Tina had remained unconscious for five days after her c-section. She awoke to the sound of Bette’s voice, reading to their newborn daughter, in a chair pulled up as close to Tina’s bed as she could get. It was the sweetest sight Tina had ever seen. Tina only had time to reach out her hand to Bette and feel Bette’s touch before she lapsed back into unconsciousness. Tina awoke again a few hours later to find Bette sitting in the same chair, now alone. Her knees were tucked up into a fetal position, one arm wrapped tightly around them, with her face buried, and the other holding Tina’s hand.
Not sure how much time had passed, Tina managed to muster enough energy to stroke Bette’s hand gently with her thumb. She didn’t have the strength for words. But Bette felt her touch, and looked up, tears running down her face.
“Tee? Tina? Are you awake?” Bette had practically jumped off the chair, but managed to keep her hand firmly grasping Tina’s.
Tina had nodded, still not feeling able to force out the words. The doctors poked and prodded, and ran about a hundred tests, or so it felt, before allowing Tina to see her baby. Bette only left her side when it was time to get the baby from the nursery.
Tina felt tears fill her eyes at the memory of their first time together as a family. Bette and Angelica had so obviously bonded. Bette was positively beaming as she walked into Tina’s room cradling the tiny infant, and Tina could see that Angelica had her hand wrapped tightly around Bette’s index finger. They looked absolutely perfect together, and Tina knew at that moment that her decision to move home had been the right one. Bette carefully passed the baby to Tina, and sat down on the bed next to them, draping her arm lovingly around Tina’s shoulders. Tina could not express what she felt when Angelica looked into her eyes the first time, instinctively knowing exactly who Tina was.
“Bette, she’s beautiful,” was the only thing Tina could say. Bette kissed Tina on the forehead.
“Almost as beautiful as you, Baby.” Tina felt Bette relax for what she assumed was probably the first time in five days. Tina carefully studied her baby in her arms. It was still too early to know for sure, but both of them agreed that she had Tina’s hazel eyes. Her mocha skin was just like Bette’s. And if Tina didn’t know better, she would have sworn she had Bette’s hands. Tina nursed the baby for the first time, then the maternity nurse interrupted them. It was time for Angelica to go back to the nursery, and for Tina to get some rest. But, if Tina’s condition remained stable, she said she could go to a regular room the next morning.

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.
