Alice picked it up and placed it in her bag. “Let me get Kit, someone, to drive you.”
To this, Bette nodded in assent.
“Don’t cry, Momma B,” offering her own manner of comfort to Bette’s stress.
The girl’s face was again in one of those looks of concern. A look that just mirrored her the way her mother would look when expressing a similar tone. Bette’s emotions could no longer be contained. She grabbed the napkin, holding it over her eyes as Angelica continued to speak on random subjects.
In this state, Bette barely felt Kit put her arm over her shoulder as she helped her to stand. She barely felt the kiss that Alice placed on her cheek, or heard the whispered good wishes for Tina’s health.
Confident in knowing that her daughter was properly tended, Bette let herself be chauffeured to the hospital. She jumped out at the emergency room door, telling Kit to take care of the car.
She ran into the desk demanding to see Tina.
And see her she did. A doctor came out and introduced himself.
He led the way to a quiet room. Alone, covered with a sheet, lay Tina Kennard. Whatever the doctor was saying made no sense to Bette. She heard the words. The ambulance brought her in. They did everything possible.
But none of the words made sense. Nothing could reconcile the fact that this woman, still beautiful despite the blood, the bruising, the tubes left attached, this woman was gone.
“We did everything in our power,” the Doctor continued, “but her injuries were too severe.”
Bette sat down next to the gurney. She grabbed Tina’s hand, finding it eerily cold.
“I’m sorry for your loss. We’ll give you a little time, then some staff will come in to help you make arrangements.”
Arrangements? The word sounded foolish. Of course they were making arrangement. They were making arrangements for another commitment ceremony. They were making arrangements to return their rings to their fingers. They were making arrangements to grow old together, happily ever after.
Bette stroked at Tina’s hair, now a matted mess. “Tina,” she whispered. “I need you Tina.” She stood, placing a kiss on her love’s lips. “I never stopped loving you.”
The reality, the enormity was beginning to sink in. “Tina,” Bette screamed. “Tina!” A name screamed to no effect.
Still grasping the hand, the tears came openly now. An open, raw cry.
She was in this state when Kit found her. She knew she could do nothing to comfort her sister. Not yet. Kit stepped out into the hallway to wait, letting loose her own grief.
“Angelica needs you.” Bette stared at the face. Relaxed, as if she were asleep. How many times had she watched Tina as the other woman had slept? She looked as carefree as she did now. “I need you.”
“You were my first. You are my always.” Bette pressed her lips to the hand within hers.
“I love you.” Over and over again Bette repeated the phrase, crying herself out beside the body of her love.
(the end)

Mmm… you do know that was evil, don’t you? At least let Bette have a little relief first. LOL. Oh, ok, that was bad, my sense of humor always was a bit off. Lovely written. The first part is all that i hope i could see on the show, Bette and Tina being playful and sexy and loving and building their life back together. It was like it was sunny and then suddenly it got plunged into darkness. And Jodi making an appearance with Angelica reacting to Jodi… If Tina died when Angelica was this young she’d probably always look at Jodi as her mom, and that’s just so wrong on so many levels *shivers* Once again congratulations, beautifully written. Now here’s to hoping season 6 sees both Bette and Tina healthy and in love and together.
Wow P you killed Tina.I’m in shock.
Wow, why did you do that for????
Umm, ok. Wow. I wasn’t expecting that at all. why did u kill Tina?
Uh…hm..and there I thought as of last Sunday I was done with the drama for this year. Clears Throat! That’s just sooooo sad!!!Beautifully Written though. Begging: Is that Tina’s twin who we never met? Could it be a clone? Hoax? Government Conspiracy? Couldn’t we bring in Mulder and Scully?
Ouch, that was brutal. For real. Killing Tina? Making Angelica overly loving toward Jodi? Damn, did Tina badmouth your Mom? That was really, really sad. Thank god IC seems to be planning better stuff for TiBette in S6. Never thought I’d say that.. thanks for the well written but painful read.
