Bette got up to hold Helena but was met by Helena’s index finger in her chest, “What is happening now is you are bringing it into our relationship in less that positive ways and I can’t handle it. I need you to deal with her. Have some constructive, level-headed conversation with her instead of these explosive boxing matches that you two get into so quickly. Bette, I don’t want to be your sparing partner for your matches with Tina”
Nodding and with a deep sigh Bette responded, “Maybe I was a little jealous, but that wasn’t what got me mad. She reads practically every thing I say as a sign that I still I want her. She baits me, she taunts me. She disrespects what I feel for you. She thinks all we do is fuck and sooner or later I’ll be over you and back to her. Tonight when I met her friend I found didn’t care about them. I didn’t care because I was afraid I had lost you.”
“I think she might be right Bette. I’m not so sure we have anything more than just good sex,”
Bette looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
“Okay, great sex,”
Bette raised her eyebrow even higher.
“Okay, okay, really incredible sex.”
Bette smiled and nodded.
“I want our relationship to be more than sex, much more that sex.”
Hugging Helena, Bette responded, “It is. It is so much more for me Helena and if you think that’s all it is then I guess we have nothing.”
Holding onto Bette tightly, “I want to believe it is more, because it is so much more for me.”
“You know it is Helena and it is so much more for me too.” Bette began to caress Helena’s lips and turned to kiss her.
Helena pulled away after a brief kiss. Knowing how quickly they accelerated into sex, Helena leaned her forehead into Bette’s. “I want to be alone tonight Bette. I need you to sort out Tina.”
“Helena…”
As she tried to speak Helena put her finger over Bette’s lips and looked her deeply in the eyes, “Once and for all Bette, please deal with Tina and whatever it is that is happening between the two of you that makes you both so crazy. If I lose you then we were not meant to be.”
They held each other tightly as the tears of uncertainty flowed from both.

That was awesome. Yes, Bette and Tina need to let go if they both intend to move on to other relationships. The Ange/Pam dialogue was excellent and the it was good for T to hear and to discharge (cry). It is really hard for B and T to let go of the dream they had and Helena is quite right B and T need to talk, one talk won’t sort it, but they do need to admit their love for one another and reestablish it just cut out the sexuals but that can be really really hard for exes to do. I hope Tina and Pam become an item; and I hope Hel and B get it together between the 4 of them they could become excellent friends and parents to Ange (and the other children and maybe more children). Thank you for this lovely chapter and what I hope turns out to be a lovely love story for all 4. PPS
Best chapter yet – really well done.
I like Helena in this story I always thought she was the only honest one when it came to relationships. Helena isn’t afraid to take a change and deal with the consequences that comes with falling in love…Mummy Auntie Lena and Auntie Uncle Shane, I thought that was so cute.
Excellent post!The interplay between Pam and Angelica was warm and enduring. The words that come out of the mouths of babes. Pam seems to be a good person. Someone Tina needs in her life as a friend or lover or both. It’s good too see Bette finally realise what she is doing and just maybe she can get her priorities together. Letting go has never been easy for some, but you must want to go on for things to change. But Helena hit the nail on the head and I quote” There is still alot between you two,whether it is love or just unresolved pain and anger” those words along to me says alot,now it’s time for them to deal with it.PPS!
YESSSS!!!! A post from Squirl to make my day!!!! OMG I don’t even know where the hell to start? You know, if you would post like ONE page, 6 times a day, I could decipher it all. My head is just all over the place with this amazing fic. Belena was the first to really get my head wound around reading stuff outside of JUST B&T together. I’m sure happy I looked at things with an open mind, not to mention it is important to me personally, to reach out to the new author’s and let them know they are JUST as important, and equally as talented (if not more in some cases) than what I usually refer to as the more “seasoned” authors (don’t like to use the word old) LMAO! The creativity on this site, completely floors me. YOU my friend, posess an incredible talent and level of creativity and imagination in one bundle. We are so lucky to have you share it with us. This fic here….hmmm…I am torn in what to feel. I mean, on one hand I think that Bette is falling in love with Helena for sure. I think that whenever you first part from someone, it is very hard in the beginning. Of course it had to be difficult for each one, for anyone to watch the other continue on with life without them by their side. So, I think that Bette may just be going through the typical “mourning” process of putting a relationship to rest. I think once she can completely do that, she will open her heart up COMPLETELY to Helena. Ya know what? Go for it Bette, but just know that there will always be a link between you and your ex, and that is your beautiful daughter. Damn Squirl, there aren’t too many writer’s that have me talking TO the characters. LMAO!! GREAT GREAT STUFF! Oh, and by the way….I still stand by my opinion about Beyonce. LOL!!! My kids will have earplugs, blindfolds, and whatever else I can do to keep their little minds fresh and free of that. LOL!!! I know I know….shut up Chicki. ;- )
I absolutely love this story. It is amazing. This post was so heartbreaking. I hope that Bette and Helena make it. My favorite part was when Angelica called Shane her Auntie Uncle Shane. That was quality humor. I love your writing,and I can’t wait for the next post.
