Kit rallied the gang around Tina and Angie to help get through the crisis. Everyone including Marcus was tested for the possibility of being donors but none matched. Alice started a campaign on her blog and thousands of people responded with no luck. Time was running out; Angie’s immune system was failing fast.
***
Everyone had kept the news from Bette and it wasn’t until she was serving the last 30 days of her sentence that Kit visited and told her of Angie’s illness. Bette felt helpless being in jail but she made Kit promise that she would give her updates every day on Angie’s condition and the donor search. Upon her release the news was still glum as no match had been found. Angie was high on the transplant list but every day that passed without a donor her chances of survival diminished.
Bette didn’t know how Tina was going to react to her being out of jail. She’d discussed with her therapist if they could even be civil to each other and the advice was to not make any direct contact. Bette was prepared to just fade into the background and forever mourn the loss of her daughter since Tina had made it very clear at the trial that Bette would never have Angie in her life but the thought that Angie might die was incomprehensible.
Having heard that Kit their friends, Marcus and thousands of strangers had tested without results Bette figured it was a longshot but she couldn’t just stand by and do nothing. She got the information from Kit about bone marrow donations and tested anonymously.
A few days later Tina received news that they’d found a match and everything changed; especially Tina’s resolve. Bette spent two days in the hospital after her donation and it took another couple of weeks to fully recover. For the month that Angie had to stay in the hospital there was a family member with her round the clock and Bette took every opportunity that Tina allowed her to be at Angie’s bedside. Bette had been the life source for her daughter and there was no way she could keep them apart once they were reunited.
After Angie’s release from the hospital she still had to undergo complementary outpatient therapies for a few months and Bette insisted on attending these sessions as well. Tina didn’t argue and though she had Alice, Kit and Shane for support she found herself leaning on Bette’s strength to carry them through the frequent setbacks during the most critical recovery period.

Thanks for the update. Enjoyed it. I really don’t like this Tina very much. She needs to get over herself.
I loved the update but there is a sadness about it due to the relational situation among the three of them. Bette and Tina have a ways to go in reestablishing trust between them.
Well, I have truly missed your stories and the way you create them. There is a heaviness to the story but I think its because we love our favorite couple being together. This is a story of healing for both Bette and Tina and maybe their healing as they were and can be as co-relational adults with Angie. I do hope that Tina can lighten up as she so much into fear and distrust. She is feeling something deep about Bette’s pregnancy, hmmm I wonder what it is?
Great read my friend!
I’m a little puzzled by Tina’s reaction. Yes it was a shock but the dramatic crying and running away? Is she realizing she won’t have Bette in this paralyzing hold now that she has her own child that she can’t take it away? And what did she mean “will she have a role in the baby’s life?” That would be a far stretch if Bette would consider her as her sons other mother. Love this story, please keep posting.
I am glad to see you are back…love this story!
Great to see that you´re back. Enjoy this story very much,. Not too fond of Tine though.
I love your writing, and most of the story, but that are a little mixed feelings to me.
on the one hand the eternal heart Tibetter really like to Angie and the unborn baby boy again bring together Bette and Tina.
on the other hand, I understand what in the author note you wrote.
Tina’s behavior is not understandable for me at this point. simply don’t understand why there was such hostility toward Bette. Tina decisions and/fears made on the one hand of post-natal depression, but many years of hostility is not!
I don’t understand why they don’t sat down and talked to the situation and started with a clean slate after Bette saved Angie’s life. it would have been very painful and difficult, but necessary!
I hope you find a way to end up to be a family and maybe a couple together! (because Tina’s reaction to me shows that deeply buried in herself, but she still feels something towards Bette)
This Tina is a real BITCH! I understand what Bette did but she has paid the major price for it! Tina needs professional help for her head and feelings. Angie was just sad when she thought Tina was coming to get her. That child will need professional help also after all this. Just let them work it out! PPS
Well well well :-) what can I say Champ? So happy to see few posts from you.
Hahahahahahahaaaaa! I so know this style.
After reading the 3 posts, am I right to say that, champ, you have no intention to put Bette and Tina back together sometime soon if ever?
Why am I believing that?
How can they? After what went on between them?
Tina talked to Bette like a nobody, like someone who was unable to have her own child and that she , Tina, was allowing to feel like a mother she, in reality, is not. Tina appeared controlling, rude and nasty to Bette although, Bette already paid for what she has done.
Tina was showing her power over Bette using Bette’s affection for Angie. That is disgusting, low and incomprehensible. I usually love Tina and defend her, But, I have to say, Champ, you managed to show us a Tina we don’t recognise.
How they relationship can recover from this? Well, it could but it would take a long time. I personally don’t think they can recover unless Tina humbly recognises her part in what Bette did and has an heart to heart confession before they work on their trust and love for each other.
If I was Bette no way I would have wanted to be back with Tina after non only the way she treated her in the kidnapping case but also the way she talked to her until she knew Bette was pregnant.
I know you Champ :-). I know your dislike of Tina’s attitude toward Bette on the show.
I will wait to see where you are going with this, hoping you will make the golden couple so resilient that they will be able to conquer each other’s love again. Am I dreaming? Hahahahahahahaha let see Champ. Wait and see.
I have to agree with others about your version of tina I don’t care much for her in this story but I love your take on bette why is she so concerned about tinas feeling when its plain she dosnt care about bettes pps.
Why on earth Tina even thought she would have a role in Bette’s child life? The nerve (and self-importance) of the woman. I think it’s safe to say there is no future Tibette in this story (thank God), because it would be ridiculous (not to mention disgusting) in the light of three years incarceration and all. I don’t know where you are going with the story, but I want it to be about a woman (Bette) getting back on her feet again, building her strong family around her, enjoying her motherhood and life in general. (with as little Tina as possible, lol)
Also, someone should tell Tina there is such thing as being bisexual, because that “we liked each other, we were attracted to each other, we liked fucking. You were so cool with me being a lesbian.” sounded offensive as hell to me.
That’s was great. Loving this story!
Love the concept of this story but hat Tina. PPS!
Ugh sometimes Tina just pisses me off thats all I gotta say on this chapter
