    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina, 3 months after the end of Season 2.

     

    Tina still had not moved, had not said a word, and had barely breathed in the minutes that passed since she had told Bette she was thinking of Helena as Bette had been kissing her neck.  She summoned every bit of courage she could find as she spoke softly, almost whispered, to her wife.

     

    “Bette?  Babe?  Are you okay?”  Nothing.  “Will you please say something?  Anything.  Please?”  Despite her stony silence, Tina was relieved Bette was still sitting in front of her.  The old Bette would have stormed out, sped off in her precious SAAB, and been halfway to Malibu by now. 

     

    Still saying nothing, Bette pulled her knees against her chest, finally sliding the towel from her face, and wrapping it around her body, which was quickly becoming cold and covered in goosebumps as the cool night air dried the water from her skin.  Bette took a deep breath, exhaling slowly,

     

    “What exactly do you want me to say, Tina?”  Bette’s voice was icily calm, causing Tina to feel as though her heart had been pierced.  Tina swam to the near edge of the pool, leaning forward into the pool wall, her arms folded against each other, resting on the concrete patio deck.

     

    “I want you to say whatever it is you’re thinking, whatever you’re feeling.”  Tina replied, trying to keep her voice steady so as not to communicate the depth of her fear to Bette.

     

    “What I’m feeling, Tina, is like a fool.”  Bette closed her eyes, unable to look, unwilling to let her see the truth.  Bette didn’t feel foolish.  She felt fear like she had only known once before, the night Tina walked out on her ten months earlier.

     

    “Bette…Babe, it’s not what you think.”  Tina paused, not sure how to begin explaining herself.  Bette cut her off before she had a chance to continue.

     

    “What I think, Tina, is that while I was starting to make love to my wife, she was thinking of another woman.”  Bette fought to maintain her calm demeanor, knowing that if she lost even the tiniest bit of control, she would lose it completely.  Tina raised her head to find that Bette was finally looking at her.  But the love that had inhabited Bette’s chocolate eyes only minutes earlier had vanished, replaced by hurt and fear.

    6. That was ahard chapter for Bette to hear but she needed to understand Tina’s feelings about what had happened. I’m glad it ended well for them. Great work Steph.PPS

    10. I like your explanation of Tina’s and Helena’s relationship, Steph. I think you’re right that Tina tried to love Helena, but wasn’t free to do so. Love the story.

    11. Ahhh wow, that was a hard one for sure. You were brave in your honesty, when you wrote how difficult it is to move forward if you don’t honestly reveal some painful moments. In order for Bette to really accept Tina back completely, to trust their relationship, and move forward, she unfortunately is needing to hear the ghosts of the past. Tina, knowing that what she will reveal has the potential of only hurting Bette more, hesitates, because she hates to pull so much of the pain to the surface. While she struggles to offer enough to satisfy Bette’s curiousity, Bette wants every detail. Wow, I’ve been in a similar situation, and all I’ll say is you really have written this brilliantly. It’s very true to life. If you cannot move forward with full honesty with one another, you will fail and you will crumble. Sometimes making that road smooth again, isn’t about finding the right detour, but rolling your sleeves up and putting alot of work into making the road you will travel together, safer, stroner, and more secure. Thanks Steph. Ready for the next one!!! : -)))

    16. Very good communication skills used in this scene. It could have gone in totally different direction but both allowed the other their own thoughts. That is a very good step in the right direction.

    17. Great chapter, I love that you are making these two actually face their demons, hard in the short term but it’s got to be benficial in the long term.
