    Author Notes:

    Bette laughed too. ‘How long before she lets her move in?’ ‘What, with her and Ellie?’ ‘Yeah.’ Tina gave a sceptical snort. ‘That will never happen!’ ‘Oh, really?’ ‘Yeah, really . . . C’mon!’ ‘You might be surprised. Alice has issues with Lenore. She caves to her all the time and she’s gonna need a

    Bette laughed too. ‘How long before she lets her move in?’

    ‘What, with her and Ellie?’

    ‘Yeah.’

    Tina gave a sceptical snort. ‘That will never happen!’

    ‘Oh, really?’

    ‘Yeah, really . . . C’mon!’

    ‘You might be surprised. Alice has issues with Lenore. She caves to her all the time and she’s gonna need a place one of these days.’

    ‘Care to make it interesting?’

    ‘Usual terms?’

    ‘Uh huh.’

    That meant a twenty-buck bet. Tina raised her right fist, Bette bumped it, they both laughed and Bette went back to just looking out at the bright, bright day. The radio was tuned to a soft rock station. Another memory surfaced.

    ‘What was that song you sang? At the shower?’

    Tina thought for a moment, her eyes narrowed a little. Then: ‘Oh, I know. It was Carly Simon. God, it’s gorgeous . . .’

    ‘It was when you sang it,’ Bette said.

    Tina shot her a chastising look, like she knew when smoke was being blown.

    ‘Can we hear it?’ Bette went on, ignoring the rebuke. She examined the large digital display in Tina’s car, to see if she could spot the music controller, but Tina took mercy and summoned it up by voice control. And few minutes later, as the song was ending, she sang along . . .

    I know nothing stays the same

    But if you’re willing to play the game

    It will be coming around again

    I do believe 

    I do believe

    I believe in love

    I believe in love

    Bette watched Tina out of the corner of her eye. Watched the way her fingers tapped lightly on the wheel, the way she’d always done when driving, the way she’d done it the very first time Bette ever rode in a car with her, with this person, this woman, this indelible, unique human whose path had crossed hers twenty-eight years ago and never left.

    ***

    Bette’s welcome was lovely. Angie and Mitch had strung up a banner on the gates and there were balloons the entire length of the driveway. When the car pulled up, Angie waddled as fast as she could to meet Bette as she stepped from the car, and they hugged with the door still open.

    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!
