"Do you…do you think we can get past our history? Can we forgive each other the people we became, and find the people we will become, together?"
"It used to be a dream of mine T. To start over, to be the parents we should be, the family we should be, the lovers we once were. It used to be, before you left me for Henry."
Tina let Bette’s words sink in. She knows now how I felt she thought. She really knows how I felt after Candace. I never wanted her to know how that felt.
"I’m sorry. I’m so sorry Bette for letting go. For dropping your hand when I should have clung to you to save my life. I surrendered to my demons, the ones that screamed in my head to hurt back, the ones that blocked me from making rational and reasonable decisions. I ran to the nearest escape, and feeling so low about myself, I let irrational thoughts take me to a place I never really wanted to go. A place I felt was the only place I belonged, seen as I couldn’t keep you happy, I couldn’t satisfy you any more."
"Tina. You always satisfied me. You always did. The affair with Candace was not because of you, or anything you did. It was me. It was only me, and it should have never had happened. I felt like such a failure, I couldn’t do anything right, I couldn’t handle the pressure and I couldn’t talk to you. We had just lost the baby, we had all the attacks from Faye Buckley and her group, Franklin was threatening me. I let you down, not only because I was always working, but because I wasn’t there when we lost our son because of work. I wasn’t there for you when my father treated you like you didn’t exist. I wasn’t there for you in any way, I let you down, and I let me down, and then, then I lost myself in my despair over it all."
Bette let her tears flow freely as she spoke, she couldn’t have held them if she tried.
"I’m not the person that everyone thinks I am Tina. This tough alpha bitch that doesn’t let anything bother me. The one who makes the tough decisions without thought for anyone else. There are times, when I am so…lost. So alone, so afraid, that I can’t breathe for the walls closing in on me."

At least there is some communication between them. There is so much hurt on both sides and yet there is so much love also. They can work it out even if they are only co-parents but for me it will always be Bette and Tina.
That was tough, but at least they are in the same room and actually talking. I have faith that you’ll bring them back to each other. Very touching…PPS..I missed this story.
I was so glad to see this story. I have missed it. Looking forward to more.
as long as they are talking, it will help in a long run
Great post, they need to take it slow…but that doesn’t mean you should take it slow LOL. I love your writing, both stories :o))
I’ll take it! Honesty is a start.
Hey there thanks for the shout out…now u know I love all your writing and your beautiful country which I intend to get to one day soon…great talk between them…Bette is such a vulnerable intense character…her beauty and body kinda cloak that because imo people fall for the exterior and maybe don’t get to know her other side…like that bastard Franklin and opportunist Leo and her cold father…etc…terribly fragile is how I see her…whereas Tina has got a little more of being grounded…her spin out after the loss of baby and she got up again and moved on…protecting Bette was her main thought when she did the secret insemination…what a woman, she got past her own hurts and because she truly understood Bette’s deep fragility she tried to get over the past…but after the trauma of the baby I think she got worn out and flipped…heading for less stress where she would be taken care of..in a moment of TRUE weakness unlike T’s real character she fled to Henry…again B’s so fragile this nearly kills her…even the Jodi thing imo is a sign of B’s fears…Jodi is ‘less’ than Tina, B’s not so committed at the heart, Jodi is an idea in her head, the artist but Tina is her true love…excuse my rave but u did that to me… PPS
Good to have you back. You are such a good writer, and I love this story.
