That was decidedly awkward, Bette said. How long had she been here?
Long enough to realize you two werent off taking a tour of the kitchen Alice said. She tried to appear as though it didnt phase her, but how could it not.
As long as we can continue this co-parenting arrangement, Im fine with whatever happens, Bette said as she sipped her latte. Of course itll be more of a challenge when she moves out, but well cross that bridge when we come to it.
At least youll be in the same city though, Helena said. Its so hard for me to have to fly back and forth to New York in order to see my own children.
Good point, Bette said. I should be thankful for how well this is going so far.
No reason to think it wont continue to go well either, Shane said as the server brought the last of their meals.
You just have to realize that the children of a relationship must take priority, Helena said. Its too easy to get selfish when youre dealing with a break-up. You have to decide not to let that happen. To be a bigger person than that.
Bette put her hand on Helenas shoulder.
Maybe you should see if you could have the kids come visit here for a few days, Bette suggested. Youre obviously missing them.
I might do that, Helena replied. I miss them whenever theyre not with me.
A silence descended on the table as they began eating. It was interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. They each reached for their phones.
Its me, Bette said as she flipped her phone open. Hello?
Hi Bette, Tina said. I just wanted to mention Angelica has play group tomorrow.
Thanks I would have forgotten, Bette replied.
A silence followed before Tina spoke again.
I wasnt trying to make you uncomfortable by being there this morning, Tina said. The real reason for her call.
I was a bit surprised, thats all, Bette said. You can spend time wherever you want. Im really okay with it.
Im glad youre going to be early tomorrow Bette, theres something we have to talk about.
Anything serious? Bette asked, her brow furrowing slightly.
No, no, just something you should know, Tina said. Im entering onto the Freeway, I should let you go.
Talk to you tomorrow, Bette finished the conversation and put her phone back into her purse.
Is everything alright? Helena asked.
Seems to be, Bette said. Tinas being awfully apologetic though. Makes me somewhat nervous.
Shes really confused right now Bette, Alice said. Im not trying to make excuses for her, but she is just trying to figure out whats going to make her happy.
Well, no sense getting all worked up over it, Bette said. She and I have never been the best at communicating with each other, so maybe this is her effort to improve on that.
Helena sat back and watched as Bette contemplated what Tina might want to talk about. She was starting to feel a bit invisible when Bette unconsciously reached over and placed a hand on her thigh.
Whatever it is, she thought. We can work through it together.
The mood of the breakfast lightened as the group continued chatting about their plans for the day.

Heartwarming to see Bette and Helena together out in public. In your story they really are a wonderful couple. It will be sad if Tina now decides that it is Bette that she wants, because I don’t know how I would feel right now with her trying to get Bette back. Would Bette give her an outright NO because she is so sure of her love for Helena, or would Bette be confused, thinking about the love she and Tina shared for so many years? Would Bette be confused because Tina would be offering her the family that they both dreamed about and worked toward for so many years? I don’t know about the rest of you, but I know I have gone back into a relationship not because I knew it was the best thing for me to do, but because that relationship had been my entire life for so long, that no matter the circumstances, I thought I still wanted that. Yeah, I know…I was wrong! If Bette did decide to go back, and then realizes her mistake, will it be too late for she and Helena? Just some of my tumbling thoughts. Thanks Swimmie!
Hey swimmie…seems to me that we are being set up here for a remorseful Tina. I do believe that there will be a heartfelt confession coming up pretty soon on the part of our lovely Tina, non??? It may be just a bit too much for her to know that “her” Bette is now happy with someone else….
So glad to see another Wanted post from you, Swim. I have to say, I’m loving Bette and Helena. I really wouldn’t even like to see B&T back together at this point. Fantastic job…keep ’em comin’.
Yeah, everyone has the rights to go after their own happiness. But when the happiness is built up on someone else, it’s not an easy thing then.
Very interesting words from Alice at the end of this chapter, is Tina not allowed to be happy also or does it only apply to Bette, I felt that Bette was really cold towards Tina in this chapter. I do feel bad for Tina because seeing Bette and Helena together faces flushed making there way back to the table, Tina knows what B&H had gotten up to but how is Bette going to feel when she sees Tina with her boyfriend for the first time together. I for one don’t want to see Bette and Tina get back together in your story JKS and I am a TiBe fan…but as Bette said they can’t communicate with each other and when you can’t communicate your relationship starts to disintegrate and the the shit hits the fan. I hope that the conversation that B&T are going to have is about Tina moving out of the house because IMO Bette doesn’t want her to be there.
I absolutely love your writing. Wherever you decide to take your story I’m certainly buckled in for the ride.
Swimmie…You’re the best. The dialogue and the voice of the characters is spot on. Tina is always confused. She seems to want Bette when Bette is romantically involved w/someone else. She has a bit of the green-eyed monster.
Now that you’ve got me hooked on Bette and Helena, your throwing in complications from Tina. Tina, you had your chance girl. Due to your brilliant writing, I prefer Bette with Helena. Let them be happy.
Have I mentioned how much I love this story.I LOVE THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic chapter, as always, JKS! ALthough I’ve enjoyed Bette and Helena being together, I’m personally ready for Tina to walk over the hot coals that is her realtionship with Bette and grovel for another chance with her. Make her work for it, Bette…but give it to her eventually. More please, JKS!
Oh boy, what’s Tina’s news??? i hope it doesn’t cause probs for Bette and Helena b/c I’m really loving these two together. Don’t keep me guessing for too long; post soon!
