    Tina looked around, her condo had been feeling less and less like home.  Ever since her and Bette had resumed a physical relationship, the need to be with her and Angie had become overwhelming.  But there was more going on with her and she new it. She spoke to Dr. Cron recently trying to figure out her feelings. Things had been going well and she finally was feeling human again, in control of her emotions and decision. The odd things was now that she was finally feeling she had her family again and things were moving in a healthy direction, the pain of all the mistakes hit her like a brick. This pain made no sense to her, Tina felt that she had addressed it all. Dr. Cron talked about how the mistakes of the past become the fears for the future when it comes to relationships. Bette and Tina had talked about a lot of things. The sorting of issues and the accompanying feelings was difficult, but it felt good to finally have spoken their truths to each other. Tina was looking forward to the week with Bette but she new there was still one more conversation they needed to get through before they could fully reunite. Her unsettled feelings, Dr. Cron had helped her understand, were coming from the fear of having this conversation. They had always been described as a power couple but when Tina looked back at that part of their relationship, she saw the last issue that needed to be addressed.

    A few hours later, Tina let herself into Bette’s home and climbed up the stairs to the master bedroom with her suitcase.  Bette had told her to use the left side of the dresser, her side for as long has she could remember. She looked around as an unexpected nervousness over came her. It had been a little over three years since she walked out that door with her suitcases feeling the weight of Angie’s and Bette’s eyes on her as she loaded her suitcases in into her car. It was hard to see the fear of walking away from her life with Bette and Angie when she accepted the position in Vancouver because the anger had fueled her resolve. As the distance overcame the miles on her drive to Vancouver taking her to her new life, she had the time to think and that is when the the tears began to fall. At the time, she didn’t understand her life or the version that chose Bette, nor was she in the emotional position to really understand the consequences of her decision to leave Bette.  It wasn’t until after the divorce was final that she felt the loneliness. Tina wrapped her arms around herself as she tried to shake the memory of that time.  Tina was surprised by this feeling, she had been in and out of this home regularly for the last couple months. She lived here for a couple weeks while Bette was recuperating, but this felt different. It was probably because now her and Bette had been reconnecting and this would be a big step in the reconciliation process. All three of their therapist supported the idea.  Bette brought it up when they learned that Angie would be gone for a week at camp when they were both home and Tina quickly agreed it was a good idea.  Tina was ready to move home, but like other things in this reconciliation, she had to wait until Bette was ready.

    1. SuperK,
      I felt like the overall ambiance of this chapter is likened to how masterfully Shane created Dana’s bar & grille with the feeling of the family gatherings that the girls love so much.

      I like how Angie is still stepping out to meet new friends but is able to be civil and cordial with Jordi. I like Angie’s willingness to heed Jordi’s warning to not drink the punch that likely contained alcohol and thereby avoid anything go ‘sideways”.

      I chuckled when Angie had been observing her Moms and noted that neither seemed to be “put together: with every hair in place in the mornings at breakfast. Which of course translate that they are at the very least sleeping in the same bed and perhaps NOT just sleeping 😜.

      With Shelly telling Tina about the “rumors” flying around in Vancouver, I feel like Carrie may still have a sizeable dosage of hurt still in her soul, and may end up collaborating some sort of “embarrassment” for Tina at the Emmy’s.

      Hope Tina remembers to ask Ang about what she heard at the party. If Tina haas a check in her spirit about whats-his-face and that Angie should not be around him, then she needs to HEED that warning.

        Right from the beginning I planned on Shane having something other than a bar. I think it opens up for so much more stories and yes Sunday Brunch is on again and maybe coffee every morning before work.

        I went back and forth about the pool party, but I needed a place to have a jerk and it worked for the story and who better to have to process homophobia but Angie.

