“You never told me?” Caitlin asks.
“I was never planning on taking it. My life was here, with you and Angelica.” Bette replies.
“Yeah. Sorry.” Caitlin says.
“It’s okay. Now, I’m seriously thinking about taking it. The only thing that keeps me here is Angelica. I don’t want to leave her, but I… I feel like I need time to myself. Away from everybody.” Bette says and wipes a tear away.
“Leaving is not the answer Bette, and you know it. There is this little girl who is dependable on you. She needs you. You can’t leave her. You just can’t.” Caitlin says. “I know that we’re done, and that you stand very little chance with Tina, but Angelica, she hasn’t asked for any of this.” Caitlin says. “It will crush her to know that you’ve moved away and that she can only see you once a month.” Caitlin continues. “Don’t do this to her.” Caitlin says.
“I don’t want to. I really don’t.” Bette says.
“Then don’t, stay.” Caitlin says. “Bette, is there any chance that we could stay friends?” Caitlin asks.
“Yeah. I’d like that.” Bette says and gives her a smile.
“You need to talk to Tina about this, whether you like it or not. You told her didn’t you? That’s why she was here?” Caitlin asks.
“Yes.” Bette says.
“What did she say?” Caitlin asks.
“She was chocked at first, then she got angry and then she wanted to talk.” Bette says.
“Okay.” Caitlin says.
“Can I ask you something?” Bette asks.
“Sure.” Caitlin says.
“The woman you slept with, do you like her?” Bette asks.
“I do like her, but I don’t love her.” Caitlin replies. “At least not yet.” She adds and looks down.
“Why did you stay with me Caitlin?” Bette suddenly asks.
“I love you. I love you so much, and I hoped that you would eventually give yourself to me completely. I dreamt that it would happen soon.” Caitlin says as she starts to cry softly.
“I’m sorry.” Bette says and reaches out for Caitlin’s hand. She strokes it softly.
“I will always love you Bette. Just like you will always love Tina. I might have had you, but I never had your heart. That always belonged to Tina.” Caitlin says through her tears.

I love this story. please post soon.
The racial issue was one of the most salient of S1, in my opinion, and deserves further exploration. Thanks for tackling it! Glad Bette and Caitlin could leave each other smiling. It’s nicer all around when a break can be done that way. For Bette to be so composed after finding another woman in her bed – what can I say? She’s a champ, that Bette Porter is better than me. …Thanks!
Good chapter. Good Caitlin is now out of the picter and now is Tina turn to kick Martin out too so let B&T get back to gether and be happy as a family. OK now let see Tina answer. OK post soon please, thanks!
Tina has a crack in her wall and that crack is spreading by the second. Bette did what any mother would do to protect her child. She is so right for Angelica and I am glad that she realized that before moving to San Fran.
Very nice chapter, filled with lots of pieces; looking forward to you putting the T&B puzzle back together again. Great work!!
Tina cant answer Bette. Yet Bette is giving up a better job to try to make Angelica a happier child They say a child shall lead you. Maybe that is what will happen. thanks
Lauren 25, not you too? You have now joined the official fanfic “leave em hangin” club. Oh, sure you didn’t know that one existed…but it does. Lots of fanfic writers are in it, and now you too are a member. Congrats ! (LOL)Okay, back to my comment. It was so sweet the way Bette talked to Angelica and told her how important it is for her to play with all the kids and that her skin color doesn’t matter. Tina is so busy at work, that she seems to be working herself to the ground. Is she trying to work alot to stay away from Martin ? Maybe she needs to let Bette know that Martin doesn’t give her earth shattering hapiness when he looks at her. Only Bette does that…right?
cpq we are thinking a like regarding the day care; especially in LA, it almost seems hard to select such a day care unless it was in Beverly Hills, so many children are of mixed heritage in that area; will this Tina ever grow up and just tell Bette how she feels and what she wants? Did she only say yes to Martin ’cause Bette told her too? Give us TiBette, but let Tina be a bit more grown up, please
this is going really good…now it’s tina turn to realize something…hopefully she will do it soon and be honest about it
Is very good thing that Caitlin talk to Bette for stay, definitly Angel need her, and now that Bette had an open heart talk with Tina she need to do the same and be honest with Bette abaout her feelings!
I am really liking this new story. I hope Tina wakes up soon and smells the flowers. Her and Bette are just ment to be together. Thank you
hey..where is the next pages??? why you stoped there??? mean woman…that was for sure a really good chapter..Angelina need to learn we all all diferent that is what maked unique..Bette did great..now i hope her and Tina try to find each other again..and kick bore martin out..great chapter..thanks
ops..Angelica..not Angelina..i blame Angelina Jolie..cuz she is always on my mind..lol..Cat baby im kidding..you know you are the only one in my mind and heart forever..
Tina’s head is bowed so thats got to be a NO? great now please don’t make her a slower learner!!! great story PPS
lol…yeah Pandora good save….I am glad Bette is staying…Angelica needs her. She can help her get over her insecurities, I am glad the kids aren’t teasing her. It’s so nice to have different races and colors of people can you imagine if everyone looked the same no variety? I hope Bette gets Tina to open up and tell her her true feelings. Sorry Martin.
I like Caitlin and I would like to see that work out.
I am enjoying your new story, please put B&T back together, hope there is a new chapter soon.
Lets get them talking about their feelings…….post soon…. I am addicted…..
hey…..u cant do that…..keep us hangin……damn……so whens the next post??? this is a very crucial moment for us tibetters……..post soon…..
Well at least we now know Martin hasn’t been putting ideas in Angelica’s head. He still has to go though.
Post soon, please! I’m addicted.
Love this story, let’s get them talking and back together. Of course, Tina still loves and wants Bette, she just needs to tell her, an dtell Martin, GOODBYE.
Okay, Bette idin’t lie to Tina when she questioned her, so why is Tina attempting to lie to Bette. Bette should be able to look her in thr eyes and tell that she is trying to lie. B&T should also attemp to put Angelica is a more diverse Daycare. She will not feel like she sticks out like a sore toe if she is in a more diverse surroundings and it would be better for her emotional growth :o)
I hope that Bette isn’t setting herself up for another devestation. post soon!
