“That was when I really realised that I was coping so badly with the prospect of being a parent. I felt – I felt trapped “
Tina looked at Bette and saw sadness in her eyes.
“Why trapped ? “
“Because – as much as I wanted the baby and as much as I loved you — and I did – I swear I never once stopped loving you. I was so mixed up – I had my wife who I would do anything for and she was carrying our baby – and I was so scared “
“Go on “
“Everything I did was because of obligation – to my father, to CAC, to Kit and “
“To me ?”
“I don’t know –I just know I felt that I was sinking very slowly – so slowly that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye. I lost myself – at times I didn’t know who I was – I was just all these titles — gallery director, daughter, wife and mother to be – I was never just Bette Porter “
Bette didn’t know if Tina would understand what she was talking about. But she did want to talk it through – she needed to explain her infidelity and this was an important prelude to what had happened a few weeks later.
Tina took hold of Bette’s hand and squeezed it. Talking about her feelings had always been like getting blood out of a stone with Bette but she had changed and they had got a lot of stuff out in the open since their reunion. But this was one of the big areas that they had both steered away from.
“I was putting you under a lot of pressure wasn’t I ? Looking back on it now – I see how I treated you. “
“We were both so sure that a baby would bring us closer. We never stopped to consider that it might be the wedge between us. We saw things differently – I wanted to protect you and for you never to work again because that was how I was brought up to believe I should treat my life partner. I acted like Melvin – I treated you “

i just got all caught up great story!!!!!!!
It was nice to see Bette let out all of her inner pain that lead to her leaving the country. The pain that both of them felt was finally revealing itself to each other. That overwhelming pain was at last being set free from both of them. Even in your time of pain you bring us joy. Thank you for this chapter.
This is beautiful and amazing!!!!
i’m glad they are talking as well and planning things, can’t wait for the first baby being born
great! so lovely chapter, this memories make understand better the Bette’s Fears.
Hey Ally – thanks for posting two (maybe three) stories today! Your writing is very pure with sweet love and it gives us hope!
Ally, That was a perfect piece of love and understanding between Bette and Tina. The way is which they both trusted on another and opened up emotionally as well as physically was mind blowing. The care and attention that they both lavished on the other was magical and a testament to how far they have come and of how toghther they are now. A fairytale romance with a sizzingly ending. More please, real soon. Thank you for this treasure to mull over again and enjoy. Your Loyal Fan.
Ah thank you Ally – a nice coffee break read – just what i needed!(i’m doing job applications!) Hope all is good with you now.
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh that was lovely, I can breathe now, you do write so well, take care…until next time…
Well done. That was a journey to the past that that hit all the points. Thanks Ally well done.
What a wonderfull story again. You are a briljant writter and have honest heart for Bette and Tina. I love it all. Pleace post more!!!!
It’s good that they’re still communicating and not sweeping things under the rug.
Ally, this chapter is something else. It evoked so many different emotions in me that for once I can’t find the right words to discribe how this chapter made me feel. So let me just say this—what a great chapter.
Thank you, Ally. Now are we going to have to revisit that whole Clinton/if it’s not penile penetration it’s not sex debate? How in Alice’s estimation did 69 cease being sex and get relegated to making out? Oh well, the woman has many curious ideas, like lusting after the male ‘lesbian’. Like entering other peoples’ homes uninvited. Really nice to see you post again.
i am usually a silent reader, but i just had to thank you for what a certain part of your chapter has done for me. let me just put it this way–one of your descriptions of Tina making love to Bette has reached certain parts that other chapters cannot.
Wow this was good, they are talking and getting things out. Will they REALLY move to England?
That conversation was long overdue and much needed especially now that they are begining anew. Thanks for posting!
Great chapter AllyE, hope you are feeling BETTEr. This was something they had needed to do for some time now.
Wow. lovely! Great chapter on so many levels. Thanks Ally.
Holy cow, holy cow, that’s all I can utter now….
WoW., someones been busy over the weekend..It made me think what Beth had gone through..we tend to lose who we really are when we are so consumed of responsibilities, to enjoy life and love is just to be plain and simple; “us” for who we are and what we are.. foot fetish heh..nice
LOL @ laments comment… Or more what I was thinking while reading that comment: ‘Much better purposes for that rug… ;) ‘ LOL Thanks Ally! Wonderfull as always!
Hey Ally, hope you had a really good weekend. reading this post made my morning. you really know how to incorporate depth and range. At one point i was laughing and at another point almost crying. I’m really glad Bette and Tina are talking about their past.I hope that helps to put it behind them.Post soon =)
Thanks for giving us another wonderful chapter – T&B love and clearing up some pain from the past. Hope you are doing better and taking care of yourself while giving us the gift of your voice through these great stories.
