When desire takes over, a l word fanfic

When desire takes over.

the girls are all gathered at the Planet for Kit's performance. She's introducing her new cd tonight and the place is already pretty crowded. Alice, Shane and Helena are already seated at their usual table.

Alice : oh hey Shane have you spoken to Bette lately? Is she going to be here tonight?

Shane : of course she's going to be here Al, it's her sisters' performance for christ sake. She's not gonna miss that.

Helena : yes I guess not, how's she doing lately Shane?

Shane : she's pretty ok now. It took a while for her to get over it but now she has her new job and stuff she's doing good, really.

Helena : glad to hear that, cause she's been through some rough times, I know I've been there myself. Oh there's Kit ah and Bette 's with her.

Alice : Hey Porter come sit wit us

Bette : yes in a minute Al, I'm here to support my sister. Go ahead sis I know you'll blow them away. You can do this.

Kit : Thanks baby sis. I guess I better go. Will you do me the honour and announce me?

Bette : with pleasure

Bette walks over to the DJ booth and asks the girl to stop the music so she can get everyone's attention.

Bette : ladies and gentlemen we are gathered here today because my sister, the famous performer has released a new CD and she w anted us to be the first to enjoy her new songs. May I have your applause for the famous ….. KIT PORTER.

Everyone starts claping their hands and whistle as Kit walks up to the middle of the dancefloor and takes the microphone Bette hands her. Bette gives her a kiss on the cheek and walks over to the table where her friends are seated. She looks around the place and sees all those people dancing and enjoying themselves on Kit's music which makes her very proud of her sister. Suddenly her eyes meet those of a sexy brunette and she gets up, walks over to the dancefloor and starts dancing with this beautiful young girl.

Alice : hey who's that girl Porter is dancing with all o sudden?

Shane : dunno Al I've never seen her before but Bette seems to have fun.

Helena : yes it looks that she's going to have more than just fun, look at her, damn I never saw Bette dancing this hot.

Shane : I guess the old Bette is back

Alice : yeah and I don't know weather I like it or hate it.

Helena : what do you mean by that Alice. Bette is enjoying herself and she's entitled to have a good time isn't she?

Alice : yes sure she is but the old Bette means Bette the player Helena.

Helena : oh now I get it. Oh my god no…. Look…

Both Alice and Shane turned their heads towards the way Helena pointed out and they saw Tina walking in.

Shane : oh boy shit is going to happen tonight.

Tina saw the girls sitting at theit usual table and walked over there, avoiding all the looks in her direction as she was dressed incredibly sexy tonight.

Tina : hey girls how are you all doing tonight? It's pretty crowded huh.

Helena : hello Tina how are you ? Long time no see? What brings you over here ?

Tina : I'm fine Helena thanks. Well I'm here for the same reason you all are I guess. I heard about Kit's CD and I wouldn't want to miss it.

Shane : have a seat Tina. You want something to drink?

Tina : yeah I would like a mojito Shane, it's been a while since I last drank that. So where's Bette?

Alice : well mmm she's …

Tina : what ? You don't mean she's not here? At her own sister's performance?

Helena : well Tina actually she is here, she's just….

Tina : what? What's the matter with you girls? Is she seeing someone? You can tell me, I 'm not glass you know I can handle it if she's involved with someone again,

She turned around and had a look on the dancefloor when she suddenly spotted Bette dancing with a young girl. It wasn't just dancing she could see both women were really getting into it.

Tina : what the …. What's going on over there?

Helena : she's just having a good time Tina, let her be. You said it yourself she was entitled to ..

Tina : shut up Helena, she's still my wife and I'm gonna stop this charade right now as she moved over to the dancefloor.

Alice : oh no now we're on for some drama. Shane let's go we have to stop her.

Both girls moved over to the dancfloor as well trying to stop Tina but it was already too late, she had reached Bette and her dancepartner and she pushed the young girl aside.

Girl : what the heck?! What's your problem girl? Can't you see we are having a good time here

Tina : my problem is that you're having a good time seducing my wife and that' s not gonna happen dear. Not today, not tonight not ever you hear me, so step off bitch.

Bette : what the fuck Tina we aren't even together anymore, when are you ever gonna stop ruining my life?

Tina : I didn't come here to ruin your life Bette. I came here to have a good time so now dance with me for old time's sake.

She turns around, grabs Bette's hands and places them on her thighs while she grinds her hips into Bette. Bette didn't know how to react at first but soon she felt familiar dancing with Tina again. Their bodies mold into each other as if they had never been apart. Soon they were both lost n their own little world forgetting where they were. Tina took Bette's hands into her own and slid them over her body going all the way up from her thighs over her stomach to her breasts and back down again.

In the meanwhile the other girls were watching them in disbelief.

Alice : what the fuck is all that all about?

Shane : well I guess we better move back to our table cuz we're not needed here anymore.

Alice : helloo Shane we can't let this happen she's going to hurt Bette again?

Shane : Al cut it out Bette is a grown woman she can take care of herself.

She turns around and walks back up to the table where she joins Helena again.

Helena : I can't believe this is happening.

Shane : so can't I but we better stay out of this ok

Helena : sure, it's their life anyway.

Bette and Tina kept on dancing the night away, Tina had turned around and faced Bette now. She had pulled Bette closer into her as she looked her in the eyes. Their lips were barely a few inches apart from each other. As the music turned into a slow dance Tina brushed her lips against Bette's letting her tongue slide over them askng for entrance. Bette parted her lips allowing Tina 's tongue in and as soon as their tongues met they start their own dance together. Both woman moan into each other's mouth as it had been so long since they last kissed and it felt as if they finally came home. As their kiss deepend hands were roaming all over each others bodies. Suddenly Bette realized what they were doing and where they were so she broke the kiss to Tina's disappointment.

Tina : what's wrong Bette, don't you like it? I really thought you want this as well as I do

Bette : I do Tina but we're not gonna do this in the middle of the dancefloor. Will you please go home with me?

Tina : oh Bette yes …. I love to go home with you.

