“Work harder?” Tina repeated thickly, shaking her head.
“Yes. Don’t you see? When we lost the baby… I thought I had to carry all the hurt and I had to arrange life so that you were protected from day to day stressors. I didn’t share my pain…I didn’t talk to you Tee…about…about how much I hurt, how sad I was. And now…now. You are doing the same thing. I love you, Tee. But you don’t have to keep things from me and protect me from hurt. We are supposed to deal with the hurt together.”
She hugged Tina then whispered in her ear, “my feelings are hurt, Baby. This hurts. I need to go lay down. Come in when you’re ready, please, but I need to be alone for a little bit. I will wait up for you”.
She stood up and walked away without another word.
Tina sat there, stunned. Angry. What the fuck just happened? She never would have expected Bette to react this way. Doesn’t she see that everything she did was for her, for them? The fuck you say. She had cared for her all last week, took leave from work and missed deadlines and meetings. Bette saying that she had to work harder on the relationship was a low blow. Her? Work harder? Really. Fucking Hell. She stood up, fuming and started towards the bedroom to argue her point, then stopped herself. She blew out the candles, finished the wine in the glass then walked into the kitchen to put the bottle back in the fridge. She looked at it then poured herself more and went out to sit by the pool instead. Work harder, my ass she thought. What the fuck does that even mean?
Bette brushed her teeth and got into bed. She was hurt more than she could say. She had spent months in therapy – long, painful months! She had painstakingly and tearfully examined her past actions and behavior and she had not liked what she saw. She had lost herself and she had lost Tina as a result. She had sat in her therapist’s office and owned her behavior. Tearfully, owned up to her role in the demise of their relationship. Change had been difficult for her, but worth it. So worth it. Years of maladaptive behaviors had to be reversed and she was beginning to love herself for the first time.

Hi BK,
Another fantastic chapter!!!
I am so proud that they are talking about their feelings and how Bette expressed her hurt to Tina. She was so right that they have to share and trust each other so that nobody can hurt them and try to come in between them.
I love your writing style!!!
Looking forward to the next chapter!!!

Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Glad you liked it. if only…if only they related a little more like this on the show. Oh well! So far this story has written itself, working on part five now…
Thanks
BK
Another great Chapter, like your style!
Thanks for posting, look forward to more, soon please:-)

Fantastic !!! and yeah that’s true, I found season 6 a little botched, with more questions than answers and that’s why I’m infuriated at the thought of the new show, we’ll never get the answers !
But … good job, please post soon.
SO botched, right? frustrating. thanks for your comment and for reading…
Coming back after some pretty painful but essential weeks – a personal journey with, as your Tina said here, some “good cries” – , finally I’m able to reward myself savouring this new wonderful chapter of yours, my dear talented author !
How I love your B&T !
All the talks we would have dream to hear at this so precious moment in their new connection, all the tender words that were missed here and there – especially from Tina, because for me Bette was always the one to express her love for her more often and, yes, in a much tender way in the show…
Yes, I truly love your B&T…
Taking the time.
Savouring,
And they did (as you wrote it !).
Savouring each other and sharing with each other.
Each moment, each word, each feeling, each emotion…
Tenderness and passion mixed in such a precious way – true love indeed !
I’m deeply touched by your story, BK (Beautiful and Kind !), really I am…
You’re acting like a painter here, with a wide and contrasted range of brushstrokes, here and there – and so you offer to us, true Tibette lovers, a vision of our beloved two to cherish…
Thank you, so much, for this gift !
… and now I cannot wait your next chapter, adding my very best pout and smile *wink*

Sorry to hear you have had a rough time of late, hopefully you are on the other side of what ever is going on! Thank you for your kind words (again) and for loving this story. I agree that Bette was always more tender, and open about her feelings and Tina was more reserved on the show. I am hoping to show that Tina still needs some work in this area, but that she is finally trying. I cherish their relationship too and hope we can all experience something close to this in our own lives…..
Look for the next chapter Friday, assuming I can get my work done this week. It is written but I proofread obsessively and often change the story on the final read through….
Have a good week –
BK
Thank you, dear BK, for your kind words – yes, I did the more difficult indeed.
And I’ll look for your new chapter Friday or later (take your time, I fully understand your writer’s search of perfection !) – it’s a date ;-)
Take great care of you !

That was a wonderful chapter, I love how they talk everything out and think before reacting. hope Jodie really gets what is coming to her. Hope to read another chapter soon.
Thank for reading and commenting! Next chapter Friday, being edited now….
