    Forged in Fire: Chapter 24

    Bette cradled Tina’s cheek in her hand. “I want to spend the rest of my life with you because I love you and need you with me. Baby, why do you think I’m here with you? I could have stayed home. We could video chat. But that isn’t enough for me. I want to be with you every night. I love feeling you beside me in bed. I love waking up to you in the morning.”

    Tina nodded. “I love waking up to you, too. I know how you feel. I’m sorry, Bette.”

    “No, don’t be sorry. I’m glad you told me how you were feeling. Our relationship will grow and mature. But I don’t want to wait to marry you. I want us to grow and mature together. You’re like my right hand, Tina.”

    Tina’s breath trembled. “I love you so much. I can’t wait to marry you,” she said.

    “Good.”

    “Do you think people will give us a hard time? Will they think it’s too soon?” asked Tina.

    Bette grinned at her. “I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks. I want to marry you, T.”

    Tina smiled at her. “Really?”

    “Really. Can I tell you something?”

    “You know you can.”

    “I have this really strong desire to call you my wife. You’re already my partner, T. I just really want you to be my wife. I want it official. I want you to be the one to make the decisions for me when I can’t. I trust you with my life. So, no…I don’t give a shit what anyone thinks regarding the timing of our engagement. Our relationship is what matters to me,” said Bette.

    Tina let those words wind around her. They slipped inside and squeezed more love from her heart. “I know it’s crazy, Bette. But I wanted to marry you six months ago. That day I came to your house and we made love. I knew it then. I told you I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I meant it.”

    Bette smiled at her. “People say many things when the sex-endorphins hit.”

    Tina shook her head. “It wasn’t the sex, Bette. It was you.”

    “How could you know?”

    “Because I knew what I needed. I knew what I’d had. Remember Bette, this will be my third marriage. Add Emma to that and I’ll tell you…I knew what I wanted. You were it.”

    1. Thank you for this chapter!

      And i like throwback to the original story – of course Bette you would be dating if you met in college, we already know that) And in other universe i believe they still dating

    2. Ahh, i forgot to ask about something – in this timeline Bette first approach this Tina because she remember her Tina from 86. But now she forgot about another student Tina – so why she thing she fallen for this Tina – it’s just love in first sight she think?

    3. Beautiful Chapter….. I like that Tina has resolved why she got angry over the Davis Shah incident and that she has been assured from Bette that she has no specific role in this partnership soon to be marriage. I’m afraid that she would be somewhat limiting herself if she really thinks that her primary role is that of protector. Her primary role is partner which includes all roles as needed or requested. Same for Bette.

      I am liking these two a couple a lot better than I did when the transition occurred. They have grown – they are kinder to people, more considerate of each other, more loving, and just plain wiser. Of course, they have been a through a lot of trauma and survived and moved forward. I think they ready for marriage. But they need to talk about children at some point. I hope they are on the same page with that…

      Thankyou for another lovely chapter…

    4. Thanks for posting, MTS.

      Well done, Tina, to tell Bette about your insecurity about your role in the relationship. That way she learnt that Bette loves her for being herself. Very heartfelt moment. Now Tina has to reveal what the interview is all about. Hence the fear of Bette leaving her because of her father?

      Nice detail with Bette’s reminiscence of her college time. The universe was probably smiling when she pondered on the ‘what if she met T at college?’. Yes, Bette, you would have fallen in love with Tina at college. In fact, in another time and place your soul found its mate in Tina early in your life. I’d like to think that a part of her soul still remembers her journey through time (and dimensions?) even if she doesn’t anymore.

      Their sexual want for each other is out of this world. The vibration thing? A tongue vibrator? Can’t wait when Tina finds out :-D

      Wonderful chapter to celebrate T + B’s engagement.

      Enjoy your weekend