Bette took Tina by the hand, went over to the table to grab her purse, said goodnight to everyone and they both walked out of the Planet hand in hand. She led Tina to her car, opened the door and let her get in. She hurried over to the drivers seat, started the car and soon they were on their way to their old house. Bette pulled the car into the drive way, got out, opened the door for Tina and helped her get out. They made their way up to the front door while kissing each other. As Bette opened the door Tina pushed her inside the house and against the wall, She kicked the door with her foot to close it while still kissing Bette. She starts unbuttoning Bette's shirt, runs her hands over Bette's shoulders, takes the shirt off and throws it on the floor. Again her hands roam over Bette's beautiful body as she unclasps her bra and reveals her beautiful breasts. Bette pushes Tina back towards the bedroom never breaking their kiss. As they enter the bedroom she pushes Tina on the bed and takes off her pants and panties. She moves back up and lifts Tina 's top over her head and throws it on the floor where it joins the rest of her clothes. She unclasps Tina's bra and peels it of her shoulders, lays her down on the bed, takes off her own pants and thong and places herself on top of Tina while kissing her.

Soon her hands find their way down to Tina's breasts, she cups them while letting her thumbs rub the already rock hard nipples. She quickly replaces her hand by her mouth letting her tongue circle around Tina's nipple while her hand moves down over her stomach all the way down to find her heath. She parts Tina's lips with her fingers to find her clit starting to rub it she feels how wet Tina already is. Hearing her breath become heavier she enters Tina with two fingers thrusting in and out of her. Her tongue licks a trail from Tina's breasst over her stomach to her clit, taking it into her mouth letting her tongue flickering it.

Tina : oh yeah baby that's it aaaaaaahhhhhh right there baby yeahh oh god I missed you so much

Bette sucks real hard on Tina 's clit while she keeps on thrusting in and out of her going faster and faster, deeper and deeper searching for that special spot which will bring Tina over the edge.

Tina : yeah baby right there oh god.

Bette bites softly on Tina's clit sending pleasure pains through her body while she add a third finger still pumping in and out of Tina while Tina grinds her hips faster and faster into her hand. She feels the inner muscles contract around her fingers knowing Tina would be over the edge pretty soon she curls her fingers and strokes that special spot very hard. She keeps sucking on Tina's clit real hard as she strokes her G-spot another time making her cum screaming out her name.

Tina : ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh goooooooooodddddddd BEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE as she falls down on the bed again feeling the after shocks running through her body.

Voice : Tina baby are you all right?

She opens her eyes and turns her face towards the person laying next to her not knowing whether she should scream or cry.

Tina : OMFG you…what are you doing in my bed ? …..

Chapter 2

Bette bites softly on Tna's clt sending pleasure pains through her body while she add a third finger still pumping in and out of Tina while Tina grinds her hips faster and faster into her hand. She feels the inner muscles contract around her fingers knowing Tina would be over the edge pretty soon she curls her fingers and strokes that special spot very hard. She keeps sucking on Tina's clit real hard as she strokes her G-spot another time making her cum screaming out her name.

Tina : ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh goooooooooodddddddd BEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEE as she fals down on the bed again feeling the after shocks running through her body.

Voice : Tina baby are you all right?

She opens her eyes and turns her face towards the person laying next to her not knowing whether she should scream or cry.

Tina : OMFG you…what are you doing in my bed ? …..

Now

Henry : what ? what do you mean what am I doing in your bed? This is my house remember and you're in my bed.

Tina looked around the room very confused and realised all of sudden she was indeed in Henry's house.

Tina (thinking) : shit this means I was just dreaming all this?

Tina : Henry I'm….. euhm I'm sorry

Henry : cut the crap Tina I know you don't want to be with me, the only one you're thinking of is that bitch of a dyke you've been with.

Tina : don't you dare call Bette a dyke, you hear me and she's no bitch

Henry : oh now she isn't any more huh? Have you forgotten she nearly took oour daughter away?

Tina : OUR daughter? She isn't your daughter Henry, she's mine … mine and Bette's. She will never be your daughter Henry do you hear me !

Henry : yeah I heard you all right. You can stay here for the rest of the night only because I don't want to disturb that little girl's sleep but by tomorrow you're out of hear you hear me lesbo !

Tin : fine I don't want to stay here anyway, I made a big mistake getting involved with you anyway. What was I thinking, who was I fooling huh?

Henry got out of bed, took his pillow and went into the livingroom were he installed himself on the couch.

Henry (thinking) you fucking bitch, you only used me. Women there al the same and those freaking dykes are even worse, what was I thinking when I tried to convert this one again.

The next morning Tina packed all of her and Angie's belongings and loaded them into her car. When she was finished she went back into the house and got Angelica ready. She took one last look around the house to check if she hadn't forgotten anything and left Henry's place never to come back again. She took Angie to daycare and drove off to Shaolin – Peabody to go to work. Although she wasn't in the mood to work she forced herself to go becase she needed the money to support her and Angie now. She entered her office and got to work but she couldn't keep her mind to it.

Tina (thinking) : gosh what am I going to do now, I need a place to stay. I can't afford to stay in a hotel but where am I going to go? Alice has Lara now, Shane and Jenny's house was already crowded and Bette …. No she couldn't do that to Bette not now, not yet…

Helena : good morning Tina

Tina didn't even hear Helena come in and didn't react which made Helena a little curious. In fact when she looked at the blonde in front of her she saw she looked very tired and troubled.

Helena : Tina …. Helloooo Earth to Tina as she walked up to Tina's desk

Tina finally heard Helena and looked at the woman in front of her

Tina : oh hey Helena I'm sorry I didn't hear you.

Helena : you could heve fooled me. What's wrong Tina you don't look to good today. Are you getting sick?

Tina : no I ….. we ... as tears began to form in her eyes now.

Helena went back to close the door of Tina's office and walked over to the couch. She took a seat and looked at Tina.

Helena : come and sit over ahere for a second and tell me what's on your mind.

Tina walked up to the couch and got seated next to Helena releasing a deep sigh

Tina : I don't know where to start my lfe is such a mess right now Helena.

Helena : why don't you just say what happened sweetie, did you and Henry had a fight or something?

Tina : yes in fact we did and he kicked me out

Helena : he did what ? Tina where are you going to stay ? What happened?

Tina : I was euhm …. Last night I had the weirdest dream, I was in the Planet and Bette was there and we danced and after that she took me home and we made love. Helena it was all so real and when I came I screamed out her name but to my own surprise it was Henry making love to me ad he wasn't too happy when I called him Bette.

Helena (smirking) : no I guess not

Tina : this isn't funny Helena !

