Hindsight – Chapter 40
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
I stood on the decking in the fresh morning air; with Kit collecting Angelica early it gave me a chance to just have ten minutes…, ten minutes to absorb the possibilities…
Tina Pregnant with Henry’s child…
Tina not pregnant with Henry’s child…
Did either scenario matter to the way I felt about Tina…, simple answer…, No.
It would just complicate things slightly, but that’s all…
I sat on the lounger…, just having that one last cigarette…, I’ve decided on giving up tomorrow, but today…, I just needed to have that feeling of drawing in and letting out that smoke slowly, watching it disperse into the air as my mind raced…, actually, it wasn’t racing, it was more of an amble…
I was feeling so calm and collected that I had surprised myself at the decisions I was coming to…, yesterday had been…, emotional…, healing…, revealing…, but most of all, yesterday gave me clarity…
It was so clear now that I would never love another…, did I ever doubt that…, no… but seeing Tina and spending time together just clarified the situation…, and as for the phone call at midnight and the rush to Alice’s…, those feelings of wondering whether Tina had been hurt…, all those things only served to confirm my feelings for her had never and would never alter…
And today…, today I was taking her to the clinic…; I was going to be holding her hand while Dr Wilson told her whether or not she was carrying his baby…
And how did I feel about that…, a mixture really…, I wanted to be there for her and if that meant putting my own feelings and opinions aside, then so be it, that’s what I would do…
Was that me being brave and bold…, no…, just being me for her…
I glance at my watch and see that I should be setting off if I was going to pick her up and take her to the appointment…, with one last deep drag on the cigarette, I feel the pull inside me, I’m not sure why I even did this…, it made my head swim, it smelt and it tasted foul…, oh and yeah, it wasn’t good for me…

Epilogue! Epilogue! Please… and maybe a little chapter of “remember when”? I love that one too…
Great story! I can’t believe you wrote 40 chapters basically over 2 days of time. Fabulous! I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Have a great holiday over there with your family. Looking forward to seeing your name again, indicating that a new journey will begin. Can´t wait.
Thank you so much Jo for this wonderful and great story. I loved it! I hope you will come back soon. Maybe with an epilogue or with new chapters of “remember when” and “situations”?! I love them both. It also could be a new story, I will read everything you write. Have a great time in America. Enjoy it.
Jo, thank you so much for this wonderful story. I’m sad to see it end however, I think an epilogue would be great. I would love to see how they put their lives back together. I’m also very pleased that Bette stepped up to the plate so to speak and Tina finally came to her senses. You write these two so well and I truly love reading your stories. Have fun on your vacation and come back to us soon!!
You’re right, this story was painful and difficult to read. I actually stopped reading it after a few chapters, but recently I’ve been catching up on it and phew, that was quite a journey! Loved it! The ending was such a relief, I’m glad they made it… Hope you’ll have a great vacation, have fun in the US!
Wjhat a wonderful journey , soooo sad that it is over but Loved every word that was written, Please please give us more soon. Thanks for this wonderful story, have a great holiday xx
Jo have a nice vacation! I’ll be waiting to see your stories again. Whether it’s a continuance of this one or a new one. Cheers!
First off, have a wonderful vacation Jo. I can’t believe the story is over to be honest. Gosh I can remember the first chapter and how broken Bette was. I am so happy at the ending…..come back soon! I don’t have a lot of time to read and continue my own story, but I have to say I make a point to read this one because it was so well written!
We’re all lucky to have you at the helm to smooth out the bumpy passage for B&T. Congrats on the awards, have a good vacation, and thank you for the wonderful stories.
Wonderful story, thanks for sharing your stories with us. Have a great vacation. and congratulations on your awards.
wow this story was like my fairy-tale…they started out hopeless and ended with hope…the pregnancy did take me for a turn, but in a way, like Tina…and many readers here lol…im so glad she lost the baby…and its funny how she got pregnant because of henry…and then lost the baby through henrytotally justice…anyways i loved this fic and im sad to see it go…but i also feel probably like you that it was a good place to end
Jo, that was one of the best storys I ever read, I looked for it all the time. Have a great vaca in the states and thank you.
