Past and Present Clashing
“Yet she had part of you that threatened us; at least for a while. I thought maybe you were falling in love with her. I was really scared of losing you and the idea of someone else raising our daughter …”
“Never. You are the only other mother Angie will ever know. Even if you and I didn’t get back together we would always co-parent her. I promised you that Bette and I meant it.”
“I know. It’s just that Helena would say things about taking care of you and the baby. She would talk to the staff at the CAC about the nursery. Leo mentioned seeing you at an event and talked about how excited you both were about the baby.”
“It was just her way of goading you. That nursery was so over the top, just like the dress. Believe me baby, she never threatened us. I couldn’t be intimate with her if I didn’t care about her, but I didn’t love her. I’ve only ever had two loves in my life and that’s you and Angie. Besides when I saw how she used Wilson and Jung Yin against Winnie it really made me realize how lucky I was to have you.”
“Why were you with her Tee?”
It was a question Tina had asked herself often during the time that she was with Helena. She wanted to believe that the reasons had more to do with her own needs than as a vengeful act against Bette.
“I know you can’t see any good in her as a person, and maybe being with me was all a game to her knowing how much it would hurt you, but I wasn’t with her to hurt you. She was good for me.”
“What do you mean, good for you?” Bette asked.
Tina wanted to spare Bette the details of her relationship with Helena, but they were committed to honesty, and obviously Bette was still bothered by it.
“For my ego, for my self-esteem, to feel worthy. When we split up, suddenly my life was turned upside down and then Helena came along and took control. She was a force and I got wrapped up in her. Other than you, I’ve never felt so sexually desirable to another woman. It was new and exciting.”

Nice chapter….I think they still need to do a bit more talking. They both felt in the past, they were being rejected sexually by each other. They need to explore the roots of this and how it brought them to the actions they took. That is going to be a painful discussion. Bette seems surprised that Tina thought that she was not sexually attractive to Bette. In these type situations, its never a single event but a string of events which when put together appears to look like rejection. If they do not explore this together, then they are bound to repeat their old habits and there will be trouble in the future. They have made a good start at this process and the more of these type of conversations they have without judgement and without malice, the stronger their relationship will become. They will bond on a higher and more stable level than they are now. They are well on their way to a strong and stable relationship.
I love the fact that Melvin has come to accept Tina and Angie as members of his family. I love the fact that Bette wants to include him in wedding. Now if they could see a change in Tina’s family, they could live happily ever after!
Thanks for this story….. perhaps another chapter soon? It seems close to being finished.
Thank you for posting this long awaited Chapter!
As usual I enjoyed it and your way of potraying these characters.
Please do not be so long before you post again.

Thank you for the chapter!
Always be curious – even before miscarriage, when Bette starting asking herself if she fallen out of love with Tina – if it was just fear of having baby or not? And isn’t it to trigger her affair with Candace?
Hi BAT2012,
I am so glad to see a new chapter from you!
It is good to see that both are committed not to make the same mistakes and are actually talking and opening up about their fears (Bette) and Tina explaining she didn’t feel desired anymore by Bette.
If they keep talking i see a great future for them as a couple and as family with Angelica!
Thanks for your update!
So glad to see an update !
The relationship is still a little fragile but it’s on the right track.
Please post again soon.
