    Walk On By—Chapter 1

    ”Tina? Is Angie ok!” I ask panicking and I’m quickly calmed by her answer

    ”Oh God Bette I’m sorry. I didn’t realize the time it would be there. Angie is fine. I was calling because…Sighhh….Uhmmm”

    Tina obviously had something serious she wanted to say and the way she is acting I know her well enough to know I’m not going to like what I hear.

    ”What is it T?..You are making me nervous” I say as I hear silence on the other end then a sigh

    ”Bette?…Henry asked me to marry him….and uhmmmm….and I said yes”

    I froze only to have my hand bring my glass of wine to my lips and in one quick movement gulped down the remaining contents.

    ”Bette?…Are you there?”

    ”Uhmmm…Yes…T…I’m here…I guess congratulations are in order….That’s uhmmm…That’s great”  I wasn’t a great liar and I’m sure I didn’t sound convincing but I should be happy for her..I mean this is what she wanted..She cheated on me with Henry and left me for him…I shouldn’t have expected anything less. I had done my share of damage with my indiscretion with Candace but I thought Tina and I would find our way back..I guess there was too much carnage left in our wake to do so…I am happy we are civil and being the best possible moms we can be to Angie and if this is what Tina wanted then I would support her.

    ”Thanks…I wanted to tell you before I told the family…The wedding is going to be in September and I would really like it if you could be there. Angie is going to be the flower girl….I really hope that you bring Jodi…Angie talks a lot about her and I want to meet her so please say you’ll come”

    How could I say no.  Tina sounds so sincere and I want nothing than to move forward. I can do this.  I can be happy for Tina…Jodi makes me happy and I would love everyone to meet her..Alice and Kit have met her and instantly liked her….Yes I can do this…I’ve come a long way to get where I am…It’s time.

    ”Wow that’s only a few months away….But of course T….I would love to come…I do want you to meet Jodi…And I want the family to meet her…She’s very important to me and we have gotten really serious”

    1. Thank you for writing. I must confess that this story literally made my heart hurt. I love Bette and Tina so very much as a couple – probably now more than ever – and while I can handle all sorts of drama – having them with other people – especially this nightmarish pairing off is just too painful for words. A story featuring both Jodi and Henry? It’s a really bad acid flashback. My skin is beginning to crawl. No. No. No. Life is just too short.

        • I pretty much figured that was the plan. But I was so struck by my visceral reaction. That is a real credit to your writing. Isn’t it interesting how fanfiction has only increased our loyalty towards Tibette? We love them more now than ever. I read this immediately after listening to LuH on the Pants pod cast and I realized here we go again. Bette and Tina apart on season 2 of GQ. Yes, I will definitely read your story! Thanks for the reply.

          • That is very true! And it was senseless to break them up like that..It could have been written that Tina was off on location and had Laurel do the occasional appearances. It just didn’t make sense to break them up when they went through all of that in the first series to get back together. I’m hoping Marja-Lewis Ryan will right her wrongs!

            And thanks for sticking with me!

    2. Hi stargaze,

      What great that you are reposting this story, i have read it before and i am glad you will finish it this time.

      I agree with Billy’s comment and what you both said after that.

      Hope you will post soon again!

    3. This is a great beginning. I can’t imagine the Jodi of TLW actually living with Bette full time. This Jodi must be slightly different…. but it still seems strange.

      And as for Henry? It not stereotypical for a man to want the formal wedding and the bride want to elope. That seems strange to me. But I am presuming that in her heart, Tina does not want to marry Henry.

      This meeting of Bette and Tina was awkward to say the least. It appears that neither of them have resolved in their own minds the relationship for the two of them is over. Maybe because its not over.

      Thanks for the story….. Oh and as far as Gen Q goes? I don’t believe that Marja-Lewis Ryan has any intention of seeing a Tibette in her story. The only thing that she is interested in is drama and a sound, long lasting, loving relationships are not conducive to drama. At the end of the season, not one person or couple were in a relationship with didn’t appear to be falling apart and destined for disaster in the very near future. Nothing would please me more that to see Tina and Bette reunite, but I do not see Ryan allowing that to happen.

      • Thanks for the comment Martha3128!

        I do agree with a lot of what you said and to be honest I know personally a few men that preferred a wedding. Not that it matters but my point was to show that Tina is stressed and Henry does desire the whole shebang

        And Jodi is not living with Bette in this story. She did come over there to hear what Bette had to say and obviously has a key..Sorry I should have made that more clear in the story!

        But thanks for reading!

    4. I am completely with Billy and Bibi and their comments.
      I am happy to have Dana back in the story, letting her die was the biggest mistake in the original show when to have had her recover with the love and help of her friends would have given out a positive message.
      I’ll stay with the story but please have regard to my sore Tibette heart .
      Stay safe and well

    5. Hi. I, too remember this story. I’m glad you brought it back. I agree with everyone that this is hard to read ,but knowing you are a TiBette fan makes it ok. I’ll stick it out because I really love the writing.

    6. This story is stressing me out. It makes my heart hurt. Question…how can Tina not forgive Bette for cheating when she did the same? It’s hypocritical.

      Even though my hearts bleeds, thank you for the story.
