Bette: “OK, OK, I get it” feeling stupid and childish.
Kit: “Tell her you get it and Bette, sooner rather than later.”
I spent the rest of a cool afternoon painting the scenery on the beach and I really have enjoyed painting again. I was just starting to get worried when I heard Tee pull in. I go over to the car and give her a hand to get the girls out of their seats. Both of them are sleeping. We take them inside and put them into their bed and cot without a word to each other. I retire to our bedroom to rest myself. This had become our habit in the late afternoons, as a result we rise late and go to bed late.
Tina: I make my way to the bedroom. “Hi”
Bette: “Hi, how was it?”
Tina: “It was OK” truth was, it lacked a fair bit without Bette there. “I see you were painting.”
Bette: “I thought it would be nice to have a painting of the scenery when we get home.” And there is silence with polite conversation having run out, the mention of home no doubt didn’t help. “I missed you.” I say softly.
Tina: “I missed you too.”
Bette: I smile a little knowing she missed me. “Tina, can I ask you something?”
Tina: “Yes”
Bette: “Have you spoken to Helena or Sam since we’ve been here?”
Tina: I could bloody well kill Bette, the idea was to be moving away from this stuff. “No” I say rather defiantly. "Honestly" I say exasperated.
Bette: I sit up on the bed and face Tina who is laying on her back and looking at the ceiling. I clear my throat. “Tee, I believe you and I know that you only want to be with me. I’m sorry. I was jealous and insecure. I know that I do not need to be. I hope you will accept my apology.”
Tina: I think about what Bette has said and I have no desire to be angry with her, in fact I am not really even angry, I just believe she has to sort this out for herself. “Are you just saying that so we can be on good terms?”
Bette: “No, absolutely not, you have my word Tina.” I say seriously. “I was being an idiot and you were completely 100% right. I had to sort this out for myself, we have to completely trust and believe we want to be only with each other.”
Tina: “I see.” And I make Bette work just a little harder. If she is bullshitting, she will soon lose patience.
Bette: “I want to be with you and I believe you want to be with me. I want to trust in us and that we can make us work when we get back to LA. We have to believe that Tee.”
Tina: I always did love Bette’s passion, that is what makes Bette, Bette. “I won’t say this again Elizabeth Porter.” I sit up and raise both eyebrows at Bette. “I love you, and only you and I only want to be with you and raise our children together. I hope you never have to question me again on that. Are we clear?”
Bette: I love the new, strong, determined Tina. “Very.” As Tina reaches out to stroke my cheek.

Another wonderful chapter ,hope its not the end
you stopped writing for months and when you finally decide to post again, it reminds me very clearly why I was wandering here in the very first place, looking for every new chapter of your first story, you are a STAR, a 100% prodigious big star writer. One more thing, thru your stories, you considerably helped me to improve my english, maybe one day, I’ll give you a call, just to say “thank you” unbeknown (first I need to learn how to say unbeknown). Merci :-)
Love this story and your beautiful writing.
Woohoo! I love it. I am with Bailey I hope your not posting frequently to wrap this story up… I hope they still plane on talking to Laurel. It’s sad that she has had to deal with this and even witness some of the fights her parents have had. Hopefuly Tina and Bette will learn to argue when the kids are not around or at least keep theire voices down when doing so. Thanks a bunch.
I like this Tina also. She is strong and yet gentle also. She is passionate and loving towards Bette. Both have made major mistakes and both need to show each other without question how much they do love one another.
Thank goodness that ended well…I was sweating for a minute. This has always been a favorite story of mine…please keep posting.
wow im so happy to see your story continue… i loved these chapters you have a passion for writing and im really honored to be allowed to read you work its amazing as always thanks again
Wow this is amazing and glad thing work out. OK post soon please, thanks!
I am giddy. Two great chapters in one night. I hope your frequent posting is due to your passion for writing and not an attempt to wrap up this story quickly. Your story makes me smile. Thank you.
WOW!!!! Two chapters in one night. Thank you I glad that Tina and Bette are making there life together. PPS
at last, Bette and Tina really sorting out what’s really important as opposed to what’s pure distraction…please continue
What would the show be like if these two women talked the way you have them talking? I would be really happy.
I think it’s quite normal for Bette to have that insecurity. Tina conceived Jen when Bette’s away. She had no intention to include Bette in the family picture. Didn’t Tina hold back in some sense? Why can’t she just answer Bette’s question and talk to her directly?
oh good, i can understand bette insecurities though, but it’s great that they worked it out
What a journey it’s been unbeknown. Great chapter.I’m glad Bette’s asking these questions.If these are the questions she needs to ask to get over her insecurities, then fine by me. I know Tina’s annoyed,but she understands(or she should). Post soon.
wonderful! and you didn’t make us wait! i like so much that they can move in this, i hope they can come to LA soon
Thanks unbeknown. I really need to go back aways and read some of the older chapters because i’m getting fuzzy around the edges on the exact plot of your storyline…. but for now i’m happy
So wonderful. Bette is a dolt sometimes.
I was so happy to see another chapter. Bette, deep down she’s just a big baby like the rest of us. Nice to see them actually talking, and boy is she lucky Tina understands her so well.
