The house shook violently as the front door slammed which made Bette jolt awake. Looking around sleepily and rubbing her eyes, ridding them of their bleariness, she realized why and by whom the noise occurred. Tina, oh god my Tina. What the ***** have I done? She thought, remembering the nights past events. The two had collapsed on top of each other after the embarrassment and pain they had suffered as the consequence of Tinas discovery and had fallen asleep. As the memory flooded back the tears began to slip down her face and slide down dripping onto the sheets. Thats when the bedroom door opened, and she saw her. Standing there staring intently at Bette. T she began to plead. Dont Bette. Her wife looked at her hard watching for something, as if trying to reaffirm a very important decision. And then she found her answer. Seeing Bette crumbling both physically and mentally made it easy. I cant hear your apologies right nowI dont know that I ever want to hear them. Because if it truly meant nothing, then theres nothing to be sorry for. Bette was confused. She doesnt want me to apologizeor she doesnt want to forgive me? She doesnt want to be with me? Oh Christ why am I so screwed up. How could I have made things so horrible? Tina, I never she tried to explain herself, and apparently it was a wrong move because Tina blew up. Jesus ***** Christ Bette! Can you ever let anyone have a second to talk!? Maybe if you did we wouldnt be in this situation. Just try not to talk for more than 10 seconds okay? Do you think you can handle that? Tina asked staring at her fiercely. Bette nodded too afraid to speak again. Shed only seen Tina like this a couple times, but never directed towards her with this much intensity. Im so angry at you right now; I really dont even want to see your face because at the moment you make me sick. I would even go as far as to say at this very second; I hate you. She said it with venom, with so much animosity it broke her wife, who exploded into sobs. Quietly she unfolded her arms and walked over bending down and placing one hand on Bettes knee and using the other to turn her head out of her hands so they could lock eyes. But as much as Im angry with you, Im a thousand times angrier at that ***** dirty carpenter. She knew about us, and yet she pursued youand I shook hands with her, looked her in the eyeand thanked her for her help with the center, it makes me sick that someone could be that deceptive. She looked at Bette dead on now, and she knew that she wasnt just directing that last part at Candace. Bette was now reeling from what Tina was saying. She wants us to work this out, she wants to be together. But she wasnt all together convinced yet, she needed to hear something else but she want allowed talking. So she just looked hoping her partner of almost 8 years would get the non verbal communication Tin wrapped her arms around Bettes waist and could tell that Bette was dying to say something. Go ahead. Tina gave her permission. Bette wiped at her eyes, swiping the tears away that kept falling. T, I dont get what youre saying. Do you want to work this out together? What aboutuhml-last night? Sighing Tina looked into the eyes of a woman she thought she knew, but this Betteshe had no control, Tina could walk out right now and she knew, if that was her decision, that Bette wouldnt be able to survive without her. And she knew that same was true for herself, Bette was her lifeline. Tina looked up and saw her love staring at her expectantly. Bette, last night, what happened was desperation; plain and simple. You didnt force me into something I didnt want. I wanted you to realize what you were losing. Dont think for a second you hurt me physically. Although I wish I could say that I didnt hurt you either, I did, and Im ashamed that I could do that to you. I had no right. She said almost in a whisper as she caressed a slightly scabbing and bruised cheek from where she had drawn blood from her wife. I saw that this morning when I woke up, and I needed to get out. I couldnt believe I did that to you. Bette brought her hand to the back of Tinas head and smoothed her hair. Its okay, really, it will healI deserved it for all the hurt Ive put on you. She couldnt help but smile at Bette. Babe, you didnt deserve that, I cant even believe I had the nerve to think of that as a solution. As to the other part of your questionI want to fix this. Tina placed her hand on either side of Bettes face minding the injury. I cant be without you, it would hurt more than you being unfaithful to out life together. It would make me feel like you didnt think this was worth trying to mend. If thats the way you feel tell me nowI dont think Ill be able to handle it if you tried just for my sake. Bette was astonished that Tina even thought she would give up. T, baby, I know you cant trust these words just yet, but youre my existenceI couldnt be able to live if you left me. I love you every millisecond Im breathing. And I want to fix this so badly. Tina smileda genuine smile. Okaywell fix thisI know we can. It wont be anything remotely near easy. I can guarantee there will be days I wont be happy in the slightest, but you cant expect anything more than that I guess. Bette nodded saying she understood. Tine backed up after placing a feather light kiss on Bettes forehead. She always knew that Tina was optimistic alwaysand it gave her relief that she could almost be normal Tinabut she thought of somethingshe didnt want to be the same Bette. She couldnt. TinaI want to go to therapy. Tina froze and turned around to look at Bette shocked. Seriously? Bette nodded. Thats great babe. Couples? Or just you? Bette didnt think they needed couples counseling. Communication between them was always good, until Bette started at the CAC and could barely make time for her home life. Just me. She said getting up and heading towards the bathroom. Tina watched her and was curious as to what she was thinking. Bette? Receiving just a smile she went to her wife and gave her a small but extremely meaningful kiss on the lips. A kiss that made a promise of a previously uncertain future. Get cleaned up, Ill make food, and then I think we should go out for a bit. Tina said the last part seriously, making Bette want to question her further but she was pushed into the bathroom before she could get it out. So she surrendered to the temptation of a warm soothing shower, while the love of her life made breakfast.

