Great Unexpectations Chapter 5
Tina slid under the sheet, while Bette took a light blanket out of the closet. "Bette, I’m ok. Really."
"Uh huh, sure. How much longer until Angie wakes up from her nap?"
"About an hour probably."
"Ok then", she said as she gently floated the blanket over Tina and lay down next to her spooning her from behind, gently rubbing her arm. She waited until Tina calmed down before asking, "Oh, God I really hate to ask you this Tina, but…are you pregnant?"
Tina shamed at the events of her recent past that necessitated that question. "No Bette. I promise you that. You don’t have to worry about that."
Bette breathed a sigh of relief. She would love any baby that Tina had, but the thought of a walking, talking reminder of Tina’s time with Henry was more than she could bear.
"Then what-"
"Bette. I’m so sorry for that stupid joke", she said desperately. " I didn’t mean it. Please don’t hate me." Tina turned to look at Bette with tears threatening.
Bette softened immediately."Tina? Is that why you got sick?"
Unable to respond, Tina could only nod. Bette saw the pain and fear in Tina’s face and was shaken. In her lifetime she’d only seen one other face that pained, and she had needed a mirror for that.
She smiled warmly. "T, I love you. I’ve waited too long for this to let a stupid joke come between us now. I’m not going anywhere. I’m the property of T Kennard, remember? But one thing. Let’s leave the smart ass comments to Alice from now on. Ok?"
Tina nodded as she half-laughed and half-cried. Bette swept her into her arms and hugged her tightly kissing her neck and cheek. Tina rested her head on Bette’s chest as her cries slowly subsided. Bette stroked her arm and hair urging her to "shh". In time Bette could feel the dead weight of Tina on her, evidence that she had finally fallen asleep.
Bette extricated herself from Tina’s clutches, careful not to wake the beautiful blonde. As she stood over the bed watching Tina sleep she whispered "God T. I love you so much." Bette leaned down to kiss her gently on the forehead and brush the hair out of her eyes. Tina stirred slightly but remained fast asleep.

First! Score :) But I’ve yet to read it, I’m sorry.. times are different since I’m in England :( I’m off to my room to pen a new fic. Can’t wait to read this :D Angel D xx
There is a God in heaven and if he will, please let our girls be okay. Love this story and the fact that they are getting back together as one, as it should be. They are so perfect for each other. Thanks for showing the love and the imperfections of we humans. In the end, it is indeed all about the love we share with that special someone. You show the imperfections but you also show the love they have, which is so important. Thanks for the story. PPS
I am glad you have them teing to talk. This is great. Tina writting on Bette with the sharpie that was just Great!!!
I love your writing..love the intimacy, the tenderness. Thank you.
That wet blanket IC really has cheated us out of good times, hasn’t she? That adorable family breakfast scene, and Tina’s sexy and funny handiwork with the Sharpie, are sublime examples of revisionist history (and not in the least corny). Please keep them coming!
Don’t worry about the stars you will get, if you have fun writing, we’ll have fun reading. Your style is fluid, good storyline and nice in depth description of their feelings and emotions, you got it! The Sharpie moment was priceless and the lightness of their banter reminds me of the good moments of season 1, what their life together could have been. Maybe after seeing Tina sick over a lame joke, Bette will realize that Tina is serious about this relationship. Great story, wish it would be the real season 5.
Hey Red another excellent post. You have to remove the ratings from your story because they are bogus. I don’t know how they are calculated, but they don’t make sense, so just ignore that and pay attention to the comments. You are extremely talented…your writing and your story rates off the chart. I can’t wait until your next post.
ok,i’ll put the binoculars away for now but can’t promise they will stay put. You write this couple with such tenderness,love and humor. Now that they have confronted their passion and stayed up all night praying about how they could overcome,I think they are willing to try and communicate. communication in all forms is GOOD! thnx for the update.
I loved this phrase “until the morning sun slowly trespassed into the room.” Great description. PPS.
I can’t explain the 4 stars… your writing is pure pleasure to read! I would love to see this played out in season 5. Ilene should take a tip from you! Perfect balance between the fun and the serious. The branding was too funny!!
Hey both of us, u for writing n me for reading lol. Excellent chapter just loved it. PPS
You had me all angsty for a minute there, thinking Tina was preggers. Thank goodness they dodged that bullet. Loved the use of the Sharpie. Excellent red, post soon.
I have no clue why I am always behind. Any rating below a 5 is just wrong. Somebody is messing with you. I am happy to read that they are talking even if it is making them (Tina) sick. That is the only true way to move forward.
Great update Red. I like how you re-focused them and got the conversation rolling. But I really love the branding – very funny! I’m a little behind in the game (commenting waaayyy after you posted) so I hope you see this!! Now on to read more.
I’m with rufus. How is it IC cannot or will not give us this. So glad they’re talking, they may hit some bumps on the way but its definitly a road worth traveling. Nice to see Bette letting Tina know it would take more than that to loose her.
I loved this post. You actually have me beieving IC could fix the mess she made of them—BUT she’d have to let them actually communicate, so I’m not holding my breath :). I’ll just have to soothe my TiBette heart by reading your beautiful words.
whoa scarey; that both tina and bette r scared of talking…sexy, funny and heavy tina heaving…tg she’s not pregnant to whats his name, that would be TOO YUK…
I’m craving an omelette now. Thanks. lol That was SO BAD of you to scare us with Tina possibly being pregnant! xD Loved the Sharpie joke. :)
So , where do I sent my $19.99? Do you take paypal? Honestly, this is a wonderful story.. love the banter, the sharpie, the comforting heart beating, and the quickly changing emotions to the point of making Tina physically ill. Would love to read more, I sure none of us would mind if you went ahead and posted Chap 6, and 7? even if we have to wait through short bloks later….Yes, hate the concept of delayed gratification, especially when it comes to Tibette.PPS!
Red, hope you don’t mind. I just want to acknowlege all the wonderful talent that is on this site. There is so much time, energy, passion and talent that you writers put into these stories. We all get to enjoy them for nothing other than the occasional applause or comment. Thank you for allowing us to share…
It’s good seeing them finally talk..but let them not do it properly and lovingly PPS…love the chapters
they have a lot to talk about but as long as they together, they can work it out
Oh god, that was beautiful :) I adore your writing, it’s so intimate and touching. I truly hope they work things out. :)
X-mas came early this year! GREAT!
Good chapter and good that they talk!
