    Author Notes:

    ‘Tee,’ Bette said softly. Then she smiled her biggest smile, dropped the handle of her case and opened her arms to Tina in welcome. ‘Hi! Hello!’ Tina said, laughing and hugging Bette tight around her neck. ‘Hi!’ ‘It’s so good to see you!’ ‘It’s good to see you!’ They held on tight for a moment,

    ‘Tee,’ Bette said softly. Then she smiled her biggest smile, dropped the handle of her case and opened her arms to Tina in welcome.

    ‘Hi! Hello!’ Tina said, laughing and hugging Bette tight around her neck.

    ‘Hi!’

    ‘It’s so good to see you!’

    ‘It’s good to see you!’

    They held on tight for a moment, then pulled back to look at each other. Bette was aware of her spectacles misting, so she pushed them up on her head. Tina was beaming at her. Beaming. There was no other word for it. She was radiant. Easily ten years younger, both visually and in spirit. She had a glowing tan, sun-bleached hair. Her cheeks were rosy, her chin dimples so cute that Bette had to fight the urge to pinch them.

    ‘Happy birthday,’ Tina said, softly, with great affection, as she squeezed Bette’s shoulders.

    ‘Thank you,’ Bette replied, looking deep into Tina’s eyes.

    ‘Sixty,’ Tina whispered. Bette raised her eyebrows, not sure what to say about that. ‘It looks good on you,’ Tina added, gazing at her as if she was looking at a wonder of nature. And then she suddenly sprang into action.

    ‘Let’s go! Angie can’t wait to see you!’

    ***

    The drive to the The Ranch took less than an hour. Rolling Hills was about twenty miles south of LAX and their route actually passed pretty close by Redondo, site of Alice’s wedding shower. When she realised this, Bette recalled with a rueful laugh how freaked out they’d been, and trying to hide it . . . Tina remembered how calm Angie had been, by contrast, and how they’d kept waiting for her to implode, but she never did . . .

    ‘She’s been amazing,’ Bette said.

    ‘They both have,’ Tina replied.

    There was no edge to her tone, but Bette felt remorse for the way she’d disparaged and discounted Mitch at the beginning. She’d told Angie it was because his first introduction to her was as a man incapable of using birth control effectively, but the truth was that Bette was slightly, just a little, heterophobic – and that had needed to change, fast.

    ‘Remember Lenore?’ Tina said now. ‘Those Edith Piaf songs?’ She laughed. ‘I thought Alice was literally gonna strangle her with the mic lead!’

    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!
