    Author Notes:

    The story picks up toward the end of season 3.

     

    KIT-  “Ok Tina, whatever you want.”  (She winks at Shane.)  “Shane you stay here with Alice and look after everything…”  (Kit gives Shane a look and glances at Bette and then looks back at Shane, who understands that she’s now under orders to look after Bette.)

     

    SHANE-  (Shane nods.)  “You got it Kit.”  (Alice comes out with the baby and Mike takes her in to fasten her in the back.)

     

    ANGIE-  “Okay Tina, ready for the trip?”  (Tina nods.  She looks at Bette and they now make eye contact.)

     

    TINA-  “I’m ready. “ 

     

    ANGIE-  “Ok, we’re going to try and sit you up.  But let’s take it slow.”  (They lift her gently.)  “Are you feeling alright?” 

     

    TINA-  “I think so.”

     

    MIKE-  “I think we’re just going to have you sit on the stretcher here and then we’ll take it from there.  We don’t know what sort of head injury you have, just that it appears to not be serious at the moment.  But I want you to move very slowly, ok?”  (Tina nods.  They complete the move and then put Tina in the back of the ambulance.) 

     

    KIT-  (Kit rubs Bette’s arm and looks at her in the eyes.)  “It’s going to be ok.  I’ll make sure everything goes alright at the hospital.  You stay here with Alice and Shane.  I’ll phone you guys as soon as I get news she’s ok.”  (Bette just nods.  She’s a wreck and she’s exhausted.  Kit kisses her on the cheek and strokes her face.

     

    Everyone stands back as Mike comes back and both he and Angie ready Tina and lift her into the back of the ambulance.  They enter the ambulance after closing the doors to the back.  Bette is standing on the sidewalk with Shane and Alice on either side of her.  As the ambulance drives off, and Shane and Alice start to turn to look at Bette, Bette is fighting a tremendous pressure, more euphemistically referred to as a lump in her throat, and her eyes are intensifying in their moisture.her face is angst ridden and her two friends quickly realize she’s about to fall apart.  Bette’s body weakens as she lets out a sigh of grief and a release of pain.  As Bette starts falling to her knees, Alice and Shane, the latter of whom drops the umbrella, grab Bette by her arms to steady her but they merely slow the descent.  They each grab hold of her arms and, as they all now kneel on the wet ground, Bette cries without boundary, without reason or temperance and uses the tension created by her friends holding her and her pulling from them as the only tie to sanity, safety and stability that she’ll allow during these moments filled with conflicting surges of thoughts and emotions- the sheer pain borne of all these months and the possibility that she had almost seriously injured Tina, the guilt of hurting her by taking Angelica, and in the midst of all of this.the intense yet bittersweet relief to have heard the words from her Tina that had eluded her for so long

    2. This story was incredible (and that word doesn’t even suffice). It almost brought me to tears. If B&T’s actual journey even came close to the way this one is written, I would think IC was a genius.

    4. when i read the first half, my heart broke into a million little pieces and i couldn’t breath, i’m completely downtrodden now. and then i started reading the alice/shane/bette part and it was still heartbreaking, but also funny at times and it was kind of a tears and laughter moment for me. and then the tina/kit and bette/shane stuff, it’s so sad and yet it gives me hope… outstanding writing, thanks a lot! hope you can post more!

    7. This was just excellent! Bette’s desperation and Tina’s fury were completely believable. I can’t tell you how much I hate the ep12 spoilers, if only they would play out this way.

    8. mnj33pp here, my mouth is still open and the tears are still there. That was absolutly amazing no not amazing, i truly can’t find a word to discribe what i’m feeling right now. The way you guys write, the feelings the emotions OMG, i’m speechless. Thank you, Thank you

    12. TMerlin…You are truly are a magician as your namesake would imply. You have to send your incredible story to IC. The words, the dialogue, the emotions, everything about it was phenomenal. They could base all of S4 using this story as the first episode. You can tell how amazing it is b/c when I signed on there were about 850 viewings. I don’t know if you can continue but please try.

    14. this was awesome!! i love all of the ‘psychobabble’ because this is a very deep and complex love….i love how in your story their friends actually lend words of wisdom and tina and bette actually listen to them. hey there’s a concept…please send a copy to IC. show her what real processing is.

    18. Amazing, absolutely astounding. I am left here at work in awe of your writing. You are truly talented. I hope that you will continue this story, please we would like to see them patch things up. Tina and Bette are such great soul mates, I am just relieved that a REAL TALENTED WRITER could bring the truth out in these characters. Seriously, I hope IC reads this and see what a real writer can do. I am so speechless, I will be thinking about your story for days.(I will probably stop watching the show just to read your beautifully written stories.)You have so much passion and depth in your writing, you moved us all. LOVED IT!!

    19. Absolutely wonderful as usual. I sure hope there is another chapter on it’s way. I just have this need for closure with these two. One way or the other, since so far, the show hasn’t provided us anything in two years. Your depth is incredible with these two characters. Very nice job!

    20. wow i’m in awe of your work right now. i’m so glad your making such sense of tibette. can i just how much i love the framily’s involvement and wish so much it could be like this on the show. love it.

    26. GOD DAMN TMerlin this was fucking awesome!!! Do you have anymore pages up your sleeve at this point because I would gladly put the rest of my days activities on hold to read them. I luv how you had Shane talk to Bette because really at this point I think everyone wants to beat the shit out of Bette & Tina so they can wake up and see that they love each other.

    29. OMFG, OMFG…if I were a writer I would have all these amazing words to put down in this comment box so that you would know what power you stories have. All I have to see is TMerlin and I’m salivating…the best thing other than the content is the length, you never leave us hanging..you give us the full meal deal and that means a lot to a reader. I swear I was holding my breath thru the entire 10pgs and that’s about the right length before I pass out…see I told you I was no writer..but I hope you get my point….Don’t know why this came up an anonymous…it’s me Honda90

    32. Wow, that was so powerful TMerlin. What a perfect episode 1, season 4 that would make. It certainly would fill the drama quotient for a season. These two women are bound together by a strong love…now they just have to recognize it for themselves.

    36. Absolutely awesome! I feel absolutely wrung out. Don’t know whether you plan to continue with this story, but it would be incredible if you could take us further and in a hopeful direction. Terrific.
