Great Unexpectations Chapter 3
In this world, if you read the papers darling/ Everybody’s fighting on with each other./ You’ve got no one you can count on babe,/ Not even your own brother./ So if someone comes along,/ They wanna give you some love and affection./ I’d say get it while you can./ Don’t turn your back on love./ Don’t you know, when you’re loving anybody baby,/ You’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow./ But then who cares baby,/ ‘Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no./ And if anybody should come along,/ They’re gonna give you some love and affection,/ I’d say get it while you can./ Don’t you turn your back on love./ No no no no no.
{"Get It While You Can" (Abridged)}
{Janis Joplin.}
Thirty minutes later, as Tina was putting the finishing touches on dinner, Bette began setting the table. Two adult settings and one high chair. This would be the first time they had dined as a family in a long while. Despite the tension in the room Bette was thrilled to have this moment. She re-joined her daughter on the floor and resumed playing with her. Tina stepped out of the kitchen to announce that dinner was ready but stopped herself so that she could watch the scene play out before her. Seeing Bette with Angie this way melted her heart. She walked slowly trying not to disturb them. As she neared Bette she gently rested her hand on her shoulder, bent down to kiss the top of her head, and whispered "dinner is ready". Bette savored the shivers as she gathered Angie up in her arms and, holding Tina’s hand, walked to the table. After they had secured her in her highchair they sat down to a fine dinner. It was sprinkled with lively bits of conversation that mostly revolved around what part of her body Angie had smothered her pasta sauce. They giggled as their daughter basked in the attention given by both parents.
After dinner they agreed that the first order of business should be giving Angie a bath. Tina ran the bath water as Bette carefully undressed her, careful not to transfer Angie’s mess onto her own clothing. Tina laughed as she heard Bette ask in awe, "How in the world did you get it on your foot, Boo?" They carefully went through the routine of cleaning her from top to bottom. ‘Just like at a carwash’, Tina had told her once. They both looked on and smiled as she splashed and played with the bubbles. After she had been sufficiently cleaned Bette lifted her out of the bath, wrapped her in a soft towel and held her tight. She loved the smell of Angie’s hair after a bath.

Weeeeeeeeee! (Sorry, just woke up. No energy for more words).
“Bette followed Tina’s glance and found the dish cloth, full of betrayal that it was, looking up at her smugly.” I love your writing!! Please continue soon!
I bet Tina thinks this is about Jodi instead of Henry. Bette should talk to her and tell her what is bothering her! PPS
How many cold showers must they endure? The slow build makes total sense given all their baggage (Henry!), but in the end they should heed Janis’s advice.
I like you story very much. Just went back and read everything. PPS
Hey Red great post! I think Tina knows what’s going on with Bette. Bette shouldn’t be afraid to tell Tina what’s going on, and Tina shouldn’t shut down on Bette. They have to be able to talk to each other about their fears and other bad feelings as well as their good feelings. I loved your take off of Willow and Tara’s conversation (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) there at the end Red! Sweet! I’m lovin’ it! More please!
Where I merely have heard this before?… oh yes, Tara sends her greetings!
awesome chappy…please continue this soon…..i love it……
well u left us hanging with the invitation to kiss…u nasty…pps
Hack right on through that Gordian knot, Bette. You go, girl! Excellent chapter, red, please post more soon.
Yeah, that Henry thing would be difficult to hack through. Bette never doubted her own sexuality as an adult. She’s nervous that Tina will have another itch? PPS.
Great chapters…:clap: : clap:PPS
It feels right that they would have to rebuild their relationship slowly to be solid again, and learn to be together again. And I love to read your description of this seduction game, it’s slow sweet torture, it’s pleasure!
bette was right, they both went through a lot and tina also needs to forget a lot, so maybe skipping it and go back to kissing is the best idea, they can talk between kisses
What great story, glad I caught up with it! I can really see this happening next season for our girls-hopefully! Please post soon.
You stole Tara’s lines!
Awesome!
