    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina finally talk about their past…

    “Why didn’t you tell me that she had kissed you then?”

    “How could I have done that?” Bette asked softly.  “You were just getting back on your feet, we hadn’t been together the entire weekend, and when you actually wrapped your arms around me and kissed me I thought everything was going to be ok.”

    “I just wanted to crawl into bed with you,” Tina remembered her words perfectly.  “Yet I didn’t did I?”

    “No,” Bette swallowed hard.  “But I didn’t force it because I was working late.”

    “To get ready for the show or to have Candace’s attention?”

    Bette’s silence answered Tina’s question perfectly.  Tina read Bette’s silence to mean both options were motivations behind Bette’s erratic work schedule preceding Provocations.

    “I’m sorry,” Tina said as she wiped her tears.  “You should have asked me to spend some time with you.”

    “I did, just not directly, for a long time before then.”

    “When?”  Tina pressed Bette from more information.

    “When I came home early from work and you had to go exercise,” Bette said sadly.  “When I asked you to come to Kit’s concert, or when I tried to talk to you when you were at that weekend party and we could never connect.”

    “It was the last straw for you wasn’t it?” Tina asked not shying away from her responsibility in the destruction of their relationship.  “That I couldn’t hear you when it was so important that I did, given she was working with you that weekend.”

    Bette and Tina sat in silence, both staring at the sun’s glare off the crystal blue pool water.

    “You practically unraveled in front of my eyes,” Tina berated herself.   “I knew you were struggling with work, then the donor fight we had, then the miscarriage.   I should have forced you to talk about it then so I could help.”

    “You forced me into therapy,” Bette shot back.  “A lot of good that did when I refused to participate in it.”

    “I could have pushed more,” Tina offered.  “I threw myself into The Center to escape while you were working on Provocations.  I just had to do something, but my focus should have been on you.”

    “It was time you took care of yourself,” Bette said as she closed her eyes from the heartache she was feeling revisiting the past.  “You had given up everything for me and like a complete asshole I took it for granted.”

    6. 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!

    7. 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

    15. 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.

    17. **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.

    19. 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

    22. 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.
