She cried a long time, she cried for her impulsivity and she cried because she knew she had hurt and scared Bette. She cried because she knew she had everything she needed and wanted right here, and she didn’t want to fuck it all up.
She thought back to the night of Provocations. Was this how Bette felt, the night Tina found her in the shower, a puddle on the floor, sobbing? Later Tina had used that moment as a catalyst for a fierce argument… how could you, she had asked.
How could you ask to try for a baby when you had made horrible choices that put our relationship in danger she had asked spitefully.
Bette had tried to explain. I didn’t mean it, she sobbed… I want the baby, I want us. Tina had turned her back on her, walked away.
Karma was a sneaky, cunning mistress and today she was knocking on Tina’s door. Today Tina was the one crumpled on the floor of the shower, insisting she didn’t mean it, that she didn’t know why she did what she did. She was the one mentioning babies and commitment.
For the first time, Tina had real clarity into Bette, into her actions the night of Provocations… the desperate need to show Tina how much she loved her, to make her stay and listen.
What lengths would she go to if Bette had gotten fed up with Tina and walked away after Chicago?
She had been in the shower a long time, so she stood, tipping her head back and letting the hot water mix with her tears and move down her body.
Alice came in the bathroom, sitting on the closed toilet seat lid after yelling to Tina to announce her presence. Tina blew out a big breath, composing herself.
”How long you plan on staying in the shower?”
“I’m almost done” Tina replied, washing her face, sniffing.
“TK, on a scale of one to ten, how bad is your hangover?”
“A solid twelve…”
“Where’d Bette go all dressed like a force of nature?”
“To work. Where’s Dana?”
“Tennis tournament…”
“Where’s Lucy?”
“Putting away breakfast. I like her TK, she has some spunk. We like her right?”

I love you story. The way you pick up on the nuances of the the characters in the show and put them in a different situation.
Thanks SuperK! I am enjoying your story as well!
Leo Herrera??? Whoa!!!! How is he connected to this story? Did he participate in the Helena conspiracy against Bette? And was this because of Lucy’s aid and assistance? There are more twist and turns, dips and rises than a world class roller coaster. I love it.
Good to see Bette opening up to Tina. And its good to see Tina coming to grips with her part in what happened. The biggest obstacle as with all of life is that hindsight is always 20-20. The true resolution is to accept the fact that a error was made and to do all you can not to repeat it. You can never undo that which has been done. So accept responsibility, apologize for your error and work toward doing better. And never, never stop talking. This is the lesson that both Bette and Tina have learned and continue to be aware of as they reaffirm their commitment to each other. It is a remarkable journey for these two that you are writing here.
I love, love, love this story – And to quote Dana “Ditto., love love”. Now I am anxious to find out the whole story on Lucy and on Donna and on Eric. These are characters that are like the energizer bunny – just keep on giving intrigue and drama.
Thank you for this.
Love your Dana quote Martha3128! I love your insights, especially about hindsight being 20.20 and that accepting errors is all a part of the journey. Lets see where this story takes us!
Talk about adding some more suspense to the Eric/Lucy/Mama Kennard trio!!! I like that Bette had been doing some digging into Eric and now we’re gonna see what’s really been up!!
Anyway, Chapters 30&31 have been enlightening as far as Tibette working on their fears & truths. I’m with Martha3128.
Thanks so much BK for the refreshing cold drink of water which this story has brought. Make sure to take care of yourself and refresh your soul as well dear lady 🥰
Thank you DumplinT. Take care of you as well :))
Oh these cliffhangers!
Love the way you are developing this story, thank you so much for posting.
Please, please post again real soon
Stay safe

You got it SG!
BK, that was another amazing chapter. What a fantastic start to my day!
Finally Bette started to open up. No wonder those pictures and thoughts in her head keep her from sleeping. Good for Tina that she didn’t let up and prompted Bette to tell her at least some of the things that weigh heavily on her.
Great how you had Bette at the edge of losing her cool and let the frustration escalade into an argument. But once again she drew strenght from Tina’s words and her touch.
Just like Tina when she only needs Bette’s scent to feel calm and safe. I can so relate to that!
Again after nearly every chapter the wheels in my head starts turning. Thinking back to that evening in Chicago and Aaron’s heart attack. Were there investigations? Was it already ruled out that something might have triggered the heart attack? I think that Eric put something in Aaron’s champagne as well. That caused the heart attack and created enough distraction for Eric’s assault on Tina. He should be charged of attempted murder of Aaron on top of everything else.
It would be a smart move for Tina to get more legal enforcement in Chicago.
The Lucy story gets more complicated, right? Leo Herrera? Now what has he to do with all of it? Helping Eric?
Not so patienty waiting for more ;-)
Happy Easter, enjoy the time with your loved ones and stay safe.
cheers

Hey hey KP, Hope you are having a fantastic Easter. Did Eric also put something in Aaron’s drink and what could be the motive there – so many options. Trying to keep the story from becoming too complicated because I have a tendency to lose sight of some of the details…. but I do like a calmer Bette who is committed to talking and Tina is starting to take a lead in her own role in the relationship. Writing a grown up and more balanced couple has been fun for me. Thanks for your comments!
Wow, amazing chapter BK!
I really love this story! Your Tina and Bette are amazing and a joy to read about.
The others commented already what i thought or would say, i agree ???? with them.
Lucy, she is more involved then she told them, i am not sure if trust her. Leo Herrera, wow, she introduced him to Eric and he was a pain in the ass to Bette and involved with Helena who tried everything to destroy Bette.
Look forward to how Lucy explain this.
Keep save and healthy ????

You ever watch old I love Lucy shows where her husband (can’t remember his name) says something along the lines of “Luuucccy you got some ‘splaining to do” ?? Well that’s how I feel about Lucy in the next chapter. It is sink or swim time honestly… thanks for you comments, be well –
Lucy’s husband’s name was Ricky and your Lucy indeed has NOT come clean. I still dont trust her one bit. Still expecting Donna to come pounding on thei beach house any day now.
And where are those bloody lab results???? Has Bette asked Tasha to keep an eye pealed to make sure Eric hasn’t paid someone to “misplace” them??? I’m anxious
Ricky! yes! As soon as I read it, I was like d’oh of course.
You are correct, Donna is getting fidgety… she does NOT like to be kept waiting.
Ah yes the lab results. BRB I will just go and ask for them…. :))))
Leo Herrera ???? What’s going on, what did Lucy do ? Is she a spy for her parents or what ?
She is a total spy!! Especially when baracuda Mom starts pushing her buttons!!!
