Pulling Helena’s face gently to her, Peggy continued, “Darling, I hate seeing you like this. I can’t say I have ever seen you like this. I knew she was a passionate woman. Anyone who can be brought to tears and faint looking at a painting must be very emotional, very passionate. I’m sure as a lover she must also be passionate. That’s why you hurt so much.”
Getting up from the window and walking away Helena protested, “I…I need more time. Please understand. I am not ready to speak to her.”
“Helena, she must feel the same. I don’t see Bette Porter bringing this out in you and not feel likewise for you. I can’t believe that she does not love you with the same passion that you are now feeling. The passion that made you want to have a child with her. Helena, that is real love. It must be very real, for you and for her.
Putting her hands over her ears, Helena shouts, “Mother, I can’t hear this right now. I really just want to be alone. Please.”
Peggy gets up from the window and grabs Helena face to make her look at her. Seeing Helena’s swollen and red eyes that she has been trying to hide, Peggy gently pulling Helena’s head down to kiss her on head and softly says, “Helena, stop killing yourself over this. One way or another you must face her and deal with this overwhelming sense of betrayal and loss you are feeling.”
“I will. I will soon, “ replied Helena as she hugged her mother tightly.
“I’m going to leave you alone. Should I tell Maria to have dinner ready around 6:00? That gives you an hour to pull yourself together. Helena, please eat something tonight. You are just wasting away. She has made your favorite. So you’ll have no excuse not to eat.”
Smiling at her mother as she tries to reassure her she will be okay, Helena responds, “Thank you, Mummy. I will eat. I will eat just for you.”
“I love you Helena. Just remember, this too shall pass!"
Helena returned to sit at the bay window looking out at the couple building a snow man with their son. Periodically they would top to throw snowballs at each other. She smiled and laughed at the sight. The scene was both heart warming and heartbreaking for her. She was lost in her thoughts as she watched that family, other people strolling through the park and the cars going by oblivious that she was watching. The hustle and bustle of New York City was a great distraction for her pain. The freshly fallen snow blanketed the city covering its usual grime. It wasn’t old enough yet to be stained by the dirt from the roads or the urine from the dogs. It was pretty white and sparkling. The icicles dripping from the leafless trees added another shine and sparkle to the usual city lights. She was lost in her thoughts and did not turn when she heard her door open and close.

WOW bette finally grew some balls and did the right thing, but it seesm to me she is still blaming tina. if was feeling the same with tina advances why didn’t she stop them? i feel bad for helena this back force. she needs time to sort out what she wants. everyone should leave her be and when she is ready everyone will know.:) great update
I love this story, with each chapter I feel sad, happy, angry, torn and confused…damn, this is excellent.
You know, I really, really do not like this Bette. What she says about the situation with Tina is cold and heartless and she just wont see her own faults!
S this was a chapter full of raw emotions for both women and Peggy a force to help and love her daughter as well for BEtte to understand what they are going thru and what they must do to try and get past this. Finally, Bette make the courage and first to take control of her life and make decisions that she has finally made big mistakes and it cost her just about everything, hopefully she will be able to get the trust back from Helana and can be a couple but htis time around with BEtte knowing what she truely wants, a life with Helena. Happy New Years to you S!!
when i realized i was holding my breath, i thought wow, this is an awesome fic…B can’t expect to walk back in…she needs a little more time in therapy and to work through her feelings/actions and realize she has to “earn” H’s trust again…excellent.. Happy New Year!!
Wow I have tears in my eyes. Bette needs to give Helena some time. I hope and believe that their love is strong enough to overcome this.
brilliant, thx, happy new year, pps
squirl…First of all Happy new year to you and ur family…second..I really luv this story and I can say I am hooked….Okey…Peggy is so annoying…why cant she leave Helena alone to think and not rush helena in 4giving Bette…. Helena is “hurt”, cant she respect that.?? And plzzz Bette, why put all the blame to Tina??? This Bette is sooo selfish. Why cant she just admit that she made a mistake and that she really has a tendency to cheat?//Candace remember??? Helena it’s time to teach bette a lesson to learn to admit she cheated…It is hard to put trust back because cheating is dishonesty….No matter which angle we put the situation…Bette cheated and with full consent….therefore….don’t put all the blame to Tina…Bette better clean up her f**kin’ act together…Tina is not the only bad “guy” here…..Bette needs “psychological intervention”…..Thanks for posting… these are just my opinion…Thanks for posting:)
Hello Squirl, First I hope that your New Year has started off with a bang and is full of joy and wonderment, and I hope that your future shines brightly. I must say that this story so emotionally amazing and I can totally understand what you mean by being drained this one is just so full of primal emotions. I don’t see Bette placing all the blame on Tina within this chapter, I see her taking the proper steps to accept her own responsibilities within this situation. I think hear revealing to Helena why it happened is a major first step for her gaining some trust and forgiveness, I understand that it won’t happen over night, but it is a start. She will slowly allow herself to open up to her faults and hopefully when Helena has had the time she needs she will have her support facing them, she needs someone to help her through this, and right know I like that it is Peggy and hopefully soon to be Helena. That must sound like a mess I’ll have to come back and clarify. I love this story. Sincerely, JC
Squirl…about the Dylan comment…I hope there is a chance….well, still up to your imaginative mind…..But I hope……Corrections to my prev comment…Bette actually admitted she made a terrible mistake to helena on pg. 5….then on pg 4…she sorted out her feeling for Tina in a wrong way by letting Tina hug and kiss her…. she simply made Tina look like a piece of cheese on a mouse trap. Bette as the mouse then she was trapped…lol…:)
as a tibetter, i can’t believe im bout to say this, but this has to be the first time, where I don’t want them together, In this story Im prefering Belena! .. Still can not believe Bette did the nasty with Tina, has this woman got no self control, although putting the lil fling aside, if it was me, and tina was making her feelings well known, I don’t think I would have self control either, but anyway to the point, my heart goes with Helena, I just hope these two can sort it all out!
First of all let me wish you a Happy New Year and I hope you will get everythng you wished for.This chapter was very hard for me to read cause it brought back so many memories since I’ve been in Helena’s position once and I know how hard it is to forgive the person you love, but if the love is strong enough eventually you will forgive that person the mistake they made no matter how hard they have hurt you. I can understand Helena for needing time to deal with all Bette has done to hurt cause hurt like this doesn’t go away overnight. I hope Bette is willing to give Helena all the time she needs no matter how hard it will be on her not to hear from Helena for a while. I’m glad to see Peggy is there for both women cause they both can need her support right now. Great chapter as always thanks
Squirl, I trust you!! loved it. pps and Happy New Year!
Poor Hels. Bette needs to let her breathe. If she gets forgiven, then she needs to get herself sorted out, so that it never happens again. She’s screwed up two relationships now by not being able to control herself. Wasn’t like she was forced into either (Candace or Tina) indiscretion. Hopefully, this is the last time. Painful but well-written, Squirl, thanks.
