HOPE ALONE – Chapter 25
“Very,” Tina kissed the top of Bette’s head. “But we both did things we regret, it’s whether we’ve learned or not from them.”
“You can’t change who you are,” Bette shot back. “The saying ‘a leopard never changes their spots’ has survived so long because it rings true.”
“I don’t think you’re a cheater,” Tina said in Bette’s defense. “If you were you wouldn’t have gone through hell breaking up with Jodi to be with me. You would have just slept with me.”
When Bette didn’t respond, Tina continued to point out the growth in the woman she loved.
“When you kissed me in front of Melvin, and he called me ‘Tina’, you righted that wrong for allowing him to dismiss us for so long. I forgave you for that, no matter what you wrote in that scene, I’ve moved past that.”
Bette sighed as she worked to slow the tears that had fallen freely the last few minutes of the conversation.
“If you still put work first, you wouldn’t be here now Bette. I wouldn’t have found you at The Planet trying to work through this with Kit. I would have found you in some meeting and gotten my head bit off.”
“I wasn’t that bad,” Bette offered a weak smile.
“You were at one time,” Tina said as she nudged Bette and sat down next to her. “Do I need to remind you of the Philistines that were breaking your back?”
“No,” Bette said allowing a true smile to grace her face briefly. “I knew I was an asshole then.”
“And I forgave you then too,” Tina said as she brushed a piece of hair away from Bette’s face. “I’m not going to leave you because of our past, I’m going to love you because we’ve learned from it and grown as individuals so our future as a couple can be stronger.”
Tina gently brushed her lips across Bette’s to offer reassurance, not just to Bette, but to herself too for having committed her fair share of mistakes.
“I hurt you so badly when I cut you out of the pregnancy,” Tina shook her head in disgust. “I’m sorry for that, for allowing Helena to be in your place for so long during that pregnancy.”

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..
