    Author Notes:

    Tina takes the necessary steps toward her future…

    “Tina,” Kate took a deep breath to settle her nerves.  “It is almost impossible for us to cast ‘Bev’ because you haven’t written her realistically.”

    “How have I not written Bette realistically?”

    “I’ll give you an example,” Kate flipped her old manuscript open to a page that had been dog-eared for ease of finding it.  “This scene when ‘Bev’ goes to New York for the showing of Provocations at Mona.  This is a person that worked herself to the bone and yet the moment something goes wrong at home, she hops on a plane to jet back home instead of honoring her commitment and being the guest of honor at a dinner being held for her by Peggy Peabody?”

    “I know it’s a contradiction, but that’s what really happened.  The baby and I were more important to Bette, no matter how hard she worked on her career.  She wanted a baby more than anything.”

    “What about this,” Kate said as she flipped to another page that was marked the same as the first.  “She is the Director of the CAC at the time, and she is going head to head with a religious activist over Provocations.  For someone that is so controlled with their emotions throughout, she certainly loses it over a sign being placed in her yard defaming her and labeling Provocations as pornography.  In a position like that, one wouldn’t be able to afford to lose their temper as she did in this scene.”

    “We had just lost our son,” Tina said through clenched teeth.  “I think Bette could be afforded a loss of control given the circumstances.  I was inside, sobbing, when they came to our house.”

    “You’ve put her on too high a pedestal,” Kate shot back.

    “I’ve portrayed an accurate picture of Bette,” Tina challenged.  “My job somehow turned into turning Jenny’s bullshit into a viable script, giving it life and truth where it lacked it.  I did that.”

    “You’ve allowed your perception and emotions to cloud your vision of Bette.”

    “Nobody knows Bette better than I do,” Tina shot back.  “She’s complicated, and she’ll never fit into a nice, easy box for you so that casting is easy.”

    “Then we might as well hang it up now unless Bette Porter wants to portray herself it the movie,” Kate replied sarcastically.

    2. What a great chapter, Gumby. It shows so much of this relationship: the willingness to change, to see change in another. To fall in love over and over again with the same person is real if we allow ourselves to look forward and not back. Thanks for this chapter. Lin

    9. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Yes, yes, please SHOW US SOON why Tina’s not available to Kate anymore. I have a feeling the next chapter will radiate the thermometer-busting heat of THE KISS in episode 504. Thanks for this great update, Gumby! PPS

    13. It so hard to fall in love with someone completely.sometime it takes yrs. Falling out of love is harder.you find yourself loving this person more and more as each day goes by. It hard to try to share your heart with some else when another person has the whole heart. Love this story. thanks

    14. Whoo-hoo! I love it! Tina telling Kate off about wanting to put Bette into a box and then telling her she wasn’t available. And Tina going to Bette and letting her know that Kate wasn’t in the picture was perfect. I am eagerly awaiting more!

    15. This update made me want to scream.. in a ridiculously good way. This was the update I’ve been waiting for.. for Tina to realize the changes that Bette has made. To see her stand up to Kate. I can’t believe you cut it off at the kiss juncture. I want to see them date slowly, do everything right this time. I would LOVE some family scenes. Yay to Tina! (Finally).

    16. YOU STOPPED THERE??? I feel like i’m repeating myself to you! OK…Please please please post some more!! I think Kate needs her ass handed to her. I figured that as soon as she saw Tina’s feelings for what they are she would turn to a bitch!!

    21. Oh Gumby, that was a wonderful chapter. So happy that Tina told Kate she is not available to her and that she does not know a rat’s ass about Bette and her feelings about things and why she does certain things. I love when Tina gets mad and starts talking through her teeth, you just know that the fire is about to erupt. She is so darned sexy when she gets like that, LOVE IT. So happy that Tina got her act together and told Bette how she felt. she had me a little worried that she might turn to Kate and I hoped that she would not. Should have known you would not let that happen. You love our girls too. PPS

    30. Hello Gumby, I love how passionate Tina and Bette both are… Tina for her love… not just for Bette but for her Love… she has such an incredible understanding of her own need and desire for Love and she realizes that this love belongs to someone… to Bette. No matter how much time or distance comes between them… she realizes they will always be connected through love… and that is something I think Tina lost sight of… but as she started to regain her sense of identity she started to realize that you can’t give away something that doesn’t belong to her… her love… her heart… her soul. I think Bette has realized just how important her passion is… when she was at the CAC she had to put her own passions on hold… she had to skip through hopes and try to impress others while all the time she only needed to impress herself and in doing so she would impress Tina. I think this is the thread that caused these two souls to wander away from one another… they lost their passion not only for each other, but for themselves… and their lives. This was so very powerful and vibrant. Sincerely, JC

    33. I’ll settle for the implied kiss, but can we have the real action next time ? :) I’s great to see both B&T making thought out and honest desicions instead of playing games and possibly hurting others in the process. Thanks Strechy Arms

    34. Awww…Tina sat in that art class while she was awed by the love of her life. To watch that one person that captures your heart as they work and to fall in love a little bit more with them, is the kind of love that should be celebrated not ignored. I think it’s safe to say that Tina is not available to date & not available to share her heart with anybody but Bette Porter. PS.
