“Bette stop…wait….I’m sorry…Let me rephrase.”
“Bette that is exactly how I feel. I feel like…like me…and it’s been so fucking long…long before I left…but since when did you become Yoda….Shit Bette, that was like the most perfect thing to say…Thank you…”
Bette let out a nervous laugh and smiled.
“Shit Tina you scared the hell out of me.”
Tina laughed.
“I can imagine…probably caused a few flashbacks…I’m sorry.”
Tina reached over and took Bette’s hand and whispered.
“Thank you.”
They sat in silence until Bette pulled up to the therapist’s office. Bette pulled to a stop and looked over at Tina.
“Ready?’
“Yeah, I think I might be.”
“Do you want me to walk you in?”
Tina gave Bette a sweet smile.
“Thanks… but no, I’ll manage. Should I call you when I’m done?”
Bette smiled.
“You can, but I’ll be parked right here. I brought some work and a book – a novel.”
“A novel…really?”
“Yeah, I’m full of surprises these days.”
“That you are Porter, that you are…Wish me luck.”
Bette smiled at Tina.
“Good Luck…but you don’t need it.”
Tina smiled and slowly made her way out of the car and through the front doors of the office.
__________________________
After an hour had passed Bette instinctively looked up and stared at the front doors of the building. She looked at the clock and confirmed that it had indeed been an hour. She continued to stare at the doors and with each minute could feel her insides turn. Finally, after another half an hour the door to the building opened and Bette saw Tina emerge. She jumped out of the car and greeted Tina as she approached the car.
“Tina…Hi…um, How are you?”
Tina looked at Bette with tear filled eyes and tried to muster a smile.
“Um…let’s get in the car, okay?”
Bette quickly moved and opened the door for Tina. She gently took Tina’s hand and assisted her into the car. Once in the car Bette looked at Tina and saw she was spent.
“Tina I’d love to take you to lunch…or whatever, but um, you look exhausted. Should I take you to Alice’s?”
Tina looked at Bette and nodded. Bette started the car and began to drive back to Alice’s. They were quiet for most of the ride until Tina quietly spoke.

Wonderful chapter. I think B&T being friends that help each other over their respective Everests is a great place to start. Thanks, DnA. :)
Feel all warm and fuzzy now!
Like Shane said, too fucking cute.
The therapist is correct in telling Tina to work on herself without Bette as her crutch, but I also feel that what time is spent with Bette will help with those issues that Tina is dealing with.
Had to lol at the sofa-snuggle. ;-)
Awesome update. Thank you.
I can see how Bette would have a hard time waiting for Tina to come out. I know I would be loosing my mind. Not that patient am I. But the loving care that Bette shows is remarkable. She really has changed and the proof is in the pudding here she’s showing it. Great writing and love the family moments at the end.
AH…I feel so emotional from tht chapter….I envision all of us saying that about seeing them again……So glad that Bette has changed….she is really going to be good for Tina……
That was cute and I think Tinawith all the support will get better in no time. PPVS
Hey D&A, THat was a rollercoaster ride for Tina.First off, was 90 mins beginning to unravel the damage she had done to her life and then identify some of the causes.Secondly, Tina told Bette about her therapist view of focussing on Tina first and then looking at them as a couple. Bette took this well as seh wants what is best for Tina so if this means hanging back in the mean time she is ready to do whatever it takes.What the therapist didn’t realize is the integral connection that Bette and Tina have. This feeds and nourishes each of them. If Tina is going to move forward she wants and needs to have Bette beside her. The decision to change is ultimately Tina’s but I think she wants Bette’s backing as courage to truly change herself.Snuggling on the couch was a perfect example of how Bette’s presence and touch calmed Tina and encouraged her to sleep. It was sweet that it was a two-way thing and Bette enjoyed a decent rest.Thirdly the gang was re-united. Suddenly time slipped away and we had a group of friends having fun and sharing a meal.Let these good times roll.It will only help Tina get back to her old self.Brilliant and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
very nice… and i love all the friends together… great update..pps
Another amazing chapter.Thank you.
Man i love when the gang together
