Cure-all, Chapter 36
“You want your freedom…” Helena suddenly stated softly.
Tina was taken aback. She had of course expected the British woman to understand the reality of the situation. But what she hadn’t anticipated was Helena’s lucidity regarding her intentions.
She stared at the woman before her and sighed. She wasn’t going to beat about the bush. She owed Helena that much.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Hel’.” She started in a soft voice, “But more than that, I don’t want to lie to you.”
Then she added, looking straight in the brunette’s eye.
“This marriage was a mistake… And you know that.”
Helena didn’t answer right away. She lowered her head and took Tina’s hand.
“There was a time not so long ago when I really believed it wasn’t…” She said, her voice barely audible.
Tina felt a surge of tenderness for the British woman. Even though she knew this moment was inevitable, she would have done anything to spare her friend pain. She raised her hand to her cheek and spoke in a soft voice.
“Helena… Don’t you see that what we expect from life is so different?… Don’t you see that although what we have is precious, it’s just not… it’s not marriage material?”
Tina lowered her head,
“I know I should have realized this long before we even decided to get married… But I guess I hadn’t realized that, uh…”
Her words trailed off… How do you tell the woman you’re breaking up with that your great awakening actually happened just a few hours after saying yes to her?… Because even though Bette was not the only reason for her ending her marriage, Tina knew without a doubt that meeting her had been the fateful trigger.
There was a long silence during which both women kept their heads low, just holding hands with tenderness.
Then Helena raised her head.
“Tina, like I said to you before, I know I have my faults…” She paused, “Oh God, that’s the understatement of the year!” She exclaimed with a sarcastic chuckle, “Look at me, I couldn’t even make it back in time tonight… How pathetic is that?”

Helena was so understanding,and like most spouces didnt ask who with. Tina didnt need to explaine anything to her. Now Tina either call Shane and tell her to keep bette in town or go get her woman. It must be hard on Bette wondering what Heleba and Tina are doing. Bette really needs to be saved and Tina is her Knight in Shinning armor
That was grear, Helena is done, now let Tina go find Bette. Please post soon, thanks!
so glad that went well for both of them… helena knew… i had a feeling she did… now tina needs to go to bette and fast… great chapter… good job… PPS
Wow I think they handle that well and were very adult about it…Bravo now Tina go and tell your love how you feel.
Tina you need to stop lying awake in bed and go to Bette now, for sure she isn’t sleeping at all either…go and tell her, and do it now please:) pps
Oh, that was beautiful ! … And to be perfectly honest, I feel really sorry for Helena. I mean, obviously she’s smart and loyal and kind and caring and generous and everything… Only problem, she’s married to her career and that must be very frustrating for the person she’s supposed to share her life with… But that doesn’t make her a bad person, so yeah, somehow this is sad… I must say this was a great discussion though. I’m really glad Tina could make Helena see their demise as a couple doesn’t have much to do with Helena’s frequent absences and not make her feel too guilty ( although she probably feels she is, to some extent ). I knew she wouldn’t have blamed Helena, but that was still very tactful of her. And yet, I would have loved for Tina to find the courage to tell her she had not just met someone else, but she had met THE love of her life and nobody can “compete” with that. I mean, I realize this is not something that would usually make the person you’re breaking up with feel any better, hearing about someone else, but in this particular case I think Tina and Helena could be best described as best friends, so I do think Helena would like to hear that Tina has found happiness and most of all that she’s not leaving her for just anyone else. Anyway, I’m glad they’re going to stay friends because they owe that to each other. And at least Helena won’t have to find an answer to the question : ” who can ever replace her ? ” right away. Great chapter, K ! As usual…
She is free!!!!! Now she can run to her love, the one and only Dr. Bette Porter. I can’t wait to see how Tina lets Bette know that she is free to love her.
glad that went ok! now forget going to sleep tina needs to go get bette!
I’ve loved this story from the beginning and I’m dying for the next chapter! PPS
Wonderful, glad that”s over and it was very civilized and almost pain and guilt free. Tina needs to go now to Bette, not wait until the next day, Bette might be feeling so lost that she just might pick up and go somewhere in the middle of the night. If she won’t go to Bette immediately, at least call Shane to make sure that Bette says put until she can get to her. Can hardly wait until Tina goes to Bette. If we beg nice and sweetly can we get another chapter this weekend? Great chapter. PPS
Great update. Finaly Tina is free for Bette. Now Tina must fast get to Bette. She is probaly crying becauce she thinks she lost Tina. Please hurry! PPS
Oh poor Bette, probably holed up in her lab with the little mouse trying not imagine what Tina and Helena are up to. Tee.. go save her from herself.

I don’t comment too much cause usually I’m too much of an abnoxious back seat driver (think police car back seat).Honestly was sceptical about the beginning of your story….but goes to show I actually know jack.You have written such an award winning fanfic epic and I applaud your oh so wonderful delivery. I feel like Tina having to read everything with no satisfaction but every once in a while we ALL get to read a gem.And that is you.You keep the dream alive so well…..You have a talent I could only wish about.Thank you.
