Tina : “Happy Anniversary, Bette” I whisper it to Bette.
Bette : I am momentarily stunned. This was the last place and day I expected to see Tina. I have no idea how long she has been there.
Bette : “Tee..’
Tina : “I hope it’s OK I came by, I didn’t mean to intrude” I speak softly and gently, I know this is a hard day for Bette. But that is not why I came by.
Bette : No, no, it’s fine. I didn’t expect to see you” I cast my eyes down.
Tina : “Bette, can I ask you something ? When you say something to me, don’t look away, look at me”
Bette : “OK” cautiously. “What are you doing here ?” I ask tentatively
Tina : I just tilt my head, Bette knows why I am here. She nods to acknowledge that it doesn’t need to be said.
Bette : About the other day, Tina “
Tina : I interrupt Bette. “Bette, will dance with me ?”
Bette : I am gob smacked, I look at her with the look that says. Did I hear you correctly ? “Sure Tee” I gently put my beer down. I extend my hand to her and wait for her to take it. I do not hesitate, I pull Tina in and embrace her. We held each other for a full 3 minutes, gently swaying and letting everything that had happened between us wait. The song ends and I look into Tina’s eyes a moment too long. She breaks contact and we sit again.
Tina : “I thought you might like to see
Bette : I nod in acknowledgement of what she says about
Tina : “Sure” Tina takes one.
Bette : “I wanted to apologise to you too, for what happened with Sam. Did she tell you what happened ?” Tina takes a sip of her beer.
Tina : “I’d like to hear it from you Bette”
Bette : “OK. I got bent out of shape because you asked Sam to pick
Tina : “Go on”
Bette : “we had some back and forth about our respective roles.”
Tina : “I see. Bette, I didn’t ask Sam to pick up
Bette : A little sheepish “Oh”
Tina : Bette, how do you see your role with
Bette : “It’s like I said Tina on the answering machine, I see you and Laurel as my family, even if we are not together but I understand it is not my place to tell you who to see and what role they will play in your life.” Tina nods. “It is a conversation that should not have happened in your house or when
Tina : “tell me about your idea of family Bette”

Oh GOD – when Tina said ” happy anniversary Bette ” i just cried. Please just get rid of whateverhernameis and get them together.
great writing by the way :-)
I just started your story this morning and read it straight through. Very Good! The one thing I have noticed that all the fanfic writers seem to have on thing in common, that being, all of you are in the same place when it comes to B&T communicating their true feelings to each other. Is that how most of us are in real life? In every story, Tina has always been the one that is just seeing one person, where Bette is always having one night stands or wallowing in misery,alone. I agree that time heals all wounds, physical and emotional but, doesn’t it also teach us a lesson? If the lack of communication broke the relationship, why do we not learn a lesson from that? I am looking forward to where you will take our favorite couple next. Five stars!
Bette should let her HEART talk and not her brain. Then it will honest and from the heart. At least they are talking again.and Bette will get to see Laural
This chapter really touched my heart. I could feel Bette’s melencholy. I too was surprised when Tina showed up and can’t wait to hear Bette’s definition of family.
Just wondering but why is Bette so soft in every fanfic that I read. It’s very disconcerting. But I guess that’s what you get after traveling through Europe seeing all those old majestic buildings. Anywho’s can we try and give Bette back some of the balls she lost before she made that monumental mistake. I know Tina has become this strong woman and Bette obviously has become vulnerable but does she have to be vulnerable with everything. Great chappy, and writing. btw I can’t for the life of me get the picture of sexy Bette pulling down her shirt with puppy in hand out of my mind. *sigh*
Oh slipperynipple, yes that is a good visual of Bette. I don’t know about her being soft though, she’s just soft when it comes to her and Tina (and Laurel). Didn’t seem too soft with Sam ! Don’t worry, Bette will always be Bette. Incidently, I felt a bit the same way about season 2. I wanted the Bette of old, but I think Tina competes her, hence the softness there. Plus I have a bit of that in my life, so I get it. My other half, is definately the better half !
I meant to say too that Bette had to have some self reflection, who wouldn’t after the end of season 1 ? Travelling and art just gave her something to identify with :-)
I am so in love with your story…gotta go to the next chapter..catching up
Damn now it time to talk and Bette really talk to her don’t hide anything or feeling, just tell her how you still feel for her. Post soon, thanks!
OMG . how touching . i swear i almost cried when tina return the happy anniversary wishes … thanx so much!
i cant comment yet. im so late for work im gonna be in soooo much trouble. just know ill be back and let you know what i think., im sure youll be waiting with baited breath.
Ah the responsibility – first post. Now I have to think of something erudite.
Unbeknown all I can say is that I’m really enjoying your tale I’m following it all & wishing for more – & more importantly recomending this one to my friends. I hate that you finished this chapter hear – I want to hear Tina let Bette off the hook & expliain Sams role in her life & I think if they both get nostaligic & tipsy this evening they need to be wary of getting too close & regretting or backtracking later – as life is filled with obsticles & temptations thats exactly what I can see happening with these two who still have such deeply denied feelings for each other…?!
Thankyou
LOVE IT…..GOOD COMMUNICATION…THANKS
serves me right for writing such a long comment – I coulda been first past the post!
& wow does my typing stink today or what – please forgive idiotic typos – I’d edit if I could!
ohh finally..i hope Bette tell her the truth and shows to Tina that she is still the woman she loves and want to be with..cant wait for next one thanks :o)
Great communication. Tina is reaching out with both arms…if Bette wasn’t so scared she’d find her there.
I loved it–as always your writing is fantastic! I was so glad that Tina came by rather than just called…it speaks volumes on how she really feels, but, I get a little nervous when she asks those loaded questions of Bette. I hope Bette can continue to be open and honest with her feelings and that Tina really listens–and not just with her ears! Thanks!
Nice update. Bette tell her why you came back. No matter what those two have been through or done to each other, the love they have has always been stronger than any obstacle put in their path. Keep going girls, you’ll get there. Its not nostalgia, or alchol, its fact they love each other they always have, and when you love someone that much, it doesn’t go away no matter what. Looking forward to Bette’s answer, be honest Bette.
albeez, I am definately waited with baited breath, you are becoming my measuring stick ! Let’s hear it. UB.
