“I want to, but I’m waiting for Bette to ask. I’ve had this mantra going for this whole year that goes something along the lines of ‘I must try and learn from my mistakes’ and I know the hurt that can come from moving back in too soon. I don’t want to do that again.”
“Bette’s waiting for you to make some kind of indication to her that you want to move back in before she asks you.” said Helena, exasperated by Bette and Tina’s lack of communication skills.
“How do you know that?”
“I thought that another thing that you said you weren’t going to do again was presume that you knew what Bette was thinking, in short that you would communicate better.”
“We have been, we just must have missed each other on this particular issue.”
“You know what, I actually believe you, but anyway, what was I saying? Yes, that’s right. Bette wants you to move back in with her.”
“I said I was trying to learn from my mistakes, not that I had every one ironed out.” said Tina, still persisting with her and Bette’s improved ability to communicate with each other.
“I know, but what do you think about moving back in with Bette?”
“I still want to know how you know all of this.” said Tina, smiling at Helena’s impatience over the fact that she still wasn’t giving her an answer.
“Kit told me.” confessed Helena, a little shamefaced.”
“Kit told you? Which means that Bette has spoken to Kit and you and Kit have been talking about Bette and I.”
“Only because we want to help you.”
“That’s something to think about.” admitted Tina, creasing her brow while she thought about how much it would mean to her to get her family back, permanently.
“So will you speak to her?” asked Helena, thankful that she had, at least, said what she wanted to say.
“I’m trying to think of a reason why not, and to be honest, I’m coming up short.”
“That’s good then.” smiled Helena.
“Maybe, and just for the record, we’re doing a little more than just sleeping in her bed.” smirked Tina, as she walked out of the kitchen to find Bette.
Tina searched the house and eventually found Bette standing outside by the pool. She crept up behind Bette and ran her hand down Bette’s spine, causing Bette to shiver.

Great story! Thank you for the happy ending.
yes, great ending. but u will continue writing stories right?
Nice ending. Are you not going to be writing and posting here because that would be a shame.We need to see where these women are 50yrs from now.
I’ve really enjoyed this story. You write very well, and thanks for the happy ending!
This has been a compelling story that I have enjoyed reading. Thanks for writing it!
Brava. This story has just been absolutely excellent, citygirl, from start to finish. I’ve looked forward to every post, and I’m sorry it’s ended now (but not the way it ended — that was bliss); I really, really enjoyed every step of Tina’s, and Bette’s, journey no matter how hard it was. Thank you for writing it, and thank you for sharing it with us all. I hope that you’ll continue writing in the near future. Cheers, citygirl.
Thanks so much for sharing your stories with us. I hope you continue to write in the future.
I still can’t believe you killed Shane! Oh wait wrong story. hehe I just had to make that jab because of what we talked about at the convention. A shame we didn’t get to talk more. This was definitely a big downward spiral that makes one wonder if it will ever stop and go in the opposite direction. The ending went through the roof. Thanks for sharing this with us. =)
So why don’t you carry them into the long future? We’ll tag along. By the way, are you wearing Dolce & Gabbana or is it Armani?
Yes I’m counting down until we get rid of George! I’m always available to answer your intelligent questions. I hope you’ll consider writing again after the season is over. I’ve enjoyed reading your stories so much, digging deep, exploring the pain and how to get back to the other side is a good thing, a very thing good and I’m going to miss reading this story.
You can’t leave us. Thank you for turning a story that was painful and sad into one that gave us the hope and belief in love and 2nd, sometimes three chances.
Nice ending for what has been an excellent, and excellently-written story. I’ve been riveted from the first chapter. But what do you mean, “the last time that (you’re) going to be doing this”? Please keep writing!
cg..You can’t quit on us. I loved this story. Your writing is so excellent. And I love happy endings. But you could continue this story and see how they work through their lives. Please come back after you’ve refreshed or whatev.
I’d like to reiterate the comments made by Tiff_Dike – another one of my favorite author’s; this story was extremely well written and utterly captivating from the get go. I will genuinely miss it.
citygirl..I sure hope you continue writing….we need you in our time of need…which is S4. No B & T at all….thank you for this wonderful story…
Thanks for the story. I look forward to the next one. Great job.
What a perfect ending, to a wonderfully perfect story….Selfishly I want it to continue…forever, yet I know it can’t. Thank you for not breaking my Tibette heart, you have no idea how much that means to me…Rest up, it’s the new year and a new day!!
