    Author Notes:

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

     

    “Would you rather be with her, Tee?  Is that what would make you happy?”  Bette spoke softly now, tears beginning to form in her eyes.  Tina flattened her palms against the concrete, lifting her body from the pool in one smooth motion.  Water trailed down her creamy skin as she knelt down at Bette’s side, taking Bette’s right hand in her own.

     

    “No, Babe, I wouldn’t rather be with Helena.  I never really wanted to be with Helena to begin with, it just happened.”  Tina waited, hoping her words were sinking in.

     

    “So then why were you thinking about her now?”  Bette asked, the crack in her voice betraying her attempts to conceal her pain.

     

    “It’s complicated, Baby.  We’ve never talked about the things that happened between Helena and me.  You never wanted to know.”  Tina sighed softly.  “Do you want to hear about it now?”

     

    “I’m not sure I really have a choice.  I don’t think you can tell me anything that’s worse than what I’m already imagining.”  Bette shook her head as though she were trying to shake an image from her mind.  She lowered her eyes, unable to look at Tina as she braced for impact.  Bette didn’t want to know what happened between Tina and Helena, and certainly dreaded hearing the details.  But her imagination was already in overdrive, and she needed to understand why Tina was thinking of Helena at the most inopportune of times.

     

    “Okay, then I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”  Tina closed her eyes momentarily, knowing that none of this would be easy, for either of them.

     

    “Well, right at the moment, I want to know what it was that caused you to think of her when I was kissing you.  That would be a good place to start.”  There was an edge in Bette’s voice that Tina couldn’t ever recall hearing before.  Tina found Bette’s sudden unfamiliarity quite unnerving.  Tina stood up slowly, releasing her grip on Bette’s hand.  She walked to the other end of the pool to retrieve a towel, wrapping herself in the warmth, secretly hoping the towel would serve as a shield against the wrath she was about to face. 

     

    Tina pulled up another lounge chair close to Bette’s, and sat facing her, ready to meet her eyes if she became willing.  She crossed her legs under her, leaning her elbows on her knees, her hands folded in her lap, as she began to relive her first night with Helena.

    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.
