Bette put her arm around Tina and pulled her close, kissed her hair and wished she had the words to tell her how she felt but in their absence she held Tina tighter and hoped somehow she knew.
They sat silently viewing the houses in the suburbs on their short list You know said Bette suddenly I like this onewhat do you think?
Well.. said Tina reluctant to commit to anything so quickly it meets all our requirements..
Its more than that.. look at the light..and the rooms are large and theres space for Emily to play.. Bette grew excited I think this might be the one..I wonder whether we can see it before you go tomorrow.
Bette said Tina quietly look at the price..Im not sure I can manage that even if I sell my apartmentIve only been working part-time since Emily was born.
Thats OK..Ill kick in the rest Bette said. Shed been paid handsomely since the success of Provocations and shed had no one but herself to spend it on so, in addition to the apartment, she had a nice nest-egg she could draw on.
I dont think thatll work.. said Tina. She was starting to panic again. Shed thought they could find somewhere and split it 50-50, start on an even footing, it hadnt occurred to her that it might not be possible.
Its not a problem… Bette said.
But thats what happened before said Tina and trailed off not wanting to start what could be another heavy discussion so late at night.
Whats what happened before? Bette asked perplexed by Tinas hesitation.
Me being dependent on you financiallyit didnt work..we didnt..couldnt.. Tina stopped unable to continue. The hurt from everything that had happened before was still a little raw, they needed a whole lot of time together before shed be able to place it in the proper perspective.
She still found it difficult to separate out the pieces and assess them one at a time, the whole thing was all wrapped up so tightly, quitting her job, the slow loss of her identity, being financially dependent, feeling abandoned by Bette, the loss of the baby and the loss of their marriage.
Bette brushed her hands through Tinas hair Itll be different this time..were different.. she didnt understand everything that Tina was feeling but she could hear the panic in her voice and she wanted to reassure her.
How? Were still us.. Tina said sadly.
Well to start with theres Emily said Bette, trying to articulate all the ways she could see they were different, she desperately wanted to find some way to convince Tina that everything would be alright she needs you to be at home with her, you want to be at home with her and thats what I want too.so how hard a decision can that be?
Bette ..Im afraid Tina said quietly, letting Bette into her fears.
I know you are baby.. Bette leaned in and kissed Tina gently so am I..but were worth that chance arent we?
Let me think about it.. Tina said softly and when she saw Bettes smile dim she added not the us bit..just the house..OK?
Bette caressed Tinas cheek Take your time..I can wait until youre ready.. she leaned in and brushed Tinas lips with hers. She took Tinas face into her hands and kissed her more deeply Oh god I want you.. she said its killing me sitting this close to you and not being able to make love to you.
Do you want me to go? said Tina, her breathing becoming ragged as desire spiked through her body.
No.. Bette breathed deeply but could you stop looking so desirable otherwise Im not going to be responsible for my actions.
Tina stood up abruptly and walked away, she turned and spoke so softly Bette thought for a moment shed misheard her What do you think Kits doing tomorrow?
Bette moved over to Tina Did you just say what I think you said?
Tina nodded unwilling to say it again.
Ill ring her and find out said Bette if youre sure..
Tina nodded again.
Youd better not be teasing me Tina Kennard said Bette and she moved quickly to the phone before Tina could change her mind.

This story is exquisite,i totally love your writing.Don’t leave it so long to post next time,cause i need to feed my cravings this story is addictive!!!
really great..i cant wait for more please continue soon
Ok I’m greedy!!! Three chapters are great, but one more would be perfect!!! Just kidding, though. This is a beautiful story and your writing is awesome.
super great .
i keep wondering how i missed this and keep coming up with no answer. but now that i’ve found it, i’m very grateful to you for your wonderful chapters. tina’s hesistation is very understandable. i can totally understand why she’d be reluctant to jump out there. she and bette have both been through a lot both as a couple and separately. thank you for portraying this aspect of reconciliation.
Meeting the family (again). Always a tough step…but I think our girls are ready. And Auntie Kit is going to love mini-Bette.
Thanks for the reason(s) to stay up just a little bit longer.
Three chapters the same day ? Oh, it was good to read them.
I love Tina thinks they must take time to live together. They don’t know what’s happen in their life during these 3 years so they need to talk about that, no ?
“You’d better not be teasing me Tina Kennard†Is this what they mean by the expression “the kettle calling the pot black”?
I love your post because you always post more than one at a time!
Can’t wait to see where they relocate and if they make use of the 4th room.
Thanks for the story.
Three chapters in one day. You are spoiling us. Thanks so much.
I love this story very much. Everything seems to be settled down and finally Bette and Tina are making some changes to move on with their life. Great meeting with the gang and finally I’m glad to see that Bette realised what Tina had been through the years they been together and how her role seems to gradually changed being from a equal successful partner to someone that needs to justify her position and success in the relationship by means of being pregnant and if that wasn’t successful, Tina will seem to disappear from the picture altogether. You also bring us Tina’s POV of things which are true. She doesn’t want the past to repeat and I feel it’s wise to take it slow as this involves Emily too. However, as per your title said, “Listen To Your Heart”, well, what she is doing is following her instinct and her heart and off we go to see the house with Kit if I’m not mistaken then in the next chapter. :) I hope everything will be resolved when they moved into their house and begin a new chapter of their life together. This will give time for them to try to solve their unresolved issues together at their own pace.
Please continue on with what you do best, write with all your heart and passion because everytime I read your story it always gave me a warm feeling inside..;)
great love it post soon
Today is my lucky day. Three chapters of this story, can I get a woo hoo? Things are moving fast so I hope nothing goes wrong. I like seeing Bette willing to change for Tina and Emily.
I always get so excited when I see mulitple chapters from you…then always feel a little disappointed when I get to the last one…always wishing for just one more. See how you have created such demanding fans?!!!
It just gets better and better.
Great
Loved all three chapters, fantastic!
