“No, no… wait… don’t pull, wait… let me Baby…” Bette said softly, getting a stool to prop Tina’s foot up and gently easing her shoulders back. Tina dropped back against the toilet and watched as Bette carefully peeled away the bloody bandage, both gasping when the extent of the injury was revealed, bloody and swollen and bruised.
“I think you need stitches Honey” Bette breathed nervously as she brought a damp washcloth over and knelt in front of her wife.
“No…no it’s not bleeding much now, I think it will be ok. I will need to ice it in the morning…”
“OK. Let’s get it clean then re-wrapped, I am not sure I can do it as good as Shane…”
“Yes, you can. Bette, you can.” Tina interrupted, reaching to tuck some hair behind Bette’s ear.
And Bette did.
Carefully cleaning the dried blood off and wiping the fresh blood away, Bette washed the wound clean and reapplied the medicine and gauze with bandages. Throwing away the discarded mess, she gently lifted Tina’s feet to remove her panties, which had gotten blood on them.
Handing Tina a pill from Shane’s bottle, she disappeared for a minute, depositing the washcloth and Tina’s clothing in the laundry then returned to find her wife waiting patiently for her, still sitting on the toilet.
Tina looked up at her when she came in the bathroom and smiled at her so sweetly and full of love that Bette’s heart stopped for a second. She was so beautiful to Bette in that moment, so pure and innocent and vulnerable.
“I love you Baby, so much”
“I love you more than you can possibly imagine Tee, here let’s get these on… your favorite pair…”
Bette had brought her a clean pair of underwear and helped her stand to put them on.
“I think I like it better when you are getting me out of my panties, not in them,” Tina flirted, kissing Bette on the top of the head.
Bette chuckled, “soon enough Sweetheart, this little knee injury won’t keep me out of your pants for very long…”
She settled Tina comfortably in bed and climbed in behind her to spoon again, her arm going immediately around her wife to pull her in. Tina reached for Bette’s hand and placed it under her tank, over her heart. She could feel the steady beat beat beat of Tina’s heart as they drifted off again.

What a nice chapter….they really are mending their relationship. Tina really does understand that running and complying with the wishes of others will not lead to happiness. I find it hard to believe that she went back to Eric considering she really did not love him. She just succumbed to the pressure of her mother and Eric knowing that she would never be happy. At least she loves Bette and forgiving Bette makes a lot more sense than trying to forgive Eric.
I had always pictured Tina’s attraction to men was based on her preference to try something new rather than face her relationship problems with Bette. It was a form of running. Nothing would end the relationship with Bette more decisively than Tina expressing a desire to go back to men. That to me was her sub-conscious thought. Or it would make Bette sharpen her game to try to win her back?. Tina kept saying at the time that she did not know what she wanted. Did she want to end it with Bette or change things with Bette and herself and continue on? She choose the easy road which did not make her happy. She choose Henry until she saw Bette attempting to move on with someone else. It was then she began to remember and understand who Bette was in her life. Tina and Bette have learned so much about themselves and each other in this story. They are truly learning what it means to let the love of your life into your very sole and to disclose everything. Its always painful and never comfortable but necessary to have true intimacy. It reflects the trust for one another. But it also build trust as a result.
Thank you for this chapter….lovely, really lovely interaction between these two.
Martha you are so right with what you wrote!
I agree ???? with you!
Martha
Thank you for always reading, always letting me know how you feel about each chapter. It means the world me. I dont know all the answers to why Tina chose men over Bette – except the OBVIOUS which is bad writing from the creators of the L word who chose to portray meaningless drama instead of portraying a healthy female relationship. Anyway I think it is harder to stay, to show up, to commit and that is what I want from our illustrious couple. Please keep reading and commenting!
Oh how I love your writing! I wish I had the right words to express the emotions I have experienced reading this wonderful story. I am looking forward to your next chapter.
Thank you LEE!
Nice, really nice, thank you!
Looking forward to more so please post soon:-)

You are a Master at painting emotional pictures 🥰!! Looks like Laurel Holloway is NOT the only painter in our lives😍 right? 😛
I like how you haven’t held back the gut wrenching dialog and verbally admitted truths that these two women have realized they must confront and overcome.
Yours is the first Tibette tale that has ever explained so many of the questions I could not resolve in “why” Bette did such&such and “why” Tina did such&such.
You have a spiritual connection with the word “intimacy” and its’ many forms of expression unlike I have ever read!! Anywhere!! These two have come full circle in why & how to forgive themselves and each other. They have finally had the blinders removed from their eyes as to W H Y they respond to certain situations the way they have.
Bettes’ hard work to learn & practice “patience” has really served her well. And with Bette NOT having answers (to what they should do at any given moment) has forced Tina to speak her truth, AND step up and admitted her faults & insecurities have often lead to her own demise, and justified mistrust of Bette.
Tibette is now ready to CRUSH the trolls & haters, starting with Eric! If he tries to blackball her in the film industries she is ready fight back fearlessly!!! Time to go to another studio or start her own I say!! 🍷🍷🍷

Gosh your post was nice to read. Thank you! I was worried I was overdoing the intimacy thing and answering the WHYS is so hard, Glad you like and understand the direction I have wanted to go. You are spot on that Bette is taking the lead and forcing Tina to own and speak her own truth. Thank you for seeing that. Keep reading, keep commenting!
I’m totally stunned. What a beautiful chapter, BK! Thank you for this.
The intimacy you portrait with your words made me feel like I shouldn’t read any further and “watch”
T + B. I would only be intruding a very personal, private moment that I had no right to witness. You know what I mean?
I think they reached a milestone in their relationship.
Hopefully Tina’s realisation regarding Eric and her behaviour pattern will have a positive impact on the way she will handle Eric.
Btw I’m with Shane: “so fucking cute!”
What a lovely comment. Thank you thank you. I think they have reached a milestone too and hope it continues to help them weather any upcoming storm. :)
I was shocked at Eric and Lucy’s betrayal. I hope we will one day get to see Tina confront her sister for her disloyalty and being a homewrecker. If her mom refuses to speak her, I wonder if she has been poisoned by her favourite child’s lies?
I was even more shocked that Tina went back to Eric. It is good that she remembered what a sleaze he is. She needs to stand her ground and not give in to her bosses and tell Eric where to get off.
Bette carefully tending to Tina’s injuries were precious. We got to see how much Bette loves Tina and is so different from Eric. I love the intimate moments. It was the healing touch that Tina needed.
Thank you Jordan, glad you like the story…
Like your other delighted readers here, my dearest author, I just adore the delicacy of this chapter, full of tenderness and deepest trust.
And here, I especially love how you methaphorically brang your Tina falling after a hard run… to realize she has to stop running in her life !
Physical injuries are nothing compared to emotional ones, for which scars are always, alas, ready to reopen…
My, my… each time I think BK cannot do better…
… but BK did.
So beautifully…
Thank you so much for sharing your so endearing talent ! Once more, true Tibetters will always need your own Bette and Tina – more than ever now :-)
Gratefully yours – A.
Therese,
You have stolen my words and expressed them better than I
DumplinT,
Thank you for the nice words !
Oh, I’m sure you expressed it the same way in your TiBette heart *wink*, because I always appreciated your comments,,,
I wish you a very beautiful and happy year ! :-)

Absolutely the best chapter of any story I have read about the heartwarming, constantly evolving, passionate, mature, truly loving, relationship between Bette and Tina. Adding to the backstory of both and opening up to each other has solidified and immensely strengthened their bond. This chapter really touched my heart. That says a lot for a writer of fiction, I think. Great job, BK! You are definitely a favorite author of mine!
