She looked down at our daughter, still asleep in her arms, I saw her look at the clock, and then she turned, looking at me, her eyes seemingly searching mine…
“Hey…” I quietly said.
“Hi…”
“Do you feel okay…?”
She nodded, as she thought for a moment, she touched her ear, the ear I had been close to, whispering the reply to the words she had said herself, but I would be keeping that to myself, for now… her words and my reply…
“Can I make us some lunch…?” I asked her.
“Of course… can I help you?”
“Its okay, stay here and cuddle Angelica …” they looked so comfortable, and she should cuddle Angelica, they were catching up, she had missed so much of her short life already.
“Okay…, if you’re sure…”
“I’m sure…” I smiled at her, she had no idea, I had no idea, the myriad of thoughts going through my mind, I wasn’t sure anymore…
I stood and collect our cups; I look at her again, it felt surreal to be doing this, I never thought I would be doing this again…
“Do you want another coffee…?” I asked her.
“Could I have tea… please…?” she said hesitantly.
“Sure…” I stepped past her, on my way to the kitchen, but I stopped suddenly, her words earlier came into my mind, the words she had said and had not wanted a reply to, she had said ‘I miss you…’
I looked at her, she kissed the curls on Angelica’s head, her touch was so gentle, I saw her swallow…, that always meant that her emotions were near the surface.
“Bette…?” I said quietly.
“Yes T…?”
She didn’t look at me, I saw her clench her jaw, the word had obviously slipped out, her pet name for me came so easily.
“For the record…” I say.
She turned as she heard me speak, I had to say it, reply to her, let her know the reply I would of given her if she hadn’t of put her finger against my lips not more than fifteen minutes ago.

LOL@Jo! brb ;)
:)
This makes me so sad in a happy sort of way. They need to just keep going. Saying what they feel, whispering the words of love that only they understand. YOu know a kiss wouldn’t hurt.
Great chapter. Please post soon.
Dammit stop making me cry! =p
THis is such an emotional, reconnection for these two. Each chapter brings tears to my eyes….sweet, tender…absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Jo.
Great chapter! I wonder if Bette will throw up after eating..she is really in a bad shape. She needs lots of TLC from Tina. Post soon!
Wow…this story tugs at your heart strings. Thanks for Tina’s POV.
I love this story. Really can feel the emotions. Great writing.
you let me spechless! how can you write this amazing thing. They will be Ok because they have each other and angelica now.
I think that they are going to be okay also. It is going to take a lot of work on both parts but mostly from Tina. Bette will always love her, but now Tina needs to show Bette that it is safe for her to love again. For once it is Bette’s turn to have someone caress her and tell her it is going to be okay and then to know that she, Tina will be around more than just one day. Hopefully, love will conquer all.
i’m with coop, a gentle sweet kiss would not hurt right about now and then T should dial up some food…do not leave bette alone just yet…she needs T’s presence…love it…PPS
Jo…You should be in deep shit w/your GF. A talent such as yours. You should be writing sonnets the likes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. *grin* With this excruiating and abiding love they have for each other, how did they get mired in this morass. Remember how Peggy P. talked about those artists who could fuck like bunnies but also wrote achingly beautiful love letters to one another? What did Peggy say? Something to the effect that fucking w/o art is boring? I don’t remember exactly. That’s why you need to write love letters to your love.
great update as usual Jo……bring on another chappy….and…..much longer…..lol…..thanx
You write so well that its as if im there experiencing it for myself. Great update. I have been looking forward to every update since u first started it. Love it. Cant wait for the next. PPS
Guys, you’ve said it all. I really don’t know what else I could add. Besides, you left me pretty much speechless, Jo ( which is a big challenge that you’ve taken up since I’m usually such a chatterbox ! ). This chapter was simply beautiful, comme toujours. You never never disappoint us, Jo… And I’m almost certain you never will, unless you choose to write those dreadful words…The End. Thanks a lot for this wonderful chapter.
WOW!!!!
Damn this is sad!
Lovely! Was waiting for this episode! :) Post soon please!!!And for the record… I am totally with azmama Peggy Peabody: “Well, you know, all that fucking, with no art, is really rather dreary. ” hehehe
Brilliant….Bette really needs a lot of TLC and you’re just the woman to write that!!!
LOL@the love letter “issue”!… Great chapter! Gotta love this unconscious mutual declaration of love… Progress, progress… Hehehe… You, and you only, could go from the worst possible situation between these two and make it all better!… I’ve got to say though, that I also categorically refuse to relate this fic to “I thought…” and “Remember when…”. That’s just plain impossible for me! So, in my own twisted mind, I just make it that they happened to spend a nice WE in a hotel where they ate oysters and made love on a rose petals bed, but that’s as far as it goes for me… ;) I’m sorry, but to even consider that they could have fucked up so badly after everything that was realised, said, and shared in these two other fics is just too much to ask from me! ;) But that’s okay, it totally works for me that way! LOL! Thanks, Jo, you’re the best!
just a soft kiss to make it better jo
Oh, there’s hope… how wonderful! I hope they are brave enough to let their guards down and allow themselves to feel all the beautiful things they bring out in one another. And about the love letter thing… I thought this WAS a love letter? It sounds like one to me. Great chapter, Jo. Thanks.
absolutely beautiful!!! post soon :)
Another beautiful chapter! The way you put their emotions in to words is just so amazing! Thank you Jo… and you should be writing love letters or else you wouldnt be doing justice to your talent. LOL :))
I agree with coop, it’s all sad and happy at the same time and, of course, brilliantly written.
Off course, I (and I don’t think I stand alone ;) want them to be better then ok… But gosh what a way to start… Henry is instantly forgotten now that Tina is allowing herself to feel this emotional rollercoaster… Noone else could do it the way you do, Jo… Lovely as always!
Yep–what they all said! Fantastic update, Jo!
All still very intense, sad and emotional…but always with that little hint of hope…cause i think we all know that your going to make this alright..not easily but in the end!!they will be ok….So this chapter, as with all others was great, and a pleasure to read!..really good stuff.
