    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina, 3 months after the end of Season 2.

    CHAPTER 9

     

    For the first time in a very long while, Bette Porter was speechless.  She looked back down at Tina’s hand, then back up at Tina’s face, then back down at the ring.  She repeated this process a couple of times in utter disbelief, and much to Tina’s amusement.  It wasn’t often that Bette didn’t know what to say.  The third time Bette looked from Tina’s hand to her eyes, something else caught her attention.  She saw a glimmer of silver around Tina’s neck.  It was hard to see under Tina’s hair and the neck of her t-shirt, but Bette was certain she saw it.  Bette looked confused, and started to speak. 

     

    "Is that…" Bette stumbled over the words, her eyes narrowing in a futile attempt to focus.

     

    Having realized that Bette was staring at her neck, Tina withdrew her hands from Bette’s, reaching into the neck of her t-shirt and slowly pulling out the chain, along with Bette’s ring.  Tears filled Bette’s chocolate eyes as Tina revealed Bette’s own commitment ring on the chain around her neck.  Bette was now certain that it was the same chain that she herself had worn to carry Tina’s ring close to her heart during their separation, and this revelation caused the tears to start rolling down Bette’s face, much the same way Tina had reacted earlier.  Tina wiped the tears away from Bette’s cheeks, and Bette reached out to lightly touch the ring, which was now lying against Tina’s breast. 

     

    She looked back into Tina’s eyes, her lips slightly parted as she struggled to find the right words.  Of course, this was another of those times when words were unnecessary between them.  Tina reached back behind her neck and unclasped the delicate silver chain.  She studied the ring in her hand for a few seconds, tracing the contours of the smooth metal, then looked at Bette.  Tina held Bette’s ring in her right hand, and slowly drew the chain out, allowing it to fall softly onto the coffee table. 

     

    “I love you, Bette.  And I believe this belongs here.”  She took Bette’s left hand in hers, her fingers underneath Bette’s palm, and slid the ring back to its rightful place on her ring finger.  “You’re my first, last, and forever, remember?”

    3. Oh great, the dreaded TBC… ok, ok just because this is a great story and you are an amazing writer I’m going to have to learn how to be patient! Still, don’t make us wait too long… pleeeease? Great chappy!

    4. Aww, Bette was mad sweet in this one. I’m glad there are so many chapters to this story already..its nice to read something long and not have to wait on updates. Next chapter is the one right? Or maybe the one after that?

    5. damn Bette is like a kid in a candy store, pacing around wondering what to do for 10 mins or part there of. So am guessing Tina went to pump huh and you made that happen cause you are just plain evil due to the fact that you like teasing ppl!!!

    10. I can understand why this one of your favorite chapters. I had to read it twice to fully delight in and savor every word. Just beautifully written. Love the slow, however agonizing, build-up…. but to mimic Bette’s words, “I don’t think I can wait any longer.”

    17. Here I am, minding my own business, browsing the new fic stories and I come across yours…Just read it from the start and you end it here?? Thats SO not right! Love the story, look forward to your update….umm…like now would be good…

    18. Steph!!! You left it there!?? GRRRRRR. You definately like to tease us don’t you? Okay, this line..”It wasn’t often that Bette didn’t know what to say,” was one I had to laugh at, only because it just reminded me of me. Ness has told me that its on those occassions when I’m speechless, that I actually speak volumes~ Go figure! LOL. Thanks for a fabulous update. Can’t wait to read more.

    20. Okay, now is that 9 mins 45 seconds LWord hiatus time or real time Steph. You are killing us girl!! S-L-O-W B-U-R-N bummer!! Hope you are enjoying yourself……….pps

    21. I love the build up of this story. There is so much for Bette and Tina to discover and rediscover about each other on their way to bed. Thank you for reposting this because I am STILL enjoying it thoroughly.

    25. Absolutely beautiful – I could see Jennifer and Laurel playing this scene with the rings, if only IC had your vision. Anyway it was awesome and then it got wonderful hot – you write so very very well. But you sure do know how to tease a reader.

    27. Okay…so I’m behind and playing catchup, but I love this chapter so much because I’m a sappy romantic! The description of how Bette recognized the rings and the chain was so touching! Warmed the cockles of my mushy butch heart! And the slow burn is so appropriate here, as Bette gives Tina the reassurance of her love that she needs! So now, because I have waited, I can now read the other prelude to “the chapter”, which I know for sure will not disappoint! You truly know how to craft this tale in the way so many of us would have wanted to see on the show itself!