It was hard during S3 to see Tina with someone else and rbing it in Bette face,Bette is not doing that,and she isnt bring Helena home with her. Just glad that they are out in the open with it and Bette didnt change sides thanks
I love it! But now you have me worried, cas if Tina was to go groveling back to Bette, I think I’d want them together, but then again you’ve converted me now and I totally love icecream. Looking forward to your next chapter!
oops, yeah I’m not so keen on any of the names created for Bette & Helena (maybe its a psychological thing, I love the Tibette thing!!), so seeing as the main icecream company here is HB I just like refering to the as icecream. I know its a bit wierd.
pretty damn good as always — i love this story !
this is goin’ be good!
JKS…I can’t wait to hear what T has to say…I bet it is going to be good. post soon.
ok…this thing with Tina has to end. I am a B&Ter, but, here it just doesn’t click. Let B be happy, Helena and Bette are hot, sexy, and leave you wanting more…and in your hands…the journey will be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some days there is never enough time to talk huh, moments for intimacy get lost in the hubbub. Tina’s heart must be breaking and Bette’s too, for true love is never completely placated, it always keep a little fire burning deep down in your heart. Where are you talking us swim ? Are you going to tells us how to deal with love lost and how they move on ? A lesson worthy of note indeed. Thank you for your time and sharing your talent.
Hey there…great story…I want Tina to fight for her woman and get her back! I missed them on the show..so my last resort if fanfic..lol!
Nice post *AGAIN* I hope you post more soon it was over so quickly:(
Is this yet another case of Tina wanting someone she should consider out of bounds? It’s her pattern after all. Despite her towering outrage over the carpenter, she’s the one who cheated on Eric to go to Bette, the one who flaunted Helena in Bette’s face as often and as painfully as she could, internet boy, Josh, Henry. The beat goes on. Could Bette’s happiness be a trigger for Tina?
this is a very good story. i keep on reading and hoping b&t will get back together. im bail out from reading it. you are one of my favorite author and this is a good story but im a t&b shipper all the way.i cant wait until you continue t&b stories.
This was a sad chapter…the realities of change coming into play in a big way. I can’t help but feel bad for tina (this chapter) as her changes that involve the man won’t allow her to hang at the planet, so it will be a choice to avoid that place and those moments. It would take a very long time for everyone to be genuinely comfortable as a group with this dynamic changed. But so goes life…you write this so so well…tks JKS
great play between bette and helena, they are a really hot couple!!!!!!!!!
So, Tina’s confused. . .I like Bette and Helena together, but it would not be surprising if Tina was feeling like she might want Bette back. Great update; looking forward to the next chapter.
what does Tina want to talk about?
I wonder what Tina wants to talk about. Does she want to move out on her own now that she is working? Perhaps more importantly to not have to face Bette as much now that she knows Bette is happy with Helena and she still doesn’t know what makes herself happy? That was one awkward moment at the Planet indeed. Please post again soon, Swim.
I think Tina wants Bette back, and I got a feeling, that is what Bette wants too, she just doesn’t know it yet
Oh, God, Swim…What a happy surprise, to find this to read first thing this morning…before I even had my coffee!! That’s okay though, Helebette in the bathroom opened my eyes. Thanks. Marvelous as usual!
Thanks for the great chapter. I can’t wait to hear Tina’s news
Please post again soon it’s a good story. i like Bette & Helena as a couple and please don’t let Tina break them up she’s had her chances with Bette and just blew them.
This is an amazing story! You’ve really done well at capturing the characters and bringing them to life. After the events of S3, I had felt that Bette and Helena were more suited for each other. Your writing has really brought that to life – & is so refreshing after a disappointing S3. Don’t get me wrong-I have been a BT fan from day one. But when you have a good thing like Bette (even w/ all her faults & who doesn’t have them?!?), you can only string a person out for so long. It’s nice to “see” a smile on Bette’s face again! Keep up the great work!
maybe tina is realizing that letting bette go is the hardest thing to do? why is it that B&H can work through anything together but B&T can’t…sorry, my tibettian runt again, i probably should stop commenting since i know i’m not gonna get what i want *sigh*
It’s like Xmas in April today, Sandscribe, Olives, JKS, yahoo!!!
““Do you have your cell?†Tina asked. The debacle of the weekend was still on everyone’s mind. I do, but you can also call me at Helena’s,†Bette said.” …Deadly. Deadly!
Great as always JKS, has Tina decided to leave LA and leave Angelica to Bette? that would surely make my day, yeah I know bad bad kelly. Thanks again for your post.
Good cdhapter. I agree with strtgirl1 and Tina need to fight hard to get Bette back. Ok post soon please, thanks!
There’s definitely something about toilet sex. Especially when it’s Bette and Helena… Hopefully, Tina won’t annouce she wants to be back with Bette, because I think Helena and Bette just simply have to be happy for a while, before something or someone tries to spoil the pleasure for them.
So good to see another great chapter from you, I’ve missed you. Of course Tina is confused, because she is realising that she still loves Bette and want her back….do you really mean that the characters are in control of this story, because if that’s true then B&T will find their way back to each other – they are soul mates and they know it!!!! I love your Helena and Bette together, but Bette belongs with Tina. Post soon please….
Well this Bette and Helena still work for me…..so is Tina maybe having second thoughts…maybe too quick to let Bette go…should she have fought for her …always hard to see an ex with someone else..screws up your head or helps you see the light!!!so im looking forward to seeing which it is….
