“Melvin was a powerful man, too. There aren’t many people who make Bette nervous, but she always trembled just a little in his presence.” Tina smiled, then looked into Bette’s eyes. “Melvin, thank you for both of your beautiful daughters, and especially the one that completes my life.”
Tina returned to her seat next to Bette, where she belonged. She pulled Bette into a tight embrace and held her while she cried. Although she knew Bette was crying over the loss of her father, a selfish part of her hoped some of Bette’s tears reflected a small amount of happiness at their reunion. Tina left the service early on strict instructions from Dr. Wilson not to be on her feet too much. However, she couldn’t make her escape before she was cornered by Alice, Dana and Shane, and interrogated about whether she and Bette were really back together.
“Yeah, we are.” Tina acknowledged with a shy smile. “I’m moving back into the house. We’ve got a long road ahead of us, this doesn’t mean things are perfect, but I want to do what I should have done ten months ago. I want us to try to work through together.” Tina told them. They all hugged her, and Alice squealed, ecstatic that their family was reuniting.
Bette was exhausted, physically and emotionally after the memorial service, and they took a long nap together, much like they had slept the night before Melvin died. Tina was so proud of Bette, how she had opened herself up, made herself vulnerable, and allowed Tina to be there at this dark time. Tina was also deeply thankful, because Bette’s newly discovered openness meant they had a real chance to rebuild their life together.
That night, they went to a fundraiser for the Ms. Foundation, featuring Heart, Gloria Steinem, and that same weird band that had been at Melvin’s service. Tina still couldn’t figure out why those musicians seemed to turn up everywhere she went. Tina and Bette hadn’t been at the Wiltern Theater long when Tina’s water broke, and they had to go rushing home. Tina remembered very little about that night, and from the things Bette and others have told her, she was thankful. Tina had honestly believed she was dying that night, and that their baby wasn’t going to make it, either. The little she recalled from that night was focusing on the ten months she lost with Bette, and of worrying about Bette now being alone after everything else she had lost. Tina had fought to stay with Bette, but her fever had won out, and she lost consciousness.

sulky sucky bette………….she needs 2 grow up………..
i CAN SEE WHERE bETTE IS COMING FROM.,but it was her who started it. Remember Tina still can’t call Candace by her name. I would react the same way,and Helena has been rough on Bette and her job and prading Tina all over the place so that Bette could see her with Bette lover on anothers arm. thanks
i don’t think i read that chapter so many times LOL i’m glad tina is going to end things with helena properly, i just hope helena will listen and it won’t create any problems between B&T
Good chapater and Im with BetteAndTinaForever. Please post more, thanks!
Ok, a sulking, pouting Bette is no fun at all! Tina needs to end things.
Damn, Bette wake up so you can bask in the after glow. While this exposition is necessary to fill in the blanks I kind of want to kick Bette in the head. Tina forgave you for cheating on her. You don’t need to be pissy that she attempted to move on after you pretty much shattered her..and she had nothing. So, if someone is to blame for not being the only woman to lay Tina.. Bette needs to own up a bit. But obviously they work through everything considering the present tense in the story.
I am cracking up over the Betty references… “the particularly annoying girl band that seemed to be popping up everywhere with no explanation.” That was my thought throughout Melvin’s service and during that impromptu round-table discussion. Strange, indeed! As far as Helena goes,I actually felt bad with the way Tina ended things with her. I felt she had genuine feelings for Tina and didn’t deserve to be kicked to the curb so indifferently. Great chapter.
Wow! Powerful chapter which contained alot of elements of emotion. Alot could be said, and has been actually, about Tina’s reaching out to her former lover, but instead I’ll just say that I find it very interesting where you could go with it, as there are SO many options. Hmm…alot comes to mind in this particular chappy, but it’s all good and thought provoking dear, so no worries. Thanks for always managing to fill so many gaps where IC had failed. Bring on the next one!!! Great Stuff.
temper, temper. thanks.
I can just see Bette stomping off and fair enuff it’s too early in their reunion for her to feel safe with Tina and Helena is her competition…as for the carpenter, I roll my eyes!!!! Lmao. I’m really enjoying your story.
Ooh…pissy, insecure Bette! Not a pretty sight. Indeed she started it all, but she doesn’t have to respond as she has. But she’s human–what a concept! The annoying girl band refs also cracked me up! I do believe Helena had genuine feelings for Tina, but I don’t see that it was a lasting relationship in that Helena was very manipulative and self-serving. So indeed closure must take place, but I don’t think it has to be a “step off, b*tch” sort of thing. Love how you’ve filled in the gaps of what we didn’t see and kept it real with some conflict! It’s only in our fantasies that B & T are lovey-dovey all the time. Just loving this story!
i feel for both of them, thank you friend that was touching. post soonlove
Bette can’t help how she feels, but I have no doubt that she will step up and be the loving supportive partner that Tina knows and loves. Bette knows Tina loves her but sometimes even strong Alpha people get scared and jelous and it makes them turn into bratty petulent children without them being able to do a thing about it. They feel bad afterwards but what’s done is done and can’t be taken back. PPS
Oh I just can’t get enough of this story, it’s just excellent! And believe you me, I definitely want another great NC-17 chappy… so how about some Flowers? Chocolate? Wine? Begging? More praising? What would do the trick?
What a great story…I love the pacing, it seems like they are taking enought time to think about and talk about things this time so they might actually work out this time
So, it appears that Helena didn’t come to visit Tina in that Peabody Hospital bed, =at all=? (H forgot the way over?… H’s Jag is in the shop?…) I believe our Bette can rest easy. – – – And dear Steph, if you need to mention a certain group again, feel free to change the word ‘musicians’ to ‘noisemakers’; we’ll know who you mean.