Pot, you know, I kind of wish Bette would go beat the shit out of Henry… just for fun. But, I guess that’s just a personal and all the time thing for me. :D Mate, this was a perfect (happy) ending. I’m so relieved things all worked out for them… This was beautiful and exhausting and SO GOOD. Thanks for sharing. Now what the hell am I supposed to do now that it’s over?! Kettle x
Love this story. Hope you have a nice vacation. Would like to see one more chapter where they get to shag!
Hot diggety! 40 chapters basically one page at a time. You’e the best. Have a great time on your holiday.And didn’t TiBette have that chemistry again in TLW? Doesn’t JB have the most magnificent arms and shoulders? I hope IC kicks Jodi to the curb. Viva La TiBette!
Excellent story Jo! It’s really sad that Tina lost the baby though…after all, it would have been half Tina right? But the thought of evil Henry having visitation rights caused me to have a lifetime’s worth of nightmares; and I’m sure B&T would have tried to legally keep him from the baby, so they would have had all the hassles of court and worries, etc. etc. So in the end, I must say I loved your ending. I can’t believe you wrote a 40 chapter story that spanned less than a three day time frame! That’s awesome! Have a great holiday Jo! Your exquisite writing will be sorely missed during your hiatus. If your hotel doesn’t have Showtime you’ll have to change hotels! LOL!
Jobadge, thanks for a wonderful story. It was a great ride. Enjoy your vacation and I look forward to reading more of your stories.
thank you, the ending was great and sweet: tibette forever!!!!!! *hurray*
Loved it, beautifully written and great ending.
The emotional journey has come to an end. What a great story and equally great ending. Looking forward to your future stories. You are a very talented writer.
I loved this story and hope that when you come back from your vacation that you will consider writing a sequel? You could call it, “new beginnings” or “fresh start” or “bye-bye Hendick” LOL! What do you think? Okay, I leave the creative writing to you Jo. Nobody does it better ( hey, that sounds like that could be a story title as well? LOL!) Have a safe trip.
thank god! not pregant…..YAY!im sadden this story is ending butt least there together thats how it supposed to be… tell your family thxs for sharing your time with your other family..i know ya be back,because ally will bugg you till you do…. take care lady and thank you for all your hard work…
Actually you are a drama queen only in a different manner. Your drama seems more real life, real emotions. Not that others are not real just yours feels more real. I will miss this story and of course your writings but I am so happy that it turned out the way that it did. Sex is great but so is human relationships whether friendship or as lovers, that is what makes the world go around. Have a wonderful vaction and please enjoy our country.
Thank you for sharing this story with us… wish the writers at showtime could have done this… have a great holiday on this side of the pond, hope you are going somewhere the weather is nice already! (JT thanks for sharing Jo with us!!)
lovely, just awesome…thank you…looking forward to your next masterpiece…
There’s not much I can say that Everyone hasn’t already said…It was a wonderful, marvelous journey. Thank You! Yet…I do believe in Epilogues! I do believe! I do believe. Enjoy your visit to the states…wonder if you’re headed anywhere near the Jersey Shore..? No matter – just walk into any Gay Bar and let them know who you are…You won’t have to spend a dime! hahaha – I’d certainly buy you a round!! Thanks again! TaTa
I Loved the story. Thanks.
WOW!!!!! What a wonderfull ending. You write so Well this has been very beautifull and loving. Thank you Have fun on your Holiday!!!!!
loved this Jo… even though there was no sex… it was wonderufl… thank you.. have a great vacation and we will be looking for you when you get back… maybe a sequel with tina pregnant with bette’s baby… a little brother for angie…
Hey mate! So, no need to comment anymore huh? Well but I wanted to just say again: enjoy your vacations with your family. :) We are gonna miss ya round here. Take lots of pictures kay? See ya in two weeks. Hugs for you and Jill.
That was wonderful and happy ending and love it. So happy for them and glad Tina is not pregnant. Thanks for this awesome story and can’t wait to see the new one soon, thanks!!!!!!
Wonderful captivating writing Jobadge…I am always in awe. I hope you continue to write so I can continue to read.
Beautiful story jobadge!
