“I’m sorry,” ‘Bev’ said quietly.
Laura snapped her hand back, sparing no detail as she slapped Leslie across the face. Leslie seemed stunned for a moment, but Laura pushed on. As Tina watched in front of her, the similarities between the scene playing out and the actual night ended there. What was now taking place was Bette’s re-interpretation of the scene, what she was comfortable being shown in ‘Lez Girls’. She struggled to blink back tears and watch objectively, yet it was beyond her control and she wiped one stray tear away from her cheek.
“How long?” “Nina’ asked.
“Not long.”
“I said how long,” ‘Nina’ demanded.
“I’ve only slept with her twice,” ‘Bev’ responded. “She kissed me when you were at The Dinah Shore weekend. I should have avoided her after the concert, but I was just trying to run away from what happened.”
Tina blinked back tears as the scene took on life before her. It was beginning to answer the questions that she had never asked. Instead of a moment resembling this one, the real confrontation had turned physical.
“What had happened?” “Nina’ practically screamed the question startling Kate. “So while I was at home packing up our son’s belongings, you were out partying with someone that clearly showed you she wanted more?”
“I went out to support ‘Kat’.”
“When you should have been home with me!” ‘Nina’ shot back. “Not only did you not mourn our son, but you didn’t even help me when I did! You blocked it all out in favor of your fucking ‘Provocations’ because that is what was most important to you!”
“It wasn’t more important to me than you or our son.”
“You have a funny way of showing that ‘Bev’. You fucking showed up late to our appointment when I found out I had miscarried. You were too busy facing that fucking monster Buckley to defend ‘Provocations’! Maybe if you would have been more family oriented, she wouldn’t have questioned your family values!”
“That was because we are lesbians,” ‘Bev’ said quietly. “Not because I wasn’t there.”
“You were never there ‘Bev’,” ‘Nina’ shouted, tears coming to Laura’s eyes. “I find it funny that you can’t find time to mourn our son or worry about me, but you can somehow miraculously find time to fuck the plumber!”

Damn, that was rough to read. Very sad. Very emotional. Bette needs to believe in her growth as a person.. hopefully Tina can help her with that part of it. I hope Tina finds her soon.. they need to talk it out.
Wow that was intense. Great as always.
DAMN!!!
how sad….this can’t keep happening…had tears in my eyes…………
I had a feeling that this chapter would end in tears. They need to talk and Tina needs to set Bette straight. Gumby get them to talk Bette can’t run.
That was so much better than the real show…so much more emotion…No credit to Jenny whatsoever!!!! Tks G, now, pls more
Wow! IC should take you into the fold..maybe there would be more talking to go along with the awesome sex. Thanks and pps
Hey Lady you really out did your self Very sad but yet so true At least Bette was as honest as she could be. She also know that she hurt Tina badly. thanks
Fuckin A!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW…thanks!!
poor bette!!!!!
God, Gumby. Such emotion and heartache. What an amazing way to rewrite that scene. I was wondering how that could be rewritten and am anxious to see if Ilene can handle the task as well as you. Truly brilliant.
WOWWWW!!!!!!! Gumby that was very moving and so painful. No wonder Bette was trying to keep her tears at bay when talking to Tina earlier. Please let Tina find her and let them talk about this once and for all. They desperately love each other but need to get the past out, talk about it and put it away and work on their future. They must do this. Poor Bette, Tina will have to do some tall talking to get Bette to see her point of view. But it is one she needs to hear and understand. You are the best at doing this, get them talking please. PPS
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I am in awe of u right now the ABS says u really do get us
this was brilliant…waiting for more and for tina to comfort bette soon
That was so intense and heart wrenching. Please have them talk and soon. Beautiful update as always. Thank you.
