Bette was exasperated. “When? When you were sleeping with Henry? When you were trying to convince me that Jodi was perfect for me or when you were telling me that Kate was hot.”
Tina stayed calm in the face of Bette’s temper. “Bette, we already talked about Henry but I didn’t tell you that as soon as I started seeing him and left you I realized I made a mistake. I never dated Kate – in fact it was you who pushed me to her for whatever reason. And when I tried to convince you to go after Jodi, it was because I thought she would give you the happiness that I took away.”
What’s changed?” Bette challenged.
“I realized that no one can love you like I can. Both of us have worked at being better people over the past year. I realized that the best person I can rely on is myself and you realized that you’re not the only one people can rely on and that you don’t always have to be in control. But Bette,” Tina added. “I love you for who you are. The problem I had was with me and I’ve worked through that.”
“Tina, I’m with someone now that I can trust. I don’t trust that you really want to be with me. You said all this before.”
Tina felt the tears slide down her face at Bette’s brutal honesty and at her inability to tell her about Jodi.
“Actually Bette, I didn’t. I wanted to have you with me and the baby like we were in the old days but it still wasn’t right and then what happened with the strains of your job…I didn’t do it right. This time I am.”
“By asking me to cheat on Jodi? I won’t ever cheat again.”
Tina took a moment to appreciate the irony of Bette’s resolve-now. “I won’t ask you to cheat. When you decide we were right for one another, and you will, then you can tell Jodi and we’ll start our life together again.”
Bette was silent for a moment – not sure where this confident and aggressive woman had come from. She was taken aback but not necessarily disappointed.
“Baby, not that you need it but I’ll let you get your beauty sleep. Don’t think on this too much. What is right, will happen. I love you Bette.”
And then she hung up leaving Bette to stare at the phone.
As confused as she was, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of hopefulness – of what, she wasn’t entirely sure or would admit to herself.

Yea, Tina.I tell you that Al needs to whisper about Jodi and Nicky in Bette’s ear. Bette thinks that she can trust Jodi? What a joke! PPS. Yes, while it’s true that as an author you leave yourself open for criticism but folks don’t need to be rude while commenting. Just a bit tactful.
I’ve been reading along but I haven’t comment until now and I must say this is a wonderful story. I think Alice needs to tell Bette what had happened with Jodi and Nicky because I think that will push Bette in the right direction to where Tina is. I have the feeling that Bette does still love Tina passionately and wants to be with her, she just needs a shove or more like a kick from good ol’ Al! LOL
I just now registered so that I could comment. I’ve been a silent reader for a couple of months now (new to this whole thing) but felt compelled to say ‘keep up the good work’. I love how you write these characters. I’ve read some stories, which shall remain nameless, that I felt had absolutely no connection with the Bette and Tina that we know and love. I simply quit reading those stories. As a (hopefully) potential poster I take heart in the fact that there are likely many more supportive comments than negative ones. Just wanted to say that and introduce myself to all. On with the story!! PPS.
In case I haven’t mentioned it before, Jodi sucks.
Wow!! Two post in one day, you know how to make a girl’s day. I can’t believe that Tina is being so noble about not telling Bette. But hey why hurt the one that you love when you can slowly work yourselves back to one another. PPS!! Love the way s/l is going.
I just want to add my support to you for this wonderful story. I know most everyone has said that Al should tell Bette about seeing Jodi with Nicky, but I’m not sure Bette would even believe her at this point. I think Bette needs to see this for herself because then there will be no doubt in her mind. I really love your writing Robi so please keep it up. Thanks!
You’re doing fine. Love the way you write, love this story. It has guts.
I am amazed that Tina did not reveal that she caught Jodi cheating on Bette. My only fear is that Jodi will not continue with her affair with Nicky to fight for Bette. In the long run we all know that Jodi will continue to cheat on Bette. Tina on the other hand knows how much Bette means to her and will continue to work on their relationship as a family and as lovers.
Tina is awesome and yeah win your woman back girl!
If I could give you 6 stars for this absolutely wonderful story I would, no doubt about it. Please continue!
jodi sucks big time…someone has to open bette’s eyes
Bette’s got *such* a dilemma on her hands… what’s the right decision? She’s got Tina, the love of her life, apologizing for the past hurts, declaring her love, and saying she’s willing to wait. Bette’s also got Jodi, unceremoniously dumping Angie in a back room whilst “babysitting”, having snogging sessions with her “sister”, and tattling on Tina to Bette cos she knows she can’t hold a candle to the ex. Decisions, decisions… and Bette doesn’t even know all the facts yet. Time for Tina to take off the gloves. All’s fair, etc. Great post, Robi.
Someone pleasz tell knucklehead Bette about Nicky & Jodi!!!! and go for it T, I like this assertive Tina…PPS
Jenny… Jenny… Jenny…. where are you… we need you to tell bette about jodie and her “SISTER”… sorry i have been away for a few days and i just caught up… love this story… and it could be on the show… damm it should be on the show… jodie doesn’t love bette… so it shouldn’t take too long… and i have to add something about a few chapters ago… jodie babysitting angie… and in another room… all by her self… thats a NO-NO for a hearing person… and now add jodie to that mix… she is lucky angie is a good baby and that nothing happened… please continue
Bette can’t trust Jodie…where did she get that from? Don’t fight your feelings Bette. Tina should have said something to Bette about Jodie being in the other room while “watching” Angie. Interested to see Tina’s next move.
Robi – nice story … girl friend and as a “dedicated” tibette fan, this story is trully one of my favorites so keep up the great work. Also thanks for doing 2 postings in one day, made my day , looking forward to your next posting
I say that you, and this story are welcome additions, you get Tina totally
I really like the way this story is developing – the pace, the characters depth/ethics. So glad you decided to keep going and you even seemed to have inspired some silent readers to “come out of the closet” so to speak!!PPS
I’m with Amanda, Jenny (Jodi’s favorite) should be the one to tell Bette, or Jodi could get caught by Bette. Either way once Bette finds out about Nancy, I hope that she finds out that Tina knew, but didn’t want to hurt her by telling he. Go B&T!!
Jodi is such a CHUMP for running to Bette about what Tina said to her. Why not juist step and take the challenge, Chump?
