"Bette! You scared me." Tina turned and saw the serious look on her face, "Bette, what’s wrong?"
"Tina, you know that I love you."
"Yes, I know. I love you too."
"That’s why it’s so hard for me to do this, T." Tina stopped and stood in one place.
"Do what?"
"Tina, I can’t have a child with you because I’m not in love with you. I love you, dearly and deeply, but I’m not in love with you."
"But you could learn to." Tina’s eyes were welling and about to spill over. Bette began to cry as well, for the second time that night.
"No, Tina, I can’t. It took me five years to love you, but you can’t learn to be in love. You just are. And I’m not."
"Is this because of Helena?"
"No. It’s because of me. I can’t do this anymore. It’s not fair to you or me and it wouldn’t be fair to a baby that we want to bring into this world. I’m sorry, Tina. I just can’t put either of us through this anymore."
Silence. Tina took the silence to breathe. She felt this coming. Bette had been pulling away from her for months now. She was angry, but not that angry. She brought it on herself. She went after a love that would never be hers.
"I’m so sorry." Bette got up and walked over to Tina, "I know you loved me and you cared for me so much, Tina. Maybe it’s too much to ask, but I’d like for us to be friends eventually."
Tina smiled at Bette through her tears, "Always the lover, huh, Bette? You could never let a girl down easily." Bette smiled and chuckled slightly. Tina placed her hand on Tina’s cheek and kissed her softly on the lips.
"I love you, Tina. I always will." Their forehead placed against each other.
"Maybe I should move out."
"Not right now. You stay the night. I’ll stay at a hotel tonight."

Hours Later
Alice was calling around for Bette. Helena was crying and she was alone at her mother’s Los Angeles mansion and she knew Bette had something to do with it. After five tries, Bette answered.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, where are you?"
"Alice? I’m at the Four Seasons and I just stepped out of the shower, why?"
"Four Seasons? Why aren’t you at home?"
"I broke up with Tina and decided to let her stay at the house."
"Let her stay? It’s your house!"
"We shared it for five years. It’s just as much her house as it is mine."
"Did you tell Helena?"
"It’s not about her."
"Well, she’s crying over you."
"Where is she?"
"At her mother’s."
"Well, that’s her problem not mine."
"WHAT!?"
"How is it my fault? She let me walk away." Bette grabbed her towel off of the bed and wrapped herself up in it. There’s was a knock on the door, "Al, I’ll call you back. Someone is at my door." Bette hung up and looked out of the peephole. When she saw who it was, she opened it and stared at the woman in front of her.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"To claim what’s mine."

I’m thinking it Helena but how would she know where Bette was unless she went to the house and Tina told her.
Damn you, ash! I actually smiled when reading the line “to claim what’s mine”.. Damn you for making me smile over the woman who called Tina manipulative! Loved Bette’s break up though. She does love Tina. Tina’s amazing.. Helena’s alright.. Sometimes. Love the story though, babe. Shame to hear about Village being on hold.. I like that one. But whatever works for you. You could work on a rotation, it’s what I generally do although I tend to stray from it occasionally. Thanks for the update! ADx
TINA IS CLAIMING WHAT IS HERS???
It has to be Helena. Who else would Bette belong to? PPS
oh nice ending. I think it’s Helena because in this story Tina is not the ‘one’. I love it. I was really getting in to ITAV….but this one just heated up so carry on. I’ll take what you give. thanks for sharing your talent with us.
I kinda feel sorry for Tina being used like that and throw away like nothing. It better be Tina claiming what is rightfully hers and not Helena.
It’s Helena right, please say it’s Helena…my girl is “claiming” what’s hers…you go girl…great update, but i can’t believe you did it again…damn, damn, damn….i know you’ll post soon, cause that’s what you do, but one small request, could you not leave us hanging like this…really good cliff hanger…Thanks!!
What can I say. I loved it! You my dear have out done yourself on this one. And I like many others fans of your writing can’t wait for more. All in all Bette did the right thing but now it’s time to see who’s claiming who or who’s to be claimed. Excellent update!
Hey Ash you better make sure that helena at the door or you will have one mad BeLener coming after you LOL.Good job girl
Very good! Hopefully Helena decided crying was getting her no where and decided to claim her love! But I mean… Bette realizing it was ‘mutual’ and ‘unwillingly’ walking away done by both of them..
that better be helena saying i’m here to claim what’s mine. i’m praying that’s helena. i want it to be helena! PPS!
Oh ash, this chapter was soooo awesome to read now that I just got back from my vacation. I loved the fact that Bette was finally honest with herself and told Tina the trth that she didnt want a child with her, and that she loved her,but was not IN love with her. cant wait to see what happens next.
Now that’s what I call a cliff-hanger. Don’t keep us in suspense for long!
I’ve never been able to grasp Bette and Helena together. Sorry. Love your writing though.
Should be Helena but how would she know where to find her. Is Tina so big to tell Helena they broke up and where she was? Hmmmm
