    Realizing – Chapter 8

    “Okay.” He replies. “And… Bette is your choice.” He says a little defeated.

    “I’m so sorry Martin. I just… I just can’t be without her anymore. I need to see if we have a chance at all.” Tina says.

    “I understand, but I don’t like it. You were supposed to be my last and forever.” He says and smiles at her.

    “I’m sorry.” Tina says again, tears starts to form again. “I don’t know what to say. I hate myself right now for doing this to you.” She adds.

    “It’s okay. I guess I have to start putting myself out there again.” He says with a little nervous chuckle.

    “I do love you Martin, I really do…” Tina starts.

    “But?” He replies.

    “But… I guess… When I look back now, I was never IN love with you, not like I should’ve been at least.” She says.

    “Where do we go from here?” He asks.

    “I don’t know. I do want you in my life, if that’s possible?” Tina says.

    “I’d like that. I could be sort of an uncle to Angelica or something. And off course a friend to you.” He says and smiles.

    “I’d like that very, and I’m sure Angelica would want that too.” Tina says and smiles.

    In day care Angelica is today playing with her friends all day. Carla notices that she’s glancing a few times towards the gate but that’s it.

    That afternoon, Tina is picking her up.

    “Mommy, mommy.” Angelica alls out one she sees Tina walking to the gate.

    “Hey, baby, I missed you so much. Missed me?” Tina asks.

    “Yes.” She replies. Tina lifts her up and kisses her cheek. Carla walks up to them.

    “Hello Ms. Kennard.” She says and gives Tina Angelica’s bag.

    “Hey, Carla, how was she today?” Tina asks.

    “I take it you had a talk with her? She only glanced a few times towards the gate, but that was it. She’s played with the kids all day.” Carla says.

    “She did? That’s great. You had fun today sweetie?” Tina asks Angelica.

    “Yes.” She replies and nods. “See mama?” She asks.

    “Not tonight. You saw her this morning. And you’re gonna see her next Wednesday.” Tina says.

    Over at Bette’s office.

    She’s sitting in a phone call.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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! =)

    4. 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.

    5. 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

    6. 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)

    7. *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.

    8. 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.

    9. “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!

    10. 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.

    11. 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!
