Tina: That’s not me Kit I wouldn’t do that again. I know better now. Both in terms of how to deal with those things that bother me as they come up and how to take care of myself so I can be a true partner to Bette and not let her feel like she has to carry that burden for both of us.
Kit: How did you come by these new skills Tina?
Tina: Kit when you are not in a relationship for the first time in your adult life you find lots of time to think and reflect. I realized that I was at my best and happiest with Bette. She allowed me to be me, she supported me on every big choice I made: my coming out process, having a child, leaving work to focus on having a child, working at the center rather than return to the high stress of Alphaville, never hesitating to pay my rent when I left her and finally wishing me happiness when I left to be with Henry. Henry’s son asked her to take a family picture of that included Angelica, Mikey, Henry and I in our home. Bette was stunned, but still managed to take the picture and look ever the confident Bette Porter. I was mortified, but did nothing to stop it, she took control and once again gave me what she thought would make me happy. Kit I’m going to tell you a story that not even Bette knows. I need for you to keep this between us. I’m telling you this story to show you that I was so lost that Bette wasn’t my only victim and I am ashamed of this as well. One night Henry, Angelica, Mikey and I were out to dinner, an elderly couple came over and complimented on what a lovely family we had and praised us for adopting Angelica. Kit’s eyes shot open and her posture became rigid. I never corrected them. Kit I allowed someone to think Angelica was not my flesh and blood and let them think Henry was her father. Kit, even with all that I’ve done to Bette that has to be my lowest point. I denied my daughter for the sake of a safe acceptable picture perfect family. I am just thankful that she wasn’t old enough to understand what I just allowed. Kit, I am back from that low point and ready to resume my life. I am ready to come home in every sense of the word. I’m just not sure how to get inside anymore.

interesting conversation. I can see Kit’s dedication to her niece and her sister. I also think that they will always have that bond that may not include Tina. This is great. I’d love to see where this will lead. Thanks:)
I like Kit’s directness and truthfulness. Tina’s acceptance of her major fuckup is important. PPS.
Man alive, this was a tough chapter. Kit is right, the three of them will always have a bond and a life experience that can only be understood by them and someone like them. Tina is also correct in that she loeves Bette beyond reason and needs a chance to prove to Bette tht she loves her and will alwys be with her. Her forever. The are each other’s forever whether Bette admits it or not. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. PPS
Funny how everything is Tina’s fault yet Bette’s affair is forgotten, and Tina was all for Bette adopting Angelica until she found out that Bette filed for sole custody. It was Bette who tried to take Angelica away from Tina not the other way around, and it was Bette who kidnapped Angelica when she didn’t get her way.
Kit will rip Tina a new one if she steps even a little out of line. They were both going through so much during and after the split up that Kit should consider if she is not going to help she should not hinder.
OneStorm1, with Kit’s history of substance abuse and being given so many chances by Bette her involvement may actually tip things in Tina’s favor IF Bette asks; I don’t think Kit will meddle, she is no Alice…lol; Kit’s last comment “you won’t get the chance” is akin to a father/brother telling the groom if you hurt my daughter/sister…;Tina came to Kit to plead her case that she is sincere and not backing down, Kit didn’t ask her too, but made it clear that its all up to Bette; she hasn’t pushed either one way or the other; thanks for sticking with me!
emma2005 are we reading the same story? bette’s affair (and as awful as the situation was, i still don’t agree w/ calling it an “affair,” nevertheless) is certainly not forgotten, but as tina reiterated, she admits it was a colossal fuck-up, but she did not fuck-off and was there & ready to atone for her actions. in this we’re seeing tina ready to step up to the plate now. greatly enjoying this one and hope that “forever” isn’t over!
What a interesting conversation!
yes aqueous one, there are those among us who think that Bette should be punished forever for that mistake, the affair, regardless of the pain and despair Bette was experiencing,because hers doesn’t matter, and tina never having to take responsiblity for any of her own actions, because HER pain is the only thing that matters. I thought Kit was going to tear her a new one when she told her about letting that couple think Angelica was adopted, and she should have. It is true that Kit, Bette and Angie have a bond that Tina isn’t a part of, due to their race, but more because Bette is Angie’s other mother and loves her more than life itself, and her color doesn’t enter into that, and that is what Tina wanted to destroy. Tina is really coming forth with everything, to Kit, and I will give her that it takes guts to do that. I am glad to see Tina owning up…but I don’t know if she should try to get Bette back..she has hurt her so much…
Well i yet again enjoyed this update. Good job really…and look…(looks at all the comments) a debate! You know you’ve sparked some kind of fire when a debate is held on your comments section! LOL. I would like to point out to all of the commentors…that it takes 2 for a relationship to fall. All we need to do is look back at Season 1 BEFORE the affair. (and since i categorize Tina’s brief stint on the internet as an affair Bette’s most certainly is it happened more then once.) Both Tina and Bette were already at a point of pulling away and hurting one another when the fans come in on Season 1. There was tension between them and resentment. If looking at the episodes in a unbias opinion you can see that. Tina turned to Alice a lot for her pregnacy instead of Bette…i don’t know about you all but if MY partner took the test without ANYONE but me and others found out BEFORE me that my partner was pregnant i would be devasted..Whether Bette was working or not. Let’s face it, you can say that Bette wasn’t there, but she was taking time off and doing the inseminations, but she STILL had to work. Now…was Bette in fault as well BEFORE the affair..YES! That’s the beauty of a relationship BOTH people are to blame..Now..we have lwsho2005’s version of why Tina should be taken back and I think she does an excellent job of conveying HER opinions….So….Carry on!
It was evident to me from the first show that Bette and Tina weren’t doing well at all. In issue after issue there was no real communication, and I absolutely say they were both to blame for that. I think that Tina though had unreasonable expectations for Bette in regard to her ability to be home with Tina as well as work her ass off to support them, and Tina telling everyone about the baby before Bette knew was clear passive agression against Bette. It also seemed to me that Tina thought that she was the first woman to ever be pregnant or something! But, after Bette’s affair and Tina leaving to me is the crossroads..not only that she chose to inseminate, and that she was pregnant without telling Bette, which to me would be devastating, but she chose to come back. I believe that to come back to Bette only to demean and punish her in every way is not THEIR fault, it is HER fault, and something she needs to take responsibility for. She is doing it in the fic but she is not doing it on the show, and I don’t understand how people can say that everything she did is okay cos Bette cheated!
I just caught up with your story! It’s great to see a reader become a writer!!!! Boy, both of these women have truly screwed up their relationship, haven’t they? I have to agree with Emma2005 though that we do tend to blame Tina for so much, while giving Bette a free ride, or at least a much cheaper one! LOL Bette did her share to, so it’s okay for Kit to play the protective older sister, as long as she doesn’t get too carried away! Bette and Tina both used their daughter to inflict pain on the other. They both used other people sexually to ease their own pain while knowing it would hurt the other. This is a good story, and I totally enjoyed reading it, and look forward to your next post! Glad to see your name as Author! Thanks!!!
Foxy brown dont play I tell ya lol! But I agree Tina did try to give Bette a family even though she cheated on her but when she saw that tried to take full custody of the daughter she bared and almost died having she reacted the only way she knew how like a lion on attack on someone who was trying to mess with her cub…can you blame her