Oh My God,,,,
You have the best story i love your optimism i know that in the actual show it won’t happen but i couldn’t give a rats arse.
This is what i WISH would happen ……
Good JOB and i definetly can’t wait for the next chapter…
But please don’t be toying with us and bette will wake up and it didn’t happen…
i think this is great. i like how you didnt make tina give up so easily. i like that you have her strong enough to stay.
I,myself have never gome through this,but a lot of our friends did. Tina is on the right track,They both have a long hard road to go.It will take both of them to fight and win. Tina will need to be the strong one. Bette reminds me of a flower that has been in the hot sun and needs water,then a summer shower comes along and it lift it flowery head and becomes beautiful again,Bette needs Tina like the flower need the rain this is really life.Keep going Thanks
I am hoping that you will continue with this story. I have gone and read the comments, an I amin agreement with the one’s who say work it out. For we after all are ADULTS and we all should know what an how responsibility is. Sure sometimes we fall an make mistakes. We all have a role in our relationships, an sometimes when we are faced with a situation like B&T are facing right now the partner who feel hurt an betrayed actually has to look back an see what role she or he has played. So there are grey lines here. No definite No’s or Yes’s. For we all have to live with the decisions we make, an sometimes it we wished just maybe it wasn’t done so hastly. So I say go ahead with another chapter. But Tina must correct her self with the statement that Candance was at fault completely. For if it wasn’t for Bette their wouldn’t of been any infidelity. Also Tina has to come to terms that she also played a role with pushing Bette away. So I hope to see another chapter.
I truly believe more couples should take the time to work at it-definitely more than 2 or 3 times. It’s just too easy to walk away. Isn’t anybody strong?
Committment should be up-held to the highest pedestal. You or your partner shoild always try until there is an absolute chance not making it work out. You take a vow you should honor it. I am glad to see that you have taken this path. It saddens me that most of the stories that are posted Tina & Bette run away from their committment to each other. Their was a story that was started awhile back, that was allowing Bette & Tina to talk it out at some resort but it stopped. So again I am glad to see this route taken, we should always try first even if it means swallowing our pride and be embrassed. After all we are the one’s who will ultimately live with the decisions and consequences. Thanks for this story.
I wish it’ll show on TV like this. But,it wouldn’t be good drama according to IC. My version of good TV is Bette would have never cheated on Tina.
I think you are on to something here judging from all the responses. This is more realistic than the show. I have been on both sides of this situation and there are ways to talk and sometimes work it out. Then there can be talk and no solution in sight. I’ve experienced both resolutions – leaving in one case and working it out in the other. Life is interesting and so is this story. Thanks for writing.
Second chapter Shadow’s comment
like it, but tina will break.
hmmmmmmmmm, what about Candace? As of this point in time, she has no clue she’s being shafted-left in the cold-getting her heart ripped out and stomped on………..however, she probably should’ve known better……..she knew about Tina…..even before she *I couldn’t just leave without telling you ‘all day all I wanted to do was to kiss you……..tell me if you want to stop’*!
But, yeah I diffintly like this and I want/need to read more………lot more! ;D 5-stars
We all should know that if we cross that line, are we ever going to get back. Some act before thing of the consequences, some do an have this mental mentality that they are capable of doing it and not getting caught. But you see our minds and our bodies give us away. In Bettes case she was brazen with her ehavior, and felt that she wouldn’t be seen or would she? So now here is a story that is saying to us that responsibility and committment is the right way to go. Yes in most cases it is, for I am an advocate for holding up and to Honor your responsibilities. For Bette has made a mistake, and she is remorseful for doing so. I feel that it is the most respected thing for Tina to do is to hold her committment to Bette and to work these problems out. If there can be no resolution then go and dissolve the marriage etc. But here in the U.S. it is so common to throw your hands up in the air say I give up and walk away with out even trying. It is very sad when you think how Adults act in this coubtry for ones own self indulgances. We should be ashamed of it, and if we would prehaps the writers would of reconsidered their little diversion for Bette and had them actually work on their Problems and make their union stronger and more open with communication.Then they could of proceeded down that path again to have another child and to have that Family that they wanted.So I say go ahead, we have learned so much with Maries story and how Both were at fault with the down fall of their relationship.Now we are being showed how hard it has been for each to come to terms with it and making it stronger. There are so many grey lines, one just has to go with how and what is best for them.

I think in this country, respect and trust are sometimes more important then anything else. We place more value on it then say, forgiveness. Wrong or right, we do it. Now you bring up a good point about how people in this country are quick to throw up their hands. however, people who cheat are aware of that fact as well. So I ask, why cheat then? Especially if you know that’s the one thing that so commonly destroys a relationship? They are both responsible for fixing their marriage. But, they are not both responsible for taking the first step in destroying it. I like this. It’s evoking a lot of strong feelings. Please continue. I’d love to see where you’re going with it. Well, and the future comments. lol