    2. Trying to unpack my thoughts. Really hate when a so called friend or co-worker spreads hurtful gossip. Not cool at all. I would not hire her Tina. Feel badly for Tina that anyone would gossip about her going back with Bette for money. That is not only petty but also untrue. Also ironic as money IS or has been as issue between them in the past. Maybe Tina shared this with Carrie? Didn’t Carrie make some nasty comments about Bette? Sounds like hostility spread by Carrie. At any rate, Tina is highly successful and a power house in her own right. I think Tina knows this about herself and I just hope she does not allow hurtful gossip to steer her off course. I suspect she will win the Emmy and that will put to rest any possible issues. Take that Carrie! Glad that Angie did not drink the punch and essentially dodged that bullet. She is still young and naive and a little gullible. Hence Bette worrying. That’s what parents do. Yet it also seems Angie recognizes homophobia when she sees and hears it and is very willing to stand up to bullies. I hope Bette and Tina’s week together goes well and Tina moves back in. Again – talk to your counselor if necessary- do not allow gossip to enter your brain. It is time to literally put it all to bed. Love that they now have Shane’s version of The Planet. Home away from home. The pieces are coming together.

        I think Shelly did a good thing. Tina is headed back to the location, I would think she would like to know what is going on before she gets there.

        Gossip happens everywhere, but who likes to be surprised with it.

        Our girls a one step closer.

    3. Hey SK,

      Great to see your update.

      Tibette continues to move closer together & now on the verge of living together again!!

      Ruxford is a sleazy SOB & hopefully Tina is done with him.

      So could it be that Carrie is causing these mean spirited comments about Tina in Toronto? So glad she came to her senses & dumped her.

      Very good scene with Bette & the 2 teens – Go Bette!!!

      Thanks so much!!!

      Take care.

        I think it came together pretty good. A week together will be a learning opportunity for both.

        It was fun writing the scene with Tina and Bette parenting Angie. A day in the life… normalcy.

      Lovely chapter. Two really intimate moments, so different in tone and action and yet each representative of the progression. The first, B coming home, excited to see T and start their week together only to find that T has fallen asleep, so she finishes her work and crawls in to spoon T for the night. So sweet and yet such an act of love. No resentment, no guilt. Just, hey there – you’re tired I will let you sleep. So simple yet so loving at the same time.
      And then the second one, the shower. Just as intimate but for obvious other reasons. Well written.
      They are coming together, piece by piece. Looking forward to the next chapter=

    5. This is a lovely chapter describing the budding relationship between Bette and Tina. They are getting to the normal life activities of being together as the once were. They are enjoying each other’s presence without having a conversation or an intimate moment. That is a good thing…

      What happened at the Starbuck’s between Ruxford and Tina? Alice had been delayed in traffic so there was more time than anticipated however there was no conversation? Or we just not privy to what they said to each other. It is obvious that he is a homophobic bastard. And it is obvious that he is scared that he may have blown his project up by trying to meet Tina at the airport. But exactly what happened at the airport?

      I felt a little lost after the last chapter when they were leaving the gallery party and had gone to the beach and then we find our girls a week or so later coming home from Toronto and New York. I’m going to have to go back to the previous chapter, as I did not realize that Bette nor Tina had a trip scheduled.

      It seems that Carrie is still bitter over the breakup if she is out putting rumors out about Bette and Tina. Tina needs to resolve this if she is going to be in Toronto for any amount of time for her job. She can do this without seeing Carrie…. she needs to talk to Bette about what to do. If she ignores it, it will come up again. Nothing worse than a woman’s scorn….

      Thanks for the chapter…. look forward to the next one…

        Tina’s trip is mentioned a few time in passing. It is a routine trip wrapping up the 3rd season of Golden Chalice. Bette’’s trip is just a business trip.

        Hope that helps.

    6. Hey K,
      I so loved this chapter. I agree with you that at least Shelly had Tina’s back. Better to know that people are talking smack than not know.
      Regarding Ruxford, ooooh, I hope that Tina has that conversation with Angie, now that Tina knows that that the prick met her, and I hope Angie tells her what he was really saying. Loved Bette’s cops renting skills. I can totally see her as the enforcer. And what a great moment for Jordi to redeem herself by saving Angie from that whack ass party. And I’m so excited with this arrangement for Bette and Tina to stay together for the whole week. Can’t wait to see them grow that final bit to bring them to that place of forever.

        The chapter itself is more of a transition setting up the final, but it was fun to write. It was the first time we see our girls really parenting together. Up until this point we see them doing it separately. I was smiling the whole time I wrote that whole scene. There were two parts I liked the best, first where Bette defers to Tina when Angie tries to split and then Bette at the door.

        Tina in the end “Brutal”. LOL
