Bette: (suddenly)
How’s the baby?
Shane: (shocked)
Bababy? Umhow? I mean, Tina told us that she hadn’t said anything yet.
Bette: Shane, please. Give me some credit.
been keeping tabs on her?
Bette: It’s kind of hard not to, especially Helena Peabody
running the show at the C.A.C.
Dana: Oh, so you know that she and Helena
Dana: What?
Bette: (quietly)
Yes I do. I’ve known for a quite a while now. (pauses) Didn’t she tell you guys? She knew when we met up that I
was aware about herrelationship with
Shane: Honestly, we haven’t seen much of her lately.
Bette: But I thought
Bette. You told us to support Tina. But even we can’t even begin to understand
the appeal of Helena Peabody.
Bette: Please
She’s beautiful, wealthy, likes donating her mother’s money into all sorts of
charity causes to make herself look goodwhat isn’t appealing?
Shane: (firmly)
She’s not you.
Bette: I…(sighs)
I thought that you all got along.
you that impression? Tina?
Bette: No. HIt doesn’t matter who.
Dana: You were going to say
weren’t you? Look Bette, we love Tina,
we do. I think that with everything
that’s happened with you guys and having a babyshe just neededsomething. And
that something is
Bette: I’m not in any position to judge her, Dana.
hang out with them, I swear. They might
have stopped by The Planet twice in the past month, but that’s it.
Shane: There’s just something about her. When we do see them, all
talks about is the baby. I mean I’d expect that from Tina, but not her.
Bette: But I thought
heard that she was setting up house at some beachfront property that you were
once interested in. It’s just so weird.
Dana: Like she’s trying to become you.
Bette: I doubt that.
Dana: Well she went after Tina. Then Tina tells us that
she’s taken a personal interest in the C.A.C. Now she bought a house that you
once commented on. Very strange.
Bette: Strange really isn’t a word I’d use to describe
Helena Peabody; Cold, calculating. conniving are more like it. She makes work impossible.

it’s good to have friends, especially those like alice, shane and dana…but i think bette need to be honest with tina too and tell her, or let the girls tell her
She should tell Tina, what is going on, because even though they are estranged, she wouldn’t wish that she was sick. Please lets get Bette and Tina back together, it just doesn’t feel right that she is with Helena, as one of the girls said she is trying to become Bette. Look forward to the next chapter.
so funking heart breaking…Bette need to tell Tina i know she dosent need pity from anyone but Tina should know they had a history together and still have..i hope Bette will be ok..post soon thanks :o)
how happy am I that you posted!!!! I want you to kill off bette LMAO just kidding, but I will support any story line you go with. do what you want!!! it will make for a better story.
Heartbreaking, but good
OMG! that was so sad I’m just really sad to read of this it’s heart breaking OMG! Please continue Thanks!!
Hmm…should Bette (or the girls) tell Tina about the disease? Well, really only Bette has the right to make that choice; and I think she’s entitled to ruminate over that decision. I would understand why she would choose to keep the illness a secret from Tina (not wanting to burden her ex-wife; not wanting that kind of sympathy when she wouldn’t have received attention or care otherwise, under the circumstances; not wanting to be pitied be either Tina or Helena; mostly, not wanting fear to dictate either of their behaviors toward the other). Ultimately, Bette should be honest with Tina, if she ever wants at the very least a friendship with her.
bette has to tell tina shes sick and she can lean on tina for a change, i wnat them back together.
i work at a renouned cancer hospital. and bette should come here. its works miracles. and from what the patients say and what i believe also, never give up and have a postive attitude. thanks.
It was so heart renching, you actualy had me crying. So well done, this chapter realy took me there, I could see the confussion and the turmoil on the girls faces, going threw the motions of finding out your close friend has a terrible illness. Thank god for friends like Alice, Dana and Shane. I hope this story has some happy times around the corner…Either way I am reading and awaiting the next chapter. Thanks a bunch tibette
Not tell her are are fucking crazy!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!! tina get your ass home!!!!!!!!! I am glad the girls are going too be their for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tina should be told, and handle it honestly, good or bad, your call. I really like the love that the gang has for each other, that is what B needs. If you want, seeing how each of them handles this would be great, from each POV. The journey will be hard, and the outcome is always up in the air. I am MORE than confident that where ever you take this story..it is in good hands. It is my favorite…
Glad Bette decided to tell the girls. She is going to need support during this ordeal. I suppose you have some sort of cliff hanger planned for Tina’s finding out. Well, we’re all waiting paiently for you to tell your story. It’s one of the few I actually follow. Thanks.
This so sad and I cry about it. Glad Bette and the grils have a talk and work thing out!
