The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Twenty Five
“I know and I’ve taken advantage of that before and I’m trying not to repeat the same mistakes that I’ve made before.”
“I’ll do you a deal. Keep asking and if I ever feel that your taking it too far, I promise to tell you.”
“I think that’s a deal.”
For a few minutes Bette and Tina both sat in silence, watching their daughter, content to keep their own counsel. Tina looked briefly back at the house to see Helena standing outside watching the three of them. Maybe she was right all along, this was where Tina was supposed to be, with her family.
“I can’t believe that you and Helena are so close now.” said Tina, laughing at the battles that they had fought when Tina and Helena were together.
“She’s a good person, almost too generous and she loves Angelica and Angelica loves spending time with her”
“It must have been all that early exposure.” giggled Tina, taunting Bette into a response.
“I bet the exposure wasn’t as good as the afternoon after the ultrasound.”
“I don’t kiss and tell.”
“I know that it didn’t work out how we wanted it to but I’m still glad that you came back, after Angelica was born. That we got at least some time to be a family.”
“I’m glad too, and I know you said that you don’t have any regrets but I hate the way that I treated you. When I think back now I barely recognise myself, you must have hated me, the way that I flaunted Henry in your face.”
“You know it wasn’t hate that I felt, it was more disappointment and this great sense of being let down by you. You said that you wanted to come back to me and I thought that you meant for good, that things might not have been forgotten but you had, at least, started to forgive me. I never thought that it would be so hard, and then I felt like you were punishing me….”
“I was punishing you, and not just for the carpenter but for all the things that I did that made me feel bad about myself. It was so easy to justify all of my actions by blaming it on the affair. Helena, the money, the adoption, everything that didn’t go as I thought it should I made out to be your fault. I moved back in too quickly, but I wanted to be with you and I let myself be blinded by that.”

Perfect, absolutly perfect. Tina admitting she still has issues to deal with, Bette letting her know that no matter what she’s there. Angelica well she’s a bit of both of them, and apparantly the best part. Hopefully they take it nice and slow and work on becoming the family they should be.
Thanks for posting again so soon. What a wonderful surprise! The expressions you convey in your writing just makes every post a pleasure to read. Thanks so much for writing! (PPS)
Yippee! Tina found her brain! And it’s not completely pickled! The goddess of romance smiles upon us all. And given that, I have to refute Madcapper (sorry, Madcapper) but this sea of love shall cure the girl child. And someday, no doubt, if she is her mothers’ daughter, she’ll get wet. But that’s another story.
I love this Bette…Tina seems really sincere I hope she is. Please let them get this together and be the family they want to be.
totally awesome writin….i love this fic…..it makes my heart warm after the last 2 seasons of the lword….thanx
Bette is so loveable and sweet in this story, Having Angie all this time has done her a world of good. Maybe between, Angie Helena and Bette they can get the loveable caring Tina back. Angie and Bette needs her. thanks
Great chapter, cg. Excellent. And, hee: Angelica building a moat. Post soon.
Great story
Enjoy I did. Thanks for another well written chapter.
oh happy times!!!!! keep them coming
I am so happy…I hope you have Tina pull this off and we get the “old” Tina back. Thanks for the updates and this great story
Awesome that was beautiful and love it!
Beautiful, Tina reuniting with friends and family. I’m so glad she seems to be getting better after all this pain! Love your writing, thank you.
aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……………finally I can breathe…more….
This Tina I can like because she is finally taking responsibility. Bette is good for doing what she is doing but love is love no matter what.
Wow, your Bette is incredible… so calm, warm, forgiving, and loving. No wonder Tina is second-guessing her choices… Bette must have been quite the mother to Angel for her not to carry any blame towards Tina. Angel does take after Bette in that way… Thank you, citygirl… for your beautiful writing.
Sounds like a start to a new beginning (as some form of a family). Now Tina just has to stick with staying sober even if she falls off the wagon a time or two.
Lovely! Just perfect.
Two words: Fucking Brilliant!
Wonderful…wonderful…absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks!
Nicely written, very poignant reunion . She’s got a support system all around her, now Tina needs to be able to be strong enough to stay on the wagon. Thanks for posting another chapter so soon.
So much packed into so little words….your amazing!!!
precious!!
Oooh that was a lovely re-union! I love this. Glad that Tina is getting some sense into her head.
Holy cow, that was awesome! This story has come full circle and keeps getting better.I don’t think I have come as close to shedding tears as I have on this reunion. Bette is amazing. I don’t think I could be half as understanding as she is! Thank you for this story!PPS
Once again it’s so good I can’t wait for me. I have a feeling Angelica’s need for therapy will come later, those pesky teen years. It’s good to see Tina taking responsibility.
Happy New to C-gal75, I do apologize for lurking lately but now that the festive season is over I am catching up with all these wondrous stories. This is a brilliant example of how connect Bette and Tina are; even when they are apart there is a longing between them. They may choose to ignore it but it will eat away at them until they re-unite. You have really captured the sense that Tina is now ready to take on her demons and defeat them from herself. Then she can look towards bonding with her daughter and re-igniting the flame of her life with Bette. What makes this tale stand out is the level of depth you have givem the past; all those mistakes and missed opportunities have brought them all to this time. I want to see it work. Thank you so much for these magical words. Your Loyal Fan.
“Come here” – the two sweetest words in the Tibette world…