I know I’m late lol but I love this story that comment Bette said “in a heartbeat” touched my soul that was beautiful, you definitely can write
Confession time!! The pregnancy thing – that wasn’t really meant to happen, but when you all guessed that Tina was going to be given a knuckle sandwich, I had to change tactics, didn’t want to be predictable, so my girlfriend suggested the pregnancy, and I thought – yeah great idea…, but it was a bugger to write myself out of it, knowing I wanted the same ending, but I had to make the story a couple of chapters longer to take it all into account! LOL So…, JT thanks sweetie for your fab idea, and I’m sorry if I kept you awake when I was lying awake trying to think of a way to get Tina out of the mess!! LU x
You know how I feel about this story being over… This has been the ride of a lifetime, Im telling you! But how can I tell you how your words have captured my heart? How can I tell you your words have touched the pounding organ, time and time again, bringing tears into my eyes in more than one occasion? How can I thank you for sharing with us, the tale of two characters so precious to us, on their road to reconciliation? I can’t, because I am not as gifted as you are… But Jo, even if I was, I just don’t think there are words to describe it… Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know the person behind the wonderfull words… And pls don’t even stop telling the tales of true love! I hope you have a wonderfull holiday!
FIRST?????
everything everyone already said .. this has been a really amazing story, and so emotional, but told so well. However hard it was to change what you wanted to happen at the end it still works and it’s still really really good!! thanks, and have a great vacation!
Thank you mate – this story has been very painful, emotinal and tough to read, but you know I love it…like I love all your writing, you captivate me like no other – you’re my BOMB!!! Hope the next story doesn’t makes me cry so much LOL. Miss you already xxx
loved it, loved it, loved it! not all stories need an nc-17! this was such an emotional journey…one they needed to have. thanks for the great (at times painful) story. Coming to good old USA, huh?! Well, have fun. but I don’t know why anyone would leave Europe to come here for holiday… i try to escape to europe every chance i get! If you come to Ohio, you and your family have a place to stay with me! (enough though there is nothing here!)
Yay for happy endings, even when they cause grey hairs along the way! I’m completely relieved Tina’s not pregnant with Henry’s demon spawn, especially if the bastard’s the type that hits people. Well, Jo, I’m really sorry to see this story go. It’s been such an emotional ride, I didn’t even get a chance to miss the sex! Maybe next time, hm? Thanks, Jo
Thank you for this wonderful story, and congratulations on all your awards. Your talent is limitless, and I am grateful you share it with us. Enjoy your holiday!!
Although this was truly one emotional rollercoaster, it was a fantastic ride. Thanks for the wonderful story. I hope the next is filled with little less angst. Have a wonderful vacation.
Has it really been 40 chapters? Damn…I had really hoped Henry wouldn’t knock Tina around like that. But I’m glad that the pregnancy was just a false alarm because a miscarriage due to a knockdown would’ve just been cruel. I know some may think, “Who gives a shit! Henry’s a dick!” Well, that may be in true in this story, but it still would’ve been awful. Anyway, what a freaking roller coaster!!!!!!!!!! I think between this and Chicki’s “A Life Denied” it’s a wonder there are any tissues still left on the world. lol And that just applies to stories written this year. Have fun on your vacation! =)
The end ? What do you mean “The end” ? Jobadge, I believe we all told you before that ending this story was never an option. We do need at least one more chapter. Pleeeease… Yet, the thought of a brand new story isn’t bad… It’s not bad at all… Anyway, I wish you a very nice holiday, Jo ( if this is what you meant by being away for a few weeks ), I’m sure you have deserved it. And I can already tell you’re going to come back with dozens of great ideas for new stories… How exciting ! I can’t wait. Anyway, I’m just so sorry that I can’t find a way, taht I can’t find proper words to tell you how amazing this story was. No comment I could make would be up to the task of paying tribute to your tremendous talent anyway, so I’ll just say THANK YOU SO MUCH !
