The Long and Winding Road – Chapter 31
The farewells were quickly said and Bette put an arm around Tina as they left in silence. They reached Tina’s car and climbed in. Tina didn’t turn the engine on immediately preferring to gather her own thoughts. Finally Bette’s silence began to disturb her.
Bette could not pin down what emotion was the most prevalent in her mind at that moment. What she did know for sure was she would never let Tina get so lost again.
“Please say something Bette — anything “
===========================================
“I’m tired Tina and so are you – lets just go home eh ? “
Tina fought back tears – she had been against the crazy dinner idea from the start . She had only agreed because Bette was so sure it was the only way of finding out a few facts about the man who was genetically one half of their baby.
Tina also guessed that Bette wanted to see the man whose child she would be bringing up.
Tina knew that Bette still had a lot of questions about Tina’s behaviour – hell Tina had the same questions – like why had she been so freaking stupid ? And for her
not to think of the implications after the event – putting Bette at risk. Tina still hated herself.
Tina started the car and they drove home in total silence. She could feel the bile rising in her mouth. Tina fought the nausea that kept sweeping over her again and again. She parked the car in the drive and got out quickly hoping that Bette would not query the hasty exit. She made it to a dark corner of the garden before throwing up. She retched several times getting the vomit out – finally when she was finished she turned and saw Bette in the semi shadows a few metres away.
What am I going to do with you eh ? “ Bette said softly
“I am so sorry “ Tina managed to say between sobs
Bette moved forward and pulled Tina into her arms. Tina fought for a few seconds but her desire to surrender into Bette’s hold overtook her. Bette held her as she cried herself out.

I agree with Lamey, NO ABORTION. It would crush Bette and maybe their life together. I really don’t think that Bette could take the idea of an abortion after loosing theor first child. Yes, Shane is trust worthy, but Tina needs to trust Bette and what she says. I guess it is only fair that Tina has Shane to talk to since Bette is talking to Helena, but they really need to rely on each other, because at the end of the day it will be them, their family and their life together. Please continue :o)
Hey Ally! I agree – Bette has chilled alot. Can’t see her sitting through that dinner a few years back, that’s for sure! Great thought to have Tina consult Yoda! Shane always knows when to say what, and what not to say, and when. ??? Well you know what I mean! I understand why Tina has booked herself on the first class guilt trip that she is on – but what’s more importantly is the fact that she has learned something from this experience. She’s not nearly as naive as she was, and I have to agree with Bette when she says that Tina was “so lost.” Tina’s just really blessed to have Bette and her friends to light the path so she can find her way back. Hope you are well and you have a great weekend too! Thanks for another great chapter!
I can understand Tina wanting to be held by Bette with no questions or comment. In Jobadge’s case, I think she just wants to cut to the chase. Can’t blame her. The only thing wrong with Tina talking to Shane is that she SHOULD be talking to Bette about her feelings.
is good to Tina to talk to somebody else cause she can to pour out one’s woes and in this way maybe she won’t make comments to regrets. But she will to reward Bette for all her love! take care and i am so glad you post it!
Does Tina think by talking to Shane her guilty feelings will disappear? That was a LOW BLOW equates the two infidelities as if that made them even. Tina still hasn’t totally forgiven Bette, IMO. I almost wish Bette wasn’t so forgiving of Tina fucking two random men and then having sex w/a pregnant Bette. She completely disregarded both Bette’s and the unborn baby’s health b/c she wanted some of Bette’s pussy. If that isn’t a skanky dog, I don’t know what is. She still has that passive-aggressive behavior and that morally superior attitude. And I am a huge TiBetter. Bette is so forgiving and accepts Tina’s lowlife behavior as Tina being “lost” b/c of something Bette did several years ago. Arrgghh.
Oh my god these woman are going through hell. No abortions and lots of talking to each other
An abortion—where did that come from—don’t remember reading anything about that in this chapter–especially as Tina was so desperate to get pregnant that she had two one night stands because Henry couldn’t get her pregnant. Oh yeah—Henry the guy she was with when she had the one night stands—which means she cheated on him not Bette. Bette and Tina have put each other and themselves through hell and back. Hopefully their undying love and devotion can each have them forgive themselves and each other and move forward with the new and growing family they are soon to have. Ally, I love this story and all the others—present and past. Please keep writing your kind of B&T love for us. You are an amazing author. Thanks so much.
Good chapter. Yes Tina’s secret is safe with Shane and maybe talk to Shane will help her and she will make thing right and make it up to Bette and take care of her and a baby. OK post soon please, thanks!
Tina needs to let the guilt go…Bette is back and they will make it work. Thanks Ally!
Tina is really beating herself up over this. Tina did not cheat on Bette but on Henry but it was so out her character to do what she did. I am a little concerned about Bette. She said that the baby feels different. Like he is preparing himself to begin his outside life with his mothers.
the emotional obstacles B&T are attempting to overcome are horrendous.you have given them ample room in their hearts to put it all past(i think). in the end it comes down to love. Sue
Okay here’s what caused the “no abortion” outburst from me: “I have no idea what to do for the best.” It made me think that Tina was considering other options besides staying with Bette forever and raising 2 children with her. It was just a kneejerk reaction.
Great chapter – I think meeting the two men was a dumb idea for both of them but they have been known to do dumb things before. Finding the way to heal this for Tina is going to be a challenge she doesn’t see to have matured in the way Bette has. Loving your writing as always – hope you are doing OK – keep on keeping on as the saying goes.
No abortion allowed, Tina! Bette already loves that little baby and would be beyond crushed. Still loving this story!
I love them both, no more regrets, no agonising, what’s done is done…would it make any difference if Tina had got pregnant with some non raandom man like Bette did, sperm is sperm, a baby is a baby; and as for whose worse than the other? leave it alone…Candace is old news as is Henry…they both done each other wrong but for their sakes and for their babies MOVE ON…
i hope shane will give her a very good advice, the one that will keep B&T together forever
Great chapter as always Ally, and what concerts abortion, well that’s completely a decision to take for the couple, with no interference from whoever, that’s my opinion.
I know Tina’s secret is safe with Shane and she does need someone to talk to but she should have kept her mouth shut.
I was eagerly waiting for a chapter from you and you certainly didn’t dissapoint. Thanks Ally! Love this story! Now that the ordeal of meeting the probable fathers is over, i think it’s time for B&T to move on. They both have a partner and a baby to take care of …
Ah… you sweetie, i think I prefer oyster to clam!!! Do you know I desperately want Bette Porter to hold me with no questions and no comments too, TK better do whats right by her!!
