“How…” Tina began, then cleared her throat as she started to choke up. “How do you feel about me, Bette?” A little shocked that Tina would need to ask such a thing, she reached up cupping Tina’s cheek in her hand and stared compassionately into her ex’s eyes.
“Tina, I love you more today than when I first laid eyes on you. The day you stepped into my gallery was the day I lost my heart and I haven’t had it back since. You’re still the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Hot tears welled in Tina’s eyes as her heart overflowed with love for this woman. One or two tears escaped in quick trails down her face. Wiping them off she broke the gaze she shared with Bette to stare at their hands now entwined on the table, their breakfast forgotten.
“So the question remains,” Bette said after several seconds. “How are we going to start anything new as just friends?”
“One day at a time, Bette. As much as I would love to whisk you away to that master suite and make love to you for the rest of the night, I know a large part of me needs some time. And right now that requires that we work on our friendship first.” Their eyes meet again.
“I’ve discovered that I’m a bit of a serial monogamist,” Tina stated, feeling the need for more of an explanation. “I jump from one relationship right into another, and so far it hasn’t been working for me. I need some time; Time to discover who I am apart from any relationship. I hope you can understand that.” Bette continued to stare into Tina’s beautiful hazel eyes. The impatient side of her didn’t want to wait, she just wanted Tina back in her life the way things were. However, she realized after nearly 9 months of barely saying anything to the love of her life, this moment right now was a huge step and she knew she would wait for Tina forever if she had to.
“I’ll wait as long as I have to,” Bette stated sincerely, running deft fingers through beautiful blonde tresses.
“Thank you,” came Tina’s reply. Both women had forgotten their breakfast over the intense conversation they just shared. Angelica, who had remained quiet so far glanced between her mothers with intrigue.
“I, uh… want you to know that I’m sorry…” Bette began to speak, “for taking Angelica without telling you. I panicked. I was just so scared…”
“I know,” Tina interrupted. “I’m sorry for overreacting. I was scared, too. I had all these random thoughts about the adoption, about how I was feeling about you, my anger and my love and the only logical voice that even remotely made sense was Henry’s telling me to break all ties with you. I should have never let him have that kind of say when it came to us. I’m so sorry.” Tina’s tears began anew as she was once again distraught over her past behavior. Bette hated to see her cry.
“Shh… it’s okay. Come here,” Bette whispered as she gathered the blonde in her arms to console her. “I don’t care anymore what you did or what you said. All I want is to have you and that little girl back in my life, and I will wait as long as I have to. I promise.”
They remained in each other’s embrace for several long seconds, until the sudden shriek of Bette’s cell phone pierced the silence of the cabin. It was then that Angelica also decided she would no longer be ignored, and began crying. The two women parted with a shy laugh.
“I’ll get Angel,” Tina said.
“I’ll get the cell phone.” Bette stood and walked back to the master suite for her phone. Tina gathered Angelica in her arms, instantly quieting the infant. A second later, Bette stepped back into the kitchen area. She hadn’t answered her cell yet, but she wanted to give Tina fair warning.
“It’s Alice.”
“Uh-oh.” Pressing the talk button, Bette placed the receiver next to her ear.
“Bette Porter.”
Alice sounded scared and nervous and rushed all at once. “Bette… Tina’s missing.”

tina u have alot of work to do soooooooooooo glad u stopped being a dumbass
Wonderful story to read on a Sunday afternoon…thank you.
How in the world did I miss this story? I wonder how Tina will feel when if she finds out Alice was sent to talk her out of the wedding? She will probably laugh about it after a second or two of anger. lol I bet B&T’s eyes are really sore now after so much crying, especially Bette’s if she’s cried for 3 months straight.
bette can make alice happy by telling her about tina’s whereabouts…i’m glad they are willing to work ontheir relationship, just don’t make it too long
A cabin in the woods. Did you mention a bearskinned rug? And no love? I think Bette should be renamed the U.S.S. Constitution, in honor of her resolve as well as the coming holiday. Hail BriTinia, but she would have to show me some fireworks. …but hey, that’s just me, Ms. Fleet Week! …Thanks!
I guess it would be wishful thinking to say this story is based on season 4 spoilers huh? Well anyway I like it alot, can’t wait for the next post.
great story and can’t wait for the next post.
The smartest thing Tina has ever said was to “take it slow.” Well, if they don’t end up making love, could they at least cuddle? I mean, lets keep it real…..if were are to believe that they are so desperately still in love, allow them to spend time holding each other. They probably need that more than an orgasm.
Hey great your saw JB, and very very greta that you posted and Tina and Bette are reuniting, I love them together and with Angel so more soon please…and more sorting out of Tina’s shyt, I wanna hread what drives her to be her, ok?????
So_Gay I am glad that you enjoyed your trip to SF and seeing JB. I wish that I could have been there but alas I was not. Besides Alice being scared out of her mind, I am happy to see the Tibette duo talking. Tina is doing the right thing in taking it slowly and starting out as friends. It is going to be very hard not just jump back into a relationship but taking the baby steps is the right way to go. Thanks for posting and I hope that you get to post soon.
Sorry it set you back a bit to come out our way for the parade, but as you said its sooooo worth it.Now as for your story, awesome, amazed the fog from our bay didn’t affect you at all. This story just keeps getting better. As much as we’d all like them to just get at it, taking it slow is exactly what they need to do.
Just read all the chapters so far and it is a great story.
Ok… I just caught up… And now I am hooked… Tina’s missing allright! She’s missing Bette ;) *jumps up and down exitedly* Yeahyeahyeah! I loooooooooove where this is going… More please? *puppydogface*
So_Gay, just rediscovered this story …. please update when you can… hope all is well. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I can’t think how i missed this story – but i’ve read all 4 chapters in one go and i have to tell you – i love it – its always disappointing when you read a lot in one go and get to the end to find there is no resolution – yet. but i love where you are going and look forward eagerly to your next chapters – may there be many of them! I’m waiting!
hey! glad you posted, what take so long?
This is good-Tina realized that she does jump from relationship to relatinship. Now her and Bette can work on a friendship first and then eventually get back to being lovers. The only question now is how long will these 2 be able to keep their hands of of one another once they start hanging out everyday like friends often do.

Hahaha ” Bette, Tina’s missing ” lol yes she missing and Bette too with her. Well this is a good start for them, they talk and work thing out and let be friend and take step by step and do it right for Tina so she not confuse anymore.
