“I’m sorry Bette, I’m being selfish, how are you doing?” Shane tried to pull herself together.
“I’m ok” Bette attempted a smile “and you are possibly the least selfish person I know, so don’t you start talking like that”
Shane smiled gratefully “So what are you gonna do about Tina?”
“I don’t know. Obviously my genius plan wasn’t so clever. Maybe I’ll have to try the in-person approach again”
“Want some moral support?”
“Thanks for the offer, but I think this is something I should do alone”
Bette gathered some of her things, and walked slowly to the car. She had no desire to rush this trip, as she was fully aware that there was no chance it was going to in any way go how she wanted it to.
Eventually she arrived outside the house that was technically her home. Allowing Tina to stay in it had never been a problem until now. With them both single, and parents to Angelica, living together had been the logical option. But now…well now, god knows what was happening. Pulling herself together, Bette rang the doorbell.
As the door opened Bette tried to keep a neutral expression.
“Henry” she said with no emotion.
“Bette. We weren’t expecting to see you” Henry said with an equal lack of emotion.
“Well, seeing as this is my house, I feel I have every right to be here” Bette stated firmly.
“The house may be yours, but I don’t want you anywhere near Tina or the baby. Not after what you’ve done”
“And what right do you have to tell me whether or not I can see my own daughter? Or Tina? If anyone has no right to be here it’s you”
“I’m here at Tina’s request”
“And seeing as we have ascertained that this property belongs to me, I feel it is technically up to me who does and doesn’t stay here”
A slight smile emerged on Bette’s face as she watched Henry struggle to find a response.
“Well Bette, we shall have to say what Tina has to say about that”
“Has to say about what…” Tina trailed off as she emerged from the kitchen to see who was at the door. “Bette”
“Tina” the change in Bette’s tone was noticeable.
“What are you doing here?”
“I was hoping you and I could talk”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea” Henry stepped between the women.
“And I don’t think I was talking to you” Bette flashed him her best sarcastic smile.
“Henry, it’s ok” Tina placed an arm on his waist and walked to face Bette “Why don’t you go check on the kids?”
Begrudgingly Henry left the two women in the doorway.
“I don’t really think there’s a lot left to say Bette”
“T, this is still my house. I’ve always said you’re welcome to stay here as long as you need to. But if you’re busy starting a family that I’m clearly no part of, well I feel we may have to reassess the situation” Bette tried to keep her tone soft as she didn’t want to drive any more of a wedge between her and Tina.
“You’re throwing me out”
“No Tina, it’s not like that. But I still need somewhere to live. And this is my home. And is he’s gonna be here all the time…well I don’t think I’m comfortable with that”
“You know Bette, I never thought it’d come down to this”
“Neither did I” said Bette in a quiet voice full of regret.
“We’ll be gone by tomorrow” Tina said firmly.
“I never wanted it to be like this” Bette said softly as she turned to leave.
“I know” Tina whispered as she watched Bette walk away.

oh, i hope things will work out for them both…i can’t believe tina is choosing henry for now
Tina is just being disrespectful by letting Henry stay at the house in the first place, now the guilt trip on Bette. Glad Shane & Carmen are working it out. Slap some senses into Tina will you. Thanks for the quick post.
First, the audacity for Tina to think that she would be able to share Bette’s house, their home, with Henry, and then guilt her when she she couldn’t have her cake and be able to eat it too. What did she think Bette would have done…continue to bend over backwards for her forsaking her domicile and happiness? Secondly, why is Carmen living at the house, making Shane stay away, when Shane and Jenny were the actual/original tenants? Shouldn’t Carmen have gone to her parents to lament the embarrassment and loss of her relationship? Lastly, what are these chapters only one page long? I would love to read more. TY.
why are these chapters only one page, not what are… sorry.
I was trying to be nice to to Tina today but after reading this I want to rip her head off. She has g-damn nerve to be living it up in Bette’s house with Henry and Henry has got even the bigger nerve to step to Bette like it’s his own damn house. He thinks that just because he’s fcking Tina he has rights? Please! This may sound cruel but Bette does need to kick Tina out if she continues to parade Henry around the house like the “Beaver Family.” Also I echo seven’s comments about carmen living at the house, what’s that about? Anyhoot post soon!
this story is hurting, the finale move by Bette was the stupidest move ever and I hated the writers and IC for going down that road and your rendition up to this point is painful but truthful to how it was playing out. Hope you find a way for these two to communicate.
Great to have you back…and you must have got something right, because I am just as pissed at your Tina as I am with IC’s!!!! LOL Who the hell does Henry think he is!???? Welcome Back!!!
Okay, I’m diggin’ this chap . . . lovin’ it even . . . Just let me get somethin’ clear . . . Tina AND Henry are both in BETTE’S house keeping her away from her house. I’m glad Bette finally relized how fucked up that was, lmao. And another thing, why is Carmen at Jenny and Shane’s house keeping Shane away from her own house? . . . Please continue you got me hooked . . . LYLAS
Wow, Tina has a LOT of nerve having Henry there. I can’t stand him. Great story, you seem to be stirring emotion in everyone.
Who in the Hell does Henry think he is. He was lucky that Bette didnt throw him out on his ass. How can Tina disrepect Bette and bring him there. He had somewhere to live before he met Tina Let them go there. Carmen in Shane house what is wrong with this picture. Shane and Bette on the curb and Tina with her Boy toy in Bette home Okay I;ll stop. thanks
You have me in total and complete pain… Tina’s a total bitch, but, somehow, I really want her and B to find a way… Sigh, go Tibetters.
I love that Shane is making some progress, poor Bette. I look forward to your next update!
