HOPE ALONE – Chapter 25
“You at least let me be there when it counted.”
“I handled that so poorly,” Tina continued. “I should have just told you instead of trying to protect you in the beginning. Maybe you wouldn’t have felt so desperate and alone if you knew we were trying once again.”
“I don’t know,” Bette answered quietly.
“I should have never opted for the easy way out either,” Tina said. “Instead of being with Henry because it was easier, I should have taken our sex therapy as seriously as I wanted you to take Dan Foxworthy.”
“I just don’t think you were ready to come back to me, “ Bette simply said. “I think you wanted to grow as a person, but didn’t think you were strong enough to raise Angelica in the arrangement we have now. You came back because of our baby, not because of us.”
“That was the motivation, to make sure Angie had both of us in her lives. I felt like one of those parents who stays in a marriage simply for a child, because I wasn’t ready to come back. I didn’t go through what I needed to, in order to be stronger, and a better partner and mother.”
“I never meant the ridiculous things I said,” Bette shook her head in disgust at the memories. “Even if they did appear in Jenny’s trash piece, they weren’t my feelings or those of your friends.”
“I had none of them when I was with Henry.”
“I had none of them when I was with Candace,” Bette quickly said. “I know how lonely it can get.”
“We don’t have to be lonely anymore,” Tina said hopeful, desperate to see a sign from Bette that she felt the same. “We have each other and we need to continue to work on our relationship. I never want to take it for granted again Bette, I want it to be all that it can be because we nurture it.”
“I want that too Tina,” Bette said as she rubbed Tina’s forearm with her index finger. “I don’t want to hurt you, that’s the last thing I want.”
“You are the best for me Babe, if I didn’t think that I wouldn’t be here.”
“What if you’re wrong?”
“I’m not,” Tina said emphatically. “I’ve grown enough these past few years to know I’m not wrong. I see the Bette I fell in love with, but I see so much more in you now. The way you are with me, with Angie, your students, you aren’t the same woman. In some ways you are, but in the ways that created issues for us before, you aren’t the same Bette.”
“I love you,” Bette said as she brushed her lips across Tina’s gently. “What do we have to do to move forward?”
“Exactly what we are,” Tina said with a shrug. “Well there is one more thing.”
“Oh?” Bette cocked her eyebrow in concern. “What’s that?”
Tina shoved her hard, sending Bette toppling over in the pool with a scream. Tina watched as Bette rose above the surface, her hair wet, her mascara slightly running, and her mouth open in shock.
“What the…?”
Tina’s eyes drifted to Bette’s white shirt, clinging to every curve of Bette’s upper body. Although she had a fairly expensive bra on, Bette’s nipples stood at attention begging for Tina to shower them with affection.
Bette sputtered as she pushed her hair back away from her face, staring at the beautiful woman that sat on the edge of the pool biting back her laughter.
“Why did you….?”
“Because I’ve always loved to see you wet,” Tina purred as she eased herself into the cool water and swam toward Bette. “Who can resist you in a wet, white shirt?”
Bette looked down to see what Tina’s eyes were devouring. She saw the outline of her light colored bra, her nipples rock hard, and her shirt clinging to every curve of her body.
Tina grabbed the front of Bette’s wet shirt tight in her fists as she tilted her head. Tina licked her lips, remaining inches from Bette, who was already trying to nip at Tina playfully.
Tina yanked Bette forward with a seductive smile on her face. Moments before their lips met, in a husky voice, Tina spoke her intent.
“Let’s seal the future with a kiss.”

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..
