    Author Notes:

    What lies beneath it all.

    With her sandwich finished she drank the rest of her water and returned to the kitchen. She looked out of the window into the backyard. She remembered all the hours that she had spent with Tina sitting by the pool with nothing to do but talk about how much in love they were, which always lead to showing each other how much in love they were with each other. She wished for those times again, but also knew that what she had now with Tina was something deeper. All they had to do now was look at each to know how profound the love was between them. That was something that Bette wished would never change.

    Bette shook her head and laughed at herself. All this introspection wasn’t doing her any good at all. What she really needed was to be in bed, falling asleep next to the woman who made all her dreams come true. She took off her shoes and padded down the hallway to their bedroom. The door was slightly ajar and the sight before her made Bette stop in the doorway. Tina’s back was to her but she could see the rise and fall off her body as Tina slept. Bette could feel the ache in her heart begin to build as she watched, but she couldn’t look away. For her this was one of the most beautiful things that she had ever seen. The woman she loved completely at peace with the world.

    Eventually, after several minutes, Bette walked into the bedroom to retrieve her pyjamas. She took them into the bathroom with her as to not disturb Tina from her sleep. Bette looked into the mirror and was surprised to see the lines that were beginning to etch themselves into her face. She knew that this had more to do with the hours that she had been working than the passage of time. But maybe what Tina had said before was true, they aren’t getting any younger, and if they were going to start a family then really they should be getting on with it. Bette hated it when Tina was right.

    Bette leant over the sink to brush her teeth. The rhythmic brushing emptying her mind of everything that was troubling her. She knew that this had to happen for her to get a good nights sleep. If not she was going to be up all night, planning her finances, her next career move, what she should say to Tina when the morning came. There seemed to be no easy answers for Bette right now and this made her anxious.

    11. I like how in the first chapter that you gave us Bette’s view point and in this chapter we see Tina’s view point. I hope that they are able to come to an understanding.

    18. I hope Tina’s desire for a baby is inate rather than something to do instead of a job that no longer satisfies. And if it is, I hope they come to realize that it is possible to happily have a family in slightly less posh surroundings, should that become an issue. I always thought the TV versions were just a bit retarded on that point. In other words, I hope they can be happier in your version.

    19. it’s great to see you posting again. i like it. bette seems to be struggling with some issues. would we be seeing tina’s pov too? please post soon :)

    21. CG….beautifully expressed as usual. On the TV version, neither character seems to be particularly introspective. They need more dialogue. That’s why in my mind, excellent FF such as yours gives the fans a more authentic picture of the characetrs’ motives and thinking. PPS.

    22. You were able to convey such love, tenderness, doubt and fear in only one short page. This is the crucial point in their relationship where communication and a little help might have prevented their bullet train into hell. Welcome back.

    24. Always love to see a post from you, and it never disappoints! Is this a one off or the start of something new for them to discover?? Whichever – it was great mate.

    29. Love this fic!! Just beautifully written as always. I hope they talk in the morning,because They are madly in love with eachother,but the communication is lacking.

    31. Excellent beginning to understanding Bette’s view of her relationship with Tina. I hope it continues… and I agree w/ superdaddy’s comment- no drama.
