After the nurse took Angelica from Tina’s arms, Tina scooted over in her tiny hospital bed, inviting Bette to lie down next to her.
“I need to feel you next to me, Bette. It might be the only way I can feel safe enough to fall asleep right now.” Bette complied, gently lying down next to her, softly brushing Tina’s hair from her face. Tina strongly suspected that Bette had hardly slept in the days Tina was unconscious, and hoped the brunette might finally get some much needed sleep, as well. Before they had a chance to speak, Dr. Wilson walked in.
“I see you’re feeling better,” Dr. Wilson smiled. Bette had started to get up, but Dr. Wilson waved her hand, gesturing for Bette to stay where she was. “You two have been through quite an ordeal these last few days. Don’t move on my account.” Both Bette and Tina were grateful. After a brief examination by Dr. Wilson, the two soulmates fell asleep, Bette spooning tightly against Tina’s back, as they snuggled in the small hospital bed.
Tina was moved from the ICU to a regular room the next day, but both she and Angelica remained in the hospital for just over another week, both receiving high-dose antibiotics to wipe out the infections that had nearly taken them both. In some ways, Tina’s complications had been a blessing in disguise. Bette hardly left Tina’s side, and they talked about everything in those eight days. Or almost everything. They talked about Candace, and why Bette had done what she had. They talked about the distance that had grown between them, and how both of them had changed when Tina quit work to focus on having a baby.
Bette had gone first, slowly forcing out the words. “I am so sorry, Tina. There are not enough words in the English language to convey the depth of my regret. I know how much I lost, and what I stand to lose. It will never happen again. I promise.”
“You promised before, too, Bette.” Tina challenged. She could see by Bette’s expression that her words had cut through Bette’s heart like a dagger, showing a fear that Tina had changed her mind about coming home.

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.
