Bette’s night seven months later
Things between Tina and myself have been great for six out of the last seven months. We have emotionally and sexually intimate. The last month or so has been OK but with no sexual intimacy, actually no sex at all and no real emotional intimacy. Tina has seemed a little distant and I attribute that to having a small child and being nine months pregnant. We argue about money but who with nearly two children doesn’t argue about money. The baby is due any day now. On occasion Tee has slept in the spare room.
I am so greatful to have had the opportunity to be here with Tina and Laurel through this pregnancy. Last time I missed entirely too much, all of it. Laurel is fast growing up into the beautiful young lady Tee and I knew she would be. It has been fascinating to see the baby grow inside Tina and frightening to think that we will responsible for two little people but it is a challenge I will meet head on with Tee. I still spend only 8am-6pm at work so that I have time with Tee and Laurel. The last month or so I have been tired and although Tina has said she is exhausted and she looks exhausted she has been staying up later than me. It has been a challenge for me to manage to balance work and home life, something I overlooked in a previous life with Tina. Trying to fit everything into my 10 hours at work often means skipping lunch but it is a small sacrifice to be with the children and Tina. My fears about Tina returning to work part time for Helena have proven unfounded.
Tonight Tina is at the Planet with Alice trying to talk some sense into her about Dana. That is to say letting go of the idea that she will be re united with Dana, who seems to have moved on just fine. Laurel is in bed and I am searching the internet to find the best places to look for wedding rings. Tina did not offer my commitment ring back to me. I think she is waiting for me to offer it to her, to show that I am truly ready to be a family again. I have decided to find a new one to signify our new life together. I look on the computer and see that it is 10pm, Tee will be home soon. I continue my search, there are hundreds of places that do same sex wedding rings, ceremonies and ‘wedding receptions.’ I get up and get myself a beer. I hear the small pop as I release the cap. I take a sip and place the bottle down next to the computer in the dimly lit room. I enter another search. I take a sip while the search is under way. In seconds I have pages of sites to look at. Just as I go to select one, up pops a message.

Oh damn, I guess I’m glutton for punishment. Hope you post more soon.
please don’t go where s3 is going, show is enough…i love the way you write, but can’t take more heartbreaks…it’s your story though, sorry
Great chapter. I hope you let them stay together. Post soon.
I hope you do not let S3 influences too much. Ups and downs but no break up. I waiited sooooo long for this story to continue but not in the lines of S3. Glad you are back!
I have been waiting for your update to this story and the moment I started reading I felt sadness wash over me. I don’t understand how Tina can be so nice with Bette while cheating on her all in the same breath. I so consider internet sex just as bad as actualy having an affair if not worse. Bette needs to confront Tina and I hope Tina has some sort of explanation. Please have them work it out. Althoug it’s painful to read I still enjoy your writting pleas post soon.
Siince the story is taking a new direction and there is some concern I thought I post briefly to clarify a few things. One I will not be following S3 storylines necessarily all the way or to the letter. For Brokke – I think you’ll find all was not as well as Bette thought. Tina might see things a bit differently. I agree internet sex is no different. If it is something you wouldn’t do with your partner there, don’t be doin’ it at all.
OMG you can’t leave us there…pls post soon
Well, it had been so long I had to click “previous” to see where the story had been, but things have changed so much I’m not sure I should have bothered. Poor Bette, contemplating wedding bands one second, being confronted by Tina’s cyber cock the next. Saw your comment. See you next time.
Hey Bette, cell phones cost money! Save it for the divorce lawyer! BTW – can someone tell my why the hottest woman in Weho is getting punk’d by ….nevermind…Thanks!
Don’t let S3 get to you too much….
Damn this is sad and drama coming!
I’m with BTF…enough with S3 cannot take anymore.
This is sooo good to have you back, thank you for the post. I give you my personal maestro award, I love your story ! biz ;-)
Hmmmm…Bette’s words of “I’m awake” are rather telling. Glad that you won’t be following S3 but I can only imagine what’s been going on in Tina’s head. How can Bette misread Tina for the past 6 months…she’s changed, surely she would’ve realised that something was off.
well hoeny, ive been gone as long as you. and wow im glad to see that youve posted. fuck is all i have to say also. wonderfully done but ETF is wrong with tina. thanks.
why do you have to incorporate season 3? Your story was doing fine without all that shit…Ok one more story I won’t be reading I guess.
Looks like we are infor abad ride. Bette cant afford to moveexcept to the uest room. Maybe Tina cyper sex friend will asked what she stopped in the middle of sex and she will know that Bette was the one. thanks
I’m going to trust you but I’m hating this s/l on the show so I hope you give us a great twist. I know you can write it well just don’t torture us too much we fans are already been mistreated by IC.
Tina: “fuck don’t tell me she is trying for sex again…Hoping to avoid sex I go to bed so I might be asleep when Bette arrives.” guess that says a lot
