    Author Notes:

    Sharing the pain…and the joy.

    Bette took a deep breath but didn’t look at Tina, she responded with a weak whisper.

    “Tina…I want to share some of this with you…I just don’t want you to know what damaged goods you’ve got.”

    Bette paused and looked at Tina with fresh tears in her eyes.

    “Tina…I’m afraid if I let you see how weak I can be …that…you won’t feel the same way about me.”

    Tina leaned down and looked deep into her eyes and spoke with honesty and conviction.

    “I could never love you less, ever.  All of the things that make you you are things that I cherish.  The good, and the bad, Bette.  I love that no one but me gets to see the softer, more vulnerable side of Bette Porter.  I cherish that when we’re alone you feel safe enough to lean on me sometimes and you let me hold you and comfort you.  Babe, you understand don’t you?”

    “Yeah, I do and love the way it feels to just fall and know you’re there to lift me up…T, I’ve never had that before…Ever.”

    “Bette, what do you mean by ever?”

    Bette looked at Tina and then looked away and started to speak.

    “Tina, when I was five my mother…she just left…Tina it was so horrible.  I spent most of my time just sort of waiting for her to come back, and Tina the holidays were the worst.  I’d get myself so worked up that she’s surprise me and come home.  When it didn’t happen…Tina…it always felt like…Tina…”

    Tina held Bette as tight to her as she had ever held anyone.  The tears streamed down her face as she felt the pain of the one she loved.  Bette sobbed into her for several minutes until Tina whispered into Bette’s ear.

    “You thought I wouldn’t come back to you…”

    “Tina, this is the first time I’ve let someone get this close…I am so afraid…of having to live through that kind of pain again.  I’m so afraid of wanting it all…and of um… not getting it.”

    “Baby, we have it all…you just have to embrace it…Baby I’m not going anywhere, I promise.”

    Tina leaned down, took Bette’s face in her hands, and kissed Bette tenderly on the lips.  She looked into Bette’s eyes and said.

    6. “You brought me Christmas.” CUTE! :) Bette is rather complicated isn’t she? JB said she choose her to play because she (Bette) was so troubled. Troubled and completely disfunctional are two different things. Thank God she was sane. She simply has her moments. Mostly insecurity shows up from time to time. Which manifest as fear. I’m glad in the series we were able to see Bette grow out of some of it in the end.

    15. I thought we were done with heavy stuff??? What happened to Bette in her childhood is terrible.Tin is the rght person to take away this hidding fear of Bette. PPVS

    17. That was so moving. Bette is so fortunate to have Tina in her life. She has finally found someone who loves her enough to go through her pain with her and help her to heal. Thanks for this amazing update.