Helena : I know, I'm sorry but I just can't help it. I would have liked to see his face when you called him Bette. So that's why he kicked you out or what

Tina : no we got into this fight and he called Bette a crazy dyke and stuff and he rambled about Angie being his daughter and that's when I realizes it was wrong Helena. Angie isn't his daughter she mine and Bette's. We wanted this baby together so I can't let him adopt her.

Helena : well I'm glad you finally realized that Tina. Angelica is indeed yours and Bette's. Bette is her other parent not that prick of a Henry. So please Tina go to Bette and talk to her. She needs that baby in her life you know.

Tina : yeah I know but since when do you take sides for Bette?

Helena : because I've been there myself Tina. I know what Bette is going through right now. I've been there with Winnie remember. The worst thing that can happen to you is when they take your chikd away from you and Bette loves Angie with all her being.

Tina : I know and I wished I could turn back the clock and …. Gosh I need to find a place to stay for me and the baby.

She looked at Helena with pleading eyes.

Tina : Helena I know we've been together and we're friends now, please can I stay at your place fot a while? Just until I found a place of my own?

Helena : God Tina I wish I could help you but the thing is I euhm … I mean ….

Tian : Yeah I know I'm sorry forget I ever asked. I'll go to a hotel and in the meanwhile I'll try t find something.

Helena : no no Tina please don't get me wrong here but …. Oh Hell you will find out anyway.

Tina : find out what?

Helena : well Tina the thing is Bette is staying at my place at the moment.

Tina : what? Bette is staying at your place ? But how ? Are you sleeping with her or what? Damn when did that happen?

Helena : Tina stop no it's not what you think !

Tina (agitated) : oh it isn't Helena ? so tell me what's going on then huh? Since when did you and Bette become such good friends that she's staying at your place?

Helena : Tina calm down it really isn't what you think. Bette and I became friends since Whistler actualy. The day of the supposed wedding Bette and I ended up skiing together and we shared the same skilift. We started talking and then she found out that bitch of a Joyce Wischnia send you the sole custody papers.

Tina : but she did ask for sole custody Helena, she tried to steal Angie away from me

Helena : Tina listen she was lost, she didn't know what to do anymore because she was loosing her baby but I assure you she tried everything to stop that Wischnia bitch. I was there Tina when she called and told Joyce to stop it and not send those papers to you but it was already too late.

Tina : so she didn't want to go through with it then?

Helena : no she realized it was wrong. She knew Angie needed her mother so she tried everything to stop it.

Tina : yeah ok I got that but how did she end up at your place?

Helena ; when we got back in LA I went to see her. I needed to know how she was doing and when I got to the house she wasn't there. Jenny told me Bette hadn't been there for quite a while and that in fact she was staying at a hotel. I found out where she was and I went to see her.

Tina : she was in a hotel ? What was she doing there?

Helena : she was devastated Tina. She couldn't bare staying in that house on her own without Angie being there and she hated the fact you brought Henry over there.

Tina : yeah I know, I was ruthless. I should never have done that.

Helena : there is more Tina, she knows you and Henry had sex in her bedroom.

Tina : Oh my God no, but how? I only told …. Alice?

Helena : yeah right …..

Tina : damn when is that girl ever gonna keep her mouth shut?

Helena : well you know your secret isn't safe with Alice. I love that girl, she's fun and stuff but yes she can't keep her mouth shut. She didn't tell it on purpows of course because despite everything she loves Bette.

Tina : I know she does, she's Bette's closest friend. So go on how did she end up with you?

Helena : I found her in that hotel and convinced her to have dinner with me at my place. So that night she came over and we talked and talked until the late hours. She really hates the house and I guess she needs time to get over it, I don't know. Anyways we drank a lot of wine that night and she was in no condition to drive back to the hotel so she stayed the nigth. The next morning we talked some more and that's when I offered her to stay at the beach house and to my surprise she agreed.

Tina : so there's nothing going on between you two?

Helena : no Tina Bette and I are just two friends sharing my house until she knows what she's going to do with the house. I don't see her that much you know. She has that new job as a Dean now and when she's not at uni, she's in her room studying most of the time. We just see each other at dinner every night and we talk a little. After that she goes back int her room or she goes over to see Shane.

Tina : gosh I didn't know all that. I've been so stupied Helena, how could I do it to her?

Helena : I don't know Tina, I didn't understand you at the time but I guess you had your reasons for doing what you did.

Tina : that's just it Helena, I don't know why I did all this. I guess I still wanted to make her pay for what she did to me but what I did is much worse. I humiliated her, I've been cruel to her and I took away the one thing she loved most

Helena : you two need to talk Tina and work things out before it's too late. Do it for Angelica she needs both her parents. Don't let it become the same mess I'm in Tina, It's killing he rinside not being able to see her daughter.

Tina : yeah I guess you're right but I need to find a place to stay first, so if you don't mind can I have the day off to go and look for something?

Helena : yes but maybe I have an idea

Tina : you do?

Helena : yes the studio ownes some appartments and I know some of them are empty so let's go and check them out if that's all right for you?

Tina : oh Helena that would be great, thank you.

Both women left Tina's office, got into Helena's car and left off to check out the appartments. Tina was really glad she and Helena were still friends and really appreciated Helena's help in this mess. She really could use some one to lean on right now cause she had neverbeen on her own except for the short period she and Bette got seperated the first time. Helena was right she really needed to talk to Bette and work things out between them not only for the sake of Angie but mostly because deep down she knew she still loved Bette.

Present

Half an hour later Helena stopped the car in front of a very luxuous building and they both got out of the car. Helena led Tina to one of the appartments at the end of the hall and opened the door. As they both walked in Tina saw the appartment was quite nice.

Tina : oh wow Helena this is really cool, look at this place. Are you really sure I can stay here with Angel?

Helena : of course Tina it isn't occupied at the moment so take your time in looking for a decent place.

Tina : thank you so much Helena you really are a life saver I wouldn't know what I would have done without your help.

Helena (blushing): that' s all right Tina, that's what friends are for right? I can even help you find another house or arppartment if you want me to.

Tina : yeah I could use some help but then again I can't afford much. I wonder what Bette's gonna do with the house though. You know I really loved that house.

Helena : I know Tina, you want me to talk to Bette about it?

Tina : oh no Helena you've done enough already thanks, I'll talk to her one of these days, that is if she wants to talk to me.

