This could have been a moment of deadlock – an abrupt ending to a meeting which might have held some hope, but fortunately for them both, the waitress arrived at that moment with Bettes cappuccino.
Here you go. Anything else I can get for you ladies?
Receiving no response she shrugged, turned on her heel and walked away.
Bette and Tina let out a synchronised sigh and then chuckled weakly at the timeliness of the interruption. At least, now they had re-instated eye contact. Bette decided she should try to take hold of the situation and endeavoured to offer an encouraging smile.
Tina, you wanted this meeting, can you try to tell me whats on your mind?
Tina was grateful for Bette relenting and allowing her to at least have a shot at beginning the task.
OK. Whats on my mind is this, then after a pause, and maybe you should just try to hear me out before you comment, otherwise I might chicken out.
Bette smiled grimly,
The Tina I see these days is no chicken. But, anyway, if I look as if I am going to interrupt, just give me a kick.
What, and damage the crease in those designer jeans? – I dont think so!
The brief light-hearted exchange relieved the tension a little and after a few more moments pause, Tina drew breath to continue.
I want to try, to try my very best, to explain. I want to try to explain why I think we have got, well got to where we have got to now. Sorry, I dont think good grammar and perfect prose are going to feature too strongly today.
Bette smiled a little more encouragement but said nothing.
I know, Bette, I have been, well when I try to put it into words, they simply escape me. Tina shook her head and her face flushed with shame. Bette leaned forward and lightly touched the back of Tinas hand. Tina spoke again and words came rushing out,
I know I have been cold and distant and simply, well nothing short of mean, but Ive been confused, really confused and I know, I just know its all because of becoming a mother . . . There, it was out, but it was the last reason Bette would have imagined that Tina might have offered her. Bette could not prevent herself from making a response,

So happy to see you back! Look forward to reading your take on how Bette and Tina ended up where they are now and where they’ll end up.
I have missed your words, your story for these women, thank you for posting…pls give us more
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.
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. :-)
It’s so nice to have you back, with your logical, sensitive, beautifully written prose.
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.
good to see you back amadeus. looking forward to part two – really only two?Ally – get back to the ice cream/writing
This is good and plesae post soon, can’t wait to see whats next, thanks!
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.
just 1 word… WOW!
I like it, can’t wait for the rest of the talk. So let Tina stay, i want to know how this ends.Post soon, please
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.
I’m so glad you’re back Amadeus. This is one hell of chapter, I love your style, thanks for sharing.
I like it, I’m in. I want to know what both these women (and you) have to say, and where they’re going to end up. Please post soon.
That is one awesome chapter, just let Bette listen,and understand. Thanks
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.
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.
