“I want her to see a lot of you.”
“I know, you tell me everyday.” smiled Bette, glad that Tina hadn’t forgotten her promise.
Tina walked back to her bedroom to where Angelica was crying for her. Tina picked her up and held her close, whispering soft, soothing words into her ear. Tina spoke to Angelica, telling her how much she loved her, asking for her forgiveness that she couldn’t make her relationship with Bette work. There was so much that Tina wanted to say, so much to tell to the young life that she was holding in her arms. Tina felt the tears begin to sting her eyes and it was then she knew that she should go back to Bette in the living room. She tried to convince herself that today was no time for tears, she had to fight that urge to fall apart as best that she could.
When Tina came back with Angelica Bette’s eyes lit up. The same way that they used to do for her. These days it was only Angelica that brought the smile to Bette’s eyes. Tina wondered how much damage she had done to this woman that only the sight of their daughter brought her any joy, and now she was even taking that away. Now there would never be a time when Bette would get to see Angelica every morning, just as she was waking up.
Tina passed Angelica over to Bette, knowing that this would be the last time that they would spend time in this house like this, with Tina still a permanent fixture. But if the truth were to be really told Tina hadn’t been a resident of this house for a long time. Maybe since the night of Provocations, but definitely since she had met Henry. Tina knew that it drove Bette mad that she would take Angelica when she was spending the night at Henry’s, but she didn’t stop doing it. Maybe it was the final punishment that Bette had to endure until the end.
“I can’t believe how beautiful she is.” whispered Bette in quiet amazement.
“She looks like you.”
“She has your eyes.” countered Bette.
“It’s good to know that something so beautiful came out of…” said Tina, trailing off, not being able to think of something to say that would sum up how she felt.

Geezus wept, Tina leaves Bette for Henry??? that Henry who was in L Word…wtf??? is up with Tina’s brain, her heart is breaking as is Bette’s and Tina’s gonna go thru much more heartache just for a penis??!!! I don’t get it, I never got it and you make it so damned poignant that I AM FURIOUS RIGHT NOW THAT IT EVER CAME TO THIS!!!! I wish I understood the Henry-Tina thing but I just can’t get there…this is so sad…does Tina end up losing Angelica as well??? I think she does…to end up in a bar, a slush, going home with the bartender…hey if I was Angel and had a choice I know which mama I would go to…and I suspect that Angel might be a teenager by now???? oh hell…you bring up such anger and frustration over s3 again!!!
Tina reminds me of a woman I once knew (interesting I used ‘knew’/should be was in-love with so that just shows you do move on after a great love and Bette will/or that’s my experience and opinion)…no matter how much love you give ’em they are just kinda self-destructive, they throw it back in your face, move from partner to partner, breaking everyone’s heart along the way…and eventually do end up alone with nothing and no-one…maybe it’s karmic, I dunno…but it’s terribly painful to love such a person…
my my my…you’ve really got me going…final comment I swear…Just a thought…the whole Tina-Eric scenario with Tina falling for Bette in 5 minutes was an indicator of the character of the woman…we never got to see on the show the ‘7 years’…maybe it was a struggle all the way for Bette to hold onto Tina?…maybe the baby was the last ditch effort to keep them together? Maybe Bette was always more ready for the commited relationship than Tina? after all didn’t Bette propose marriage and Tina turn her down? Maybe Tina’s character was underlying all their ups and downs? and Bette’s infidelity was simply her break-out from always trying to keep things/them glued together and a part of Bette, her subconscious, really knew that it wasn’t a happening thing so she gave Tina justification to actually depart??? and only looking back as in your story does Tina see her own character and therefore own part in the demise of their relationship…oh shit…shut me up!!!!!!anywayz that sort always wakes up far too late….
This chapter actually made me terribly sad, especially since the opening chapter lets one know how this goodbye played out. Well done, please post soon.
