    Author Notes:

    A post ep series following Bette and Tina, beginning in ep 5.09

    “Then why are you still in a relationship you don’t want to be in? Why haven’t you explained your feelings to the other person involved?”
    Bette looked down again at her hand in Tina’s.  This is where she always wanted to be but so many things stopped her from believing that she and Tina could have successful relationship.   

    “I’m afraid – I’ve been a coward to admit to Jodi how I feel, because sometimes I think that –“ Tina and I will fall into the same patterns and I will have to watch her with a man in our house.

    Sometimes I think that I’ll destroy all that is good in my life with another affair.

    Sometimes I think that I love her because she gave birth to our daughter.

    “Sometimes you think that –“

    . . . I am incapable of loving someone completely . . .

    “I’m feeling this way because it’s what I’ve always done. I’ve always destroyed things that I care for. I get what I want and then I don’t want it anymore.  I feel compelled to breakdown until there is nothing left.”

    Bette looked away and wiped the tears from her eyes.  She was scared.  Scared of being alone, scared of being lost, scared of losing, scared of never having the life she longs for, scared of ending up alone and filled with regret.

    “Bette, do you think you deserve to be happy?”

    Again, Bette looked at Tina, her eyes filled with pain and tears. Bette couldn’t bare to look, and she turned her away and squeezed her eyes tight, her tears started to fall freely. She tried to speak but the words were lost. She didn’t have an answer and she didn’t know how to find one.

    ************

    Tina watched as tears lined Bette’s cheeks. She desperately wanted to be able to stop them, but she knew she was part of the reason Bette was crying on the couch. She wished she could take Bette into her arms and hold her until she stopped, but that type of band-aid solution had gotten them into trouble before.  As Bette began to raise her head, Tina quickly wiped away her tears, and ran her hand through Bette’s hair once more.

    5. wow, this is really good. I’m a newbie, and I don’t think i could top any of that. love your writing. please post more. i’m adding you to my list of favorite authors.

    7. Welcome. haven’t seen your story before. Love how you brought all the hurt and love together. It not an option for Tina to be without Bette in her life. together or just friends thanks

    9. Great story :oD i always love to read this behind the scenes or in this case after the scenes, fics. So much of the processing for these two goes on off screen that it’s great to be granted a perspective of what they have been thinking. Besides it’s getting clearer and clearer we are not going to get much more of them discussing what has happened between them and although i did love the elevator talk and thought it went way deeper than the mere words they said i still wish we could see more of the process of them reclaiming each other back. Anyway, loved it :D and i’ll now head on to chapter 2 :D

    10. I’m breathless – just like Bette. Wow! Fantastic session and processing of the emotions these two have been feeling for one another since the kiss at Shebar. I love how they both seem so lost in their fear and yet rebound with the strength of their love for one another. Please continue the story!

    11. Love this and look forward to your next post. Great dialogue and emotion. Although we’ve seen glimpses, I’d love to see them opening up and discussing their relationship as you have done.

    13. Now that is what I call some good therapy. Time for our girls to be honest and go for what they want, no matter how much it may hurt someone else.
