Granted Bette had spent time in prison for her crime and she’d suffered the separation from Angie but that was her doing. Bette no longer had the privilege of having a place in their lives. Now because of happenstance Tina was forced to reconcile with Bette for Angie’s sake. She felt somewhat resentful and rightfully so. Bette had the best of all worlds; love, friendship, family, freedom, financial security, a beautiful home, a doting daughter, and a baby; a son on the way. Bette’s life had been fully restored to an even higher plane than before she’d gone to prison. Tina on the other hand felt isolated even though she was slowly making her way back into the fold. She missed being surrounded by women with whom she had a kinship. She made a good living but didn’t have the same financial security as Bette. Dreams of being in a loving relationship and having more children were shattered. She’d committed to giving her daughter the best life which obligated her almost against her will to have Bette involved. It was as if Tina was the one being punished and making all the compromises.
Tina’s behavior towards Bette might seem extreme but it was justified. After everything Bette did that broke her, having the power to withhold forgiveness, love, friendship and affection although impeding her own recovery was the only way for her to maintain a semblance of control.
***
On the way back from the bathroom Tina looked around the home she’d shared with Bette for eight years and didn’t recognize it with all the interior design changes. Bette had not only completely renovated to add the second floor but she’d also remodeled. Gone were the pristine white walls and minimalist contemporary furniture of the previous décor. Bette had surrounded herself with warm earthy tones and comfortable furnishings.
When they’d moved in together Tina had acquiesced to Bette’s impeccable taste and artistic influence as she too loved to be surrounded by beautiful things. However after Angie was born she’d thought the home should be more kid-friendly but Bette didn’t believe in baby proofing per se. To her way of thinking it was ugly and she really wanted Angelica to develop an intrinsic sense of beauty.
As for safety she believed that children could learn what was safe and not safe through tactile encounters. That obviously was no longer the case as Bette’s home no longer reflected that philosophy. There was evidence of child-proofing in that there were no sharp objects where a child could reach. Corners and edges were rounded; the pool had a retractable cover that was sturdy and secure. Bette had managed to maintain the house’s beauty and design but it had a homey feel.

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