CG I don’t know how you manage to make me so incredibly happy in one fic, and then extremely sad in the next. Your writing is amazing, and my heart is breaking for the both of them.I think they both tried to work things out, and just couldn’t. They failed eachother,and both are to blame. I can’t even beg you for a happy ending..I don’t really know what to think at this point. PLease post soon.
whoa ok where is tina goin im confused? u give me lil bit of hope the way u write
This was really sad…If it is killing them this much why are they parting ways? The love is there…the attraction is there…the kid is there…what gives? Rau was right in her last comment…we don’t know much about Tina’s past…she did leave Eric in a heartbeat…was this her M.O. in other relationships? Yes Bette cheated but was this the excuse Tina needed to assist in her cut and run? Keep posting.
your killing me here…
Citygirl there you go again, breaking my Tibette heart. Does it have to be this way? Is there away that they can work it out, and does Henry have to be apart of their lives?
Damn thats hurt so bad!!!!
Wow, this is a real rollercoaster of emotions. I love it, but this one really hurt.
I’m the 1st…. LOL! brb
OMG! Heart breaking! I am so in pain right now. CMAO! Is there any hope for Tibettes fans? I love the way you right, I always did, but you have a gift to make a lot of readers cry!Very good story!!! Post soon! Please, can you give me a clue about a happy ending?
I love the way you write… sorry my grammar mistake.
Bloody hell, that was a stinger, this chapter hurt, full of emotions, liking the flashbacks, really wanting to know what your time jump is, but this will be revealed in time I’m sure. Thank you.
WOW! Can’t wait to find out what is going on in the present!
Great, absolutely great, but get Tina out of Henry’s…. please. TB forever :)
thata was a really good take on the last day together. it would have been nice to see. argh! IC still drives me nuts. thanks.
You have reached in thru my monitor and torn out my heart, I am a true romantic at heart. True love can last and be all that they need, someone pls stop this train wreck. My day is hooped now!!! But tks for posting, no really thanks
Ouch. *sniff*
this is soooooooo sad, so emotional…i agree with seahurst, sounds like tina is leaving not because she loves henry more…i want to believe that they will work it out one day and be together
You wrote Bette and Tina with such love for the other in this chapter that it seemed out of place that Tina would be leaving to live with Henry. I mean, the emotions that Tina was feeling, as well as Bette, it just felt that if Tina believed the relationship was truly over, it was over because they couldn’t make it work, not because she loved someone else enough to leave Bette to be with them. Does that make sense? It was a powerful chapter…thank you.
Oh my! So full of emotions. So painful to read! You write it best girl! Thanks.
Excellent chapter. So well written. You fully captured their range of emotions. I actually felt everything through your words. I agree with Seahurst. Tina is leaving b/c she doesn’t think they can work things out not b/c she loves Henry more than Bette. She needs to be on her own and not be consumed by another person. I would hope that she would develop some true autonomy and hopefully reunite w/Bette. Even on TLW , Tina can’t be by herself.
This was so sad, Maybe someday.the Lword God will smile on us,and the two will be together thanks.
When I see one of these chapters, I am like a moth to a flame. I know it os going to heart. In fact, as I read, it does hurt. Yet I cannot resist!!! When I finished the first chapter, I thought that Angelica would not exist in your tale. Knowing now that she does, your first chapter is even sadder that I had thought. If Tina can be at a bar, drinking too much into the wee hours, has been doing so for along period of time, and can bring a woman home, then Angelica no longer lives with her, This means that your story likely set 16 years or so after the (second) break-up. So sad to think that Tina has been so unhappy for so long, and I am not a Tina fan. Thanks for this and for your other stories. (And, uh, inserting a little prayer here (sorry TiBetters) that Bette has not been unhappy all of that time.)
You can break my heart like no one else.
THis chapter left me with tears in my eyes and little hope that you will put them back together again. No happy ending, citygirl? A real heartbreaker. PPS
