Lately: Part 4
"Okay, I’m sorry."
"Apology accepted." Bette leaned in and kissed Tina’s lips. She loved Tina, she really did, it was just that sometimes her determination came in the way of her better judgement.
Across the room, Helena was watching Bette and Tina interact. As much as she hated watching them, she knew it was needed for her to move on. She needed to see Bette happy and in love. She needed closure, though this wasn’t necessarily working. Mostly because Bette didn’t look happy, and she surely wasn’t in love. She watched as Tina rested her head on Bette’s shoulder, the way Bette held her, the way Bette’s eyes looked annoyed—everything said that Bette was unhappy.
Tina was there for her when she needed her, and I wasn’t.
Bette valued loyalty.
Helena hadn’t been very loyal and Tina had. She had to give Tina at least that respect. Her attention was called to the center of the room, as Dana’s parents began speaking.
"We had this gathering today because it’s hard to get over the death of someone you loved so deeply and dearly alone. We want to thank you for being here because we truly need your support." Mr. Fairbanks looked onto the crowd, a sincere smile on his face.
"May I say something?" Helena called out.
"Of course."
"I guess what pains me the most is that I wasn’t there when I should’ve been. I wasn’t there when it counted." Helena’s eyes rested on Bette. Their gaze was intent, with both women’s eyes moving past their exteriors and into their souls, "It’s my biggest regret for letting those moments slip away. All the things I should’ve said, and didn’t, and all things I could’ve done, but didn’t are still on my mind." Helena took her eyes off Bette for a moment, "I know that wherever Dana is, she knows that I love her and that she’ll never be forgotten, not as long as we live."
Bette watched as Helena walked into the crowd, knowing that her words weren’t just meant for Dana, but for her as well.
****
"So, what did you think of Helena’s little speech?" Tina asked, standing in her bra and panties and taking off her earrings. Bette eyed Tina, her eyes scanning the figure of this woman that she was involved with. Tina’s body was beautiful, shapely and fit. Bette licked her lips slowly as she began undressing herself.

Well at least Helena let Bette know how she truly feels with her eulogy to Dana. Bette and Helena need to talk.
i really hope belena finds closure, peace, each other and what the heck sex….. then i will truly be happy… i mean so they can be happy again….what’s up w/ tina and having a baby? what the frickin frack? great update! pps!
My you’ve been busy. Busted, too funny. The tragedy of loosing Dana, should be a wake up call. UNless you’ve lost someone quite unexpectedly its hard to comprehend, but there are no guarantees, don’t wait, don’t put things off, cos we don’t know that tomorrow will come. Its admirable of Bette to be with Tina, but its probably not right. I don’t doubt that she loves her, but she’s not in love with her, and trust me Tina knows, they always do. Its not fair to either one of them.
I really enjoying every minute of this story. I love how you intertwine the flashbacks with the story you’re writing. It’s showing us readers the history between the two brunette lovers that we all came to love. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I really hope that Helena and Bette will have a moment real soon..PPS!
My first allegience is to a Tibette ‘ship. That said, bring on the B&H!! Helena can be so hot!! I always think of her as she was in Season 2, showing up at Tina’s community center (or whatever the hell it was) with the camera crew. Stunning!!
the flashbacks are great and this is a totally well written fic…but you’re torturing me…when will b&h talk…not get-it-on, but just talk…this is going to be one hell-uva converation…PPS
Caught in the act: too funny, and a truly memorable way to come out to your big sis! Helena’s double-edged eulogy was poignant, and Shane’s “This fucking sucks” summed up the Dana tragedy very effectively.
I really am liking this story. I just hope that in time B&H can find some peace. Tina needs to back off on the baby talk. Thanks PPS
Ash, you know I adooooore your stories. I even nearly forgive you for making everyone hate Tina.. AND for killing Dana off. I’m glad Bette’s still attracted to her and that she’s loyal because she DOES love Tina, no matter what you write :P Anyway, do continue :) Be nicer.. but continue.. Flashback made me giggle. I’d never allow my sister to see me with a girl but I guess I wouldn’t particularly like her to see me with a guy either.. Hmm.
Like where you are taking this and love the flashbacks but still hope B & H get back together ….
I unusually don’t read Hellbette stuff cause I can’t picture them together.Tina wants a baby with Bette because as with hetero couples its to save the relationship.After 5yrs of sharing a bed with some one and only being with them half heartedly is cruel.Hook Tina up with somebody else.Bring B and H together.
This was an excellent update to this story. You have a knack it seems to take the characters apart to allow your readers a chance to get in their heads. And the flashbacks are just the icing on the cake. And no matter how much Tina wants to have a baby with Bette it will not make her fall in love with her. But I do believe that Bette does love Tina she’s just not the one she’s in love with. She should tell her it’s not fair to her or Tina. Sometimes when it comes to the heart you can’t always play it safe,sometimes you have to reach out and take a chance. Helena did, now it’s Bette’s turn.
