    Lover’s Lapse – Chapter 42

     

    “Screw you Alice!” Bette replied as she smiled up at her.

     

    “If only!”  Laughed Tina, “then she might actually leave everyone else alone about their intimate moments.”

     

     

     

     

     

    As Alice passed through the living room on her way to take a shower she stopped and asked, “What time do we need to get you to the airport this afternoon Bette?”

     

    Bette stood up from the couch and followed her into the bathroom.  Alice turned to her laughing, “I’d love nothing more than to take a shower with you Bette but don’t you think Tina might get a little pissed?”

     

    “She’s with Liza in the nursery Al so for once shut up and listen to me.  My flight leaves at 7:10 that means I need to be at the airport no later than 5:15.  You have to have Tina back at home by 8p.m. not a second later.”  Bette leaned in closer to Alice, “Now I want you to repeat everything I just told you.”

     

    Alice turned to stare at her, “I heard you Bette how could I not listen to you for God’s sake I’m stuck in the bathroom with you.  Why does she have to be home by 8, is that her curfew or something?”

     

    “No smart ass I’m having something delivered at 8:30 and she will have to sign for it.” Bette replied sharply.

     

    With all the enthusiasm of a small child Alice smiled at Bette, “What is it?”

     

    “It’s what they commonly refer to as a surprise Alice.”  Bette smiled broadly and left the bathroom.

     

    As the afternoon progressed both Tina and Bette became increasingly anxious about Bette leaving for home.

     

    Tina stood in the doorway of the nursery and watched as Bette sat and rocked Liza.  She realized that Bette was singing quietly to the baby and suddenly found herself overcome with emotion,  her love for Bette threatened to spill forth in a plea for her to not leave them. 

     

    Bette heard the sharp intake of breath from Tina as she struggled to not cry.  She turned and smiled, “Hey baby I was just telling Liza what a wonderful woman you are.”

     

    Tina stood beside the rocking chair and stroked Bette’s hair.   Leaning down she kissed Bette softly and whispered, “It’s almost 3:30 Bette.  We only have a little over an hour before we have to leave for the airport.” 

     

    Bette noticed the trembling in her voice and stood and placed their daughter in her crib and then she turned and gathered Tina into her arms.  “I am so thankful to have spent these last few weeks here with you with her.  I wouldn’t take anything for the time we have spent together.”

     

    She leaned down and kissed Tina with an intensity that spoke volumes of the love she felt for her.  The mere touch of Tina had always been overwhelming but of late she seemed more overwhelmed by the thought of not being able to touch her.  Since the birth of the baby all she found herself wanting to do was to hold either Tina, the baby or better still both of them.  She almost ached to feel her, to be able to reach out and know that she was not living in a fantasy.  Being blessed with the opportunity to have another chance with Tina was a gift that was not to be taken lightly.  Bette fully intended to spend the rest of her life proving to her that it  was not a mistake to give her this chance.

    1. WOW…amazing to see the love and faith B & T have for spending all their tomorrows together with Liz. The distance will be hard but only strengthen their resolve. Keep the faith for S3…for I’m sure IC knows for S4 to succeed B & T MUST BE. At least, that is what I continue to tell myself. Thanks for this lovely update.

    2. Beautiful, loved the story and your continuation of their love for each other and their re-connection. If we could just have this on the show, all would be right in my world. Thanks for the story and the post.

    3. Bette, Tina and baby is so cute and the love of Bette and Tina have is amazing. Sad Bette have to leave but hope she will come back soon, Alice is so funny. OK post soon please, thanks!

    4. Wow first to comment! Thanks for carrying on – it seems ironic that at the time when we need wonderful loving fanfic the most is when it becomes most difficult to write it. I am still adoring this story and your writing is superb. Keep it up as long as you can. Thanks for brightening up my day once again.

    5. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for such a great and positive chapter about B&T. Because of S3 we NEED more stories like this, PLEASE continue. It was so good to read this chapter this morning after lastnight’s episode. Again thanks and please continue :o)

    6. OK…’05. I cried enough last night! At least these were tears of joy. “Keep the Faith”…all the way into season 4. Keep writing for us and we can pretend this is what is really happening.

    7. Thanks for continueing..It makes me have hope that maybe the spoilers are wrong and now that they have been renewed we might get to see Bette & Tina try and get back together even if it is the cliffhanger for the season.. One can only hope.

    8. Thank you so much for hanging in there. We’ll trust you and a handful of other authors to tell compelling stories we want to see. What’s on the the screen, we’ll ignore. Your story’s beautiful. Please don’t give up.

    9. I hate to see Bette go. Let me remind yet another author distressed by that TV show that, just like IC who can and does whatever she likes with the characters, so can you. Like the ‘Wizard’ told Dorothy, “Ignore the man behind the curtain.” Or the woman behind the show.

    10. I hear you on losing the faith, 2005. I feel like the show is going to drive me to drink! Thank you for continuing with this story. This chapter was great and I look forward to the next.
