I saw her pale suddenly, it was the same palour that painted her face last night by the pool, when she had told me that I had no idea how it felt not to be able to see Angelica, that was when she had fainted before my eyes.
“Are you okay…?”
She shook her head at my words, her emotions displaying themselves upon her face, the disbelief, her annoyance, but why would she be annoyed at me wanting to get Angelica some clothes, get us something to eat.
“I can’t… believe you can ask that…”
“What? That you are okay?”
“Do you actually know what I’ve been through these last weeks Tina? No… actually don’t answer that…”
“Bette… I just need to pop out for an hour so I can get a change of clothes for Angelica, I’ll come back so we can go to the park…”
“How do I know that?”
“What?” I asked her incredulously.
“What… if you don’t come back…”
I stood and walked toward her, I got it, stupidly not at first, but I did now, she was afraid we wouldn’t come back, just like I wouldn’t answer her calls for all those weeks, just like I wouldn’t allow her to see her daughter for those seven weeks, I smiled at her as the clarity of the moments and her panic sank into my mind, I had already promised her that I would not to take Angelica away from her again, I thought she had believed me, but there was a lot of work that I had to do in order for her to trust me, I knew that and I would hope that she would start, maybe today was going to be the start of many things, and one of those was that I had to get her to trust me.
I knew I had no right to ask it of her, given the past eight weeks, she could throw it all back in my face and I would deserve it, but we had to start somewhere, I hoped she would see that we would have to start somewhere too.

OOOOo you have to post again realll soon…..i cant wait much longer for updates on this fic….it is awesome……
One minute in B&T heaven with your other chapter and then this….mess!!! But I trust you, like I know Bette one day will trust T again :o)) Can you make 3 in one day???….No right, the boss is home LOL. Happy New Year sweetie :o))
wow..I can’t help it… but I have to say this…is Tina that dense??? She coulda just started by saying she had to go but she’d leave Angel…I mean Bette’s devastation is staring her in the friggin face…sorreee but!!!
… or even better, Rau… why not forget about the change of clothes, have some food delivered, and spend the day right there with Bette and Angel. *sigh* Tina… sometimes you don’t see what’s right in front of you. Jo… lovely as always…
Wait! I’m confused. Does Britain celebrate New Year’s a week after we in the new world? Does Angelica or Bette in any way resemble a green man? Oooohhh, the premier of the L Word a week into January! Oooohhh, Bette and Angelica resemble each other. I get it! Phew! Glad I figured that out. But you’re right of course Jo, a girl can dream, and SHOULD.
Wow Jo…another post. They have to be able to get that trust back. In a way if I was Tina I would be skeptical to leave Angelica there…since Bette is still weak and prone to fainting. Bette is so broken that it’s hard to see that Tina is being sincere…Jo you have your work cut out for you to get them to a place of love and trust. What about Henry? Isn’t he gonna object to Tina spending the night over Bette’s? Cause I am sure Tina isn’t gonna just drop Angelica off for the night.
those two will need some time to fix things but i ca see that they already started so i have hopes for the best for them
they are doing great and in the name of love they will find the way to be together i hope so. Happy new year!
WHY didnt Tina tell Bette I’m going to get Angie some clothes and some food and be back in an hour. You can keep her her and I will return with the stuff. Love it when Tina needs to eat a little crow. thanks
We need to see and read The Tina Kennard Redemption. Bette is always suffering but Tina not so much. Always well written. Thank you.
Azmama, as one author wrote: When Bette fucks up, she made to suffer. When Tina fucks up, Bette’s made to suffer. LMAO. I’m leaving it to Jo to make Tina a wiser person because it’s not going to happen on the show.
There is something that grabs my heart about this story and Linbooks’ Chiaroscuro. It tears up my insides to know that Bette is coming apart and only one person can make that pain go away. It may never go away totally but some bandaids and stitches my help save what is left and promote healing. Something that Bette said that it is not only Angelica that she wants to stay with her but Tina also. When Tina said she would be back after telling Bette that she would allow her to stay the night, Bette said something about an hour only. That leads me to believe that not only does she want Angelica in her life but Tina also. It would be nice if while Tina was away collecting Angelica’s things that she also collected some of her own and more than just a nights worth.
pms
Good chapter. B&T need to talk more and work thing out and be a family again. Hope Tina will dump henry soon. OK post soon please, thanks! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!
Well a complete contrast to “Do you remember”…i hate to see Bette so vunerable..but im pretty sure you do to!!!!…and i know for all the heartache your putting her through in this story…there is definitly a healing process in the air, im glad Tina is leaving Angie with her…shows a little trust..So thats a start!
Jo I stuck to this story PPS!
So the writing ban has been lifted and we get all the benefit. I love this story, it’s so bittersweet.
Why do I have the feeling this will be the longest hour? lol
Yeah…what a contrast! Guess you’re taking a page from IC & Co. on how to add “unnecessary drama”–you’ve already got plenty here! I understand sky’s concern about Bette’s frail state and how it might not be a good idea to leave Angie there alone, even for an hour. But I know you’re gonna work it out because you don’t want to inflict any more pain on Bette–or your readers! Thanks for a great start to the new year, and PPS!
I hope you post more and more while S4 is ongoing….I’m sure we will need B & T in fanfic
I’m so behind on stories, and I was happily clicking ‘Next Post By Author’ only to find… dun dun dun… there wasn’t one!!! I love this story, and I’m glad to see Tina truly making strides to assure Bette she trusts her… step in the right direction, anyway.
