    Author Notes:

    Some more Girl Talk and a piece of Tina’s past is revealed

    Previously

     

    Bette: I know. But I didn’t want to tell you over the phone like that. I didn’t know how you would feel. We hadn’t seen each other in

     

    Alice: (interrupts) It doesn’t matter. None of that matters anymore. As far as I’m concerned, what we discussed is the past. (She reaches across and takes Bette’s hand) I want you to know that thirty years could have gone bywe could have all been sitting in different retirement homes all gray and wrinklyand I’d still want to know. Because we’ll always be friends, no matter what. Do you understand me?

     

    Bette: (smiles briefly) I think that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me, Alice. Thank you.

     

    Shane: That goes for me too.

     

    Dana: And me.

     

    Bette: I’m very lucky to have friends like you guys.

     

    Shane: And we’re luck to have you too, Bette. Please believe that.

     

    Dana: (suddenly) Oh my Godwhat about Tina. Have you told her?

     

    Alice: I didn’t even think of that. Bette

     

    Bette: (quietly) I’m not going to tell her.

    Chapter 13

     

    Alice: What, how could you say that. You HAVE to tell her.

     

    Bette: Actually Alice, I don’t.

     

    Shane: But I thought things were good between you two.

     

    Bette: They are.  Listen I have my reasons. (pauses) Now I want youall of you to promise me something.

     

    Dana: (warily) Promise you what?

     

    Bette: Promise me that you won’t tell her.

     

    Alice: (concerned) Bette

     

    Bette: (interrupts) Please, it’s important to me.

     

    Shane: But why, Bette?  If you don’t think she’ll be concerned, you’re wrong. She cares about you very, very much.

     

    Alice: I know it doesn’t seem like itwith Helena in the picture.  But she misses you.

     

    Bette: I’m not going to do it.

     

    Dana: (confused) Do what?

     

    Bette: Upset Tina, by telling her. (pauses) Not now. Not when she’s pregnant. I can’t I won’t do that to her. It won’t happen. Not again.

     

    Alice: What won’t happen?

     

    Bette: I won’t let Tina lose her baby.

     

    Shane: Bette, that’s not going to happen.

     

    Alice: Tina’s healthy, there’s nothing wrong

     

    Bette: This would upset her.  I won’t risk her health or the baby’s by adding unnecessary stress to her life.

    2. GGGeezzz..i know Bette is not looking for pity but i really think she have to tell Tina..if she dosent know she will feel betrayed and not just by Bette but for all of her friends too..great sad chappy post soon thanks :o(

    3. Great update. So sad, but you are doing an excellent job. Your question about longer chapters further apart, or shorter chapters closer together…I for one would like them close together. I love to read all the time so the more there are the more I like it. lol. Anyways, I hope you post soon. Looking forward to more!

    4. i thik tina needs to know whats happening to bette,and if they do reconcile tina would be coming back to bette out of love not pitty. i still think tina still loves bette she’s justhurt because bette cheated.

    5. What a sad but beautiful story…I hope Tina sences something wrong with Bette due to the fact they have a special connection… then I hope she stands by Bette to see her threw this…Thanks a bunch for posting and too your question about chapters…you keep writing and I will keep reading regardless…Awaiting the next chapy.

    6. Please continue and dont take too long! ;) Great update..hard decision to not tell Tina..although i think she will soon find out. Friends are great and all they will be there for Bette every step of the way but they are not Tina and thats what B really want and need to go thru with this.

    7. I like the changes you made to the original story line (Andrew and Provocation finale); both lend themselves well to this story. I can’t wait to see Tina’s presence with the group and with Bette. Will the former wife be able to tell that something’s terribly wrong with the love of her life or will she still be mired in pain to notice?

    8. Just a little something to think about. I know it’s your story and you have a plan but a friend of mine was diagnoised with cancer four years ago she wasn’t even 20 yet. The good news is last week the docs say she’s clean. happy endings do happen.

    12. Tina cares for Helena and is in a relationship with her. There is no Bette and Tina. Bette’s only real obligation to Tina is management of their financial assets until they are divided, assuming the legal separation/disolution occurs. If Tina knew she’d come to Bette out of obligation, guilt(Andrew or leaving Bette) or pity. Tina would be stressed during the pregnancy. Kit and the girls can give Bette the support she’ll need during her recovery(don’t kill her). Tina will find out from Helena, because it’ll probably come up at the CAC.

    13. I still thinks she’s fucking crazy for not telling her but!!!!!!!!!!! But I understand her thinking of tina, the baby. But it also is a way protect herself too because when tina finds out it will be real and she will have to deal with that and nobody can do denial as good as bette porter.

    15. Good story and hope Bette will tell Tina soon, this is time that Bette need Tina and please let them get together soon. Ok post soon please, thanks! I just read all of your chapters and is very excellent and awesome, and I love it. Hope you post soon, thanks!

    17. yes, please continue, i think bette should tell tina, because if teatment won’t work and tina will find out, she will be more upset that she didn’t spend much time with bette
