Tina thought back to the night of Shane and Carmen’s wedding. How she had returned to her hotel room to find her gone. A note from Kit and Angus saying that her other mother had taken her. Tina remembered how frantic she had been, how angry she had been at Bette. First the idea that Bette thought that she could take Angelica away from her through the courts and then the idea that Bette thought that it was OK just to take Angelica. The phone calls that Tina made to Bette’s cell as she tried to track down where Angelica was, the thoughts that, as far as Tina was concerned, Bette had blown her chance at ever adopting Angelica. The damage that she had caused by her actions far to deep for Tina ever to forgive.
Eventually Bette came back. In the early hours of the morning she returned. The traces of tears that had run down her face apparent to Tina, and to everyone that saw her return. Alice and Henry had stayed up with Tina through the night to see the safe return of Tina’s child. The look of pure hatred that Bette had given Henry that night shook Tina to the core. She never believed that a person who had as much love to give as Bette could also hate with such a ferocity. If only Bette had realised that it was never Tina’s intention to take Angelica away from her. That day on the beach, after her conversation with Helena, when she had called Bette and spoke about their daughter, the morning when she had spoken to Roberta about how she believed Bette to be Angelica’s other parent. Even through everything that they had been through Tina still believed that to be true.
For days, after they returned to LA, Tina had stayed with Henry. Purposely keeping Angelica away from Bette. Punishing her for reasons that Tina barely understood herself. She knew that Bette couldn’t stand to be kept away from their daughter, just like she couldn’t. In the end it was Shane who brought them back together. An early morning call from Shane after she had been up all night with Bette had told Tina all that she needed to hear. Bette was a shadow of her former self in those days and in the end Tina’s love for both Bette and Angelica won out. Mother and daughter were reunited in a way that made Tina’s heart swell, even now. The most incredible thing of all was the fact that they then proceeded to use Joyce Wishnia to facilitate the second parent adoption that they had always planned.

I’m still here, still reading and a loyal follower wherever you decide to take us…..Thankyou for your time and effort!!!
My God Henry is so boring (as if I had to let anyone in on that)!
Tina really is messed up!
*sigh*. I don’t know, this chapter left me feeling quite sad, for some reason. Even though Tina’s actions and thoughts are full of uncertainty, there’s an air of finality about everything in this chapter. Like it’s been underlined and a page turned. Sad or not, I’m enjoying the story so far. Hope you post soon, cheers.
WOW!!! I am with Jobadge on this one. Thanks PPS
Tina’s confused and I am really sad at this turn of events. Bette is a force of nature and Henry is just an ordinary man. Good writing.
no one can figure out why tina is there and not with bette!!
God almighty, if she can’t answer that question, what the fuck is she doing there?
First off citygirl..love rule # 9!! And more importantly, love this story! Its so painfully honest and tradgically sad – my heart is breaking- I like that you don’t have all of the answers and neither does Tina- so goes life- lots of things remained unresolved in our lives and wind up unconsciously driving us- as we go along for the ride- I’m along for this ride citygirl- thanks for posting!!
oh tina, come back to our side, men are soooo boring
This was great, but I just don’t see any man…even Henry being that wonderful and understanding about the fact that his girlfriend still loves her ex female lover, and being so loving even when she is questioning why she is with him and not with Bette. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this post. Tina has a lot to figure.
Nothing sticks in my craw like an indecisive Tina. Okay so she is working thru what happened between her and Bette…why bring Henry in this if she dosen’t love him (and she’s straight up lying if she says she does)…she has known this man 20 minutes and Bette pratically a lifetime (even more time if you count it in dog years). I am with jp22 this seems so final…but then again this IS fanfiction. Bring us some sunshine City make us happy…or at least let Bette be happy…please no Helena.
This is so not how I want this to go. Tina with Henry, doesn’t work. No matter how you play it, and its one thing I know for sure whether in fanfic or the show I will never accept, and if it continues in the show will probably be a very good reason why I won’t watch it. I’m not saying it never happens cos it does, but damn shouldn’t the show be more like a romance novel, if I want reality I can just open my eyes.
You are going to kill me or send me into premature labor. You sure can write a story. Thanks and post soon..pretty please.
Hmmmm, Bette’s Boobs, or Borings Balls?Tough question…….if you are stupid!!! Listen, Tina, pull your head out of your arse, wash your face, hands, and any other parts this dill- hole touched, and get back to the sexiest woman on legs. Okay, I’m done my rant. Oh yeah, great story. :)
I’m lost – I love your jumping but I do tend to get at times and this one threw me – are we in the present with Tina or some part of the past? sorry but I just got very confused.
Tina living with Her Boy Toy. OMG what is she thinking? She is very messed up thanks
Ditto cdngirl. Excellent writing!
Tina with henrydick, what the fuck is she thinking, poor my Bette. Im with cdngrl and let see whats next, thanks!
Another very intersting chapter. Your writing and dialogue are very well crafted. I think that Tina needs to make a choice. In my TiBette heart I can not seem to see Tina with Henry. Please bring Tina to the answer that is Bette. Thanks!
I f’ing hate Henry. This reminds me of how painful S3 was…and how frustrating.
If she’s questioning why she’s not with Bette WHILE STANDING IN HENRY’S KITCHEN… she might be in the wrong place… Just might.
sweet geezus this is so agonizingly sad!!!!…it’s almost too unbearable to read…which means it must be good huh??? it;s just I hate crying over them, Tina & Bette and lost dreams and hopes…I mean why settle??? if you r gonna settle, imo, u may as well settle to be alone not with a Henry for god’s sake!!!!! Tina…Tina…Tina
Are you absolutely certain that you are not related to IC?! At least with the show I can change channels when it gets all painful and gut wrenching. I can only make myself avoid reading your posts for so long though and then I have to give in and read knowing that I will kick myself in the ass after I finish. In spite of breaking my heart a little more with each post, you still rule!
Uh! Tina Tina … Great writing Citygirl :)
Please tell us citygirl! I want to know why Tina chose Henry over Bette, Helena I understand and even Josh being an ass but Henry? come on! I know IC won’t give us the answers…
This is such a great story, as were the ones before it. The way you go back and forth between the stages in their lives is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to wirte.
