Tina inwardly shook her head and thought that for such a smart woman she had made an incredibly homophobic decision….a decision that predictability had a huge impact on those who were dragged down the dead end path with her. And now, sitting in this elevator car with nothing to distract them, she could clearly see the results of her mistakes visibly etched on the face of the only person besides her child she would love for a lifetime.
“I don’t know what to say or how to explain to you Bette…”
“You don’t have to explain anything to me Tina,” Bette interrupted.
Tina pressed her toes into Bette’s in an attempt to silence her. The unexpected touch had the desired effect and Bette stayed silent, her eyes glued to their feet.
“Yes, actually I do.” Tina gave Bette a sad smile. “If I owe anyone an explanation it would be you.” She stared at Bette in silence until the other woman met her eye and gave her a slight nod to continue.
“Bette, when…” Just as Tina was getting ready to launch into what she now knew was a pathetic explanation for breaking Bette’s heart her stomach let out a loud grumble. Both women chuckled at the sound.
“Hungry T?” Bette asked raising one eyebrow.
“I skipped breakfast this morning so I could get a few hours of work in before coming here today. I was going to stop…” Tina’s voice trailed off as she watched in fascination as Bette reached into her large purse and pulled out a package of peanut butter crackers. Her eyes then widened as she watched her systematically pull out packages of Ding Dongs, and Goldfish crackers, as well as a baggie of pealed mini carrots…all topped off with two small bottles of water. She thought she saw some ginger candy, but Bette dropped the little box back into the bag too fast for her to see for sure.
“Wow,” Tina leaned forward smiling. “What else ya got in there?” She joked as Bette brought out two packets of hand wipes. “It’s like a little ‘stuck in an elevator’ survival kit,” she teased.
Bette held the smile on her face as she tried to think of why she would be carrying around so many snacks. “Well, you know how it is with a small child…always needing to be prepared for any occasion.” Bette’s smile was genuine now, happy with her answer.
Tina on the other hand looked again at the snacks and frowned. “You feed our two and a half year old daughter Ding Dongs?” She said with disapproval.
“What? No, of course not T! Those are…uh…well, those are for me,” Bette said sheepishly shrugging her shoulders. “I like the chocolate and the creamy filling.”
Tina laughed out loud. “A lot really has happened hasn’t it? I’m permanently back in the lesbian column, and you…a woman who two years ago would have never carried food around in your purse, afraid the packaging would break and ruin your Marc Jacobs bag, is now carrying around a virtual convenience store full of preservatives that taste like food!”
Bette stared down at her provisions, then back at Tina when Tina’s words registered with her. “You’re back with women again?” Her eyebrows rose in anticipation. “I mean…uh…have you been seeing anyone?”
Tina blushed at the question and looked down at her lap.
“Oh, I’m sorry Tina. That really is none of my business. Please, you don’t need to answer that.” Bette silently chastised herself for making Tina uncomfortable.
“No Bette, that’s okay. I’ll answer your question. I want you to know. I…uh..well, I uhmm…”
The elevator suddenly jerked, causing the women to grab for the walls of the compartment, and at the same time knocking the two bottles of water over. “Shit!” Bette watched as they started to roll away, and then without thinking she leaned to the side stretching her arm out to grab them, the movement causing her shirt to stretch across her stomach.
Tina’s eyes went wide as she took in the scene before her…all the snacks which had never before been a part of Bette’s diet…the box of ginger candy…and Bette stretching to grab the bottles.
“Oh my God,” Tina gasped, covering her mouth with her hand. “You’re pregnant!”
Tbc (lol)

Now that’s a twist I wasn’t expecting. PPS!
You are SO wrong for leaving us here!! I’m really enjoying your story and hope that you can come back to update it again soon! Thank you!!
What an unexpected twist! PPVS.
Hehehe! Love it!
Oh that was so perfect. I love that Tina figured it out herself. Its better that way, funny actually when you think that Bette missed all the signs of Tina’s pregnacy and ended up being embarassed by Helena getting it before Bette did. This is Tina at her best now the question is what will Tina do with this knowledge. Great Chapter Seahurst thanks for the telling
Enjoying the evilness of this cliffie? LOL, Seahurst…this was way too good! You know I let out a screech when I read “You’re pregnant?”…and saw your “TBC LOL.” Hah-hah! You got us good!
You should have had a “gotcha” in there after your tbc, lol! Please post soon!
Never saw that one coming. Now I want to know Tinas’ next comment. Also I want Tina to continue to tell Bette what she was about to say. They both need to hear it and talk about it so very much. Thanks for posting.
Well that was a surprise! Can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction!
Whatttt??? Talk about blindsiding me!! Great update Sea, I can’t wait for more!!!
Wow! I hope they stay stuck in that elevator a while longer!
Wow!!! That was just too good. Bette is way too cute. How much longer can Tina hold back. Oh God I can feel the heat. Just amazing. Thank you and Please post soon.
Did you actually just do that?
Well, the wheel turns and what goes around comes around. Is the baby daddy blond/blue to mirror Angelica’s parentage?
LOL indeed. That was a cliffie worthy of the most dramatic of our adored writers! This is the exact excuse Tina needs to go into full on Bette-loving mode :-)…right?! PPS!
OK.Speechless in the face of your first rate cliff hanger.
Ally–you are freakin’ hysterical! I loved your comment! OK, so that was amazing. The simple flow of the story, going along and having Bette and Tina have this amazing dialog, and then BAM–ginger candy which I remember well from my days! Now that she understands that Bette is pregnant, what will Tina do? This is truly the time where I think they’ll be tested and I can’t wait to find out where they go from here. The easy road would be for Tina to walk away and go back to life as it was before she understood Bette is pregnant, but I don’t think Tina could do that. I think it would haunt her that Bette is pregnant and she isn’t part of it, that’s love. Keep on going!
Love the idea o Bette being pregnant. Can’t wait for Tina’s reaction. pps
Oh man, they were doing so good. I really was hoping that could move forward as a family again, but no, Bette is pregnant with jodi/new girlfriend’s baby.
Always them little cliff-hangers at the end, why did you leave it there great chappy though.
Cliffhanger! I kinda thought with the combination of Bette’s baggy clothes and Bette’s therapist making that comment about telling Tina something that Bette might be pregnant. I wanna know if either one of them is in a relationship! Bette doesn’t have any rings on so that’s a good sign. I want Tina to finish her sentence…..
Hey there- I’m not around much these days, but will always come back for a tale of yours. Thanks for another great read!
Haven’t been to the site in ages and stopped by on a whim. What a reward I got when I found a new story by you! So great to be here and to read your writing again. I’ve missed the stories and I’ve really missed Bette and Tina. Thanks for keeping the faith and the muse! I’ll be around again because I must see how this story goes.
