“No do. Because when it comes to my children even Helena Peabody can’t make me roll over and play dead. I will not beg for scraps and all the money in the world is not going to keep me in my place.”
“Helena. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” Tina grabs her things and makes a quick exit out the door.
Tina sits in her car for a few minutes not quite knowing what to make of the scene she just walked out of. One thing was for sure; she couldn’t imagine her and Bette ending up like that.
She decided not to see Helena while she had the kids. Helena didn’t take it well but Tina felt it was the right decision. As she sat on the balcony of her beach house watching the sunset on Saturday evening she pulled her cell from her bag and speed-dialed #1. Just hearing the dulcet tones of her ex- on the voicemail greeting calmed her. Hearing the beep, Tina left a message that would change the course of their relationship.

“So, you think I can get Tina from under her will?” Bette asked hopeful that maybe Tina isn’t as enthralled as she thought. They were certainly getting along well when Helena wasn’t around.
“Tina will come to the realization of what a monster she’s involved with soon enough. I did. But can I give you some advice about my ex?”
“I sure could use some.”
“It drives her crazy when you don’t react, so she’ll bait and bait and bait, and if you just don’t take it…”
***
Bette contemplated what Winnie said and knew that her previous interactions with Helena had in fact played right into her sick games. She’d reacted to everything Helena had done to bait her from the time they’d first met in New York.
“You know Winnie, I think we should both take your advice. You said your court date is in six weeks”
“Yes.”
“Can you postpone it?”
“I’m sure I could, but I’m not sure it’s in the best interest of my children.”
“What’s the arrangement now. I mean you live in New York and she’s living here. How often does she even see the children?”

Thank you for the chapter!
it’s hard to comment after most ridiculous final of the most ridiculous final season ever (yeah, i’m talking about final of 8th season GoT). And i must say if we can compare with this disaster – final season of our TLW was not so bad:)
so, after explanation about time where this chapter take place – i’m not confuce anymore.
Zhenya – sorry you were disappointed with GoT finale. I’m one of very few people that never watched the show in the ten years it was on, so I can’t comment.
Thanks for reading and glad the explanation lessened any confusion on the timeline. I’m back to the present; just wanted to give some background.
Hi Bat,
Interesting chapter and a good eye opener to Helena’s character, just because she has money she thinks she can do anything and destroy innocent people.
She is a pure evil and bitch, unfit as mother and i am glad that Winnie has the support of Bette to win the custody battle.
The scene between Helena and Winnie was also a eye opening for Tina and the first step in admitting Bette as the mother of her child.
I look forward to the next chapter!
Bibi28. Helena certainly did exhibit a pattern of behaviors in the way she approached her relationships. I didn’t care for her character on the show, but I think she helped Bette and Tina’s relationship to be better the third time around. Tina was less inhibited and Bette less controlling.
