    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina work toward healing from the opening night of Provocations.

    “Take this for example,” Tina chuckled at how odd it was to be talking with Bette in the middle of the afternoon about a difficult subject.  “You’d never have taken off work to help me with something you disagree with, especially since it has to do with you sharing your feelings and us talking through some difficult things.”

    Bette saw Tina’s eyes glance back to the windows that protected their bedroom from the elements of the outside. 

    “Don’t look back in there and think what you’re thinking,” Bette said quickly. 

    She noticed Tina gulped down the last bit of scotch in her glass, and immediately got up to retrieve the bottle from the kitchen.  She smiled as she came back and saw Tina running her fingertip over the rim of the crystal glass.

    “That wasn’t half bad,” Tina chuckled.  “Just strange to have that burning in my stomach on a hot day.  I’m used to a cold Corona or fruity drink to keep cool.”

    Bette refilled their glasses and Tina licked her lips as she took another sip.

    “There were good times in that room too,” Bette said softly as she watched the sun reflect off the amber liquid in her glass before drinking half of it and wincing as it burned her throat traveling to her stomach. 

    “I know.”

    “You have to remember those too,” Bette pleaded.  “What happened that night, was not who we were.”

    “I kept telling myself that,” Tina said as she drank a large amount of her scotch, refilling her glass quickly.  “When I went to Alice’s house I just kept telling myself that what had happened was not who we were, that we were just caught up in what we were feeling, but I couldn’t shake the memory for a long time.”

    “It was burned in my mind too,” Bette said sadly.  “The next time we were in that room together, my father was dying, and I was just so desperate to sleep that we just cuddled in bed that night.  I’m not sure if you’ve made the connection, but we haven’t made love in that room since then.”

    Tina thought about it silently and nodded her head as she downed the rest of her drink.  Bette followed suit and realized, at that moment, that her head was beginning to spin.

    3. Thank you for this chapter. Now I have something to hold on to until tomorrow night…LOL! Oh, did I mention that this chapter is sizzling hot? But then again, it’s you we’re talking about so I’m not expecting anything less.

    10. Woah. Loved this one..and not just because it had a great sex scene in it. I really showed how much Bette had changed since S1.. in positive ways. Also, it showed Tina really acknowledging those changes. Their connection in this chapter was really beautiful. Thanks for helping us get through one more night. Hopefully we will have a rash of inspired writers for next week.

    13. Thank you, that was mind blowing beautiful chapter I loved it, thanks for taking the time to write such a one I hope everything turns out to be like you imagined it to be.LOVE

    14. Now that is true love. As I was reading this chapter it dawned on me that they had not made love in the bedroom since that night. Then as I continued to read you mentioned that issue. I am glad that they reconnected in their bedroom and were able to work through most of what had taken place that one night several years earlier. Awesome chapter.

    15. heyyyyyyyyyyy pokey..IM GUMBYYYY DAMMITTT!!LOL Thanks for your post, i need some guidance in this writing business…s you know how to reach me..as for Dr. Jaspercat..i might kill her off LMAO

    16. That was AMAZING! It was sizzling hot and loving! I am so happy that Bette and Tina have truly found a way to reconnect through all the terrible memories and not self-destruct. Bette is SHOWING Tina how truly important she is in Bette’s life and it is beautiful to read. I am looking forward to more.

    19. OH. MY. GOD. That was… I can’t find the word because right now, “awesome” seems like a gross understatement. I felt close to passing out just reading this chap. I really love the ending too, it’s so sweet and heartwarming. Thank you for posting this. I cant wait for tomorrow either. Hope you’ll post the next one soon.

    21. Thank you, Gumby, I love your stories..And thanks for NC chapter, really beautiful. I am also very excited, over-excited becouse of coming E06, and your fanfic will help me to survive )

    25. I love what Bette is doing for Tina…, you know in both senses ;o) Fab chapter and I too am sooo excited about seeing tonights episode (tomorrow) how very handy that I have a day off work to watch it downloading!

    26. as i tell you often you – you are an amazing talent – right up there with Seahurst and JKS and there can be no bigger compliment for me. good luck in everything you do sweetie — thanks for the last email. its not easy as we both know xx

    31. Wow Gumby, that was an awesomely beautiful and loving chapter. With Bette wanting to help Tina with the rewrite of the most tragic part of their breakup on the night of Provocations shows how much Bette has changed and how the still loves Tina so very much. They have managed to experience all the horrors a relationship or marriage could possibly and still manage to love each other beyond belief. You have portrayed those feelings most eloquently. Like everyone else I can hardly wait for tonight’s episode. I hope they don’t disappoint us. In your writings regarding “our girls,” you have never disappointed us. So happy that you love our girls but you also show the negative elements in a relationship but you never fail to show us how those things can be overcome with love, understanding, and respect for the other person which is so important. In short I loved this chapter and the story completely. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. PPS

    36. thank you so much for your wonderful writing. As I was reading this agian, after last nights epi, I was thinking of Alice’s statement, ..”sometimes love is not enough”. That can be true, but if you want to rebuild again, what is a better foundation to start with? I love how this comes through your story, yeah it will be hard, but they have a true and awesome love, that will get them through. When Tina asks to be f@#%ked, and Bette says no I’ll make love to you..to me that showed me, the true depth of their love. Thanks, you rock…PPS

    37. Hey Gumby, Wow wee Bow wee. I am stunned and entranced by these latest developments. Bette and Tina making new memories to extinguish the horrors of the past was so realistic and adorable. The passion between these gals is intense as the liqor freed them both of some of their earth inhibitions. There was real tenderness and love between them. The past cannot be forgotten but closure with its events may be acheived. This scene showed how. Gumby, your talent and gift for creating powerful moments was perfectly exhibited here. Thank you so much for this inspiring chapter. I so hope that this is the next step along the route to full reconciliation for my favorite couple. Bette and Tina so belong together. Many, many thanks for this delicious drama. Your Loyal Fan.