Helena : oh she will, even if I have to point a gun to her head but I'll make her talk to you. I have to go right now because I have an appointment, are you sure you will be all right on your own?

Tina : yes sure thanks again Helena, you really are a good friend.

Both women hugged and Helena left the appartment. On her way to her office she couldn't stop thinking how she could bring Bette and Tina together because they really needed to work things out for Angelica's sake. She herself knew very well how it felt not being able to see your children whenever you wanted and she didn't want Angelica to go through the same mess her two kids went through. She sure would try and talk to Bette about it at dinner later tonight. She entered her office and her assistant told her her appointment was early and already waiting for her so pretty soon Helena was very occupied and time passed by very quickly. A few hours later her meeting was over and she tried to call Bette about dinner tonight.

Bette : Hey you, how are you today?

Helena : I'm fine thanks, I had a pretty busy day though. I just came out of my meeting and was on my way home. I'm just calling to know what you want for dinner tonight?

Bette : uhm I don't know, I like everything you cook so you just pick something.

Helena : well I was thinking about making a lasagna because I don't really feel like cooking tonight, this meeting nearly kiilled me.

Bette : ouch poor you. You need to take a relaxing bath when you get home, or maybe do some yoga.

Helena : yeah I might do that. Oh and Bette …

Bette : yes…

Helena : we need to talk

Bette : sure what? about

Helena : I'll tell you when you get home, what time do you plan on being there?

Bette : I have a class from 6 pm till 7 so I guess I'll be home around 7.30 pm

Helena : ok see you then, bye

Bette : bye, see you tonight.

Bette hung up her phone and stared at it for a while wondering what that was all about. Why would Helena want to talk to her? About what? She didn't have much time to break her head about it as she had to get ready for her class pretty soon. It was already way past 7.30 when Bette pulled in at the driveway of Helena's house. She formed the code at the gate and drove her car right to the garage. It felt pretty weird and safe at the same time to be at Helena's place. She never would have thought she would be in the same house with the woman she hated so much only six months ago. But then again they got to know each other and Bette found out Helena was a very sensitive and caring woman who had pulled a big fense around her to hide her weaknesses. Bette got out of her car, entered the house and she already smelled the lasagna.

Bette : hey I'm home, sorry I'm late but one of my students needed me as she put down her briefcase and carkeys, she walks to the kitchen.

Helena : hey I'm in the kitchen and it's ok you're right on time, you want something to drink first?

Bette : mmm yeah I take the same you're having

Helena poured Bette a glass of the Merlot she was drinking and handed it to her.

Bette : so how are you feeling, did you do some yoga?

Helena : yes actually I did and I feel less tensed now. How was your day so far?

Bette : it was ok not as stressful as yours I guess, those days are really over for me and to be honest I really don't miss them. Was your meeting that bad?

Helena : it wasn't bad it was just though, those people really didn't know what they wanted and I missed Tina around, she mostly knows how to handle difficult clients.

Bette : oh Tina wasn't at work today?

Helena : yeah she was but ….. Bette I guess you better go and sit down

Bette (sitting down) : what is it Helena? Did something bad happen? Is there something wrong with Angelica

Helena : no Bette please calm down ok. It isn't what you think. This morning when I went to Tina's office to talk to her about the upcoming meeting I found her all devastated and in tears. Apparently she and mr Freckleback as you guys call him have had a huge fight and he threw her out.

Bette : what … when …. Where did she go? When did they have that fight?

Helena : last night euh it's kind of funny actually….. She euhm….

Bette : kind of funny that guy throws my daughter out of his house in the middle of the night and you think it's funny? You really have a weird sense of humor you know

Helena (laughing) no no wait it isn't that, it's just laughing even harder

Bette : Helena please what's so funny about all this?

Helena (getting herself back together) : well apparently Tina had a dream last night and it was pretty hot and when she climaxed she kind of screamed a name but when she woke up she saw it was Henry in her bed and not the person she was thinking she was making love with. Can you imagine his face?

Bette : yeah that must have been pretty hurtful for his ego but who's name did she scream that made him get so pissed he threw her out in the streets at night?

Helena : no he ddn't throw her out at night, she stayed there till the morning and left after she packed all her belongings.

Bette : oh that's a relief cause I would have died knowing something bad would happen to that baby.

Helena : I know

Bette : so where is she now?

Helena : after I calmed her down I took her to one of the appartments the studio owns and got her settled over there until she finds a place of her own.

Bette : that's a very nice thing of you to do

Helena : yes I couldn't let her go to a hotel could I. That isn't a place to stay with a baby.

Bette : no it isn't. How is she doing ? and does that mean she broke up with the dude?

Helena : helloooo what do you think? When someone throws you and your baby out of the house would you still be wit that person? Come on Bette you are much too clever for that.

Bette : I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that.

Helena : it 's ok, just forget you ever said it. But Bette there's something I wanted to ask you

Bette : what?

Helena : what are you planning to do with the house?

Bette : I don't know yet, why ? are you tired of me yet? Cause if that's the question I can easily go to a ….. she was interrupted by Helena who put her hand on Bette's arm

Helena : Bette please stop. I'm not tired of you and you can stay here as long as you want, actually I enjoy your company but that's not what I meant when I asked you about the house. Are you going to sell the place or what?

Bette : I really don't know yet Helena. The only thing I know is that I won't be going back there ever again. That house is just filth, I can't stand the thought she let him bang her in my bedroom. I just …. I ….

Helena (still holding Bette's arm) shhtt it's ok Bette I know how you feel. I was just playing with this idea.

Bette : what idea?

Helena : I was just thinking why don't you let Tina and Angelica move back into that house?

Bette : what are you crazy? It's my house and she's definit…

Helena : Bette listen to me, you don't have to do it for Tina just do it for Angelica, do you want your daugther to grow up in a little one room studio?

Bette : no I don't, I want the best for Angelica, you know that.

I just can't get used to the idea of Tina being in that house again.

Helena : just think about it Bette, I understand you don't want to give Tina anything but think about your child, give the house to her, just think about her future. It's not that you're ever gonna live there again, are you?

Bette : no definitely not !

Helena : so why not give the house to Angelica. You let Tina pay a small amount and you put the house in Angel's name. In this case she will always have something to treasure of her other mother.

Bette : yeah one she's doesn't even remember or will ever see again.

