and looked at Bette. The breeze threw her fine, golden hair across her face. She tried to catch it and keep it tucked under her right ear. Bette’s tummy fluttered. So beautiful.

    ‘I have forgiven you for Candace,’ she said. ‘I won’t bring it up again.’

    Bette stared at her, then looked away, then back. Her throat ached with unshed tears. Not once . . . not ever . . . had Tina said this explicitly.

    ‘Okay,’ she nodded. Then she exhaled long and slow. How long have I held that breath, she wondered. Tina was looking at her, then turned and started walking again. Bette watched her till she was about ten yards away, then trotted to keep up.

    They walked on. Presently, Tina spoke again.

    ‘Angie’s pregnant. I know we’re going through the motions, but I’m sure she is.’

    She looked at Bette. Bette shook her head. ‘It’s a fucking disaster.’

    ‘It’s our job to help her through it.’

    Bette said nothing. Up ahead, about twenty yards away, the beach narrowed and there were scatterings of boulders big enough to sit on. Tina gathered up her skirt and sat down. Bette did the same. Took off her hat and held it as she looked out at the waves crashing and scrambling up the sand, before falling back again like they were apologising for their own ferocity.

    ‘Were you serious about moving back?’ Tina asked. ‘Yesterday?’

    Bette clenched her jaw. ‘If she’s pregnant, and if she decides to have the baby, then yes. Of course I would move back.’

    1. Awwww… Blockbuster chapter, Largo! B.R.A.V.A. It took an eternity for Bette and Tina to find what they were looking for and to find the right balance of courage, acceptance, surrender and open- heartedness to give in to that lovely kiss again. Wow, what a journey, what a lovely family and what a love story! Thank you so much for this feel-good, sunshiny chapter and this lovely story, Largo!❤

      • Hi mightymouse! *waves* Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I’m really delighted you enjoyed this chapter. Good things come to those who wait, right?? I got all gooey writing about that wee baby! Nice.

        Thank you gain for your support. It truly means a lot to me. Have a great week.

      • Hi Angel 1981! *waves* Thank you so much for reading my story and leaving a comment. :-)

        I wanted to write something in which B&T ‘fix’ themselves before they reunite. We’ll probably not get to see that on the show, but I think that’s one of the things fanfic can do, is let us explore things we don’t get to see. I liked using my imagination to try and work out how they might change.

        Your support is much appreciated. I’ll try and get the last chapter up at the weekend.

        Have a great day
        Largo

    3. OMG!!! You made me cry – that was so moving & it hit squarely in the middle of my chest – direct hit to my Tibette heart!!

      We’ve chatted at length about this story & gone up & down for the reasons why, but in the end – all that really mattered is family – their family. which is a little bigger now with a son in law, a brand spanning new baby boy & two other grandparents that could just be the right fit too.

      This chapter was well done as per your usual brilliance. As mightymouse stated – BRAVA!!!

      Bette & Tina path has been clouded, stressful, unclear & certainly long, but finally, FINALLY, they have made it back home to one another.

      I know you mentioned that you might also grace us once again with a possible continuation of The Real Tibette Watching GQ – but I sure wish you coulda, shoulda been on the writing team for GQ3 – hell all of GQ in its entirety!!!

      Thanks for all your effort in creating this nugget of perfection.

      As always, a simple thing in life – having the love of your life in your life is all that matters.

      Hears to Bette & Tina & forever!!!

      P.S. – five stars pal!!!

      • Hello Collins, my friend! *waves*

        Thank you for sticking with this story and for commenting so positively – that means a great deal to me. :-) Glad I made you cry, too, lol. I do think the end of this chapter might be the very sweetest thing I’ve ever written for B&T. I just LOVED this idea of them reintroducing themselves. When it popped into my head I just felt the emotion in it and knew it would work.

        I still have one more chapter to write. Might see if I can get that done today, in fact. Quite a dreich day here in Edinburgh (what else is knew, haha)

        Thanks for the 5 stars! That’s funny, in light of our convo. :-)

        Thanks for all your support and friendship – I promise I will catch up with DOH one of these days. Keep writing!
