Momma Bumble Bee
***
Tina hadn’t been to the West Hollywood house since the day four years ago when she and Henry had returned from Vancouver frantic; not knowing where Bette had taken one year old Angie. The couple had come to the house hoping that Bette would have brought the baby back to Los Angeles but she wasn’t there. Bette wasn’t answering her phone and she hadn’t communicated with anyone regarding her whereabouts. It had been over 24 hours since she’d last been seen leaving the hotel in Vancouver with Angie. Bette’s reckless actions left the grieving mother no choice but to report her missing baby as a possible kidnapping by her estranged ex-partner.
In the days following Bette’s capture attempting to cross the border into Mexico with Angie in tow it might have appeared that Tina was being unreasonable and vengeful. Kit and all their friends sided with Bette since they didn’t consider it kidnapping if Bette was Angie’s intended other mother. Tina was already somewhat estranged from her friends and isolated when she went back to men and started the affair with Henry before she’d even moved out of Bette’s house.
Despite the rancor she felt justified in bringing criminal charges against Bette for taking the baby and withdrawing the petition for adoption. Bette had sought sole custody which meant she was bent on taking Tina’s baby away from her. How could she trust this woman ever again? The situation had been traumatic for Tina as much as for Bette if not more so since it was so unfathomable that Bette would ever do such a thing. Her survival mechanisms kicked in when she was threatened so she made a hard choice. Her heart was broken beyond repair and the only support she had was Henry who had his own agenda; to get Bette out of Tina and Angie’s lives so he could step in.
***
No one really understood Tina’s distress. She was coming from a place of abandonment, fear, distrust, insecurity, and vulnerability. She’d chosen to be with Bette and as a consequence lost her familial bonds. She’d made a life altering discovery and she’d depended on Bette to help her navigate through all the changes. When things went wrong in their relationship it threw her world out of balance. Every ounce of safety and security she might have felt before went out the window. She was stuck in a dichotomy of still loving Bette and wanting to do the right thing for their child and hating her for betraying a trust and destroying their lives, their future and their dreams of raising a family together.

That was going really well. Angie is one cute and smart little girl.
I can understand Tina, but Bette was not the only one in fault. A relationship takes two to make it work or break.
It is not your intent to bring them together back, but i hope you will. In my mind they belong together.
Thanks for the update.
I understand she has other priorities at the moment, but Bette just should fall in love ASAP. She isn’t dead inside, is she? lol
I am not hostile towards Tina. I really want even if they can find forgiveness in their hearts to each other, and they were able to become friends again. (I’d like it even more if they could find their way back to each other, but I know that you don’t plan on this story)
I do understand that Tina lost confidence towards Bette, and very difficult to open up to her again. I think that this situation is much worse than they hate each other, too much oppressed feelings especially part of Tina. I think she would be necessary properly solved this.
I look forward to the sequel
I know your intent is not to write a TiBette story but I so wish it was ! Perhaps you’ll reconsider?
I feel sorry for Tina, she needs to let it go. She will be happier. Right now she is setting herself to very jealous of the new baby.
Tremendous writing as always….really like the concept of this story!
Thanks! I love this story! Its sad also but I think time will heal them. Maybe they will become best friends again one day if nothing else. Boo is always sweet in stories. PPS
Another great chapter I know your trying to make tina more likeable but she is still coming across like poor me bette cheated bette took angie bette has family bette has friends bette went to jail and now is getting on with her life and she is still coming across as bitter so im sorry but no I do not like your version of her she needs to pull the stick out of her ass ok im finished with my rant pps
Im not keen on this not being a Tibette story, but its perfect this way too and very sad. So much history and love destroyed over lack of communication basically smh and Angie just makes things so much brighter and happy in this story and shes funny as always.
I respect the story for your vision, but remember the thing that makes Bette and Tina,… Bette and Tina,… is the fact that no matter what they always find their way back to each other love prevail no matter what, even though Fanfic lol!
very thoughout story but with all the original plot in it Awesome!!!!
I love your story. Maybe Bette will be able to teach Tina to understand that, life does go on even when your life as you thought it was, is no longer. They both have suffered and have lost so much. I am also in favor of a reunion between these two. PPD
Very good chapter! But Tina is still putting the blame on Bette and not ownng up to her part of the break up. Tina put the distance between Alice and Shane not Bette.
I hope you give Bette a new love interest.
Thank you PPS
