Judge Russell look to Jack who himself is trying to figure out what’s going on rapidly agrees. "OK it’s a little early but let’s recess for lunch. Court is now adjourned until 2 PM."
With that the Judge exits the courtroom shaking his head. The judge had not even left the courtroom before Jason turned on his heal and looked straight to Helena. "You" he yelled. "We need to get to my office immediately."
Moving forward he grabbed Helena by the wrist with no intention of letting her go until they were both securely in his car and on the way to his office.
As Helena was led away by Jason she keeps her eyes fixed on Bette. Cursing at her for all she was worth "You selfish, self absorbed, lying BITCH!"
Bette stepped down from the witness stand, passing Jack as if he wasn’t even standing there went right up to Tina with all speed. Three steps away from her Bette slowed down trying to read her expression but not able to. "Tina please let me explain. We need to get out of here. Somewhere alone … where I can explain. Please Tina." Bette pleaded to Tina watching the play of emotions cross Tina’s face. She could see wonder, anger, confusion as Tina tried to process what she had heard.
Jack had moved up behind Bette, he realized that something was not right but still couldn’t put his finger on it. Hearing Bette’s plea he knew that was something he could help with. "Hey you two let me find you a conference room that you can talk privately in. Just give me a minute."
Jack quickly gathered his belongings and encourages Tina and Bette to do the same as he walks them out of the courtroom in search of a vacant conference room. Down the hall off to the left was such a room, a place where attorneys can confer with their clients. It wasn’t very fancy but it had what Tina and Bette needed right now and that was privacy.
When they were finally alone Bette once again began her ramble "Tina you need to understand please. I was there. I couldn’t stay away. I .." but she is stopped by Tina putting her hand up to silence Bette.

OK ive waited so long for that and YES YES YES it was so worth it,right now i dont really care about Helena tho i know its a huge part of the story!!! i think youve done an amazeing job with not just this chapter but this whole complicated intense story…Excuse me now but im going to go back and read it again…sigh!
Ah, Helena gets a royal kick in the behind and Bette & Tina are complete, I like that just fine! Great Peggy P.
Finally, the last secret is out, great how you got Helena out of the courtroom, is Helena going to prison, dying to find out what happens.
Yes!!!!!! I knew it!! I knew it!!I knew it!! I remembered that Bette was in there during the delivery! Hahahaha! Now, deal with THAT Helena! Ha!Great update! I am doing my happy dance! OUTSTANDING!
I really wanted to comment earlier about how Tina will be when she finds out that Bette was there and Bette didn’t tell her. I was hoping that you will write a compassionate and understanding Tina (of Bette’s promise to Dr. Wilson) but I didn’t want to influence you; but my gut feeling told me that you will write this chapter as you did. It is definetly not too long. I think Helena finally realizes the consequences of her actions. I wonder if Peggy will have the resources/power to get Helena out of this one. Thanks for double posting today. btw: my team is losing! Boo.Thanks. Many many Thanks!
Ah… SHSL & SST are complete, magic.
Now the circle is complete. No gapping holes. The strength of their love is a fortress against all those that would attempt to come between them. A ring of fire that purifies that perfect love. Jwet, this has been an incredible journey you have allowed us to take. I shudder to think that you almost gave up on it. Thank you for hanging in there as we all are so much richer because you did.
for me this chapter is an equivalent for “omg…omfg..” scene. it was so worth waiting! I love how you wrote it, thanks so much J!
Oh my god you are a master at this, if I could have one wish in this world it would be that you could write a book no a series of books on Bette and Tina as I would read them and read them and read them. Magical, trulely magical
Awesome. I’ve been so anxious for Tina to find out and you did a superb job. Was absolutely perfect. Looking forward to the next chapter.
aaahhhhhh!
Ahhhhh…big sigh…big goofy grin!! But, could someone please tell me what SHSL and SST stand for?? Thanks J…this was perfect!!!
Awww… That was just WONDERFUL!! Simply WONDERFUL!! Me = Very happy!! Thanks, great chapter!
Brilliant!!!
Brilliant!!!
I don’t know you do it: write 150+ chapters that are so well integrated and complex but it all makes sense and is so logical. Wonderful!
YEAH!!! YEAH!! YEAH!!That was amazing, Jwet You are one of the few writers that melt this frozen heart..:PKeep posting…!!
this was perfect…thank you
not far off from taking your bow..and letting us throw you flowers. 159 chapters and with your writing…I could read 150 more. They are complete. thank you
How can you be angry with someone that loves you that much? Helena will look good in Jail house orange. It a shame that Peggy has to go throught this. She has always done so much for so many. Helena didnt know that Bette knew that the nurse was holding Tina hand. She is a wicked human bit of s**t. thanks
I loved Tina’s reaction, her understanding. There is so much love between them. What a way to reveal the secret. I thought Jack was going somewhere with his question to Bette about the authenticity of the photos and then boom, there it was. Good job, J. Now, on to the finale too see what Helena gets!! Thanks again.
Oh my gosh you know how into this part of the story I have been – amazing, simply amazing :)!
Excellent!!! This story is phenomonal abd beautifully written. I have enjoyed it so much and i will be sad to see it go. However I believe you have taken the story as far as it could go. I hope this is not the last I read from you..maybe a B&T beginning with a twist?!? until then I will be rereading your other story(the title just left my mind. Can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
This is the one I’ve been waiting for and it was perfect. Bette deserved a private moment to tell Tina she witnessed their child’s birth and you found a wonderful way to do it. Thank you for kicking Helena to the curb in a way that she couldn’t be rescued by money. Now I’m ready to say goodbye to this masterfully written story. You’ve earned a rest and I’ll be here patiently awaiting whatever you write.
*sniff sniff* another great chapter!!! I’m so glad the Bette told Tina. *sigh* keep writing. I’ll be reading.
I figured the secret would eventually be told through the pictures – never guessed on the witness stand…I LOVED IT!! I’ve been waiting SO long for Tina to find out…such beautiful torture, J.
Excellent excellent excellent. This is unfuckingbelievable, when Bette say the nurse that was holding Tina’s hand, I gasp and shock that she did say it out loud in court and happy that Tina know, they are talk and everything good now. This is awesome and about Helena is funny and love to see every step she going down, Peggy is good. Now let see what’s next, thanks!
Wonderful!
OK now I can breathe. My lil’ happy dance has been cocked and ready to go for a very long time. For a story that at one point I thought would only go in one direction. You have taken us on so many adventures since I first started reading From Afar. Thank you for your wonderful friendship and all the fun I had when you allowed me to share and be a part of this. GR8 Minds think alike. :) I cannot beleive the wonderful friendship I now have with you thanks to this web site and your story catching my heart from the very first. I hate to say it but, how in the world do you ever out do this story. It had everything and I will always love it. Thank you so much my friend for sharing. TK
OMG! That was a brilliant way to reveal that Bette was there. Only Tina, Bette and the HellBitch knew. Heh. I love this story and am sorry it is coming to an end but look forward to your next story *wink, wink* Great job!
I am going to cry that was so sweet!
