    Author Notes:

    Tina wants to offer an explanation, but it is not that simple.

    Still unable to tackle the matter at hand – was it too awkward, or too painful or just too hopeless? – Tina detoured.

    And so, er how is the new job, Madam Dean? a half-hearted attempt at the light-hearted at this overwhelmingly heartless moment.

     

    Actually theyve created a Professorship for me. Bette could barely conceal her irritation at Tinas delaying tactics.

    Oh my, Professor Porter!  Wait til I tell your daughter . . . Tina wanted to bite her tongue as soon as the words were out of her mouth.

    I knew this was a really bad idea, Bette sighed, defeated yet again by their astonishingly inept communication.

    Im sorry, Bette, Im truly sorry.  That was so thoughtless of me, but Im so uncomfortable, nervous, actually, plain shit scared.

    You dont have to be, Tina, Im not going to bite your head off whatever it is you have to say.

    You dont know that for sure.  We dont either of us seem to know anything for sure.

    Bette pressed her lips together into a thin line, a line across which she was determined not to let the thousand and one words she wanted to say, pass, at least not until she had heard what Tina had to say.

     

    OK, since we are starting with pleasantries, how is that . . . how is Henry?

    Now it was Tinas turn to hold back, not wanting to divulge anything that would colour Bettes comprehension of what Tina was really there to say to her.

    Can I answer that one a bit later?

    Sure. Whatever you want, Tina.

    Neither woman now felt inclined to speak, although both had so many things to say.  For the time being, they were each sucked into the whirlpool of their own thoughts, and had they but revealed those thoughts to one another, they would have found that they were both calling to mind the time almost a year ago when they had taken tea together and first embarked on what Tina had voiced as,

    Lets just concentrate on being really good parents – itll be a new kind of partnership for us.

    Now, here, in this dismal diner, Tina cringed at how belittling those words had been of all that had meant so much to them over the years and Bette winced at the crushing cold shoulder thrust at her by the repetition of those words.

    3. Okay, you’ve got me, hook, line, and sinker. I don’t know why though. This hurts as if I never heard it before and that’s crazy. Ready for more. Thanks for the post.

    4. Seeing your name as author always gravitates me to read. Your words are thick with emotion. Funny thing is, I don’t think IC and Co. think/create this deeply. We are left to fill in so many emotional blanks that anything can be true. Thanks for sharing your view. :-)

    6. Damn, that was deep and painful, but also a bit of hope. Season 3 was painful, but luckily here in FF world we get to be happy sometimes. I hope that in your story that bit of hope turns more into reality. Post soon.

    9. Good to see you back Amadeus. Your depiction of all things refined – including B&T and their music and art and your writing – were sorely missed. I hope you and your artner had a lovely time away (congratulations!). I look forward to the second part of this and all future episodes of As Love is Deep. Specially the latter. Thanks for coming back with another lovely tale.

    12. OMG – That was truly excellent – i am very keen to read the next part and see if tina stays to deal with the mess that she has created. Hooray for the Brits.

    16. Amadeus…You have been missed. I love your new insights as to what events and feelings broke them apart. With all the fanfic out there, I’ve never read Tina’s explanation for getting pregnant. What she was trying to accomplish w/her pregnancy. I think what is very telling is Tina’s comment that Angelica made her feel complete, whole…while for Bette, Angelica is the light of her life but Tina makes her feel complete. Two very disparate views of life. I can now see why Tina would take up w/Henry (any man). He (a man) completes that traditional picture for her. Bette didn’t need Angelica to feel complete as long as she had Tina. Too bad they didn’t express their feelings vis-a-vis this topic before Tina became pregnant. I look forward to the next chapter. I am a huge TiBetter (actually more of a Better) and feel apprehensive about the ensuing chapter.

    17. Thank you for coming back with a wonderful story – can’t wait for Pt.2. September seems such a long way off – so it’s good to have these great stories in the meantime.