Helena : don't give up hope Bette. I'm pretty sure you're going to see her again. In fact Tina told me she was going to contact you to work out things between the two of you.

Bette : there's nothing to work out, I only care for Angel I don't care about Tina anymore.

Helena : Bette stop being such a stubborn ass and talk to the woman for christ sake.

Bette : since when did you move over to the Tina camp? I thought you were my friend? I thought you were the one I could relay on man am I ….

Helena : STOP IT ! Stop it right there Porter. I am your friend and I'm always there for you when you need me but I'm also Tina's friend and at this moment she needed someone to help her. You know as well as I do she has no one to help her anymore since she went back to straighties land. You, Shane, Alice you all let her down and don't want anything to do with her no more. Ok I understand your point of view but why did her friends back out on her?

Bette : because they felt betrayed that's why.

Helena : all right she made a mistake by going back to the heterosexual stuff but she's paying for it and she's paying big time, I can assure you that. Just think about what I said Bette, think about the house, do it for Angel.

Bette : I don't know Helena, maybe … I just don't know. I'm not hungry anymore, I have to go out for a walk, get my mind cleared about all this.

She left the kitchen table and turned around towards the deck, she went outside and was already going downstairs towards the beach when Heena came after her and called

Helena : oh hey Bette….

Bette : what ?

Helena : in case you wondered ….. it was your name she called out…..

Chapter 4Previous

Helena : Bette stop being such a stubborn ass and talk to the woman for christ sake.

Bette : since when did you move over to the Tina camp? I thought you were my friend? I thought you were the one I could relay on man am I ….

Bette : because they felt betrayed that's why.

Bette : I don't know Helena, maybe … I just don't know. I'm not hungry anymore, I have to go out for a walk, get my mind cleared about all this.

She left the kitchen table and turned around towards the deck, she went outside and was already going downstairs towards the beach when Heena came after her and called

Helena : oh hey Bette….

Bette : what ?

Helena : in case you wondered ….. it was your name she called out…..

Present Time

Bette : what ?

Helena : you heard me Porter

Bette : you must be kidding right?

Helena : no I am not, she did in fact scream your name Bette. I guess the woman still loves you. So you better talk to her sooner or later I guess.

Bette : if she still loves me why did she hurt me so badly ? What is she doing with a guy than?

Helena : I don't know Bette you have to ask her these questions, I can't answer them for you. So please call her and make an appointment.

Bette : yeah yeah as she went down the stairs to the beach.

Bette walked along the seaside like what seemed for hours constantly hearing Helena's words. She was so confused about all this, she couldn't even think straight.

Bette (thinking) : If Tina still loves me why did she leave me for a guy than? What the hell is all this? Maybe Helena is right I should call her and listen to her. Maybe we can be friends again one day and I can still see my daughter. Oh god I don't know….. I …. As tears ran over her face.

She sat down on the beach and couldn't fight the tears any longer. She laid her head on her knees and her body was shaking from the crying. It all came back to her, her betrayal with Candace, Tina and Helena, the birth of Angelica, their fights and finally the view of Tina and Henry making out in the kitchen. She suddenly felt so empty again and didn't know what to do. She was crying so badly she didn't even notice someone came up behind her, slid two arms around her and pulled her close so she could rest her head against that person's shoulders.

Helena : shht shhht I'm here now, I have you sweetheart. I know it hurts badly but it will get better, believe me. You just have to give it time.

Bette : I'm so sorry….. I …. I don't even ….

Helena : shht Bette it's all right, let it all out sweetheart, you'll feel better afterwards and you don't need to explain. I know what you're going through I've been there, believe me I've had my share myself recently.

Helena held a crying Bette in her arms until she calmed down. They sat there for quite a while without saying a word, only holding each other and Helena' hands running through Bette's hair. After a while Bette recovered again and was the first to speak.

Bette : thank you Helena, you are such a good friend. I really felt so lost, I …

Helena : it's all right I'm here for you whenever you need someone to talk to or someone who only listens I'm the one you can turn to.

Bette : when did you change so much? I hardly recognize you? You're such a nice and caring person. I can't even believe you're the same person I hated so much a year ago.

Helena : I know and actually I didn't change, what you see is the real Helena Bette. The Helena only few people are allowed to see. I can't afford it to show my weakness, people hurt me to much, starting with my mother.

Bette : but why show it to me? I mean we aren't that close.

Helena : because I know your pain Bette, I've been through the same thing with Dylan. For once in my life I fall deeply in love again and she turns out to be nothing more but a prick who was after my money. But you're different and we have so much in common, I guess that's why I feel so comfortable around you.

Bette : I feel good around you too and I really enjoy your company. I'm glad we've become friends.

Helena ; yes so am I

Bette : I'm sorry I ruined your evening and dinner.

Helena : don't bother about that, it's not a big deal.

Bette : I'm hungry though you tink that lasagna is still eatable?

Helena (laughing) : I don't think so but we can always order something if you want to.

Bette : yes let's order pizza or something and go back to the house I'm getting cold out here.

Helena took her cellphone, dialed a number and ordered some pizza's for the both of them. She put her arm around Bette's shoulders and both women walked back to the house in silence. Some time later their food arrived which they ate in front of the TV and after dinner Bette went to her room. She sat on her bed for a while holding her cellphone in her hand hesitating wether she would make a call or not. Finally she made a decision and dialed the number.

Tina : Tina Kennard speaking.

Bette (hesitating) : …..

Tina : hello ?

Bette : …..

Tina (looking at the caller's ID) : Bette is that you?

Bette : euhm … yes I'm sorry I….

Tina : it's ok. How are you? Why are you calling?

Bette : I'm ok I guess. Euhm Helena told me you're living in an appartment owned by the studio now, are you doing ok? Is there something you need for Angel?

Tina : Yes we're ok and no thanks I don't need anything right now but Bette ….

Bette : yes ?

Tina : do you think we could meet? I mean we need to talk don't you think?

Bette : yes I guess we have to eventually. When do you want to meet?

Tina : how about tomorrow?

Bette : tomorrow is fine, when?

Tina : I don't know, euhm when are you free?

Bette : I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow afternoon so how about 3 pm?

Tina : that's fine by me. Would you like to come over here? I mean I want us to talk in private, so I don't think it's a good idea to meet at the Planet.

Bette : yes we better meet in private so why don't you come over here and can you please bring Angel? It's been so long since I've seen her. Please T… ina?

