“Do you need anything? Tina and I are going to have some of the Sangria you made”
“Nope” she dismissed. “Um thanks anyway,” she added after the fact.
Both Tina and Bette lounged side by side in the pool chairs, a glass of Sangria in their hands and an air of tension between them. Bette sighed and continued.
“So, my daughter will have a full sibling with you but of whom I’m not a parent. If you have a boy,,,” she hesitated and pushed down the pain at the thought of their miscarried son. “then he could have just as easily been ours – same father, same mother. Just a different time in our relationship”
Tina could appreciate the cruel irony and certainly the awkwardness surrounding her desire. She had a month to ponder the implications and in the end decided that this was still the best approach for Angie.
“God T. This is just so much – too much to give you my thoughts on right now…”
“I know” Tina interrupted. “I just, I want another child. I think this time I would enjoy my pregnancy and am in a better place in my life to appreciate giving life. I really want you to support me.”
“And if I don’t?” Bette wasn’t sure why she asked. This was Tina’s decision and in no way did she plan to enforce any ultimatum.
“Then I will carry my baby without having my best friend around. I didn’t want to do that again.”
Neither spoke for a long time.
“I wanted to be there for you, Tina. That was your choice.” Bette quietly reminded and rolled to her side to look at Tina.
“I know. I just didn’t feel that it was at the time.” Tina remembered the pain of betrayal from which she had only recently moved on. “The whole time I was pregnant I was torn between being reminded of what we lost and could’ve had and thinking that the life I was carrying was the only thing I had left in the world”. A tear slipped down Tina’s face and Bette was unable to resist leaning over to wipe it away.
“See. I don’t want to feel this way when I have a child. I want to truly enjoy the experience.”
“But Tina it will be hard on you regardless. The sickness, tiredness, juggling work and Angie and pregnancy…”
“I know. And I’m not asking you to help me”
“No, Tina” Bette countered. “I may not be the child’s mother but if you do this, then I want to be there like I wasn’t with Angie. I’m your best friend and I still love you.”
Tina took hold of Bette’s hand and held it. “Does this mean I have your blessing?” Tina asked hopefully.
Bette just gazed at her for the longest moment while Tina waited with bated breath.
“If this is what you want. I think this is going to be really interesting to explain this to Angie though.”
Tina sat up from her chair, leaned over and hugged Bette hard. “Thank you, thank you”
Watching out the kitchen window, Jodi wasn’t able to follow all that was being said but she viewed the scene before her with a level of acceptance. Despite knowing how much Bette loved her and went through to get her back, she knew that Tina and Bette’s was a new relationship growing from the old one they had. The artist in her likened it to a Phoenix – born stronger and better from the ashes of the old. She emptied her cup and walked back to the study.
Please let me know if I should continue posting the rest of the story.

Lovely story. I hope to see this continue. I am a TiBetter, BUT…I would still certainly read with or without that. I like your style. Keep posting my friend.
This is interesting and like it!
Yes please continue, I love this, it will be interesting to see how long jodie stay’s. And i am first, never been first in my life. lol. pps
Please continue. This is very intresting. Will there be a Tibette reunion??
awesome Robi great writing and excellent storyline, this is what I am hoping for will happen in S5, and, off course, I am hoping it will bring them back together as well in S5 or S6(in my dreams). will they do it here, pleeeeease let them;-) there, i’ve begged – something I rarely do unless the prospect of sex is involved:-)
well I’d say continue but only if u intend for Bette and Tina to get back 2gether, otherwise I won’t be interested….don’t mean to be rude its just that I’m a tru-blu tibetter.
Please continue. I love your writing style, am also hoping that the Phoenix that arises is, well … I know you’ve already finished the story, so I can only pray and hope that T & B get back together again … I’m looking forward to the journey!
OH, and I have NO constructive criticism, unfortunately …
This seems to develop into an interesting story. You should continue definitely. However, there must be a Bette & Tina Happy End with a large happy family. Do not blame me for it but I will only further read, if it becomes a B & T back together story. I am a true B+T Forever Fan. PPS
Nice….something a little different. you mentioned you’re a tibetter, so there will be a reunion, yes???? PLEASE please post soon, since you’ve finished writing it! Thank you.
hell yes continue, If I were Jodi I would be jumping in the ocean and swimming for Mountains in China, running for the hills wouldn’t be far enough, she must be a very very confident woman or really really not into long term, cause it looks like she is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
goo for it!DAMN FINE!p.p.s.
Uh..I just got here and am about to read your next post, but..Don’t dare stop!!
A logical and adult s/l. Their convo is totally realistic ….the family portrait that you paint is detailed and nuanced. Your vision for Jodi and expression of her feelings is well designed and expressed. I like this s/l. I’ll read on.
yes plz continue and plz let there be a B&T reunion !!
Yes, Please keeep this going. Can not wait to see what happens next. Thanks
