Kit: “Hey sis, it’s me, Tina is awake and asking for you.”
Bette: “Just leaving now.” And I make my way to the hospital and an uncertain future.
At the hospital
I arrive and hurriedly make my way to Tina’s room. She is there with baby Jennifer and Laurel on the end of the bed. Kit is sitting in the chair where I’d been sleeping. I walk in and pick
Kit: “I’m going to go and give you ladies some privacy.” I kiss Tina and then Bette. I offer to take
Bette: For the first time we are alone, a complete, almost complete family.
Tina: “Would you like to hold your daughter?”
Bette: I reach out and take her. She is beautiful and so small. It scares me. “She’s beautiful” and Tina just nods. Suddenly I remember our situation and I give Jennifer back to Tina, unwilling to become too attached. There is an uneasy silence.
Bette: “How are you feeling?” I say to Tina.
Tina: “Truthfully, exhausted.”
Bette: I nod, unable to really fathom it, having never had a child. “How long will you be in the hospital?”
Tina: “A few days, no more.” And I nurse Jennifer. I do not look up as the next words come out of my mouth, “Bette, do you want me to come home?”
Bette: I am momentarily lost for words, no, yes, no, yes, I don’t know, “where else would you go? Shit, that didn’t come out right, that’s not what I meant..” And I look down “I don’t know the appropriate thing to do.”
Tina: “It’s OK Bette.”
Bette: “I don’t know Tina. I think you should come home and we should try and work out what we are going to do.”
Tina: “Going to do?” I enquire.
Bette: “Yes, what we are going to do. It’s obvious that you are not satisfied with where things are at.”
Tina: I pat the bed inviting Bette to sit on the side of it. She doesn’t move. “Please.” Bette slowly makes her way to the side of the bed. “What do you want Bette?”

Glad everybody was civilized, but that had to suck for all parties. Doesn’t seem anybody knows which end is up. One way or the other, something’s got to give.
hate all this drama influenced by s3…i love this story, but it’s getting too dramatic, i wonder what happened in the last 9 months, why tina suddenly is into men thing?
I’m impatient to learn more about Janice, is she a Janice to the rescue or a way out Janice… I would sell my mother to be in Bette’s mind… or maybe yours. C’est toujours un plaisir de te lire unbeknown ;
Damn, Tina is killing me! I know that Bette’s temper has gotten the best of her in the past but I hope she has the mother of all explosions and in no uncertain terms tells Tina exactly what it is she wants…because it looks like Tina’s not going to be giving Bette any incite. Regardless, your story and writing rocks, Unbeknown!
ok, I’m having anxiety here!!!
I’ve loved this story from the start but just like in the show I have to wonder what the heck is tina thinking! At least they were civil to each other.
Well written chapter as ever and I really want to read more, assuming that you are going to kiss it and make it all better again soonish. Please?? You’re killing me here. Thanks for writing but don’t leave us hanging too long though. *Looks hopeful and slightly lost*
Ouch. Their inner thoughts showing makes it interesting. I hope there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but can’t wait to see the next one. (Merlin)
Ok, now I understand what you mean, héhé, you’re a star unbeknown ;-) Al
Stepping outside the maternity ward to call your potential girlfriend? Aw hell naw, Bette! That is just too trifling for words, I don’t care what is going down with Tina!
bring on the drama…I can handle it….If we can handle S3..you just help us along. Great chapter….
you can write the drama with the best of them – but you write very well about the emotional realities underneath- so what is Tina’s reality underneath pray tell??
I love Tina’s double standard, she asks Bette to sit close to her, asks her what she wants, gets Bette’s heartfelt answer then can’t answer that question for herself? Why is it OK to ask Bette that question when you don’t have a clue what you want? I won’t buy that its the hormones. This Tina has a streak of hate for Bette and that could kill Bett bit by bit.
Tina needs to get her head out off her ass and NOW or she will lose Bette, but maybe that is what she think she wants?????
Unbeknown,They do say that it is darkest before for the dawn but this feels so heartbreaking. I believe that Bette and Tina belong together and hope that this latest aberration will be short lived. There is no fight in Bette which is most disturbing thing. Thoroughly depressed and tearful. Please continue and create some levity in my life. Your Loyal Fan.
seeing Tina to the men thing let me think that we have a long way to go for our feelings.i’m in to women and seeing Tina back to men hurt me a lot ,that make me feel wrong.i’m sad very sad and i hope more happiness and more honesty and love.i want my Bette and Tina back please give us some hope
Damn this is sad and drama coming!
