What if things happened differently?
“Still, Bette. We ganged up on you when you cheated on her.” Jenny retorted, waving her popsicle like a deadly weapon. “You were almost charitable about her and Henry together.”
“I wasn’t as charitable as you thought I was.”
“Maybe. But you didn’t say anything during the basketball game.”
“I remember you being particularly talkative that day, Jenny. You slugged Tina on my behalf. Not that it wasn’t fulfilling, but you didn’t have to do that to her. I forgave her for that.”
“And you defended her when I was shooting her down. You defended her in front of me and my agents. You basically rallied for her to be entrusted with my book and the movie.”
“I know Tina. She’s a good person. She’s a good executive. She’s the mother of my child. How can I not defend her in front of you and your agents? It felt right to do so at the time. Bette replied, feeling the heat rise to her cheeks. “I know Tina well enough to tell anybody that life partner or not, she is a good person. She can be trusted. And I know she did a great job.”
“That she did.” Jenny replied solemnly. “Why didn’t you give Tina what she deserved?”
“Because I ruined seven years of our life together. I was still the worse offender.” Bette said, sighing on to her popsicle after licking it. “I feel I don’t deserve to have Tina back.”
“And I don’t deserve Shane.” Jenny muttered softly. “Or Niki.”
“You deserve to be happy, Jenny, we all do. Whether it’s with Shane or with Niki, I don’t know anything about that, but you deserve to be loved for who you are.”
“Thanks.”
Bette sighed before asking, “How long have you been in love with Shane?”
“I don’t know. I guess… I guess it started when I saw her and Shay together. She took care of Shay with every bit of her. She was miserable when Shay left and I just wanted to hold her. But I didn’t know what it was back then. You know, Shane was always there for me.”
“She was always there for all of us.”

Glad in the end it all worked out. I think it was smart to have Bette and Jenny talk. Thanks
It would be nice if some of this would happen during season 6. PPS
I thought during season 2 that Jenny and Bette were going to forge a good friendship, but it never really happened. It’s a pity it didn’t. This was a great read, blueskies, I hope you post something else soon. Thanks
Well done Blueskies. A most interesting talk between the two most unlikliest characters. Fantastic story!
That was a cute story. Bette would be good for Jenny. Hopefully Jenny and Shane can work out their issues. As for Bette and Tina, they both have messed up royally but the love is definitely there.
Sometimes its the ones that are further from the center of things that see it more clearly. Bette and Jenny have always been polar opposits, looking at each other from the outside, I think they were the perfect two to have this discussion. Glad to see all tina cared about was how Bette and Jenny were. They’ll make it I know they will.
That was such a cool post I’m glad everything turned out well. There was so much potential for disaster. I really enjoyed reading this.
That was great, love B&T!
