HOPE ALONE – Chapter 25
“It doesn’t have to be,” Tina crossed the distance between them and laid her hands on Bette’s arms that were folded over her chest. “We can’t move on unless we work through what happened, at least that night.”
“I thought we did that when we rewrote it?”
“No, you rewrote it while I slept, and from what I can tell did nothing but blame yourself for us falling apart.”
“Aren’t I to blame?” Bette shot back blinking back tears. “I’m the one that cheated with Candace.”
“That didn’t happen overnight,” Tina said working to overcome her insecurity of being confronted with the answers to each question she dared not asked when she discovered the affair. “I didn’t know you met her at the bar that night of Kit’s concert.”
“I didn’t mention it.”
“I never asked,” Tina said as she yanked Bette’s arm toward the chaise lounge chairs outside.
Tina sat in one, spreading her legs, and urging Bette to sit between them and lean back into Tina’s warm body. When Bette complied, Tina immediately wrapped her arms around Bette’s body to offer her some support for the difficult discussion ahead of them.
“I never asked because I was so wrapped up in my own life I forgot about your life,” Tina said sadly.
“You had just lost the baby…”
“We,” Tina corrected her sternly. “We had just lost the baby, you were his mother too.”
Bette sat in silence, pondering that statement, forcing Tina to carry the conversation.
“Why did you invite her to bid on Provocations when you knew she wanted more from you?”
“I don’t know,” Bette admitted softly. “I knew that I had an interest, she was so different from you or anything that I had known. I thought I could control it but still experience the rush from having her near.”
Bette swallowed as tears fell from her eyes, not wanting to discuss something that would obviously hurt both of them.
“The scene,” Tina pushed forward swallowing the lump in her throat. “What you wrote, about her kissing you when I went to the Dinah Shore weekend with the girls…”
Bette’s postured changed as she remembered the overwhelming feeling of guilt at mistaking Tina for Candace the day Tina arrived back home and surprised Bette in her office.

oh yes, Thank you Gumby, just beautiful the way you are playing this out
Always a pleasure to read an offering from your lovely and creative imagination.
WOW!!!! Just wonderful!!!! I so hope IC takes them down this road. Thanks PPVS
OH OH OH OHHHHHHHHHH I LIKE ITTTTTT IM GUMBYYYYYYYYYYYYY dammit LOL
“We don’t have to be lonely anymore,” – ’cause we’ve got Gumby!… ;-)
This is such a brilliant story and it just keeps getting better and better. I fear I.C. will not do it as well as you Gumby. Can’t wait until your next update!
another great chapter. it’s funny how Tina actually wins the bitch of the decade award once their crimes are listed – i dont know if i am the only one who often forgets?the pregnancy hiding alone seems so harsh.and not wanting to be intimate with bette makes her look stupid in addition to being mean:-) anyways PPS
Double wow… glad tina finally speaks up! :)
I bet the cool water just added steam to the already blazing emotions that were running wild. Tina is correct in how they are progressing forward.
Gumby….great chapter.
bravo, bravo, encore,cncore, like now would be good Grmby, this is a very haartwarming story. Md
well said…
STILL LOVING IT……….omg……wow..can’t wait til next post…soon???
Hey Gumby, great update!! Love your story. I don’t always leave a comment behind but always reading your fanfictions!! So hope to see you post soon!!
Damn..you make it all hot and beautiful at the same time. Now if we could just get an episode like this….IC needs to give B & T as much time as she gave Turkish Oil Wrestling.
Beautiful! I love that Tina took charge and led Bette to a conversation towards healing their past.
**rubbing my eyes in disbelief***Is that communication that I’m reading here on this page? Why I do believe these two are talking about the past and moving on to the future. Huh…there’s an interesting concept. **shouting at the top of my lungs**** “Hey IC! You could try to write dialogue in the show that might show B&T as two intelligent adults instead of two cheating horn dogs, like my friend Gumby just did in this chapter.” Ahhh….never mind. She would just f*ck it all up. Thanks Gumby, for your beautiful words and for the visual of Bette in a wet, white shirt. WOW! Now, let’s seal that future with a kiss and if you have any other thoughts on what you would like to see Tina do with a very, wet Bette….please feel free to write those thoughts down in the next chappy as well. LOL! PS.
I really liking this, I love the changes in both of them. thanks
Gumby, great update. Thank you so much for letting them talk and HEAR what the other is saying and not clam up and walk off or just not continue to talk. They have needed this for so long. They are understanding that both are to blame for the demise of their relationship and admitting their own cupability is so important. Having Tina make Bette understand that she will not leave her under any circumstances was just awesome. Bette needs to understand that Tina is hers now, First, Last and most certainly Forever. Loved it. PPS
This is just brilliant another wonderful chapter reaally loving how they are communicating there thoughts and feelings, post again soon.
Thank you Gumby for the brilliant update….always a pleasure to read your stories.
Wow Gumby, you are wonderful and I love how your mind works, this is what we all want to happen on the show, this story is really a kind of alternative of what might not happen there, thank you so much for this and so much more.Have a great week.
Loved it!

the answer to the last line is YES ;)
