    Author Notes:

    Hung. Over.

                “That’s Helena‘s offer for the book,” Carrie said, ordering a coffee and a bloody mary from the server.

                Tina opened the folder.  “Holy ***** *****, did you take it?”

                Carrie shrugged taking a he sip of her water.  “Not yet, I wanted to run it by you.”

                “Where’s the rest of the proposal?”

                “The rest of her proposal is that I run the whole thing,” Carrie answered.

                “She wants you to produce?” Tina asked.

                “Looks like it.  Sounded like she didn’t expect to do anything but write checks.  I can’t tell if it’s just a ploy to get me to hire you, which I’m obviously going to do if you’ll help me.”  Carrie smiled at the bloody mary in front of her.

                “Of course I’ll help you,” Tina shrugged.  “I mean, if she’s for real about this it looks like an offer that no one is ever going to beat.”

                “You would be ok with this?” Carrie asked.

                “Yes, of course.  Look, even if Helena has ulterior motives that involve me it doesn’t matter.  I can handle Helena.  And I’m in love with Bette,” Tina shrugged, matter-of-factly.  “End of story.”

                “Then maybe I should be having this conversation with Bette,” Carrie suggested, “cause I *****’ doubt she would be this nonchalant.”

                “You’re right, there, but let me talk to her,” Tina answered.  “She’s in need of reassuring on a bunch of levels.”

                “Why?” Carrie asked, confused.

                “Bette is much more fragile than she comes across and she does this to herself.  Even if I never mention leaving her ever again, she’ll think about it every day.  Even if I stop blaming her for cheating on me, which I think I really have, she’ll still blame herself.  No one punishes Bette for not being perfect like Bette.”  Tina sighed defeated.  “I love her and it will never be enough to assuage her guilt.”

                “Have you tried telling her that?” Caroling asked point blank.

                Tina raised her eyebrows.  “Tell Bette I think her self-pity parties are tedious and pointless?  Yeah, right.”

                “And you wonder why you fell apart,” Caroline returned pointedly.  “Look, I know I’ve been back in your life for like thirty seconds, but don’t you think that if you’re with someone you should be totally honest about everything?  Even the stuff that annoys the ***** out of you?”

    1. that talk will be great for them they seems to be very confortable to each other but they have to discuss the past to move on for good…another great chapter post soon ;o)

    3. No one punishes Bette for not bing perfect like …. Carrie is smart she got Tina on her toes. Helene is up to something. The Kennard Sister will be more than a match for her. It would take four or more Helene to match or best them.. Thanks

    6. I love this story every time you can come around with a new chapter. And I patently distrust anything Helena has to say, do, or be. There’s no way she is going to be involved with Tina or her sister and not try to manipulate the situation to her benefit. It took Bette losing her CAC position to get Helena completely out of their lives. Why would Tina want to involve her again? I know the offer is tempting – who wouldn’t want complete artistic control over their own project? I’m reminded of TLW’s Winnie Mann and her theatre experience with Helena. Helena can be so captivating – making dreams come true. I hope this doesn’t turn into a nightmare as Tina finds Helena ensconced in the middle of her marriage and her family of origin (Caroline).

      BTW, is the sister’s name a tribute to Ms. Kennedy-Schlossberg, or to the Kennard home state?

      Caroline is a wonderful character whom I would love to see on the show. She could share a trailer with Steph’s Kelly! They are truly voices of reason and hold an accurate mirror up to the B/T relationship. She’s so sensible! Tina NEEDS her. Danny was good too.

      Your story has its own distinctive sense of time and place. You create a unique atmosphere that I enjoy very much. It’s so realistic that I can imagine myself, seated at a nearby table at The Planet, watching that beautiful baby being doted on by an adoring mother and her newfound aunt! Bette’s scene in front of MOCA was equally well realized.

      Thanks for posting!

    7. It’s true that no one punishes Bette better than Bette herself. Carrie called Tina on a few matters, but Tina’s only concerned with blowing Bette off last night…how about Helena. What Carrie told Tina about really talking to Bette is true, but is Tina being open and honest enough with herself? Is she subconsciously still punishing Bette for the affair? Only time will tell…thanks for the chapter.

    13. hey jenny! I’ve missed this story! This update was so inctedible that I’m almost ready to get over the fact that you were MIA for a while! LOL! Hope that you post another soon–like today;) Thanks!

    14. Welcome back, we have reaaaaaaaaly missed this story, and this is a great chapter. I am so happy that Caroliine is there for Tina, she has a unique bond with her and can call her on her s**t. After B&T talk, I think they all 3 should take a look at Helena’s offer. Like Carrie said, no one else have made any offers this should be a HUGE RED flag. It is clear that Helena is attempting to buy Carrie as a way back into Tina’s like. Now, I agree that Carrie along with B&T can handle Helena, but is it worth her raigning havic in thier personal life. B&T has just got thier family back and Tina’s family back. This is a time that they should be enjoying thier family and growing into it. Just be very careful Carrie, when you sell your soul be careful to get areally good price, because itr is hard to buy it back.