Tina : ok I'll bring her and 'over here' means Helena's house I presume?

Bette ; yes if you don't mind.

Tina ; no it's ok

Bette : fine, you don't need directions I presume ?

Tina : euh …. No I know where it is.

Bette : fine I'll see you tomorrow at 3 pm than, good night Tina

Tina : night Bette.

Bette closed her cell and went back to the living room where she found Helena in front of the TV.

Bette : good you're still up. I just called Tina and …

Helena : oh that's great so what did she say?

Bette she asked if we could talk so I've invited her and Angel over here at 3 pm tomorrow, I hope you don't mind.

Helena : no of course not, go ahead I'm glad you girls are finally going to talk. Is she bringing Angelica?

Bette : yeah I asked her and she agreed. I'm so happy Hel I'm finally going to see my daughter again after all this time.

Helena : I'm happy for you Bette, I really hope you'll both be able to work out your differences.

Bette : yeah I hope so too. I'm off to bed now, good night

Helena : have a good night Bette

Bette tunred around and walked back to her room but just before disappearing around the corner she said :

Bette : hey Hel

Helena : yes?

Bette : thanks again for everything and for making me call her.

Helena (smiling): that's all right you silly girl, someone had to shake your stubborn a**

Bette (smirking) : yes I guess so and I'm glad you did, night dear

Helena : good night sweetheart

The next morning both women left for work without seeing each other so Helena left a little note for Bette saying :

'Dear Bette,'

Wishing you all the best for later on

I'll be thinking of you and crossing my fingers

See you tonight

Helena

Bette smiled when she read Helena's litle note, she was really happy to have her as a friend right now because she needed someone to talk to who was on the same level. She didn't complain about her other friends though because she loved each and everyone of them even big mouth Alice but some how she felt more connected to Helena. Bette left for campus and worked through her papers all morning, she barely made time to have lunch and finally left campus at 2.15 pm. She arrived at the beach house 20 minutes later just in time to get changed into more comfortable clothes before Tina and Angel would arrive. She was getting more and more nervous by the minute now. A million things were running through her head when she finally heard the buzzer. She went over to the camera's and saw Tina's car waiting at the gate, she quickly opened them so Tina could drive through. A few minutes later the doorbell rang.

Bette (sighing) ok Porter here we go as she opened the door seeing Tina stand in fornt of her holding a sleeping Angie in her arms.

Tina : hey …. Bette

Bette : hi Tina come in

Tina entered and waited until Bette closed the door.

Bette : let's go to the living room, you can put Angel on the couch there, was she stil taking her nap ?

Tina : no she fell back asleep in the car as she laid the sleeping child on the couch.

Both women stared at each other not knowing what to say all of a sudden. You could feel the tension between them and the situation was getting more and more awkward. Bette felt she had to say something but what? Finally she got the nerve to speak first.

Bette : can I get you something to drink? We have some ice tea

Tina : yeah that would be nice thanks.

Bette came back from the kitchen h&nding Tina her glas of ice tea.

Tina : thanks ….. silence

Bette : so how are you doing ? Are you all settled in the appartment?

Tina : I'm doing ok I guess. The apartment is fine for now but I'm going to look for a new place as soon as possible. I don't want Angel to stay inside al the time.

Bette : yes I understand, she needs to be able to go outside once and a while. She has changed a lot since I last saw her.

Tina : yeah she gained weight and she has grown. Oh and she has taken her first steps now.

Bette (disappointed) : oh has she, that's great. Too bad I ….

Tina : I'm sorry I know you would have liked to be there when she first did it. But who knows when she wakes up in a while she'll walk to you.

Bette : do you think she'll remember me?

Tina : of course she'll remember you, it hasn't been that long Bette since she last saw you.

Bette : it has been over two months Tina, it seems like ages to me !

Tina : I know I'm sorry but I just couldn't, not after the stunt you've pulled in Wistler. I had to get over my anger Bette, I hope you understand.

Bette : oh I understand that Tina but what I don't understand is the fact that you let a complete stranger act as if he's her daddy.

Tina : he would never have been her dad and you know that Bette, you're her other parent not Henry.

Bette : you could have fooled me. As I recall you were the one telling me you and he were going to get married and he would adopt her and be her daddy.

Tina : yes I know I said that but I was mad at you at that moment. I was so mad because you treatened to take her away from me, what were you thinking Bette applying for sole custody, come on you know you would never had gotten that !?

Bette : I know but I was also mad when I filed for sole custody and Joyce said…

Tina : oh don't tell me what Joyce said, I know her far too well to know what she wanted. She did the same when we first broke up remember? She's just a prick who enjoys creating drama between people.

Bette : yeah I know that by now but believe me Tina I did everything to stop her from sending those papers to you. But it was already too late, I ….

Tina : Bette it's ok I know, Helena told me everything about it. I know she was with you when you made that phone call to Joyce.

Bette : thank god. I really didn't want to hurt you Tina but I was so devastated realising I would loose Angel for ever, she means the world to me. I just can't….

Tina : I know she means everything to you and I'm very sorry for keeping her away for so long. I want her to know you Bette, do you think we can work something out between us?

Bette : you know very well I want nothing more than to have her in my life again Tina but what am I going to be to her ? an aunt? A friend of her mothers? I can't do that it's just too painfull….

Tina : I know and I took care of things Bette. I've let my lawyers know I agree to joint custody and I ….

Bette : did you ? oh Tina I don't know what to say… this…. This means so much to me. Thank you, I….

Tina : don't thank me yet it's because of something Helena said I reallized I couldn't keep Angel away from you. Helena really is a good friend you know.

Bette : I know she is. She has been very supportive to me the past couple of weeks. I appreciate it very much I can stay here.

Tina : yes I was very surprised when she told me you were staying with her. Who would have thought you and Helena could live in the same house together without jumping at each other's throats.

Bette : I know but she's become a very close friend lately. I felt so lost after what happened in Whistler and she was there for me. We talked and talked for hours and I realised Helena wasn't the person she tried to make us all believe she was. She's caring, lovely, funny in some ways and she also has her weaknesses.

Tina : yes she sure is all of that. So is there something more going on between the two of you?

