    Author Notes:

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

    CHAPTER 19

     

    Tina sat on the end of the lounge chair, watching Bette’s graceful movements amidst the pale blue ripples.  She stood slowly and walked to the edge of the pool.  Still clinging to the soft, warm towel that had served as her shield, Tina lowered her body and sat on the concrete, dangling her legs into the warm water.  Although she marveled at Bette’s quick recovery from their intense discussion, Tina wasn’t sure she herself was ready to jump right back into the pool and pick up where they left off, literally or figuratively.

     

    A hundred thoughts clamored through her brain.  She knew she had never loved Helena, but still couldn’t shake the lasting impression of Helena kissing her neck, touching her, and ultimately making love to her in the pool all those months ago.  And though she tried to fight it, a question that had been nagging at her for months finally found its way to the forefront.  ‘What about Bette?  Had she been with anyone other than Candace while we were apart?’ Tina tried to force the thought from her mind as Bette called out from across the shimmering surface of the pool.

     

    “Baby, are you okay?”  Bette’s voice was calm and reassuring. 

     

    Tina felt like she had no right to question Bette about the people she might have been involved with during their separation.  When they had finally discussed Bette’s affair back at the hospital while Tina was recovering from her c-section, they had agreed not to discuss their respective involvements, at least not for awhile.  But now that they had finally started the discussion about Helena, Tina felt like she was ready…she didn’t really want to know, but felt like she needed to hear the truth.

     

    “I’m sorry, Babe.”  Tina tried to muster a small smile as she looked into her wife’s concerned eyes.  “I just…I need to ask you something.”  Tina paused, looking down at her toes as she wiggled them under the water.  “I was just wondering…when we were apart…was there anyone else?  Other than her.”  Tina’s voice wavered as she approached the end of her thought.  A single tear slid down Tina’s cheek.

     

    Bette moved her body quickly through the water, leaving a wake behind her as her arms and legs propelled her forward until she was standing in front of Tina.  Bette’s feet found the bottom of the pool as she placed her hands on Tina’s knees.  Bette immediately noticed the tear tracing a path down Tina’s cheek, and wiped it away gently with her thumb.  She left her fingers on Tina’s face, caressing the line of her jaw before entangling her fingers in Tina’s golden hair.  Bette reached her other hand beneath Tina’s chin, gently guiding her lover to look into her dark brown eyes.  Bette held her breath for a moment before answering Tina’s question.

    2. Steph, great as usual. I love to see them talking, even when it is about the tough stuff. The test of a relationship, is going through all those more challenging moments. This is one of them for both Bette and Tina. Opening up about who they have been with, what they were feeling, is something that shows their honesty and ability to take responsibility and now move forward into a more healthier place together. I love the way you write them. It’s too bad Ileine couldn’t have made it happen like this. Post Soon. : -)

    6. Wow…powerful chapter in that they put the truth out there, but the process is still not complete. I appreciate your efforts to fill in so many gaps –why each did the things they did. I truly think that, had this happened on the show, we wouldn’t be worrying about whether there would be a TiBette reunion at this point. This difficult communication is what they needed to do to get past all of this stuff. Thanks so much for your efforts with this!

    7. Talking about the hard stuff is really tough even though they need to talk about it. Hopefully they will get this out of the way without damaging the budiing reconnection they are now esxperiencing. They must remember the love they feel and how easily it is to lose it. Great post Steph as usual. Post when you can.
