“Okay.” Tina says.
Bette gets into Kit’s car and they drive off. Leaving Tina alone in the parking lot, to deal with the chock Bette threw at her.
In the car towards Bette’s.
“Baby sis, what’s going on?” Kit asks.
“Caitlin cheated on me.” Bette says.
“WHAT?” Kit asks out loud.
“Yeah. I found her in bed with another woman in our bed.” Bette says.
“Oh my God Bette. I’m sorry.” Kit says.
“Yeah.” Bette says.
“Has she explained why?” Kit asks.
“She feels that I’m not over Tina.” Bette lets out.
“Wow… Are you?” Kit asks.
“I honestly thought I was. I was planning on proposing this weekend Kit.” Bette says.
“Oh baby sis, I’m so sorry.” Kit says.
“Then today, right before I called you, I saw Tina and Martin outside kissing and smiling. It hit me. I’m still so in love with her. It hurt so much to see her kissing him.” Bette says and starts to sob. “What am I doing Kit?” Bette asks.
“You’re following your heart Bette.” Kit says after a few seconds.
“It won’t get me anywhere. She’s with Martin, she’s marrying him.” Bette says.
“She’s what?” Kit asks.
“Yeah. Martin asked her to marry him, she said yes. It’s over.” Bette says and continues to cry.
“Oh, I never thought it would last between them.” Kit says.
“Well, apparently it did.” Bette says. “Could you just take me home?” Bette asks.
“Sure.” Kit says and 10 minutes later stops in front of Bette’s house. They are both surprised to see Tina standing there, her arms crossed over her chest. Her face is angry.
“How did she get here so fast?” Kit asks.
“I don’t know, she looks angry.” Bette says.
“Do you want me to stay?” Kit asks.
“No, I’ll be okay.” Bette says. “Thank you for picking me up.” Bette says.
“Sure baby sis.” Kit says.
Bette opens the door and exits the car. She closes the door and Kit drives off.
“Tina, what are you doing here?” Bette asks.
“How dare you spring something like that on me Bette? You can’t come two years later and out of the blue, say something like that.” Tina says angrily.
“Tina, calm down. I didn’t plan on telling you, but you kept asking and I didn’t want to lie to you. I never wanted to lie to you or hurt you. But here I am, doing it all over again.” Bette says and looks down.
Tina is silent for a moment. She looks at Bette. Then at the house, their old house. She sees Caitlin in the window.
“I’m sorry Bette. I just… It was a shock. It was the last thing I expected to hear from you.” Tina says.
“I know, I feel the same way. But it’s the truth. Tina, I can’t be around you right now. I’m sorry.” Bette says and starts to move towards the front door.
“Bette, what are you saying?” Tina wants to know.
“Tina, when you kissed Martin, it was like a knife cut through me, the pain was so intense. It was worse than finding Caitlin in bed with another woman. You look so happy with him. I want you to be happy Tina, I do. I just hoped it would’ve been with me… I need to distance myself from this.” Bette says and wipes away a few tears.
“What about Angelica? You need distance from her too?” Tina asks, almost crying too.
“I don’t know. I’m a mess right now. I’m not sure if it’s safe for her with me. I’ll stop by the day care during lunch and visit her, if it’s okay with you.” Bette asks.
“Sure.” Tina says. “Can I asks when I can see you again?” Tina asks.
“I don’t know Tina. I don’t know. I can tell you that I was offered a new position at the Art College in San Francisco.” Bette says.
“What? Are you thinking about moving there?” Tina asks.
“I wasn’t planning on it. But after this thing with Caitlin, it’s becoming more and more tempting.” Bette says.
“Please don’t do it Bette. Think about your friends and family, think about Angelica.” Tina says.
“I am doing that. Believe me I am. But it’s hard, when everything I work for gets ruined or taken away from me in some way. It makes me just want to move away, start over some place else.” Bette says.
“Please don’t do it.” Tina pleads.
“We’ll see. I have to go.” Bette says and walks up the stairs. She turns to Tina. “Bye.” Bette says.
“See you later.” Tina replies.

Damn this is so good and I agree with Dainty and let see what’s next, thanks!
What a tangled ball of emotional string. Just when you think you have unraveled the pain, another kink in the twine stares at you with an even greater challenge. Wonderful use of emotions and subsequent confusion.
Tinayou know you want to, dump Martin for The love of your life
you go girl..im glad Bette woke up for her true feelings and i hope Tina do the same..that Martin is a bore and that woman is a bore plus 2..i hope Bette dont move..and be woman enough to do as her heart is telling and so does Tina..great chapter..thanks Jane ;-)
Great Chapter, i agree with sky and lamen, i couldn’t say it better then them.
