Remember Who You Are 14
If it wasn’t for the dark on cream skin tones it would be difficult to tell where one body ended and the other began. She had been careful to keep her legs free of Tina’s, knowing her knees would be hurting.
With the sheet pulled lower, the scrapes on Tina’s hip were visible now, raw and angry and it looked like her right knee was bleeding on the bandage again, but Bette was loath to disturb her.
She had never felt so protective, so fiercely defensive towards another human being. She marveled at this moment, Tina oblivious to her scrutiny, sweetly trusting her to be there, to show up for her. This brief moment in time, in the warmth and seclusion of their bed, her awake and Tina slumbering.
Trusting.
Precious.
She kissed the top of Tina’s head, smelling her shampoo and marveled at how strong Tina made her feel. And how scared. She never wanted to be without her again.
She reached behind her for her phone again and did something she had never done before.
She texted Aaron.
She let Aaron know that Tina had been hurt and would not be in today but would be available by email later in the morning. Then she shut the phone off and wrapped her arms around her slumbering wife, allowing herself to be present and drifting off to sleep herself, Tina’s even breathing caressing her chest, lulling her to sleep to the rhythm of their chests rising and falling in sync.
She woke an hour later to find that Tina had not moved, her breathing still deep but steady and her body warm and heavy from the closeness of their embrace. She had drooled a little on Bette’s chest, but Bette didn’t mind. She carefully disentangled herself and went in the bathroom to relieve herself and brush her teeth.
When she returned, Tina had rolled on her back into Bette’s spot and Bette placed a folded towel under her knee in case it bled enough to get on the sheets.
Tina didn’t move, even when Bette covered her with a light blanket and opened the window, knowing how Tina loved to wake up under a warm blanket with a cool breeze. She kissed her forehead, moving some of her golden hair away from her face, tracing her jawline with the lightest of touches.

At least Laurel made the effort of coming back for two episodes which means a Tibette isn’t dead. Cheers for another episode. Long live Tibette✌????
Oh Bette….you have messed in your nest again! You need to stop this immediately….. Why is it that lawyers act really quickly when you don’t want them to but really slowly when time is of the essence? Wow….this is bad…bad
Lovely chapter… Bette really loves Tina a lot. But with all the progress they have made, it looks like they are going to take a step backwards.
As to the announcement? It does not appear that there will be a Tibette in the new series. Two episodes does not make for a reunion arc. And Laurel Holloman has a show in London in July 2020. I believe the filming takes place from early spring to mid fall. So unless she plans on guest appearance in late Season 2, and possibly to sign on as a regular in Season 3, the hope for Tibette is not very high.
Holloman to me is a wonderful actress. But her art work is truly breath taking. She is truly a gifted painter.

Thank you for reading! I am trying to stay hopeful that JB and LH will find a way to bring the couple back together. Right now it feels like it go either way but, for me, the reboot will be a huge disappointment if it ends without a positive arc for these two.
Thanks for the post and for keeping Tibette alive on this site.
Laurel will be busy now until June with the London Exhibition but there may be a break August onwards for a short period of filming. She is a truly great Artist and much as I love her as Tina with Bette it would be a great loss to the Art world for her to resume an Acting Career.
She does one Exhibition a year usually her last was July 2019 in Paris and before that Milan in April 2018. There has been speculation of 2021 in New York but nothing more.
I await seeing her on screen in Episodes 6 and 7 at least they didn’t kill her off!
Anyway look forward to more escapism with you here!

Thank you SG! I have not looked at the art by Laurel, I guess I didnt realize she was so well known in that capacity. I will have to do some investigating online. And yes, we can always escape here :)
I recommend you look at Laurel’s Website for her Art. It is superb.
I have met and talked to her on a few occasions over the last few years and she is a lovely person.

Thanks BK for your Christmas present :-) Another breathtaking chapter.
The closeness B + T share is like balm for my Tibette soul.
I’m irritated about the envelop though. What did I forget that happend earlier? Gotta re-read it…
As always looking forward to the next….. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Kiwi!
I will save you a re-read, ,,,The envelope is from Bette’s lawyer, she has decided to take legal action for the behavior towards Tina at the studio.
Thank you for reading and commenting, as always!
Aaah, yes of course! Thx :-) But that has some potential for a conflict between T + B. Love the journey you’re taking those two on.
Happy Holidays BK!!!
What a sweet and sexy chapter.
Bette has changed so much and they are finally where to should be, connected ???? in heart and soul.
But Bette, sweety why didn’t you tell Tina liked Shane advised you?!
About Laurel coming in two episodes, it looks like it was a fake news. They removed it from the site after a few hours. It looks like somebody played foul by making us Tibette fans happy, giving us hope and then crush our hearts. I will be so pissed ???? and sad that they would play with our feelings like that. To cruel for words.
I went to her exhibition in Paris last year and it was truly amazing. Going to London for her next exhibition. Looking forward to it.
Thank you BiBi! Did you meet Laurel at the Paris exhibit? I wonder if they released the info of her in the show prematurely or they wanted it to be a surprise? Wasn’t there a rumor that Laurel was in LA before shooting the first episode wrapped up? So much speculation right now.
Anyway, thanks for reading, I enjoy your feedback!
Happy Holiday!