So much has been said that is true–great story, wonderful characterizations and dialogue, love the “Auntie Uncle Shane” reference. Bette needs to first of all be honest with herself about what’s going on with Tina’s ability to still push her buttons so easily. I think if she were really over her, it wouldn’t be that easy. Bette also needs to take some space after Jodi and with this latest craziness with Tina so she can truly be with Helena. Helena is correct in stepping aside, though it’s killing her. As she said, it’ll be worse if Bette realizes that she has not fully let go of Tina. Tina, at least, has finally awakened to smell the coffee. It’s probably too late for her and Bette in this season, but it looks like she has a winner in Pam! So glad she hadn’t slept with Pam yet! And how Angelica pictures her family is very, very interesting! Such complex relationships you have woven here–so glad you took the plunge on this side of fanfic, kid!
S this what a chapter of pain, truth, sincerity and of love. Both Pam and Helena are telling each of them that they need to let go and see what happens or more like what they want. Tina is now seeing that BEtte really cares more about Helena that she thought and Bette nolonger seemed to have cared who Tina was seeing cause she was in pain about maybe losing Helena. Awesome chapter S
that was great…i like where this story is going, and how cool bette and tina’s new wimmin are being. letting go is hard i suppose…yeh, it just is, isn’t it. good show squirl. and i might add, beyonce ruuuuules! kids like who they like, don’t they? i liked samantha fox…hehe…a LOT…i turned out ok. gay, and ok;) lol pps!
they both need some time to sit down and talk. put it all out there once and for all. i think bette can’t to be alone especially now that tina is seeing someone.
This is hard on everyone, I feel sorry for them all. Therapy sounds like a really good idea, for both Bette and Tina. Good post, Squirl, thanks.
that was some good writin’ Squirl…and i just loved how Helena stayed strong…like that Pam too..can Tina and Bette resolve this once and for all, or at least allow Bette to resolve so that she can move on…awesome…PPS!!
Hello Squirl, this chapter was so so good. I feel for all of these characters so much, like BeLena said it is hard to read at times, you have such strong dialogue it hits my very soul. There is so much uncertainty for these characters… they all have different paths that they need to venture down and see if in the end they will be where there minds think that should be, or end up where their hearts really lie. So much emotion, I love it. Sincerely, JC
Awesome job Squirl, really djeez it hurt to read it. As much as I hate them breaking up I think Helena is right Bette need to think about her life and her relationship. If she wants to make it work with Helena she has to be sure that’s what she really wants and not react that childish anymore when Tina tells her shehas a new person in her life. They both need to get their act together either move on without each other or stop hurting other people and themselves and get back together. I know it isn’t easy to let go of someone you have loved that intense, you don’t do that overnight but you can’t just start another relationship hoping it will work out and you would eventually get over your ex.
OMG, this was an amazing chapter, Squirl ! AMAZING ! And soooo realistic. I absolutely loved it. Now, from where I stand I really don’t think that Bette is over Tina. In fact, from her reaction to finding out that Tina was dating someone new ( and her overall behaviour since the beginning of the story ), I do think she still is IN love with her. I think it’s much more than just not feeling sorry for Tina. And by that, I’m not saying that Bette deliberately lied to Helena when she told her that she loved only her. I just believe she’s really really confused right now, and I’m sure she genuinely cares about Helena ( and you showed that very well in this chapter ). But to be honest, I don’t see Bette ever being completely over Tina ( and vice-versa ). This is why I think Helena’s decision is not only totally understandable, but wise. And it’s a good thing that Helena can see things so clearly, that she’s so lucid, because she really does need to protect herself for Bette might indeed keep on hurting her without even a hint of malice. Did I say that I loved this kind of drama before ? Oh, and before I forget, am I the only one who believes that Bette’s sudden burst of anger at Tina has very very little to do with her not wanting for Angie to be exposed to Tina’s dates, especially since Tina hasn’t been dating anyone in quite a while ?