Time is running out for Tina to decide if she want’s to take a chance on losing Bette. If she moves away, Tina will be stuck marrying Martin. Bette needs to make Tina understand what she is feeling. Lauren 25 you can put B & T back together again. It would be awesome!
Susannah…Smokey is good for all kids…he offers wonderful advice to help prevent forest fires…heck all fires in general…he’s just an all around good bear. He even wears clothes so the little kids won’t see bear genitalia….lol (remember only YOU can prevent forest fires.)
Caitlin needs to be kicked to the curb and Tina needs an epiphany of her own… soon!
sky that was too funny..thanks for the laugh!!!
Thanks for the great chapter…looking forward to the next update.
If I remeber right, Tina is still having feelings for Bette. She was holding back from Martin to maybe see what was happening between her and Bette. Maybe now Tina will leave Martin and return to her true love.
Skycaptain – Smokey the Bear eats out of garbage bins in Yellowstone Park. I saw his big ol’ blue-jeaned butt hanging out of the top of a dumpster. Tina can do BETTEr than that! …At least Bette would have the grace to do it in leather pants and designer pumps! Somebody, get Angelica a teddybear and move Martin along, he’s had his ‘Tea’.
I’m a total Tibetter so like Bette I try not to love or dwell on Tina but like Bette I’m hooked so I hate Martin, get rid of Caitlin cuz I feel sorry for her and I hate that Tina calls Martin ‘babe’ that’s reserved for one babe, the Bette, PPS
i hope that tina has her realization soon! bette shouldn’t be giving catlin the time of day! it’s a good springboard for getting bettina reunited! (hint, hint!!)
Ahhh soo cute – I soo want Bette and Tina to find each ohter again – they sooo belong together. Sad to see Bette leave for SF but if that is the way for her to leave the pain, I do hope Tina talks her from it. Love it and do post soon
I was gonna add, sometimes (I had this experience) a couple can be too passionate so find it easier to live apart with new partners but use something like a child or a job to give them a reaason to see each other frequently if not everyday and this is unfair to the other partners…as I realised eventually…and is this what your Bette and Tina have been doing? and so I do feel for Caitlin having put someone I wasn’t in love with but did care for thru this shit till I woke up like Bette duh!!!!!sorry to get personal but it just occurred to me as I read my previous comments PPS
Real life is a mess, just like this. Feelings can arise, unexpected, and unlike what Barbra Streisand sings, they’re often uninvited and not very warm. I feel for your Bette. She seems genuinely surprised by the turn her life has taken. Martin and Tina’s relationship has depth. A great change, as most fanfic renders romantic rivals as idiots, straw men (women) or worse. I’m intrigued how this will turn out for Bette. Caitlin doesn’t seem the answer. Thanks!
Glad Bette got that off of her chest. If Caitlin felt that Bette was still in love with Tina…why did she stay? I wouldn’t want to live with someone that was pining after someone else…that’s not loving me. So in saying, that her whole reason for cheating on Bette was stupid…I think Tina and Martin do have a good relationship but if someone was to ask Tina if she was in love with Martin …really IN LOVE with Martin I bet she wouldn’t be able to give them a definate answer. Sure he makes her feel safe and is great with Angelica…but so is Smokey the Bear…these women need to be honest with each other, and Tina needs to fight for Bette. I love this story. Please post soon.
Hey…………great story………love the interaction btwn b and t…..
I’m with skycaptain. I personally wouldn’t stay with someone who wasn’t in love with me. Some people though can do that and think that they have enough love for both people in the relationship. And techgal is right too. In a way it’s nice that Bette and Tina’s partners aren’t deadbeats. Even Caitlin the cheater is still nice, and Martin, unless he has some dark secrets, sounds dreamy in that heterosexual sort of way (even if I still think he’s a wuss). Giving them asshole partners would make the story a no-brainer and ultimately too easy to resolve.
WOW!!!! Great Chapter. I agree wuth sky. I so love this story . PPS
Martin and Caitlin seem like nice people but they are not the ones for our B&T. These girls belong together and they need to be honest with each other or at least Tina needs to tell Bette that yes she does love her just as she did before and wants and needs to be with her. She just can not marry that guy.Caitlin needs to go so they will have the space they need to be with each other. I think Angel will be instrumental in getting her mother’s back together and maybe Kit as well.
sky..how do you know Smokey is great with Angelica?? :)
Everyone has said it better than I could..Just wish that Bette can be happy.with or without Tina. Catlin is not the answer for her. Yes I know the answer TINA Is Tina happy with Martin. Is he a meams to and end/ PPS thanks
