“Wow, okay.” Bette says.
They sit in silence for a while longer.
“Well, I should go.” Tina says and stands up and walks towards the door. Bette follows.
“Tina, let’s have coffee next week.” Bette says.
“Next week?” Tina asks.
“I want you to make sure. Think it over. I don’t want to get my hopes up again and then have it taken away.” Bette says.
“Okay… I never wanted to hurt you Bette, believe me on that one, even if it’s hard to believe.” Tina says.
“I believe you, it’s hard to but, I believe you.” Bette says.
“Thank you.” Tina says.
“I should get back to bed. I have an early meeting tomorrow, or rather in a few hours.” Bette says.
“I’ll leave. Have a good night Bette. See you next week.” Tina moves closer to Bette and pulls her into a hug. “I love you Bette. Always did, always will.” Tina whispers in Bette’s ear.
Bette closes her eyes and smiles.
“I love you too, always have, always will. Drive carefully.” Bette replies and breaks the hug between them.
“I will.” Tina says. Her eyes are still teary, but now it’s happy teary.
Tina leaves and Bette goes back to her bed. She lay down and smiles.
“I won’t get my hopes up.” She says to herself right before she falls asleep.
The next day, Martin took the day off of work.
He wanted to solve whatever needed to be solved. He had fallen asleep by the time Tina got back.
He’s in the kitchen making breakfast, when Tina comes walking in.
“Hey.” He says.
“Hey back.” Tina replies and grabs a cup and pour herself some coffee. “You didn’t have to make breakfast Martin.” Tina says and takes a seat at the table.
“It’s okay. I wanted to… I took the day off today.” Martin says.
“Why?” Tina asks a little surprised.
He finishes the breakfast by putting it on the already set table. They were ready to eat… pancakes.
“Because I wanted to talk, to solve anything that needs solving or wants to be solved.” Martin says and looks at Tina. “Have you made up your mind? Or are you still weighing the options?” Martin asks.
“Martin, I…I’ve made up m mind.” Tina hesitates a little.

OMG, I’m stressing here. First Tina finally goes over and admits she loves Bette and wants to be with her, then you throw this wrench in. Cruel, just cruel. Please,please let Tina consider going with Bette to London it would really be a fresh start for them.
I would love to say, “OMFG I can’t believe Bette said yes.” But really, I’d probably have said yes a well. I mean, think about it. A crapload of money for 1 year of work. Plus, they can webcam each other every day/night. The 8-hour time difference would suck though. And yes I’m aware that I say this as a person who has no children. It’s totally hypothetical for me at this time.
great chapter…Thanks
GO WITH HER!!!! GO WITH HER!!!! GO WITH HER!!!!
Great chapter, so Hope that Tina goes with her, please please please please. xxxxxx
Bette!!! TAKE THEM WITH YOU!!!!!Uhhhhh, Lauren…. I cannot believe you stopped right there! You tryin to kill me or what!?! … Mannnnn!… Now I gotta wait for an update. Great chapter by the way! =)
This is actually their original plan. Tina gets to stay home with Angelica while Bette earns the money. Peggy is probably prepared to house them too so most of their money will go into savings. This allows them to really focus on each other w/o family interference. I am not happy that Tina wants to keep Martin in her life, Bette’s already told Tina she can ‘t watch the two of them together, it hurts too much. Tina has to know that Bette doesn’t want to leave(she didn’t want to go to San Fran) and that this must be an incredible offer. It would almost be irresponsible for Bette to decline this offer.
at least bette asked and i hope tina will go with her, they just found out that they love each other still, it would be cruel to separate them and also from angie who adores bette
Very cool twist that I was not expecting. Awaiting the next post.
VERY Interesting chappie Lauren. Girl, “You got skills”. I hope that Tina and Angelica go with her, if nothing else it will allow them both to form a deeper bond with Angelica so that she will less lightly to be insecure if either of them have to leave or go away later. This seems to be a pivtal time in Angelica’s life when she needs to be close to them both :o)
Say YES!
I know you must have cliffhangers but really….now, at this time when we really want to hear what Tina says to Bette.
Tina, get on that plane with bette! thanks for the great chapter!
Ohhhhhhhh my, the plot is thickening upU have 2 post u just have to…….
*hand raised* I’ll go Peggy…I wouldn’t mind. If it is for only year and the pay is all that…Hell yeah Bette should go…and if Tina is smart she’ll go too. They can look at it as a learning expierence for Angelica while she’s young. Is Tina still at the studio in this story? (I forgot) but if she is she can read scripts over there…maybe even shoot a film. This is a no brainer…but something tells me since this is fan fiction some drama will come with Bette’s hasty decision.
Another nail biter ? Lauren25, you gotta stop killin me! LOL! Okay, I hope Tina will think about going with Bette to London. For the kind of money Peggy offered Bette, I don’t know how she could refuse? That’s alot cash…..I hope it all works out.
“Tina. What does this mean?” Bette asks.”I don’t know. What do you want it to mean?” Tina asks softly. …doesn’t that sound just like our tender, even-keeled Tina from S1? Remember when she cooked dinner for Bette and made her announcement? Damn, I miss that Tina! Her unconditional love of Bette was a touchstone for me, and I’m sure for most viewers. There won’t be enough money in the world for Bette to make up for the time lost with her family. She should turn down to offer, or relocate them all . I wonder if Martin has something up his sleeve besides pancakes and bacon. Thanks!
dun dun dun!!!! ohhh cruel world!!
Tina has to say yes…how could she not? Who could refuse? Not me!! I would so be there! What time do we leave? Love it Lauren!
I think London will be a good place for them to start over as a family. It may help them get over the events of the past. So I think it’d be good for Tina to go along…maybe take a year’s sabbatical, since money is obviously not a problem.
This is so good and I agree with gerrie7 and hope Tina will say yes. Ok post soon please, thanks!
O golly gosh I should hate u for leaving us there….please put B and T 2gether in London or anywhere!!!!
Say yes Tina please! definitly is a big step for both of them but it will help them so much be in other place far away that the place where the problem start! i never imagine that Bette will ask Tina to come with her! excellent!