Damn it woman you made me cry!!!!! That was so Great!!!!! Thank you PPVS
Shit, will these two ever get on the same page? They love each other desperately…why are they so afraid to talk. Gumby you do a great job in your story showing this aspect of their relationship. They are so willing to sacrifice their relationship for the good of the other, yet so unwilling to pur their hearts out to each other. These two are breaking my heart!
okay Gumby you owe me a box of tissues … what a great chapter and like season 5 full of emotion plesae post soon need to read how Tina gets to Bette and wins her back
Gumby, you posted, woohoo!!! Poor Bette, her imagination is so much worse than reality. If that is the way she thinks Tina felt about everything, the miscarriage, her dad, etc, no wonder she is scared to death. I know Tina will come to the rescue. So Gumby, can you make this a perfect tibette week and post everyday? Just call in sick, I’m sure they’d understand–it is for a good cause :) thanks for the post
we are not worthy . seriously this is the greatest – God – wow – i bow to you G .
wow. moremoremoremore;-)
Heavy stuff, Gumby. Bette really beats herself up over everything bad in their relationship. Sometimes we treat those we love the most, horribly. You take them for granted because you know they will forgive you. Doesn’t make it right & I think the fact that Bette takes responsibility for treating Tina badly shows how much she has changed. PS.
My God it was really hard one to read and it certainly took a lot of you to write, but you have done a great job, wow you are full of surprises we are so hocked on this story Gamb, please post soon dear.With all my love
Perfect!
Bette wrote from the heart and now Tina is bleeding from the heart. Tina is trying desperately to reach the one person who holds the key to her life. I only hope that Tina can reach Bette and make her understand that it was both of them that failed each other. Very powerful chapter as well as emotional.
Wow! You can feel Bettes pain coming at you from the paga. Awesome……..
I just said to bettyvhall in my comments that theses cliffhangers were gonna be the death of me. I knew i was right when i said that you apart of certain group of writers that make these long work days melt away. Thanx again, Sweetie. Please Post Soon. PEACE.
oh drama drama drama but at last it’s out there for them both to see…hurry tina to kit’s and reclaim your woman b4 she cuts and runs…pps
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok i’m breathing tina needs to find her so they can talkthanks
Hey Gumby, That was truly shocking. Bette peeled away the layers of defenses she has and opened her heart and soul on the pages of this script. The scene hit home as all of Bette’s failings were vocalized and discussed between Bev and Nina. I felt Tina’s concern, understanding and distress at Bette’s confession. Now, the ball is in Tina’s court as she has to show and tell Bette the effect of all these regurgated emotions on Tina’s state of mind and heart. I do think that Tina needs to be face to face with Bette before they continue this discussion. Going through all of this trauma is difficult but so worthwhile as Bette and Tina have realized what they threw away, deal and close the past so that they can build a better future together. Gumby, my screen steamed up at the memory of the night before. Please continue your awesome adventure soon. Much gratitude and appreciation for this intellent and thought-provoking adventure. Your Loyal Fan.
This is one of the best I’ve read about “the scene” very well done. Thanks for sharing the story with us Gumby.
KD, sweet heart, finally I could catch up with your fic! YAY! Gee youre awesome, really! This chapter was something else! Love how youre writing Bette. I promise I’ll reply your mail soon and BTW, my other half gave me your Hi. ;) Take care! XX
Hey Ally!! I just read your comment. This story is great, no doubt about it and Gumby is awesome. But yours are great too and you are awesome too. Cant wait for your next post!
That tore me up. It is what Bette’s worst nightmare is that Tina blames her for everything and will never truly be able to forgive her. I am glad that Bette is with Kit, but I hope Tina can find her I really think it’s time they talked.
WOW so powerful!!! :) tina needs to go see bette don’t wait for bette to call her back..
What a fantastic chapter mate, and I can so totally see all of those things coming from Bette, she really is the sort of person to make herself suffer in that way. x
Wow. That was deep. So deep that I could feel the pain. Great writing Gumby! I know I should worry that Bette is cheating yet again, maybe a bit upset with her, maybe feel sorry for Jodi, but what can I say, this is B&T and they are so hot together I can’t help but jump in with both feet into the Tibette ship. Gosh I’m totally loving S5, I think it’s the best season yet. Just hope that after all that happened, when they get back together, Bette will realise where her heart truly lies and no more cheating. But remembering the senator scene in S3 gives me hope that Bette wont cheat on Tina again, no matter how bad things go and how secually deprived she is. Ooops, I’ve gone off topic. Wonderful story Gumby, please write some more and post soon. Cheers!
Damn this is deep and so emotional. Please post more, thanks!!!!
Gumby…wow…this…it was difficult to read, but you hit the nail on the head with Bette’s perception of why things happened and how she feels. You’re an amazing writer! Thanks for the update…hopefully we’ll see more soon!!