Not only was it what it was, it was really real. Oh, pseud, you naughty thing. You go, girl.
Jesus H. Pseud! We have just got them back together and …..what did you just do? I’m begging….do NOT have this as a chapter 1, please, please, please……….I think you need to make up for that, and quick! LOL. PPS.
YOu so did not just do that. Has IC been talking to you or something. We wait four years to get them back together. Come on , its a dream right, cos I know you would not do this to B&T.
So sad and beautiful. Thank you for posting–it must have been scary with all us rabid Tibetters. You are an amazingly talented writer.
totally shocked u killed tina!!! WOW
Beautifully done, but IC better not see it and get any ideas.
Oh my god…I can’t believe you just did that…are you taking “cruelty to Tibetter” lessons from I.C.? Oh please write an alternate ending to this….I loved the rest of it (sniffs and walks away sad).
Damn P that was just MEAN!!!!!!
I didn’t like this psued. It was all a dream, right?
Beautifully written, but THAT SUCKED!
Okey, Did you just kill Tina?? Why why.This is so not funny, please tell me that it was just a fucking dream. Please
OMG NO!!! How could you!!!! this is some chapter from Jenny’s book right????? And it’s Bette or Tina narrating. OMG Please say that is what it was!!!!
Ok….. that’s just… F*CKED UP! If you’re gonna kill Tina, at least replace her with Helena or Barbara Grisham so that Bette can have a HOT girlfriend. Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Is Bette just having a bad dream? Beautifully written but did you have to pick on Tina?
why, oh why?
Your writing always draws me in, that was an intense surprise, one never knows what is going to happen in life and you captured it well.
Not nice. First Chicki, now you… what’s with you girls killing off Tina?? Love your writing, but crap!
I can’t believe you just did that. I thought you loved our girls??? Please tell me this is some kind of bad dream. YOu and Chicki are killing me here. Still love your writing though… :) I’m sure your next post will be when Bette wakes up from this awful dream. right? RIGHT??
Great story !!! I’m just praying that Bette was having a really awful nightmare… Please don’t let this be the end for Bette and Tina… Angie needs both of her mommy’s…
Can’t believe you killed our girl off just when they were getting back together. Please tell me this is someone’s version of a really bad nightmare. A dream, as in Dallas.
Well….damn.
Okay pseud….this is a dream, right? Bette is having and when she wakes up Tina will be in bed next to her, stroking her hair to soothe away this horrible nightmare. If we want death in our lead actresses, we’ll just call on IC.*** Oh wait….she already did that***LOL! Gotta love the drama . PS.
i agree with swimmie. i hope your doing well. i also agree with skippy and tg. damn!! thx. it was well done as always.
I was just going to say that I loved your last 2 chapters since I seem to always be behind in reading. But you have gone and broken my heart. You have killed off TINA. You can’t do that, No you can not do that. It is a dream, right just a dream. Just like season 3 was a dream the last half of this chapter is a dream also, right.
I’m going to have to withold judgement. I couldn’t get past when the doctor said that they had done all they could. Seahurst wrote a story where Tina died, and I couldn’t finish reading it either. But, she encouraged me to read it to the end, and it was beautiful. So, I’m going to wait to see, if there’s another post, if not, I’ll just leave it at that. Fictional or not, life itself, is full or drama and pain. If I wanted that, I’d just read the local paper, or watch the news.
OMG this is not right, why you kill Tina, this is sad!
em… well written and all, but, why would you kill Tina? what kind of thoughts could be going through someones mind to write tina’s death? i dont get it.
Erf. For once I don’t want IC to take after your fanfics! First thing in the morning, that was kind of violent, even though it was beautifuly written.
WTF!!!!!????? weird…do u have a sore stomach or something or did Jodi pay U??!!!
