    Author Notes:

    Phone tag.

    Bette strode into the house, slamming the front door behind her, and taking a brief moment to regard her surroundings.

    The house was dark, a clear indication and reminder that she lived alone. She allowed herself that small pang of sadness, remembering times when she and Tina would come home from work, just grateful the day was over and they had the rest of the night to spend time with each other. She remembered coming home to Tina. To Angelica.

    Bette shook her head, berating herself for thinking back to memories that Tina clearly did not remember as fondly.

    She noticed the flashing red light of the answering machine, and pressed the button, then made her way to the kitchen to get herself a nice, cold drink.

    "Hello, Bette? It’s me. Tina."

    Bette paused, her hand on the refrigerator door handle.

    "If you need to reach me just try my cellphone."

    Bette exhaled a breath she had not realized she’d been holding. Bossy Tina, she could handle. Easier to ignore, even hate. Annoying-bossy-and-inexplicably-vicious Tina was safe to loathe in private.

    "And if anyone looks for me, just give them my number."

    I’m your fucking secretary now, T? Bette thought sarcastically, opening the bottle of beer, and taking a long, earnest drink. God she needed a drink.

    Or six.

    Apparently Tina wasn’t done.

    "I don’t want this to be a problem, so just draw up the papers, whatever. I’ll sign them."

    Bette suspiciously glanced at the machine. Not like Tina to be so compliant. At least, not the recent version of Tina.

    "Just please let me have our daughter."

    Our daughter?

    "I’m really sorry about how we got here, but please let me have her."

    Bette scoffed. As if she could ever stand a chance in court against the biological mother.

    But then, why was Tina asking?

    All kinds of alarms were going off in Bette’s head.

    Tina was making sense. Was it possible?

    "But I don’t want you out of her life either, so…" Tina paused here. "Just give me how you want to work this out, and… we can talk about it."

    9. I love when we get the reaction on the flip side of phone calls, it is so very interesting to get both point of views! As always, thaks for the great chapter!

    10. Bette should just go and get all the papers in order and go from there. Tina might have done something she is afraid of,and that Bette could possible get the baby. Post soon please thanks

    12. Tiff, more please! Please let them have a real “conversation” and no more phone tags. I forgot to mention in my comments for the last chapter that Tina’s message to Bette reminds me of Bette’s phone call to Angelica while she was at the retreat in the show. Bette was reaching out….and here Tina seems to be reaching out too. Thanks for posting.

    16. At least they are headed toward getting somewhere. And I’m glad Tina’s message was coherant. Mine would be like, “Uh yeah it’s Heather and uhhhhhhhhhh Angelica misses you and stuff. Yeah…I love and ummmmmm miss you too.” It would sound REALLY fake. lol

    19. stop with the ? marks…you know we want you to continue…it was wonderful to see bette’s response to tinas message (things like that never shown on TLW)…let them talk in person soon
