"Momma . . if you’re here to start trouble . ."
"I’m not, I promise. I just . . wanted to apologize"
Tina raised an eyebrow, "Apologize"
Not a question but just a repeat of what she had heard, to which Katherine nodded.
"I was wrong messin’ with your life like that, baby. You’re right, you’re a grown woman and you’re more than capable or makin’ your own choices"
Tina swallowed the lump forming in her throat and tried to hold her composure. She wanted to remain strong, afraid to get her hopes up.
"Where is this all comin’ from? Why now? What changed?"
Katherine looked down at her feet to hide the tears that had begun to fall, "I just . . want you in my life. I know I was the one who pushed you away the first time and I was afraid I had done it again"
Tina glanced at Bette who had gotten back to work with Shane but the blonde couldn’t notice the distraction in the brunette’s features. It was obvious that Bette was half working and half focused on the exchange between Tina and Katherine. Though it was a serious matter, Tina wanted to smile. Bette could be so incredible.
She focused back on her mother, "Momma . . Bette and I-"
"It doesn’t matter" Katherine blurted out and left Tina rather baffled.
"What?"
Katherine finally picked her head back up with eyes red rimmed and her cheeks wet from her tears, "As long as you’re happy, baby . . I don’t care who you’re with"
Tina inhaled sharply, feeling her heart squeeze from all the emotion surging through her body. Her throat ached and her eyes burned but she wasn’t ready to cry, not yet. She watched as Katherine’s eyes searched hers from some sort of assurance to continue and when Tina silently gave it to her, the words spilled out easier than anyone could have imagined.
"I watched the way she protected you from that woman just now . . I’ve always seen the way she took such care of you, like you were a treasure. I guess I just got scared that if you stayed here, then you would waste all that potential . . all those amazin’ gifts that you had. I knew you were happy with Bette but I felt that you could be happier if you had a job doin’ somethin’ you loved then when the time was right . . find someone that could take her place but I was wrong . . I was so wrong and I’m so sorry for that, Tina. I was always afraid that Bette would hurt you and break your heart in a way that would scar you forever but in the end . . I was the one who actually managed to do that"

great up date.. I cant wait to see whats hapenning to helena when Bette finds her…
So, Helena must be suffering from some mild form of heat stroke, and one of the symptoms seems to be craving a beat down of massive proportions from Bette. Oh well, I suppose it might not matter what Bette does if Tina gets to Helena first. Helena is pathetic, though. She’s not going to break them up at this stage, even Katherine is on their side now. Great chapter, thanks for the post! :)
👸🔫 oh Helena. You are still the bomb diggity Liah. Damn girl, hotness while rockin that crown. Can’t wait to read the next update. Thank you miss Liah 😃
Woohoo, I love the excitement of possibilities! You go girl!
Oh I sure hope that Bette or Tina gives helena the beating of he life and slams her ass in the limo and tells them to lose her on the way to the nearest airport. wait for the next chapter. The peabody’s really need to get out of town. Never thought I’d feel that way about peggy but damn, she is a super bitch in this one. Thanks.
I hope Bette doesn’t fly at Helena like some Neanderthal. She should dig up some pride, ignore, seat back and laugh at the insane woman. IMO it’s Tina’s battle, she is the one to deal with Helena once and for all.
Famn good update. I can’t wait to see what happens to Helena once Bette gets at her. Thank you for this wonderful story.
Talk about delusional, our English lass is totally spaced out! Can’t wait for your next update.
Watch it Helena.Thank you for the update.Amazing story.PPS
Oh Bette kick Helena’s ass please! Lol uh oh Jenny, that just spells trouble
Argh! …. I can’t believe that this story is almost end! And I can’t believe that Helena is playing the innocent party here! I can’t wait to see what would happen to her once Tina or Bette see her. Thanks for another amazing update Liah!! :-) brava ;-)
