    Author Notes:

    Chapter 26

    Tina whimpered, muttering something that Bette couldn’t quite make out.

     

    “Ssshhh,” Bette soothed, gently rubbing her hand along the length of Tina’s back. “You’re safe, Tina. It’s only a dream. Everything’s okay. I’m right here.”

     

    Tina settled herself, falling immediately back to sleep, and Bette smiled, snuggling up to her again. Bette loved sleeping with Tina, holding her all night long, their bodies tangled together and pressed close. Even after all these years, Bette cherished the feeling of this woman next to her, was still amazed by their perfect fit, back to front.

     

    In the months she and Tina were apart, Bette had had ***** with other women, but she slept alone every night. After her various liaisons, Bette would get up in the pre-dawn hours, noiselessly slip into her clothes, and find her way through unfamiliar rooms to let herself out into the darkness. She hadn’t really thought about this behavior at the time, but now, as she lay awake next to her dreaming wife, Bette realized that it had been a way to hold herself apart. To keep some piece of her heart closed off to anyone but Tina.

     

    “Even when I wasn’t with you I was with you,” Bette sighed, kissing Tina’s shoulder.

     

    Their separation had taken a harsh toll on Bette, hollowing out her spirit. Tina had remained inaccessible to her, refusing to accept her calls or see her for weeks. Shane and Dana had rallied around Tina, erecting a formidable wall of protection and silence. And even Kit, with her seemingly endless reserves of patience where Bette was concerned, had initially been furious. Only Alice would speak to her, and those conversations were almost more painful than silence.

     

    “Can’t you please tell me how she is?” Bette pleaded. “She won’t even answer the phone to let me apologize.”

     

    “She’sshe can’t talk to you right now. She’s trying to take care of herself and she needs some time to figure that out,” Alice said, measuring her words.

     

    “But I’ve left her a thousand messages. All I want to do is tell her I’m sorry.”

     

    “I don’t think she cares what you want to tell her,” Alice said sadly, shaking her head. “I’ve never seen her like this. It’s like she’sbroken.”

    2. Bette spends so much time showing the outside world her ruff ‘n tuff exterior that they arent given a chance to know that she can be weak. She is not always going to be the pillar of strength that others see.

      These tender moments that she and Tina share are long overdue. They stopped being there for one another and its good through FF that they spend so much time being brought together in ways that make us appreciate their togetherness even more.

    3. “I need you to hold me and never let go,” Cramit whispered to FFC’s fiction.

      “Okay.” FFC’s fiction replied. “But you need to shift your arm. You’re putting my nouns to sleep.”

      :D

      Comfort enough is never enough cause this story is and will remain a classic on this site. I can’t guarantee its place over at the Fake Women and the Fake Women Who Love Them fan fic site, but I promise to petition hard for you. 5 stars for………say it with me now……..every letter S in the story. :)

    4. Bette reflecting as she lay so close to Tina was nice. Allowing her to do this in the darkness of night permits her to let it all out without fear of truly being seen.

      We all have those ‘ah ha’ moments when we become fully aware of how things should be despite what initial intention we have. Tina’s hurt at the attorney’s office was that moment for Bette.

      They are carefully reconstructing the foundation of their relationship using open and honest communication as the mortar.

      Thanks for giving them the opportunity to be there for each other.

    7. that was so sadly sweet. it is the Tibette us fans long for. I can’t help but feel as though we have been cheated on the show. these 2 started out having problems. they were only intimate twice in the first 2 episodes. and then Bette cheats and it is downhill from there. even in season 2 it took 9 episodes before they came together again, physically. AAARGGH!!!
      sorry I just had to vent.
      great story fan, keep it up.

    10. ‘we have to make it safe for each other…………..’ – yes, a shared vulnerablity…the definition of intimacy — they have coma a long way…..thanks

    11. ‘we have to make it safe for each other…………..’ – yes, a shared vulnerablity…the definition of intimacy — they have coma a long way…..thanks

    12. i agree with the other posters. im so not happy with the way the direction of the show is going. will we ever see anything remotely this beautiful, tender, heartfelt and intelligent. yoko, my heart is heavy also. IC is killing us.

      fan you soothe our tibette hearts with pieces of art such as this. after yesterdays spoilers this is all i can say. thank you.

    14. Very nice deptiction of the vulnerability underneath Bette’s tough exterior. Those middle-of-the-night talks are often the most open and heartfelt and you depicted that here. I’m enjoying this everyday.

    15. great chapter *applaud* I love this intimacy. Yes we have been cheated on the show. Tibette have the love we all desire. Keep the drama between dana and alice. They can handle it:)

    16. simple beautiful…im glad Bette is shownig her more to Tina and this is not weakness….and im with the others im feeling betrayed by the show.. IC and her people have no respect for us fans and without us she have nothing..another amazing chapter FFC your ROCK thanks:o)

    18. I enjoy each and every word of your writing. You do a great job of painting each character’s emotions such that the reader can feel them as well. Lovely.