I did so enjoythis story.To bad that a person needs to get slapped around . His time will come. Tina and Bette can work out a lot and become the all-american couple again. HAVE A NICE VACATION AND COME BACK TO WRITE AGAIN
Wow! What a ride it has been, Jo! Thanks for a great story and a great ending. Sad to see it end although i’m sure you’ll come back with another great one. Hope you have a fantastic vacation. Take care!
bloody brilliant thanx Jo
Thanks for sharing such a great story. Would have liked a love scene between bette and tina, but nevertheless this is wonderful storytelling. Thanks and long to read other writing soon. Have a splendid holiday.
Jo, thankyou isn’t enough, isn’t nearly enough. You have an amazing talent and I’m greatful that you care to share it with us. You are the QUEEN of stories that take place over a couple days/hours. You make us feel the gamut of emotions over the course of your chapters and as hard as they are to read sometimes, they are equally as joyous…Jo, go and rest and enjoy your family vacation…then pls get back home and write again..You are amazing !!!! Thankyou
Jo, thankfully we can count on you for the happy ending we so long for when it comes to our girls. Course you did have to throw a bit of drama in a long the way. Knew you wouldn’t ruin it by having Tina pregnant with Henry’s baby. Thank you lord. This cannot be the end. Now we need Tina and Bette starting again and I think enlarging the family. We will wait. Enjoy your holiday over here. I know most of the hotels have HBO but I’m not sure about showtime. Hopefully your going somewhere warm. Right now were having the weirdest weather in California, but its always a nice place to be.
Jo, That was wonderful. Bette’s response to Tina’s news of a potential baby was perfect. All she cared about was Tina. The prospect of Tina having Henry’s child was a difficult situation to be in however both Bette and Tina were ready to be the best parents that they could be. As for Henry, what an ass he was. Lashing out at Tina really didn’t help him rather made him seem a pathetic sad man, hitting out at what he could never have. Then to have the news that Tina wasn’t pregnant and see the relief (and disappointment) that everyone felt, Loved Tina’s line “Something else that this makes me realise… the only babies I ever want to have are yours Bette, no one else’s, just yours and mine…”. Jo, it is a testament to your superior skills as a storyteller that the the lack of sexula content was not noticed or missed by myself. You hit so many emotional highs and lows that carried me along on this rocky ride. Thank you so much for this tortured tale but this cannot be the end. Puh-lease say it ain’t so, Jo. Your Loyal Fan. PS – If this is the end then an epilogue or even sequel would be greatly recieved. You could jump to the future and show how loving and caring the new B&T are or end with the wonderul news of a sibling for Angelica or even the diffiuclties that the gals go through to get to that point. So all I’m really saying is please continue to write and enlighten your readers.
Bravo JO! Whata F*cken great story that was. I was trully bummed when I saw it was the last chappy. God please follow up with it and whats up with no sex for 40 chappys?! That is NOT like you. You owe us….Please!
Thanks for a wonderful story and I always like a happy ending for B&T.
upeb as always — have a good holiday and come back and you can launch your new story and maybe that other thing we discussed – xxx
Hey Jo! Thanks for this wonderful story, and this great ending… The pregnancy thing not being planned shows even more what a talented writer you are… Giving us a fascinating twist to the story, hereby challenging Ally and her dramaqueen crown, but then making it all right again without any big tragedy (like an awful accident with the baby)… Yay to Jo! Okay now… I’m absolutely wishing you the best (and well deserved I’m sure) vacation ever, but I hope you realise that this little addiction of mine might suffer a huge deal from it… I mean… seriously… a couple of weeks without your writing…? OUCH! I’m quite concerned about my health… I guess I should ask my fellow French site friend Clarice to check on me once in a while to make sure i’m okay during that Jobadgefree cure… Hmm, gonna be tough! Hey, more seriously, I’m looking forward to your next story, Jo! And maybe can we hope for the return of some “situations”, or a chap’ of “Remember when”… As for now, thanks a lot, forget about us addicts, and have a great time in Amerrrrrica!!! Safe trip, and please come back to us… ;)
Gee, I’ve never kissed with a split lip, must be a gas. So Tina was just late and the pain was just cramps. I suppose that’s the sweetest way out, just makes Tina seem slightly daffy. But Henry is gone from their lives for good and that is very good. Have a great vacation.
bravo! bravo! :)