Wonderful ending and love it. Thanks for the story and hope to see you soon with a new one, thanks!
Thank you citygirl75. I hope you write and share more with us soon.
Thank you for taking us on this journey…thank you for the happy ending…Thank you for sharing your talents with us. It sounded like you were saying goodbye and riding off into the sunset…I hope not. I hope you will continue with some more wonderful stories.

Thank you for writing and sharing this heartwrenching and beautifully written story. I’ve really enjoyed reading and following their journey. Please don’t stay away too long…your writing will be missed.
this was a wonderfully told story and one that i hope to see a repeat from the author some time soon. thanks for this citgGirl and seriously- anything you post, i’ll read.
of course that’s supposed to read- citygirl. i’m travelling so apologies for the typos.
whew, happy ending :) so your life is safe for now LOL…thank you for this story, it was sad at some times and depressing at others but always filled with hope and now we got TiBette back…thanks
A great read. Thank you.
I take it from you author’s notes that this is the last story that you will write for at least a while. I have not always commented because your stories broke my Tibette heart. But I will forgive you because you believe Laurel is a goddess. Please enjoy your break but bring us another wonderful story at your convenience.
Awesome story and please don’t stay away from writing for long. You have an incredible voice as a writer and I’ve enjoyed your work so much. Thanks for your time and creative work.
That was – WOW! So glad they made it – thanks for the happy ending. Please say you’ll be back!
Thanks for the story.
Thanks for your stories. This last one was terrific and it allowed me to get through my work night. I read it in one sitting and you before you knew it, it was time to go home. I hope you continue to write. Your writing is amazing. Lamentamin, on a side note, your comments continue to make me laugh.
Hey C-Gal, That was gorgeous as HElena had to push Tina and Bette towards the full consummation of their relationship. This pair really don’t see the wood for the trees. Just as well that they have such great and supportive friends. Shane and Tina’s chat was wonderful as the familiar relationships blossomed once more. And the final scene with Bette was loving and tender. It displayed the depth of noth the gal’s emotions and how far they had both come on this journey called life. Only one niggle; is this the end of the fabulous fan fiction. Please say it ain’t so. Thanks for the delightful and pleasurable story. Your Loyal Fan.
Thank you so much for this wonderful story. I’ve been following it since chapter 1. It’s a wonderfully written great story, that captured my heart.Many thanks and looking forward to your next one.
Terrific writing as always. Adored the happy ending. Where else but in fanfic land can my favorite couple live happily ever after? Thanks for creating and sharing this fabulous story. Please tell me you are simply taking a short hiatus while season 4 airs and then you’re coming back to us. Pretty please with sugar on top?
Oh yea what progression! I fricken luv it!
You know I really think that this could be a 50 part epilogue, just to cover those fifty years of forever, I know you want to. I know it was hard for you to see the passion of being a Tibette Shipper, but you did it, you got that first story of A Life I Never Meant out of your system and produced this masterpiece, which I believe will be most worthy of a second award for you. So well written and very different from anything else on the site in the way you swung from past to present with chapters, a very unique and wonderful read, its always the first one I look for! And mate… its always a pleasure, and I hope we get to meet at the next convention!
aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww this has been one of the stories that I have totally got absorbed with. Thank you. I hope you will write again.
i really loved this story from the beginning, you could really feel the pain radiating out of tina, but to be honest, i couldn’t wait for the big reunion, every hot detail, but you kind of fast forwarded the story instead, great job anyways!!!
Thank you so much for this amazing story full of intense emotion. You had me glued to my computer. Tina’s painful sadness was very palpable – I’m so glad you let her get her life back together. I also loved your Helena: so generous and likeable, wishing only the best for Tina. If you write another story, I’ll be reading!
Thank you so much for this story and the very happy ending.
Well well …what an awesome story that was and a happy ending too! Thanks City. Can’t it be continued into the future. LOL. Anyway hope that you would start a new story soon!
I don’t know quite what I want to say… this story has been such a perfect mix of heartbreak and hope, a complete journey from awful to perfect. Thank you for the mending and sharing this always touching story… I still say there’s no author who gets quite such strong reactions out of me like you do. Brilliant, always, and beautiful. Gorgeous ending. Thanks again.
Once again an amazing story. I’m always a lil sad when your stories end. I hope that you come back and write again cause if yo don’t that would be a damn shame. tHANKS ONCR AGAIN FOR TAKING THE TIME.