Bette looked at Tina eyes wide open and couldn't believe what she just heard. How could she even ask something like that? Not after everything she did to me? It's none of her god damn business if there was something going on between me and Helena. She wanted to start yelling at her and let all her anger out but tried to calm down as she realised this would kill all her chances of seeing Angel in future. So she took a deep breath before she spoke again… All the time Tina had been looking at Bette realising she went too far but she needed to know before she could go on with her life. She looked at Bette with questioning eyes waiting for her to answer realising it could be an answer she wouldn't like at all.

Tina : Bette I…. I am sorry I shouldn't have …

Bette : Tina stop it ….. don't say another word….. I'm …. There's … as she kept fighting to hide the anger in her voice.

Chapter 5

Tina : yes she sure is all of that. So is there something more going on between the two of you?

Tina : Bette I…. I am sorry I shouldn't have …

Bette : Tina stop it ….. don't say another word….. I'm …. There's … as she kept fighting to hide the anger in her voice.

Present Time

Tina : No Bette I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked that. I don't know what I was thinking. You have every right to move on, especially after all the shit I've put you through. I …

Bette : Tina once and for all I'm not moving on. I mean I'm not having a relationship with Helena, we're just friends. The only thing I did is getting my life back together. I finally got a job that I like which takes most of my time now. A relationship is the last thing on my mind.

Tina : yeah I understand. I'm really sorry Bette for what I did, I never wanted to hurt you this much …

Bette : yeah but you're a bit late realizing it aren't you Tina and if hurting me with Helena and Henry wasn't enough you also had to take the most precious person in my life away from me. Why did you hate me that much Tina?

Tina : I didn't hate you Bette, I was just angry at you. Angry because you weren't the person I fell in love with any more. I admired you; you were such a strong person nothing or no one could ever bring you down and then all of a sudden you started changing, you ….

Bette : I'm sorry for disappointing you Tina but I went through a lot at that time I had to see you throwing another woman in my face at every opporunity you got. Then my dad gets ill and I decide to do what's right by nursing him myself and then that bastard of a Franklin gives my job away. How would you have felt Tina? A person can only that much you know…

Tina : yes I know but you've been through rough times before and every time you recovered and came back stronger but this time it was as if you didn't want to fight anymore, you just ….

Bette : maybe you're right maybe I was just tired of fighting and struggling cause what did I get huh? On top of it all you tell me you are having feelings for men again. What was left for me to fight for?

Tina : I know but I was also very angry about the fact that you weren't looking for a job. Instead of being with my daughter I had to go out to work and make a living for us and that killed me inside. I was jealous of you, you could…

Bette : jealous? Of me? Come on Tina why?

Tina : don't you get that Bette? Don't you really get that? You could stay at home all day and be Angel's mom while I barely saw her ! I was only there to breastfeed her and to put her asleep and that made me furious with you. That was not the family life I wanted.

Bette : what did you want me to do huh? Should I have taken any job that came up just to make you happy? Didn't it matter that I wanted to do something that I really loved to do?

Tina : I never said you had to take the first job offer that came across but you weren't looking Bette, you just remained uninterested and in no hurry to find something while you knew we needed the money.

Bette : oh don't you go there again Tina, we weren't broke you know. I had money on the bank for us that I could free any moment I wanted to but I wanted to be sure of you first before I started selling my shares and stock. When you asked to come back to me after your affair with Helena you made me the happiest woman on earth but I noticed pretty soon you didn't love me, You just needed a roof above your head, a security for you and Angel and that's why I wasn't looking for a job or selling my shares immeadiately. I wanted to see if my feelings about you were wrong. Why did you come back to me at that time Tina?

Tina : I came back because I thought I still loved you and because I thought I had forgiven you but the more you kept changing and not being that person I once loved, the more I got disappointed in you and that made me angry.

Bette : I tried everything I could to change for you Tina and to be the person you wanted me to be but apparently I couldn't do anything right for you no more and that hurt. It killed me inside and I felt such a failure.

Tina : I'm sorry Bette I know I pushed you too far and you were never a failure to me , don't you ever think that.

Bette : tell me what made you change your mind about the joint custody after all this time? Was it only because of what Helena said?

Tina : no not entirely. I went to see my parents for a while and I had some long talks with my mam and she made me realize I couldn't keep Angelica away from you. You are her other mother Bette and that will never change. It wouldn't only be unfair towards you but also towards Angelica. So after I got back I talked to my lawyers and I didn't only ask them to make arrangements for the joint custody but also for the adoption again.

Bette : you did what…. oh Tina I can't believe this… Is this …. real?

Tina : yes Bette it is you're going to officially be Angelica's other mother soon.

Bette (suddenly sarcastic) : yeah not if it depends on that wheelchair btch

Tina (laughing) : wheelchair bitch Bette please hahaha …. But don't worry I asked for someone else cause you're right she was homophobic and that wouldn't be good for our case.

Bette : oh that's a relief cause I really don't think I could go through that again.

Tina : don't worry neither could I, she really was a dragon wasn't she?

Bette : yeah you can say that again.

At that moment Angie woke up and looked around her when she suddenly spotted Bette, she got up on the couch and held out her little arms towardss Bette.

Angie : mommie mommie….

She tried to get off the couch but Bette was already there to pick her up. The little baby placed both her arms around Bette's neck and burried her face in Bette's thick curls. Tears of happiness were falling from Bette's face as she realized her daughter still knew her.

Bette (sniffing) : hey Boo hey my precious little Angel how have you been? Mommie missed you so much Boo. Mommie loves you so much baby.

Angelica : mommie lofe fyou

Bette (laughing) : oh you love me too huh that's sweet my pecious Angel but oh oh I think our little girl needs a change, do you baby?

Angelica : yes boo boo

Bette handed over Angelica to Tina who already took the diaperbag.

Bette : you can go change her in my room, it's right upstairs the first door on your left. I'll make us some coffee in the meanwhile and maybe something for Angel as well?

Tina : thank you, yes I have her fruit here you can prepare that if you want to.

Bette : sure give it to me, I will be glad to prepare it for her.

Tina : ok see you in a bit, come on Angel mammie is gonna change you as she left the living room.

Bette went into the kitchen, made some coffee for the both of them and prepared Angel's fruit. In the meanwhile she was thinking about her conversation with Tina and she felt good being able to have said what was on her chest for so long. Why hadn't they talked like this before? Why did they mess up their relationship that bad? Why did all this had to happen before they realized they were going the wrong way?

