“Omigosh—I just threw her out of our house!?” Tina’s brain caught up with that fact. “She probably really thinks I’m crazy now!” She had to chuckle at the irony of the situation…since she was the one who had moved out and asked to move back.
Still, she was pissed with Bette—the nerve of her questioning her desires for a man! It was all her fault that they were even talking about this. If Bette had controlled herself with Candace, this wouldn’t have been an issue!
Or was that really true?
Tina got herself another bottle of water and pondered what was really going on. She wanted security, but Bette wasn’t able to provide that—money was flying out the door faster than it was coming in, and she didn’t want their child to lack for anything. But Bette wasn’t doing enough to change that. Sure, she wanted to spend more time with Angelica, but somebody had to work! Why didn’t Bette see that?
It was clear that the stipends she got for her pet projects were not enough, and Tina was beginning to worry that they were going to lose everything. Why didn’t Bette seem to be concerned? That’s what bugged her so much—her words fell on deaf ears, and it seemed that her feelings didn’t matter to Bette. But Tina was not going to let this continue and needed to do something about it. But what? What could provide her with a sense of comfort?
She thought back to the fantasies she had after some of her online encounters with men. That idealized notion of the house with the picket fence, with hubby bringing home the bacon, and the children and the car and all those things girls were taught to want. Such an uncomplicated life. Tina didn’t know what any of those men looked like, but she pictured herself and them, setting up house, in one of those idyllic scenes from the 1950s where there were no controversies, no questions about who was the head of the house. There was no blurring of gender roles—it was understood who was to do what.
Each time she lost herself in that fantasy world, Tina found some comfort in that picture-perfect life for a few moments. But she always came to the same realization—“That’s not the life I chose!”

Great Update Sweetie………Kit a voice of reason………I really feel that they really, really need to finished this conversation. But then again this little alone time can be very helpful. They can think about what the other said and take heed to it. PLEASE DON’T TAKE TO LONG to post.And who is knocking on the window? Alice? Shane? Helena? or Candace?It better be TINA! ILU
This was really well written. Excellent dialogue. Please post sooner b/c it is such a good story and you’ve been missed.
Verrrrry nice update, Arr. Quite authentic as always. Ok, I’m considering dusting off my FFA card. Let me echo, PPS.
I haven’t commented in awhile but I gotta come out of hiding and say great update and well worth the wait.Thank goodness for Kit is right Probie.It better be Tina at the door.
Great chapter, nice to see Kit keeping her cool and making sense:-)And I am still chuckling from your nick name for Candace – ‘hammer girl’, its up there with ‘butter boy’ ;-)
I hope its Tina banging on the car window….tunnel vision is such a male thing maybe being raised by her daddy Bette has real issues seeing a woman’s point of view…Great Great chapter PPS
Great story. I’m so glad Bette has Kit. .She has such a great ability to diminish Bette’s feelings and place most of the blame on Bette for Tina/Bette relationship problems. I’m curious are you going to make Tina come clean about her flirtation with Josh in this story? I really enjoy your writing and hope to see the story continued.
Who is that knock on the door, hope is Tina or Shane. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Hopefully it is Tina knocking on the window but my luck it is Shane or someone else. Thank goodness that Kit knows her sister and can be the voice of reason for her. Both are so messed up that they probably need a third party to get them to sit down and discuss all of their problems. Maybe Kit or Shane if they do not want to go to a therapist.
O.o I thought I had read this. Apparently I didn’t. :( I’m not sure throwing Bette out was the best thing for Tina to do, though it did lead to Bette calling Kit and getting a verbal kick in the ass from her.
I absolutely love this fic and I was wondering if you were going to finish it? I hope so!!!
I’m sorry…it’s been sooo long i had to re-read the previous chapters!! LOL Kidding!! Alright Arr…now while I agree with some of what Kit said…The moment Tina left Bette, and then asked to come back, puts forth thte fact that, the house is Bette’s. Tina thought it was amusing..that’s just downright rude. And although that Kit is right about some of her observations, we know that Bette tried talking with Tina when she was back. She tried to instigate chats with comparisons to books, and other ways, but TIna just shut her down. Maybe if Bette went on line and posed as a man Tina would have been more willing to talk with her! LOL That’s funny i should write that fic!!
Thank goodness for Kit. Hope Bette learns a few things from her sister’s experience. Great update even if it did take a long time.
yea, great update…lets just hope we don’t have to wait to see who came a knockin’.. ;)PPS!
Great update, as usual, Arr. I was definitely starting to miss your wonderful insight. I really appreciate the great time and effort you put into trying to fix our favourite couple . Can’t wait for your next chapter !
Kit is a very wise woman, in a relationship there is not only “I”, there need to be some “I” otherwise you lose your identity but the mayor part is about “We”. And certainly not how it became between Bette and Tina, meaning “You”. Don’t ever blame the the other for what’s going on, blame “We”. Everyone is vulnarable and everyone can make mistakes that only makes us human. Another great chapter arkaycee with a huge cliffhanger…it’s time that you take the time to write to next chapter. Ok, I’m in no position to say that but I think with me many others are waiting impatiently for you to continue. Get your sh!t together and write the next one NOW :-)
