    Author Notes:

    Danger, Bette Porter, danger.

    "Right," Bette said faintly, more than aware that the Tina talking to her right now was not the woman she’d kicked out of their bed, and out of the house.

    "So if you could have Angelica tonight that would really help me out," Tina told her.

    "T, sure. I’d love to have her."

    "Thanks." Tina smiled, before turning to go into the bedroom to retrieve more of her things.

    Bette blinked, and wondered what the hell had just happened. Did she and Tina really just have a civil conversation?

    "Oh, Bette," Tina said, returning to the living room. "Anything new with you?"

    Bette, stunned, could only look at her.

    "B, it’s a simple question, not quantum physics." Tina joked at the look on Bette’s face.

    "Um…"

    "Oh," Tina snapped her fingers, remembering something. "If you’ve finished with the legal papers, my lawyer’s gonna want to look at it first."

    "Is that necessary?" Bette asked wearily.

    "It’s a legal document." Tina reminded. "Aren’t you the one who’s so adamant about not signing anything without reading it at least two times?"

    "I mean, legal separation." Bette said quietly.

    Tina stopped in her tracks, the runaway train that had been her thoughts coming to a screeching halt. She looked at Bette. "It’s… it’s what you want, right?"

    "How much clearer do I have to say that I want my family?" Bette asked. "Didn’t you listen to my phonecall?"

    "What, the one where you miss your things, your books, your art, your daughter?" Tina returned. She shook her head. "Yes, Bette, I heard that call. And, well, I wasn’t part of the things you listed."

    Bette sighed. "I didn’t know how."

    "How?" Tina asked, curiosity being the overwhelming emotion.

    Bette looked down at her hands. "T, when I left we were in limbo. And everything I said, or did, was subject to your anger, and–"

    "I know. I’m sorry." Tina sighed, too, and leaned against a nearby post. "But this isn’t working, and we both know it."

    Bette looked up at her.

    "You’re right, I can’t have these feelings around you. So I’m not going to." Tina took a deep breath, and met Bette’s gaze. "Until I figure out what it all means, I can’t be around you."

    2. Then don’t seperate if it is to hard. Tina needs to weigh all of her options before making her finally decisions. If she wants the seperation so badly then she needs to do it and not Bette. Tina will never totally be able to move away from Bette and not just because of Angelica. Bette herself will not be able to move forward either. I hope that you do not follow the show and keep them apart but somehow allow them to work out their differences.

    3. Okay, i’m not so much seeing denialville here, but i’ll just have to trust that we will head there eventually. either way, this is a great story. it will, of course, be much greater once we arrive in denialville.

    5. “God blessed the broken road that lead me straight to you.” I honestly believe that’s how it is with these 2 ladies. I’m not sure exactly what you’re doing, TD, but I’ll trust you.

    8. Tiff_duke, I’d like to purchase a one way ticket to Denialville if you’re driving. I love your writing and this chapter. Yes, what Tina said to Bette broke my heart but I’m going to trust the direction that you’re taking this story. Also, I love the Buffy references.

    9. We are all on the same train with you,Shall we call it The Denialville express? Tina is not going to give in and give Bette a breake.unless its her legs. thanks

    10. “I told you, that isn’t what I want,” Bette answered, annoyed at the audacity of Tina to be caught trespassing and be the one pissed off. Classic. How I wonder where this is going. Denialville …that’s right. Okay Tiff, I’ll hop aboard The Denial Express. Is it possible to be back in time for my yoga class in the morning? ;) Excellent writing…

    11. I don’t think separation is the way to work things out. And I think Tina is a bit selfish here. When she needs Bette, she just said she wanted to go back as a family. When she had other feelings, she said she shouldn’t be around her. Why is there always one person’s decision? You can’t just do what you want and ignore the other’s feeling just because she loves you and is willing to wait. You’ll lose her some day. Maybe that’s what Tina wants. Tina wants a loyal AND popular Bette.

    12. Hi Tiff, I really liked the chapter. But, only a month later, I think there might still be animosity…still things they would haggle about. I’m looking forward to your spin on their struggles.

    16. Well, I don’t know what to say. This is do sad…”I don’t want it, but I need it. I need you to file for separation.” If this separation is what it needs to bring them back together again (since you’re making this story into the prelude to Pick A Par), then I’ll just hide out in denialville for a little while. Please post again soon. Thank you.

    21. “”How much clearer do I have to say that I want my family?” Bette asked. “Didn’t you listen to my phonecall?””What, the one where you miss your things, your books, your art, your daughter?” Tina returned. She shook her head. “Yes, Bette, I heard that call. And, well, I wasn’t part of the things you listed.””I loved these lines Tiff.

    24. As Rodney King once sait “Can’t we all just get along?” Hell, what’s the fun of that? OK, Duke, I’m taking the trip with you. You drive according to your map.

    26. good very good chapter but so sad i have my eyes full of tears. If Tina loves so much Bette then why she want to take the painful street? continue post please