I still can’t believe what you did. I miss words.I almost hate you, although you’ve killed fictional character, although you have some reasons to do so, I still, can’t believe that you’ve killed Tina.Some people think that tragic endings have also their greatness – they make think those who live. But I can’t agree with that. It’s a shame – to kill main heroes only in order to impress even cold and indifferent people.Crying and grieving is much easier that planning future. It may look nice and romantic – Tina is killed, Bette will love her till the end of her days, an example of real true love. But it doesn’t look that way for me – I can accept bad ending only if author would give the other chance for happiness. If the main heroes will get a chance to start over, to try once again… I may be wrong but I don’t understand what good can be found in killing the main heroes? Destroying the beauty of love? People need to be encouraged to believe in love& happiness and not the reverse. Havent we had enough of disappointments in our real life? I believe, books, movies, any other art should inspire its audience to believe in good things as love, friendship, should make us better. It shouldn’t kill the hope.That’s why your story is wrong.
It’s well written and all, but what a downer. I wonder what spurred this story? Well, I’m gonna rinse off the tragic ending from my thoughts for now. Thanks just the same.
Shocked, speechless – I don’t understand why you have done this. It’s absolutly not funny. First Chicki killed presumable B&T and now you. I thought you are a Tibetter. And Jodie in the picture. WTF. I have loved your stories. I cannot calm down at all. Please fix this. Bette have a nightmar or a presentiment… And please get Jodi for ever out of the picture an Bettes and Angies live. She has done enough and Bette humiliated. I never liked Jodi.
Speechless! *tears running down face*
Well, first of all, a story like this makes me think a writer had a *really* crappy day. I hope that’s not the case. Secondly, I find it really disconcerting that this is exactly the storyline I was contemplating yesterday, but then I decided my bad mood didn’t warrant it. Finally, I have to say, having a fictional character taken from you is kind of sad and makes me feel melancholy, but it reminded me to appreciate the 3-D world I inhabit, and to be thankful for the health and well being of those I still have around me. It’s very hard to live with regret after someone is gone from your life, but if you’ve lived your truest self up to that loss, it’s an easier passage. And damn, look at the list of comments! You drew ’em out of the wood work with that one. Not likely that will dissuade you from a similar ploy in the future, one imagines. Well written as always.
ok- Audi made me chuckle with her comment and i’m in agreement with TG- well damn…
omg u are seriously… ugh, I’m speechless. I’m just thanking god this is only fanfiction. Very awesome fanfiction. :Ddamn u. :D
I am in total shock…I mean why would you do that…I have tears in my eyes…what will happen to Bette and Angie without Tina they will be lost
you know its funny the things you think when you lose someone unexpectedly like how when the dr. mentioned arrangements bette thought of a ceremony. And soon she will think of their morning they spent together and of tinas promise, now never to be fulfilled, to reciprocate her love for bette in the evening when they got home then she’ll think of how when she woke to kisses and promises she never imagined today would be that day….what a tragedy.
LOL. I was ready to read a wonderful and nice story just to give me some courage for the day :p And Now Tina is dead :p Anyway, It was really well written, and I really enjoyed reading you! Thanks ! :) Barbara
Dear author, here I am, discovering your stories so many years after you wrote them and yet, I feel the need to express my emotions…
Yesterday, between two lovely chapters of yours, I read this awfully painful end-of-story and it haunted me for the rest of the day, between pain and anger… Pain, for I am and will always be a Bette&Tina lover as well as a deep romantic. So, anger too because I felt shocked.
But then, I thought about your work and it took sense : in life, we’re all living as if tomorrow will never happened, as if death doesn’t exist – simply because it’s human failure. Our protection. But here, in fiction world, where we love to let our dreams and hopes live, strangely it seems even more difficult to accept sudden tragedy.
For me, it seems that it was your exact point : to let us touch this awful truth that happiness can end anytime. That everyone should savour each moment for we ignore if next hour could take everything from our lives, forever… So, even if it was hard to read, awfully hard, I thank you, For the philosophy. Sense over sensitivity…
You were truly talented and I’m still discovering your last stories – hoping for your return here… Why not ? :-)
Your faithful reader from Switzerland – A.
