Love Lost, Chapter 3
Tina thought back on the day they all met with the lawyers and the first time she had seen Bette since this had all gone down. Bette looked tired and her eyes were swollen from what she knew to be a hard night of crying and perhaps drinking. Tina had felt her heart leap from her chest and her instinct was to take this woman into her arms and console her. She came very close to calling it all off and would have done so had Henry not shown up. It was that day she realized she could never stop loving her, thus filling in another piece to her puzzle.
Loving Bette was not an option for her. It was fact. One that could never be denied no matter how hard she tried and no matter how much she may have hated Bette at any period of time. However, as she realized this she also came to the conclusion that she had made her bed with Henry, and now she would have to lay in it.
Several months later, she found herself in front of her friends acting giddy over the engagement ring on her finger. There had been shock at first, followed by the sincerest happiness they could muster as they congratulated her. Tina remembered how quiet and solemn they had become when Bette walked into the Planet shortly after. She had dreaded this moment, looking into her former lover’s eyes only to tell her she was marrying another.
Bette reacted calmly though. So much more calm than Tina ever expected. She remembered Bette taking her hand in her own and looking at the ring adorning it, before looking passively into the hazel eyes she loved so much. “Congratulations,” she said, the word falling casually from her lips. It broke Tina to see Bette so cold and unfeeling, but she held it in. They had all sat in their silence for several more minutes before the atmosphere became too overwhelming for Tina. She had given some lame ass excuse about meeting Henry for dinner, and then drove home to check on Angelica and cry herself to sleep.
Tina sat on her rock over looking the lake as she fast-forwarded her memories to last night, when a huge realization hit her. Her love for Bette she had reasoned with, and she had been aware for sometime that she had no real feelings for Henry. The big realization, and thus her change of heart, came when a huge section of the puzzle finally came together. The one part of herself that she had refused to acknowledge made itself known:
“I don’t want to settle. I want to fight for what’s mine. I want to fight for Bette.”

The Tibette Ship is slowly righting itself. I hope that both women are able to really sit down and talk about all the pain and suffering that both have endured the past 2 years. I am so looking forward to reading what comes next.
Yep glad Tina now talking and yeah go fight for your Bette and never let her go. OK post soon please, thanks!
That’s right FIGHT Tina! She is afterall your daughter’s mother and the love of your life!
Fantastic as usual. Love how your giving each of them their moments to relive and remember. I’m a true believer in all roads eventually lead to where we were destined to be. So they hit a fork in the road, all they have to do is for once in the last few years be honest with each other. What’s that I read, heading to S.F, coming for our parade or is it just the Grand Marshal you want to see?
