.. next day from Tinas point of view
Im standing in the foyer of Rachaels hotel, Im early and Ive been through several outfits trying to work out what was the right thing to wear. I just promised to be in something red so shed recognize me.
Im still angry at Bette for not telling me about Candace. She came home late last night and left early and seems so distracted that I dont know what to think any more. Is there something going on?
So..Im standing here and for some reason Im so nervous my palms are sweating and I have to run them down the sides of my pants. Im not sure what Alice thought when I dropped Rosie off.
I see Rachael as she comes down the stairs, I recognize her straight away from her description and I can feel myself smiling. Shes everything I expected and nothing like what I expected at the same time. I dont know whether to kiss her or hug her or shake her hand but in the end I do none of these I just stand there in front of her and say Hello.
I guess to be honest Im not really sure what I was expecting. This is someone I feel I know the mind of without any real idea of the physical package it is contained in. Its so strange meeting someone I feel I know so intimately in one way and yet not at all in another.
Rachaels slightly shorter than Bette and her bodys not as breath-taking. But how many peoples are? She has short, auburn hair but her best features are her sparkling sapphire blue eyes and her infectious laugh. In fact if Im honest; Rachael has seriously surpassed any of my expectations.
Theres some part of me that is absurdly pleased Ive put the effort into getting ready but Im also unnerved that I find myself cataloguing Rachael and comparing her to Bette. Why do I feel the need to compare them? Bettes my lover and Rachael, at most, is only ever going to be my friend. Isnt she?
We move into the coffee shop at the back of the hotel. Id briefly thought about taking her to The Planet but discarded that idea knowing gossip would surely get back to Bette. As we sit down Rachael places her hand over mine and smiles at me saying Im so pleased you could meet with me, I feel like Ive known you forever. I nod and smile but I feel a little embarrassed and as soon as I can I free my hand.
I felt a little awkward at first because weve changed the anonymous setting Im used to conversing in but I soon realize that Rachael in person is just as charming as Luv2write is in her emails.
We start by complementing each other on our writing and then fall into an easy discussion as we eat our lunch. I do feel a twinge of guilt but Im not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with wondering if this is how it started with Bette and Candace – just friends that had this strong attraction but I know in my heart that it would not have started this way for her it would have been something more primal as Bette has hinted.
I am deeply into a discussion on one of our favourite authors when my mobile rings. Im thinking of ignoring it because I find Im really starting to relax and enjoy myself but at the last minute I check the caller id and find its Alices number. I quickly excuse myself and move away from the table.
Alice.. is something wrong. I say a little anxiously and check my watch to see whether its time for Rosies feed.
Alice sounds panicked Its Rosie..Im at the hospital with her..I dont know whats wrong.
My heart stops beating..Oh God..where? Im almost shouting.. Ill be there in 15 minutes I turn to go back to the table Does Bette know?
Im about to ring her..I thought youd want to know first Alices voice is increasing in volume, shes obviously panicked and its making me more anxious.
OK..Im on my way..and ring me if you hear anything..anything at all . I say and hang up and run back to the table where Rachael sits watching me.
I go straight to her Rachael I..Ive got to go..an emergency..Im sorry ..I.. Ill call you later.. I grab my bag and throw money on the table to cover my part of the bill.
Rachael gets up as I leave asking Is there anything I can do?
All I can think of is Rosie and getting to the hospital No..no..sorry for cutting our lunch short..Ive just gotta go.. and I move away as quickly as I can.
I hear her voice in the background as I leave the hotel No problemswell talk later..I hope everythings OK….
As I head for the hospital I feel guilty and ashamed for secretly meeting Rachael and for leaving Rosie with Alice. I dont know what Im going to tell Bette. Then my mind is filled with Rosie Oh god what if something happens to her, I think I cant lose another child..she has to be alright
..I dont know how I make it to the hospital. I just remember running in and asking people where I can find the childrens ward and finally running along a corridor and straight into Bettes arms..
Wheres Rosie.. I say to Bette frantically is she OK?
Theyre running some tests and they asked me to step outside for a minute.. Bette says and she tries to hold me.
Whats wrong..? I want to see her my words tumble over each other in my anxiety.
They dont know yetshes got a high fever.. and she pulls me closer, trying to comfort me itll be OK T.. we have to believe that
I fight to free myself from Bette and get into the room with Rosie But she was OK when I left her.. I have to see her..
