Lover’s Lapse – Chapter 20
The warmth and sincerity of Bette’s words washed over Tina’s broken heart both warming and awakening it. Tina grimaced suddenly and clutched her stomach. “Bette I can’t do this right now. I am physically and emotionally drained and I just need to lie down for awhile.”
Bette helped Tina to the couch and went about the task of getting Liza settled down in her nursery. When she finished she helped Tina from the couch and gently steered her to her bedroom.
“Call me if you need anything, I’ll be here in a flash,” Bette said as she smiled softly and turned back the covers pulling them tightly in around Tina.
As she stood to leave the room Bette asked Tina, “Do you want the Christmas lights left on or turned off?”
“Please leave them on,” replied Tina softly. As Bette closed the door Tina whispered quietly, “I want you to be able to follow the light home.”
Looking around the room Tina noticed that the photograph of Bette that sat on the nightstand was lying face down. Reaching over she lifted the frame and realized that the glass had been shattered. “Oh Bette,” she sighed.
By the time Bette entered the kitchen
“Where’s Tina?” she asked as she began to sample from the buffet in front of her. “BETTE!” she yelled loudly, “Hello – earth to Porter.”
“I’m sorry Al did you say something,” Bette looked blankly at
“Where’s Tina?” she asked once again as she realized how deeply lost in thought that Bette was.
“She was beginning to get tired so she went to take a little nap,” Bette said as she looked over all the food. “This really looks great

I have been a silent reader for a while. I have to tell you that I have been totally enjoying your story. I know that B & T have a ways to go, but they do belong together.
I was really excited when I saw that you had posted. I am enjoying this story. I certainly don’t condone cheating but for some reason with BP I find myself willing to forgive but only one time. If there is a second time then don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
Alice is the new Yoda..lol..wise words to Bette..cant wait for more thanks :o)
Tina seems to forget her ring. Another great chapter as always.
DAMN RIGHT!! this chap was just what i needed, damn that was good. a 1,001 thank you’s. please post soon. PEACE.
Good chapter. Glad they talk a little bit and can’t wait to see more and let them happy. Post soon please, thans! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
“I never allowed myself to believe in forever until I saw you two together…” Yes, I guess that’s why we all love Bette and Tina and why we all root for them to be together.
“I want you to be able to follow the light home.”….. wow….
When I was younger, I also think cheating is unforgivable. But now I feel like if s/he sincerely regrets and wants us back, I may consider give him/her another chance. And if it’s Bette Potter, I’ll definitely give her another chance. LOL. And Bette and Tina’s case is not a simple cheating. They both contributed to the mistake and Bette never thought of covering it or telling lies, so… It’s so different as what Tina will do in Season 3. :'(
Even we of the smart-ass persuasion appreciate a bit of hope ever now and again. Tina should ‘fess up about Sheri. And yeah, what’s with Alice being wise and stuff?
I am glad you are a hopeless romantic with our girls! I know that cheating is a hard thing to forgive but every relationship is different. I think I could forgive. So thank you for this story.
Think that when Tina makes up her mind,thing will be different but better.They will need time. thanks
“Please leave them on,” replied Tina softly. As Bette closed the door Tina whispered quietly, “I want you to be able to follow the light home.”Now that was my favorit part it really is so romantic. I wish Bette had heard her so there could be a little flamey light in her heart. Great chapter.
“I want you to be able to follow the light home”, damn I wanted to cry. This story just keep getting better. Of course theirs going to be some bumps along the way, but those two love each other like the rest of us can only hope for, not only do they belong together, its their destiny. Please update again soon.
I am really enjoying how you are plotting this story out. Pls continue
i am with alice… they can be better… love your story… and i know thet will make it… and that also goes for the show… please continue
sweet
yep, their love is precious and true and things can get better, they both have to try
Happy that you posted. I’m not condoning cheating, but since it is fiction — I’m truly a romantic when it comes to Bette & Tina. Let’s hope that Tina can allow herself to heal the pain that Bette caused. Thanks for the chapter, please post soon.
Alice with the words to Bette was very Yoda.
