Tina’s tears have been hard to stop tonight. Her arms are wrapped around Bette as Bette obliges her emotions by stroking her face and hair with her left hand, while her right hand caresses Tina’s right shoulder.
Tina: I’m sorry I screwed you up…
Bette: …Tee?
Tina: I am, Bette… You had the Art World at your fingertips… You had life…you had everything.
Bette: Tina, this isn’t solely your fault. We just drifted…
Tina: …We wound up with too many different people. Too many fights, too many arguments… Bette, we weren’t always like this…
Bette: Maybe it was that seven year itch. Maybe we just took too long to become more serious about our relationship.
Tina: Too late to start a family…
Bette: I don’t think it was all bad, though. I mean after all…we do have Angelica.
Tina smiles if only for a second.
Tina: She’s become our saving grace. We went through Hell making that happen.
Bette: Well…with the problems and the miscarriage and that Fay Buckley bitch…
Tina: And the carpenter.
Bette feels a little annoyed, but understands.
Bette: Yeah…Candace. If I could take it all back, Tina I would…
Tina: I wouldn’t worry about it now. I’ve done plenty since then to pretty much torpedo us. Helena…Josh…Henry… God, I feel like a slut now…
Bette: You’re not a slut, Tee. You’re the mother of our child. You’re Mama Tee. And maybe this goes for both of us, but we’re now at that point where…I don’t know…maybe we’re still trying to figure out what it is we want. I used to think it was each other. Now, I’m not so sure.
Tina: …It must’ve been painful for you to watch me and Henry.
Bette: Sure, but…if he made you happy, then who was I to stop it?
Tina: Bette…the only time I was happy was when I had Angelica. Remember….remember all of us in the hospital room afterwards?
Bette: Of course I remember. Proudest day of my life.
Tina: I guess we both finally got what we wanted…
Bette: Yeah…I guess so…
There’s an uneasy silence that takes over the room.
Dana’s couch is occupied by all three ladies. Alice leans against the arm of the couch with her arms around Dana’s shoulders as Dana’s arms around Lara’s waist. Lara’s hands clinch Dana’s as her feet drape over the other arm of the couch.

WOW! Ya made me feel bad for everyone (except for Tina). Really moving chap., the song worked perfectly. Great stuff.
Bette & Tina are tearing me apart. My heart can’t take too much more.
that was amazing
wow that was emotional,great stuff kace.
All I can say is WOW!!
That was totally gut-wrenching… in a good way. I liked the lyrics intertwining with the individual scenes. Very visual effect, that. Welp, at least Angus and Kit and Max are sleeping well tonight. Lara has *got* to get herself out of that messed-up triangle. Bette and Tina seem done and dusted. I’m guessing Leigh might not prove to be enough of a distraction for Helena… she’ll be making her move soonish? Unless Winnie has something to say about it? And… you’ve done it. I finally have some sympathy for Carmen. Post when you can.
OK, finally the Lara/Dana/Alice tension is broken, phew, but ugh, Lara is awfully passive in this equation, which can’t bode nicely for her well-being. Maybe she and Carmen are two lonely hearts longing for companionship? I just hope they’d have more than angsty drama to base things on-not that there’s anything wrong with drama, lol…How long to Alice and Dana think this three-way can really go on? I enjoyed how you interwove the scenes this time with music. Love it, keep updating when you can, it’s feeding my fic crack habit…
as always…great job… can’t wait for more… :)
