    Author Notes:

    B&T go to the beach and celebrate their first annivesary of living together–full time.

    They were both also fascinated with the compromises, if any, that artists had to make to please the public and often discussed this. Bette ran into that in determining what art to display in her gallery and Tina faced that problem when deciding how to doctor a script. They both had to decide how much to favor what they thought was quality as opposed to popularity.

    But today they had mostly avoided serious topics.

    Many of the shops in the village displayed their wares on little tables on the sidewalk. And the couple lazily looked at the offerings. They stopped at one where Tina became fascinated with religious scenes in sea shells. It was the kind of thing that Bette called ‘the height of kitsch.’ Tina turned to show Bette one of the more tacky shells, but Bette had disappeared.

    Tina looked up and down the street without spotting Bette. She felt a little nervousness until she saw a sign indicating an art gallery. She quickly walked to it and looked into the glass front and sure enough, there was Bette.

    Bette was carrying on a spirited discussion with a woman who turned out to be the owner of this gallery. Tina walked in and joined her girlfriend. Bette had seen some work in the gallery that she liked and she was discussing that artist with the gallery owner. Before she left, she secured the business card of the artist. And they continued their stroll down the sidewalk.

    “She was disappointed when you introduced me as your girlfriend,” Tina told Bette about the gallery owner.

    “You’re imagining that,” said Bette casually. “Besides, baby, not every woman is *****, you know.”

    “They are when they see you.”

    ================================

    When they were ready for lunch, they rejected the quaint, tea-room looking places and chose one that looked old, wooden, but clean. They ordered seafood from the counter and sat down at a scarred table to wait for their food.

    “Look at the decorations,” Bette commented to Tina about the items on the wall of the restaurant. “They’re real. Real anchors, real buoys, a real ship’s compass. Not that fake ***** that some eateries probably buy out of a nautical themes supply house.”

    Tina was always fascinated at Bette’s interest in art and decoration, not just in her professional world, but in the everyday world. This humble eating place had gotten her attention and approval. And the food was good and solid.

    6. i see the sraight girl was thinking ahead,she new her and bette would fall in love it would it would take bette long to realize it.and eventualy they would live together and bette would ask tina to marry her.damn tina is a smart girl.i wonder if she nows bette wants kids.

    10. I love this,all the little thing rolled in to one big ball.I believe it called love. To love like that is so wonderful. Hey you must live in the FW/dadas area. Been here since 47 and was born in Dallas near Fair Park. Watch Texas and Baylor now Armyand AF Still have A&M and the Miami and Virginia ……tech. will be fliping channels tonight. Love this thanks

    11. Pancha that was beautifully done. The earring engagement rings were a lovely touch as well and Tina’s picture was a great touch also. It showed the love they have for each other and also what their relationship means to each of them. Tina the homemaker, nurturer, grounded person, Bette the artist, etc. Thanks for this chapter. Loved it.

    12. I AM UNBELIEVEABLY FLOATIN RIGHT NOW. THE WAY YOU MADE THESE PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZIN. OMG!!!! THAT WAS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL IT WAS PROFOUNDLY, SUPERB. I DON’T USE THOSE WORDS OFTEN BUT THAT’S ALL THAT POPS IN MYHEAD RIGHT NOW, NEXT TO DAMN!!!!PLEASE POST SOON. PEACE.

    13. yup right there with kookymook…This chapter is more serious than your other chapters, but I love it! They are getting married hurray! Oh and btw did tina still up bette with the purchased photo?? Shes still the grand winner huh?

    14. Awwwww! The proposal was a nice surprise. I had wondered how Tina lost her earrings but after she realized they were part of the rings, I wanted to slap my head and say, “DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I totally didn’t see that coming.

    15. this was beautiful, but the PS. bothers me, it means tina was thinking about marriage 5 months prior to proposal and even if bette proposed first and surprised tina, it’s could affect them, i hope not though, bette needs that little victory….it was beautiful chapter, and nice touch with the earrings

    16. Wow, those miracle earrings… Call it fate… After reading your story, I want to have my pink shell walk with me on the beach. So peaceful and so happy.

    17. Well, it’s a good thing Bette doesn’t know that about the photograph….otherwise, it’s another ditto moment for her! Great story, I like your definition of love.

    19. fergz – im here baby. had the dinner that was scary thingy with the fam.im dittoing everybody here. i love this story. i love how you have them growing. god and communication. jeez some people on this board dont know what it means. thanks sweetie

    22. That was so romantic really beautiful nice to see Bette getting in there first…. thanks ill now go to bed with a smile on my face and for the first time not because of an NC17 lol…

    23. Pancha,Wonderful and heartfelt. Awesome and inspiring.The way in which Tina has been there, constant in her love for Bette, has been rewarded by Bette’s leap into life.Bette has always taken the initiative in her professional but never in her emotional life and this makes this last chapter all the more delightful.You have filled me with a warm and fuzzy glow as everything seems alright with the world now. The sun is shining just that little bit brighter.This is down to you and your wondrous writing. You encapsulate all of the emotions that these characters are experiencing and make them real to me.Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with me.Your Loyal Fan.PS – S3 was still a great read.

    24. Tina is prescient, as always! I love this fanfic! But I’m WAY down the list of your admirers. Why couldn’t I be first to say it this time? Clever! Wonderful! – And a whole bunch of other accolades! Thank you for continuing this story. It warms my heart to see Bette so in love.

    25. “Jurgenson and Vermeil–that’s going back. But the Porters did live under a rock as far as sports went.” Well, Pancha, Bette’s what – 42 now? (JB’s age) and Melvin would be older than dirt. I think they would have been around Philly during the great Vermeil teams. And everybody knows Dr. J. Come on! People came out from under rocks to watch him dunk in the 70’s and 80’s! Bette would have been of age to attend games! What kind of black folks are these? Don’t know Dr. J?????????