Hello again, I must say that I am seeing something a little different after reading claricestarling comment. I don’t think it is about Bette needing to move on from Tina, it is Tina needing to move on from Bette. If she can let Bette go with no strings attached this will allow Bette to really sit down and really understand where she stands, for Bette right know Tina is the safe bet (no pun intended) because she completes her family, but I don’t think Bette is “in” love with Tina anymore, Tina just allows her to provide Angelica the life she never had, one with both parents. I think that Bette is falling “in” love with Helena, she isn’t there yet, but Helena just made the biggest sacrifice for Bette, her own possible chance at happiness with the woman she is “in” love with. In the course of there recent relationship Tina hasn’t made any sacrifices for Bette the woman she supposedly is “in” love with. I think Tina needs to let go of Bette and then they will all see where her heart lies. Sincerely, JC
Hello again (again), The adults in these relationships all three of them need to be mindful of how this is going to affect the children, if Angelica is already associating both of Helena’s children as her own brothers and sisters, then I’m guessing that Wilson and Jun will react in kind with Angelica and it is the children that will suffer. They need to realize that there own personal lives affect more then just them. Sincerely, JC
as your tale evolves, so does the complexity. I’m truly stumped as to where Tina and Bette’s feelings lie. I will continue to watch where you take this fantastic tale.
I agree w/ clarice that bette’s sudden anger is not due to angel’s exposure to T’s new date. Honestly, Bette’s reaction is some kind of insecurity and jealousy. If B has really moved on, she should feel happy that someone is making Tina happy. I feel like Bette is only on denial that Tina can replace her in her life. Upon meeting Pam, her first impression about Pam’s niceness and physical features makes her feel that she is no longer T’s apple of the eye. Her automatic reaction will be to build her wall by showing that she is not affected by knowing Tina has a new date. Tina is still hurt and very verbal about her feelings for Bette, (at least she is honest)…letting go is really difficult. 7 years???. It takes a lot of self-reflection to analyze her true feelings for Bette. Helena is right to give bette time and space to examine and weigh her feelings towards the 2 women. The trouble with Bette is she is being selfish and tried to control everything for Helena, tina and angelica. This control issue is hurtful to other people’s feelings. Bette cannot always decide for these women. Bette is the one that needs to go for therapy to discuss her feelings and whos is really love. I know there is still a strong feelings for Tina… My goodness. These 2 are just a mess…Tina dating, but INlove with bette. Bette loving helena, but jealous with Tina’s new date….But I love this drama…Pls just make everything right for these people okey? Thank you…
This was great, I hope Bette takes some time to think about what she really wants and I hope that leads to HELENA! As darkhawk said before Helena has made a huge sacrifice by possibly losing the woman she loves. Tina needs to just let go and move on.
This is a wonderful story and very beautifully written – thank you
I agree with darkhawk. i don’t think it’s unreasonable that Bette still have some feelings for Tina, she probably always will, and she feels a little jealousy over Tina’s date…natural, these feelings don’t sip away overnight, and Tina certainly has them as well. She also has much guilt over not being a united family for Angelica, but having said that, loving someone on some level is not the same thing as being IN love with them, and I do not think Bette is in love with Tina. I don’t think she trusts her or feels safe with her. Furthermore, she is not the one running after Tina begging for a fuck. Tina is the one doing this, trying to stir Bette up, playing on her guilt, disrespecting her and her relationship, treating Bette pretty cheaply, manipulating her. Bette was trying to move on and just have a civil relationship with Tina. I do think Bette really loves and is in love with Helena, but they, B&H both have to give Bette the time she needs, together, to mourn the end of her relationship with Tina and reach a calm place, where she can truly be with Helena, and with no manipulation or interference from Tina.
Love all the comments from darkhawkdown, so ditto on that. I did have to point out that I was LOL at “Auntie UNCLE Shane.” Priceless.
Chicki-After all this talk about her, I decided I needed a Beyonce fix so I pulled up her video-“Get me bodied” and I thought. “My God how am I letting my kids see this.” So she will be banned for them but I’m going in for another hit.;-)