I force my way in and insist on being able to hold Rosie as they poke needles into her. Rosie is so hot, so upset. I feel like they are stabbing me each time they poke another syringe into her little body.
I look at Rosie and repeat over and over again Im here Rosie.. Mommys hereplease..please.get better..I love you..I love you and as I hold her and look at her see how upset she is.. how much shes hurting ..my heart breaks into a million pieces.

Just wanted to add another plea to post soon. I am extremely interested to see how this is going to play out. Please, please, please post again soon!!!
Excellent. Just read the whole thing, and so glad I did. Well done, Oz, great story!
Too many sick/missing kids today. My poor heart can’t take all this stress. Please let Rosie be ok and get her mothers back on track soon. Great chapter .. More Please
It is ridiculous for Tina to meet the internet gal. But, Cramit’s version really cracked me up. You are too much, Cramit.LOL
Hope Rosie is going to be okay, and hope Rosie’s parents get their act together and stop making stupid decisions. Love the story Oz.
Not sure if I ever left a comment on your stories, but now I’m worried about Rosie. Please let her be ok. btw: I really like your stories; but many times, I’m shy about leaving comments. Thanks.
Hey – thanks for your comments – don’t be shy – we writers love to know that SOMEONE is reading our stories and if they don’t comment we don’t know…
First off…hope Rosie is OK…please don’t hurt our little girl…but secondly…Tina is still acting like a child…she should not have met with Rachel in the context she has been thinking…she has been continually thinking about “affair” and hurting Bette and “does she think of Rachel as more than a friend”…go get to the bottom of your issue with Bette Tina before you run off…leave your baby behind and “emotionally cheat” on Bette…wow and I just got up too…so much intensity before I’ve finished my coffee:P Love your story since chap 1…will always read it…never less than a 5!!!
Great story Oz. I could really feel Tina’s angst over the situation. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Cramit, I like your version LOL..
Oz, what a great chapter. Now if only you can make that internet chick and Candycrap disappear. B&T must COMMUNICATE with each other, sounds like they’re going back to their old ways with Bette working late and leaving early and now Tina is thinking “affair” to get back at her wife. WTF???
“As Tina looked down at Rosie and began whispering heartfelt pleas for a quick recovery from whatever was ailing her, Rosie suddenly leaned up. Reaching with her chubby little fists, she yanked Tina’s golden hair and pulled her head down until Tina’s ear was at Rosie’s mouth.”
“Listen. What the hell do you think you’re doing, mom? I had to fake being sick and shit just to get you away from that internet chick. Now, knock it off and take me home so you and my other mommy can take care of me. *fake cough*”
“Tina was totally shocked at what happend and briefly considered calling the local news, but decided to follow her daughter’s advice instead. Once she got Rosie home, her, Bette and Rosie were going to live happily ever after. Rachel and Candace be damned.”
What? You mean that’s not in the next chapter? ;) I’ll admit, I almost karate chopped the screen when I read how Tina was thinking. But, you’ve been writing this story so freaking well that I just know there is some good stuff coming up. Even if we have to wade through some rocky waters ahead. 5 stars for everytime you used the letter “S”!!!! :D
Cramit.. LMFAO.. Where do you get this stuff? I broke a couple of ribs here…
Ozlfan… absolutely juicy twist here you devil you *S. Looking forward to see how this twist will further develop ;o) Oh and thank you for making this luv2write chick just plain okay and not drop dead gorgeous LOL. Thanks for 2 new posts at one go!

Karma has a way of coming back to parents through their children.
I can’t believe Tina never mentioned she had a child when she was on the internet. A wife? Okay, that omission I understand. The child?
Whatever – I hope Tina feels so guilty she never does anything like this again. Does she not feel attractive? Bette needs to overlook the childbirth and breast milk phobia and get busy – now. And Candace can take a 2×4 and…
…”it’s only fanfic…it’s only fanfic…Have I told you lately how much I love this story?
im wondering at what point bette will ask tina where she was and why rosie was with alice. how is tina gonna explain that one?
Hope the baby is fine.How is Tina going to tell Bette she was on a lunchin date with another woman. In my other comment I ment green eye monster,can out green Slime. Bette and Tina needs to talk,like yesterday.
