    Author Notes:

    still of the early morning

    Alice had long since gone to bed and although Bette had tried to follow suit she found herself tossing and turning in Tina’s bed haunted by memories.  She adjusted the cushion underneath her head and lay back on the sofa staring vacantly as the Christmas tree lights twinkled in the darkness.  In less than eight hours her wife and daughter would return to this house.  Questions danced in Bette’s head as she considered whether or not they would ever truly be a family again.  She would love nothing more than to pick her family up from the hospital and return them to their home in L.A. but she knew that there were too many unanswered questions before them.  Allowing her memories to drift back in time she recalled the day they had moved into the house.  Their future seemingly secure in the knowledge that regardless of anything else they would encounter – they had each other they had each other.  These words tore through Bette’s heart and soul knowing that she had forfeited the trust of the one person that she had ever allowed herself to love unconditionally. 

     

    She adored Tina and had wanted to give her the world but somewhere in that quest she had lost herself lost herself and found what she thought had been lost when she’d met Candace.  The freshness of the attraction between the two had played on Bette’s insecurities.  Thinking back to the night they had found out about the miscarriage she recoiled with disgust at the thought that she had actually chosen to go to hear Kit sing instead of staying home with Tina.  How could she have been so oblivious to Tina’s pain and so obsessed with denying her own?  As she replayed the night in her mind, she suddenly came to accept that she had used Candace as a receptacle for her displaced pain simply an escape from reality.  Bette realized that she had destroyed not only years of trust but also the confidence of her family and friends.  For what?  Candace had meant absolutely nothing to her nothing.  Tina had been and would always be everything that Bette had ever dared to dream of.  She had years of random one night stands that had left her feeling empty, then she met her soul mate and her world had been changed forever.

    2. Those precious memories will help Bette focus on what she has to fight for and that’s Tina and Liza. That was a beautiful and tender chapter. Bette has to realize that she needs to make the first move…Tina’s expecting her to fight to get her back. Bette needs to use those memories to rekindle that spark within herself that will fight for what is hers. Thanks for the lovely chapter, please post soon.
