“So, you’ll come?” Tina asked just as a semi roared past her, drowning out the response she’d hoped for. She was heading to Burbank to use one of their editing rooms to see the dailies from her latest film production. While the studio had been understanding when she gave them the short version of why she had to make a trip to LA, they still insisted, and she still wanted to be involved with the day to day filming of the movie she was producing. So, after spending a wonderful, yet painful evening with Bette, today would be spent in a windowless room in Burbank.
With both hands on the wheel, she steadied the car after being buffeted by the wind created by the speeding semi. “Car, are you there?”
“Tina? Cara, can you hear me?”
Breathing a sigh of relief that she hadn’t lost the long-distance call, she responded. “Yes, I can hear you. Did you answer? I couldn’t hear.”
“Yes, of course I’ll come. Angie and I have a wonderful relationship, but this news will change the dynamic of your family. It’s important that after you share our news, we spend some time with her together in a place where she can be comforted by the familiar.”
“Yes, it is important, that’s why I thought that maybe you would like to be there, so we can all tell her together.”
“Oh Cara…thank you so much for that.” There was silence, and for a moment Tina thought the call had been dropped. “Car?” She asked.
“I’m here. I just needed a moment. ” Tina could hear the sigh emanating from across the continent and for a moment, a bubble of panic ballooned in her chest. Maybe, just maybe Carrie didn’t want to be with her when they shared their news with Angie.
“Tina, I love that you want me beside you,”
“Oh, good!” Tina breathed a sigh of relief, allowing her death grip on the steering wheel to loosen.
“But,” Carrie continued, causing Tina’s grip to tighten again. “This is something you and Bette need to do, just the two of you.” She stopped for a moment and Tina could hear a muffled conversation between, Carrie and someone else. “Sorry Cara, they need me in the studio. Something about unwanted ambient sound during the crescendo.” Carrie laughed; the sound as musical to Tina’s ears as that created by her composer fiancée. “What do you want to bet, someone missed a note and that ambient sound starts with a f and ends with a k! Anyway, as much as I would love to be beside you when you tell Angie, she needs to know that nothing will change, that she will still have both her beautiful mothers. And, she needs to feel safe to react and talk freely, without me there inhibiting that. Then we can spend some time together the three of us.” Tina again heard the gentle laughter. “I’m sure your headstrong and passionate daughter will have some very pointed questions for me.”

Sorry, no too
Sorry, stopped with reading after one and a halve page. Not what i wish to read.
in agreement…by this is a palce for free creations..but this one is not for me.
Sorry but no !
A true Tibetter cannot take this
SG
I have so much ambivalence towards these characters now because of the inability of the show writers to write a storyline for a committed couple. Marriage can be messy and difficult sometimes, it does not always end in divorce. People do have the guts and desire to stay in a situation albeit complicated because they do love each other deeply. I love the different perspectives and styles of the writers taking on this challenge, it is balm on a wound created by poor directionless writing that has made our an iconic couple’s storylines a cliche.
Very brave to take this approach given the TiBetters have already made Carrie a hated character the likes of Jenny. Lovely story and gives background where the show writers miserably have failed. JB and LH are such wonderful actresses and know these characters so well that it is a shame the storylines are such a cliche.
I’m feeling a little sick…..Every child of divorced parents i know have a desire that they be married and living together. That is true even if they have been fighting and screaming at one another while they were together. I cannot imagine a child of 16 thinking and responding like this.
If Angie did not think that Bette needed Tina, she would never have called Tina to come to Bette’s aid after the attack incident. In this, I see that Bette is sad about this, And if this is such the right thing for Tina to do, why is she having such a hard time getting the words out? Why are they catching in her throat?
I cannot see Tina walking away from Bette, divorcing her and leaving her child for two years for occasional visits and what daily phone conversations? This is not the Tina I know!
this does indeed break my heart but this is really amazing and brave writing and i just love it for that reason. not sure how i see this woman who is somehow better for Tina than Bette but this is a great take on the usual show mearge offerings.. maybe if GEN Q gets a 3rd and 4th season we might see some sort of reunion but this tina remarrying situation is how the writers are dealing with LH limited availability – and an excuse to have JB giving us the full range of her acting skills. You are a brilliant writer Sea and you should keep writing –
Well done and thank you for giving us a psychologically credible explanation of the truly dire Tibette storyline that the show’s ‘writers’ have developed. I want to write a fanfic myself, in which they end up happy ever after, and which respects the canon, but so far I got nothin! You are a really good writer, Seahurst, bravo
Who knows? Maybe B&T will have an affair while Tina and Carrie are married. In the Tibette world anything is possible
Wow. This is the first of the entries I have read and, you, Seahurst, get the Les Fan Medal of Honor for tibette fanfic bravery. I haven’t figured out yet what I want to happen with B&T, but your great writing, as always, presents a very believable scenario. My one demand (HAH–as if) for future seasons is that Angie have ZERO heartbreak. Thanks for sharing that POV in your story. Hope to read more from you.