Bette (thinking) : it is mostly my fault as I'm not the one who likes to talk about my feelings. But hey she blocked me out as well after she had the miscarriage, she shared more with our friends than she did with me and that's why I… no I'm not ging there anymore, that part of my life is over and burried.

Bette was so deeply carried away in her thoughts she didn't hear Tina and Angel come back and she startled as she felt a hand touch her shoulder.

Tina : oh I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you. Are you ok?

Bette : yes sorry I didn't hear you come in

Tina : yes obviously, where were you?

Bette : just thinking, nothing special. Can I feed her?

Tina : sure. Here you go Angel go to your momma B sweetie as she put the baby on her feet.

The toddler wallked towards Bette who couldn't believe her eyes. She stretched her arms towards the baby as if she was afraid she would fall. When the child finally reached her, she picked her up and turned her around in her arms which made the baby laugh. She sat down again, Angilica on her lap and started feeding the baby. In the meanwhile Tina took two cups out of the cupboard and served their coffee while watching Bette and the baby. Seeing the happy look on both their faces made her laugh and she admitted to herself she made the right decision to let Bette back in Angelica's life.

Bette : are you staying for dinner or do you have other plans?

Tina : no I didn't make plans but I can't stay too late though, Angel has to be in her bed in time.

Bette : of course I understand. We could go to the Planet and have dinner over there if you want ? Or do you want to stay at home ? Helena will be here as well though as it is her place.

Tina : no that would be too awkward, let's just have dinner at the Planet and then I can drive straight home.

Bette : OK I'll call Kit and ask her to keep a table for us in the back so we'd have some privacy.

Tina : yes that would be nice.

Bette took het cell phone and called her sister, after she ended the phonecall with Kit she dialed another number and waited for an answer.

Helena : hey you how's it going?

Bette (leaving the kitchen table and going outside on the deck) : I'm fine, we talked a lot and stuff and we are finally going to work things out.

Helena : oh Bette that's good news, I'm so happy for you. That calls for a celebration, I'll make us something nice for dinner and you could go down to the winecellar and….

Bette : Hel's stop…. I would love to celebrate with you but I already made plans for tonight. Tina, the baby and I are going to have dinner at the Planet tonight. I'm sorry

Helena (disappointed) : oh …. ok. It's all right Bette we'll celebrate another day.

Bette : Are you sure? Hel's? I'm sorry I didn't want to turn you down like this…

Helena : Bette it's all right you go and have dinner together and enjoy the company of your daughter. I'll manage. I guess I'll see you later?

Bette : yes it won't be that late as Angel has to be in bed in time. Maybe we could have a drink together later on ok?

Helena : of course. See you later Bette and have fun. Bye

Bette : thanks, bye Hel's.

She ended her call and headed back into the house where Tina was playing with the baby. Both womaen played with the baby for a while and really enjoyed their time togeher. After a while Bette had a look at the time and saw it was almost 5.30 pm.

Bette : you want to go to the beach or shall we leave for the Planet yet?

Tina (looking at the time) : why don't we go to the Planet yet, I would love to see Kit again and I'm pretty sure she would love to see Angel.

Bette : sure she missed her little niece as well. She will be so happy to see her again. Ok let's go. You have everything?

Tina : yes can you take the diaperbag while I put Angel in the car seat?

Bette : sure, here you go as she opened the front door for them.

Tina already went to her car and put Angelica in her seat while Bette locked the front door and walked over to her car.

Bette : I'll meet you there ok? Drive carefully.

Tina : sure see you at the Planet.

Both women got into their cars and left the beach house on their way to the Planet. Once they got there, they parked their cars on the parking lot and Bette went over to Tina's car to help her with the baby stuff. They crossed the street and entered an already pretty crowded Planet. Kit and Angus were both behind the counter serving people. As soon as Kit saw her sister enter the Planet she came from behind the counter to welcome her.

Kit : hey baby sis how are you doing as she hugged her younger sister the best she could with her big belly being in the way.

Bette : hey Kit I'm fine thanks, how are you?

Kit : as you can see baby girl, impatiently waiting to get rid of this package. Heyyyyyyyy look who's there my favorite little niece. Heyyy Angel come to your auntie Kit. Hey Tina how are you? As she took the baby into her arms.

Tina : hey Kit I'm fine and you're looking …

Kit : Big … hahaha you can say it baby girl.

Tina (blushing) euhm that wasn't exactly the thing I was going to say. But how far are you now?

Kit : I still have a few weeks to go, but if it was up to me he could come now, cause man this isn't easy you know….

Tina : yes I know how you feel. But shouldn't you be resting by now instead of being behind that counter?

Bette : Oh Tina don't mind telling her, I already said that a gazillion times, she won't listen.

Kit : I take my brakes and stuff but I can't let poor Angus be on his own here, can I?

Bette : sure but what are you gonna do when the baby has come? You really need to find someone to help you out Kit, you can't be here all the time once your kid is born.

Kit : yes I know but I can't hire the first one who comes up here can I?

Bette : no of course not, but you don't have to be that difficult either, for you no one is good enough.

Kit : says little miss Perfect. Come on I guess you girls didn't come here to argue let me get you to your table. As she led to way to the back where she had kept a nice table for them.

Bette : you sit down with Tina for a while, I'll go and get us something to drink. What do you want Kit? Tina?

Kit : a seltzer is fine by me sis

Tina : I would love some iced Tea

Bette : ok one seltzer and an iced tea coming right up. I'll be back soon, as she left to get the drinks.

Kit : it's nice to see you two together again and Bette really looks happy, so I guess you're working things out?

Tina : yes we talked quite a lot today and we're going to get there again Kit, I'm sure we will.

Kit : I hope so Tina cuz not seing that little girl here nearly killed her inside. I really hope you reconsider the joint custody.

Tina : oh I already did Kit and I asked my lawyers to re open the adoption case as well.

Kit : what ? Oh Tina that is just wonderful, no wonder my little sis has her million Watt smile on her face again. Thank you so much Tina this is the best news I've got in ages.

Tina ; well I realized Angel needed Bette in her life and besides I still love her as well you know.

Kit : I really appreciate it but please don't break her heart again Tina, she just recovered from that.

Tina : don't worry Kit I won't, I have no intention to break her heart again. I just want her back… If she'll ever give me that chance again…. I …. As she stopped hearing Bette's voice behind her.
