Tina took a sip of her own champagne. “I must look a sight, whew! I have not cried like that since…” she blinked and sipped again. Bette tilted her head to the side, wanting to understand, “since…”? she prompted.
“I meant…I just… I needed that, Baby”, Tina tried again. “I needed to cry. I am so happy for you. I have been super stressed, and I didn’t realize it until just now. I needed a good cry. And that was a good cry Babe. That was pride and love and happiness mixed in those tears and they washed away the stress and worry. Thank you for the gift you have given me today and thank you for being my wife” she said, leaning into kiss Bette gently, before standing up. Her headache had abated somewhat, but she needed a minute to collect herself. “I need to go freshen up and see if I can make myself presentable again…” she turned for the restroom, when Bette gently grabbed her wrist to stop her.
“You look beautiful Tina. Beautiful,” she said tenderly, gazing up at Tina with her eyes filled with sincerity and love. Tina’s heart flipped again, and fresh tears came unbidden to her cheeks. She paused and blinked, her heart melting. God, she loved this woman so much it hurt.
“Bette…I…thank you Baby. I…I’ll be right back” and she turned to go. Bette signaled the waiter to bring her a stronger drink, confused over her wife’s reaction. She nursed the drink the waiter brought and thought about what Tina had said, her finger tracing circles on the tablecloth around the wet spot from the champagne.
When Tina returned, she looked refreshed and calmer. Bette did notice, for the first time, signs of fatigue around Tina’s eyes and mouth and she could see the tiredness in her walk as she moved to the table. She leaned in and took her wife’s hand. “I owe you an apology Baby. You have been my rock and safe place over the last month and I haven’t noticed the strain that has put on you along with your job. Please forgive me, Tina” she asked quietly, “I have been so wrapped in my own…”
“Bette” Tina smiled. “Bette, my sexy charming love…tonight we celebrate the fucking amazing-ness that is you. I am so unbelievably proud of you. You’re right, I am tired Baby…but you are the air I breathe. I am energized just being here, with you. Don’t you see? I was so worried when you were sick because the thought of being without you fucking scares me deep in my bones. You are still recovering, and I think seeing you sick reminded me that everyday matters…”

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….
