Tracing the outline of Bette’s lips with her fingertip Tina felt them begin to quiver softly.
She slipped her hand behind Bette’s neck and pulled her to her until their foreheads rested together. Tears were seeping from Bette’s tightly closed eyes as she lifted her head slightly and pressed her lips into Tina’s hair.
“Bette this is all so over-whelming for me right now. I never expected for you to be here with me with us. I have so many emotions running wild that I don’t know where one starts and another one begins. In my head I know exactly what I want to say but every time I look at you my heart steps in and all I want to do is pretend like nothing happened. We both know that until we accept and understand what went wrong we can’t get past it.” Tina said as she felt her own tears beginning to fall once more. “Bette I can’t tell you if or when I can ever trust in you, believe in you again. You know that you hurt me but I’m not sure that you realize just how deeply that hurt runs.”
Bette looked into her eyes and sighed. “I know that I destroyed both of us Tina,” she whispered. “If you will allow me though I will wait however long it takes to make things right. I am not going anywhere.”
Smiling softly at Bette she looked around the room once again. Each time she looked she noticed something different. As she walked closer to the tree she recognized the color scheme of the decorations and sighed. “Bette this tree is almost the same as the one that we had when we went on our honeymoon.” Tina asked in amazement, “You remembered that?”
Walking up behind her Bette said quietly, “I remember everything about you, about us. From the first time I met you until the night you left me. I wanted so desperately to come after you but the look on your face as you walked out the door was one of pure hatred. I just wanted to run after you and tell you that regardless of how much you hated me it could never match the hatred I had for myself. The only thought that has kept me going all this time was that you had given me the best years of my life and somehow, somewhere I had to be sure that I told you that.” Bette gently wrapped her arms around Tina’s waist, “You brought light into my world, taught me to see things that I had always taken for granted in a different way and most importantly you taught me how to love. I always knew where home was because our love burned so brightly there.”

I have been a silent reader for a while. I have to tell you that I have been totally enjoying your story. I know that B & T have a ways to go, but they do belong together.
I was really excited when I saw that you had posted. I am enjoying this story. I certainly don’t condone cheating but for some reason with BP I find myself willing to forgive but only one time. If there is a second time then don’t let the door hit you on your way out.
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
Alice is the new Yoda..lol..wise words to Bette..cant wait for more thanks :o)
Tina seems to forget her ring. Another great chapter as always.
DAMN RIGHT!! this chap was just what i needed, damn that was good. a 1,001 thank you’s. please post soon. PEACE.
Good chapter. Glad they talk a little bit and can’t wait to see more and let them happy. Post soon please, thans! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
“I never allowed myself to believe in forever until I saw you two together…” Yes, I guess that’s why we all love Bette and Tina and why we all root for them to be together.
“I want you to be able to follow the light home.”….. wow….
When I was younger, I also think cheating is unforgivable. But now I feel like if s/he sincerely regrets and wants us back, I may consider give him/her another chance. And if it’s Bette Potter, I’ll definitely give her another chance. LOL. And Bette and Tina’s case is not a simple cheating. They both contributed to the mistake and Bette never thought of covering it or telling lies, so… It’s so different as what Tina will do in Season 3. :'(
Even we of the smart-ass persuasion appreciate a bit of hope ever now and again. Tina should ‘fess up about Sheri. And yeah, what’s with Alice being wise and stuff?
I am glad you are a hopeless romantic with our girls! I know that cheating is a hard thing to forgive but every relationship is different. I think I could forgive. So thank you for this story.
Think that when Tina makes up her mind,thing will be different but better.They will need time. thanks
“Please leave them on,” replied Tina softly. As Bette closed the door Tina whispered quietly, “I want you to be able to follow the light home.”Now that was my favorit part it really is so romantic. I wish Bette had heard her so there could be a little flamey light in her heart. Great chapter.
“I want you to be able to follow the light home”, damn I wanted to cry. This story just keep getting better. Of course theirs going to be some bumps along the way, but those two love each other like the rest of us can only hope for, not only do they belong together, its their destiny. Please update again soon.
I am really enjoying how you are plotting this story out. Pls continue
i am with alice… they can be better… love your story… and i know thet will make it… and that also goes for the show… please continue
sweet
yep, their love is precious and true and things can get better, they both have to try
Happy that you posted. I’m not condoning cheating, but since it is fiction — I’m truly a romantic when it comes to Bette & Tina. Let’s hope that Tina can allow herself to heal the pain that Bette caused. Thanks for the chapter, please post soon.
Alice with the words to Bette was very Yoda.
