    Author Notes:

    Echo Park…revelations and questions.
    Nothing is what it seems…

    Tina: II guess I was.

    Helena: Do you
    remember anything from it?

    Tina: I(she awkwardly
    gets out of bed, having not yet adjusted to the extra weight brought on by
    pregnancy)     I’ll be right back.

    Tina rushes out of the
    bedroom and down the hall towards the bathroom.     Helena lies back down and adjusts the blankets
    around herself.

    Helena: (sighs)
    Ah the joys of pregnancy.

    Tina enters the
    bathroom and crosses over to the sink and begins to splash cold water on her
    face. The shock of the dream and the
    emotions it provoked are too much to handle.
    Tina clenches her fists in frustrations as tears helplessly fall. She
    hadn’t dreamed of Bette since she had gotten together with     Helena.
    What was wrong with her? Helena had been Tina’s rock after Bette’s
    betrayal, offering up a much needed friendship.
    Ties with her friends had been strained at best. Bette and Tina’s
    breakup affected everyone in their close knit circle. Everyone leant their
    support, but at the cost of Bette’s friendship, and Tina felt somewhat guilty
    that they had to choose between them.     Helena was an outsider and it felt good to be able
    to talk to someone who wasn’t personally invested in the situation. Their fast friendship soon blossomed into
    something that Tina wouldn’t quite characterize as love, but was deeply caring
    and soothing to Tina’s shattered heart.

    Then why would she
    have a dream about Bette? Why now, after all this time? Because they met for lunch last week and
    talked? Was this a good idea? Should she still tell Bette about the baby? A
    baby that was secretly conceived while they were still essentially together.
    Would she understand? What if she
    didn’twhat then? Could     Helena fill Bette’s role in her child’s life? Did
    she want her to?     Helena seemed eager enough. She seemed happy, excited even, when Tina
    told her that she was pregnant.

    There were too many
    questions left unanswered. Too many doubts left unsaid.

    Is this where she and
    Bette went wrong?

    Tina thinks back to
    the dreamto the memory of their first date.
    The walks, the picnic, the glances, the easy conversation, the flowers,
    the bridge, the confessions, the kissesthe promises. Had theyhad they taken
    each other for granted all these years later?

    Tina: (whispered) What happened to us?

    (TBC)

    4. tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.

    6. You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)

    7. Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!

    11. yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.

    12. So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
