AN-Here's another take on the fanfic only from Tina's point of view. Again, set after season two. Hope you enjoy.
Tina could feel Bette was a bit distant from her. She could also feel, though distant, just how tense her lover was. The young blond could not blame her. There were so many things going on and so quickly that anyone would be tense. A part of herself was not completely relaxed either. After how many years together, it was strange to feel like this.
They once had what people would call the perfect relationship. True, they had their ups and downs. And over the years they had slightly drifted apart. But the two had loved one another in a way so few people ever got the chance. They were one of the lucky ones in the universe. To finally be back beside her was the greatest feeling in the world.
She wanted nothing more than to reach out and wrap her arms around her, to tell her everything was going to be all right. But that was something that she simply could not do. For as good as it felt to be lying next to her partner, there was still the fact that she would have to fully get past the fact that her lover had cheated.
It was something that she hated to dwell on. Her stomach ached with an acidy fire with just the mere thought of Bette with another woman. But she knew it was partially her fault as well. Had she not so many times let Bette dismiss her feelings or be a bit more aggressive in expressing how she felt, perhaps they would not have been separated at all.
There was another blessed event sleeping beside them. She could hear the faint breaths of her little one. Angelica was perfect in every way. It really was like there had been a mergence of the two and she was the creation. It was all out of love that she had been brought into the world. And it was love that she was now surrounded by.
Would the two be able to get past all the things that had set them apart? Only time would tell. One thing Tina knew for sure, this was the happiest she had been in months. Her time with Helena had been a mistake. The other woman had wanted nothing more than a pregnant woman and someone to control. That was never going to happen for her. Any of her relationships would be give and take, in fact, a true partnership.
At this moment, though there were probably tough times ahead, she could not see herself without Bette by her side. It was as if the two were the other halves of each other and simply did not work while not together. This felt so right, to feel the breathing of Bette next to her. It calmed her and made her feel at peace.
Only time would tell if the two truly were meant to be together. At this moment, it felt more real than anything in her life ever had. She would do anything to try and keep them together. And she would do anything to protect her baby. In a way, she wished this night would never end. That she could be forever next to her lover. There would be only one thing that would make it more perfect.
Finally she decided to get what she really wanted. "Aren't you sleepy?" She whispered carefully as to not wake their sleeping daughter.
"Exhausted." Bette leaned over and kissed her partner gently on the lips. "Just got a lot on my mind. But trust me when I say, I'm the happiest I've been in years. I never want us to be a part again."
"I agree." Tina smiled sleepily at her. And now, for she really wanted. "Now, wrap your arms around me and let's get some sleep. Won't be too long before it's feeding time."
"With pleasure." Bette wrapped both her arms around Tina. The two snuggled so closely, you could not tell where one started and the other ended. For now, the two were as one. They were a family.
