HOPE ALONE – Chapter 25
“And I took it for granted that you’d just keep supporting me,” Tina said sadly. “ I got lost in you, I became your partner more than I was my own person.”
“You said I’m controlling,” Bette simply said. “Maybe that was me controlling what I could.”
“Why must you do that? Blame yourself for everything, like I didn’t play a part in destroying us.”
“It was salvageable until Candace,” Bette said as she tried to control her crying. “I cheated on you, and that can’t be forgiven.”
“I did forgive you,” Tina said.
“Come on Tina,” Bette shot up obviously angry with the direction the conversation had taken. “It’s who I am! Do you think I’m proud of that character flaw? I cheated with Candace, I slept with someone in New York when I met Helena for the first time, and let’s not forget that I slept with you when you were with Helena!”
“If I remember correctly,” Tina wiped a tear from her eye. “I initiated that and was just as responsible for it.”
“You had changed,” Bette said sadly. “You were so confident and in control.”
“Dominating,” Tina agreed. “But that isn’t necessarily a good thing either. There has to be some balance between us.”
“That balance scares me,” Bette admitted as she sat down on the cement near the edge of the pool.
“Why?”
“Because you’ll see the person I am, and know you can do better, when you’re a stronger woman.”
“I’m not leaving,” Tina said as she knelt down beside Bette and tilted her chin toward her own face to meet Bette’s eyes. “I am not leaving.”
“I treated you so badly,” Bette began to sob as she lost control of her emotions.
“We destroyed each other,” Tina rubbed her back in comfort. “I did the same when I went back to men, threw finances in your face after you had spent so much time supporting both of us, you have reason to hate me.”
Bette allowed her head to fall over, resting on her bent knees for support, while she cried.
“I threw Henry in your face and threatened to take Angelica away from you,” Tina felt sick at her own actions as she verbalized them.
“I did take Angelica away from you,” Bette said as she shook her head in despair. “I kidnapped my own daughter so you couldn’t take her away from me. How fucked up is that?”

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!
Great!
the answer to the last line is YES ;)
WOW that wa awesome and beautiful!
Wow… This story is the one of the best compare to the TV serious..
