Cure-all, Chapter 36
“Helena, stop…” Tina pleaded softly, “… Please.”
She squeezed her hand,
“No one is to blame. We just…” She choked on the tears stuck in her throat, “… I think what really matters is that we stop lying to ourselves.” She finished in a hoarse voice.
The British woman looked at her for a moment, then she gave a slight nod.
Tina lowered her head for a few seconds. Then she took a deep breath and looked up to Helena.
“There is, uh… there is something else I want to tell you…” She started.
“Wait… Before, can I ask you something?” The brunette said softly.
“Yes, of course.”
“Were you…” She hesitated, “Were you ever happy with me?”
Tina couldn’t hold the tears any longer. She grabbed the British woman and held onto her.
“Oh Helena… Of course I was.” She said crying, “Don’t you ever doubt that!… I wouldn’t change our time together for anything…”
She held the brunette tight for a while, then she pulled away and touched her face.
“You’re such a wonderful person, Helena.” The blonde said with tenderness, “I love who you are… Your kindness and generosity… You’re so passionate, you’re loyal, you’re…”
“… not the one you love.” Helena cut in.
Tina froze. She stared at the brunette, speechless. She slowly registered the words… especially the choice of the words. She hadn’t said ‘You don’t love me’… No, she had said ‘Not the one you love’…
Helena was looking back at her, a sad smile on her face.
“That’s what you wanted to tell me, right?” She asked gently.
“I…” Tina had suddenly lost all speech ability. She had carefully prepared what to say to Helena, how to say it… But she had been so taken aback that now she just couldn’t find the right words.
The British woman touched her chin.
“I can see it in your eyes, Tina…” She murmured, “A sparkling light that I have never seen before…”
She paused, then with a small but genuine smile she added,
“… And whoever kindled that light is a very lucky woman.”
Tina lowered her head. Before she could help it, not that she really wanted to, Bette’s beautiful face appeared in her mind… She could feel the fresh tears on her cheeks.

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.
