    Author Notes:

    Laughed and smiled and denied the proof.

    "Then why— Helena!"

    Bette sighed, knowing better than to hang up while Alice was distracted. Once was forgivable. Twice might have Alice on the next flight out. She glanced at Tina, who was a good distance ahead already.

    "You won’t believe what Helena just did," Alice told Bette, returning to the call. "She just swept off your daughter and left."

    "Good on her."

    "Bette!"

    "Alice, this has nothing to do with you. I’m sorry if Jodi put you on the spot, but this wasn’t planned, and I’m not going to defend this like I’m doing something wrong." Bette told her. "So leave it alone."

    Bette couldn’t be sure, but she heard Alice take a deep breath, and when she returned, there was a slight semblance of calm in her voice. At least, she wasn’t as high strung as she’d been when she first called.

    "What’re you doing in Carolina, Bette?"

    "You know why."

    "But if I remember correctly, your last visit there didn’t go well for either of you."

    Bette sighed. "Something came up."

    "Is she OK?"

    "Huh?"

    "Is Tina OK?" Alice asked. "Being around her family, and all."

    Bette hesitated, surprised that Alice would ask about Tina’s well-being. "She’s fine."

    "Look, I know I haven’t been too great when it comes to Tina, but you can’t just jump when she asks you to, Bette. You can’t just give up on your relationship with Jodi because Tina asks you to hold her hand."

    "Alice," Bette began, with just the slightest hint of exasperation, "Jodi knows why I’m not in California. But I assure you I’m not going in blind, here. I know Tina and I still have things between us. But this isn’t any of your business. I appreciate your concern, but this is between me and T."

    Alice sighed. "It’s still there, isn’t it?"

    "What?"

    "You and her."

    Bette also sighed. "I’ll call you later."

    "Be careful, OK, Porter? You have a good thing with Jodi."

    "Had." Bette corrected, looking up to see Tina at the entryway of the hotel, waiting for her. "I’ll talk to you later."

    "Oh, fine! Just leave me in the dark. But when you call—"

    "I’ll make it as inconvenient as possible." Bette said simply, as a parting shot, before she hung up.

    Tina looked up when Bette finally joined her at the hotel’s front steps. "How bad was it?"

    Bette looked at her, and smiled weakly. "Better now."

    2. So is it possible that jodi will no longer be the girlfriend of Bette Porter? Alice must always have her nose in everybody’s life. I know that she is protecting Bette, but maybe she needs to protect Bette from jodi.

    3. I just have one thing for Jodi…Na.na.na.na…Na.na.na.na…hey.hey.hey…good bye! Tiff with that one little word “had” you made my day! Wonderful dialogue with Alice…great quipping back and forth!

    9. Tiff, feel free to use my favorite 4-letter word (especially when it comes to Jodi)…N-E-X-T!. Bring on Tibette!BTW: Are we going to see smack down between Bette and Cathy? Nothing speaks love louder then some action. Stand up for your woman, Bette!

    10. Though you had my eyes widen at Bette’s use of “had,” I’m not gonna jump for joy just yet, because I did recall this little bit in the last chapter – “”Just trust me.” Bette said, already in the process of blocking out memories of a more recent camping trip with her girlfriend and said girlfriend’s friends.” However I will hope that Jodi is if not already, then very soon will be out of the picture!! Great update & PPVS :)

    11. Alice, Alice, Alice….pipe down and mind your own business for once. You know deep down Bette is exactly where she needs and should be…with the love of her life. Now they just have to figure out how to put it back together again. Bye bye Jodi. :) PPS

    12. I do love the fact that Bette said “HAD.” Oh wow, that means they had broken up before Bette left town. Yea!!!!!! Good riddance to jodi, Bette does not need her in her life. She is so wrong for Bette. Let the aliens take her off somewhere, never to be heard from again. Tina and Bette love and need each other so much along with their baby. I only wish Tina had heard all of that conversation. That might give her a little hope. Maybe Alice will pick up on what Bette said. Alice should know there is no need to defend jodi as she is defenseless and brought it on herself. YES!!! Thanks for posting.

    13. “had” – magic word!!! Ok, if Bette has not already broken up with Jodi, please make it brief (still scarred by “the longest breakup ever!). Tiff, will go the distance with you in their road to reconciliation. PPS!

    15. The worst thing about Alice is that you can’t hide anything… and it’s also the best thing. Just as well Bette let Tina walk ahead out of earshot, though. The use of that three-letter-word might have set up a conversation they’re not ready to have… or are they? Thanks for the post, tiff. :)

    16. Hello TD, I am back and ready to post my comments on this awesome adventure. WHy do I get a sense that Bette is not being completely honest with Tina about her relationship with Jodi. Bette seems to be suggesting that it is done and dusted. Does Jodi know this or is she stupidly ignoring the reality and pretending that they are still a couple. Alternativelyl has Bette really finished it with Jodi. It could be that in her head, Bette has made this decision but avoided saying it out loud with Jodi. Bette is being very supportive of Tina during this tough time. Having lost her parents without ever being truly accepted for who she is, is a sore spot on Bette’s psyche. Perhaps by getting Tina to talk to her Mom and come to terms with the fallout might be a redemptive process for Bette. It looks like Tina’s Dad is able to be honest with his child and accept her for who she is. I just can’t wait to see how this all plays out. More please. many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.

    18. Wow, Bette is speaking of her relationship with Jodi in the past tense…it sounds like she’s been doing some thinking during her time with Tina. It’s definitely a step in the right direction! I hope she breaks it off with Jodi before anything develops between Tina and her.

    19. seems we noticed ‘HAD’ more than the F word you were talking about! lol well, i hope that means we got rid of Jodie without having to read about it :) great stuff, tiff!

    20. Hum, what a blockbuster chapter ending you HAD there, haha! I’m hoping this means your Bette has decided to disentangle herself from Jodi. I’m sorry, but I don’t find Alice amusing here – I find her overbearing and obnoxious. She seems to have forgotten that Tina is her best friend, too. Thanks for this chappy, Tiff!

    21. Hmmm…I agree it is getting “better now”! Alice needs to be put in her place & stop reminding Bette of Tina’s past behaviour! PPS!

    25. No no no you cannot leave it at “had”please. Tjis ios killing me . I don’t know about you guys but Bette and Alice telephone converstation was wicked. I couldn’t stop laughing and I am still laugh just thinking about it. OMG that was soooo funny Oh Gosh I love it lol. PPVS very very soon

    30. :O “had”??? Tiff, come on. You can’t leave it there! HAD???????? Do you know how high my B&T hopes just went? They were maybe ankle high and now they’re way up into the exosphere. Please, please please please please please post very very very very very very soon :D Thank you!!!

    31. :O “had”??? Tiff, come on. You can’t leave it there! HAD???????? Do you know how high my B&T hopes just went? They were maybe ankle high and now they’re way up into the exosphere. Please, please please please please please post very very very very very very soon :D Thank you!!!
