Bette continued to rub her belly drawing comfort from her unborn child. It was still hard to believe that six months had passed already. In three short months she would be giving birth to a son or daughter. Angelica said she didn’t care but a sister would certainly be nice. She would deal with a baby brother if necessary. Boys she declared were a pain.
Bette chuckled to herself when she recalled the day that they had a family meeting to determine who would be her birthing coach.
They were all together in her family room when the subject came up.
Shane had apparently been enlisted to broach the topic.
“So Bette, have you given any thought to the birth?”
“The birth?” Bette stared at her blankly.
“You know delivery and things.” Shane stammered.
“Are you planning on being knocked out or the natural thing?”
Bette looked around the room and everyone looked like they wanted to drop through the floor. Bette suddenly felt like she was in front of the lecture hall asking a question that if the class had done their reading everyone would be eager to answer.
“Nice Shane.” Alice shot her a glare only to find that drew Bette’s gaze to her. She suddenly found a spot on her shorts that absorbed her complete attention.
“Actually Shane, I’d like to do the ‘natural thing’ as you put it. That means that I’m in need of a birth coach I think you would be the perfect coach. Thank you for offering.”
Bette almost laughed out loud as Shane turned shades of red she had never seen before.
“Uh, Bette..”
“Yes, Shane.” Bette waited.
“I love you and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you but I’m not sure I am the best woman for the job.”
“Nonsense, you know the female anatomy so well it would just expand your knowledge.”
“Uh, ah…I think maybe Kit would be a better choice having given birth before and all…” Shane offered.
Bette turned to Kit who was looking at Shane like she was plotting her murder.
“Well, of course I’d love to coach you Baby Sis. I didn’t do the natural thing though but I’m willing to give it a try.”
“Thanks, Kit.”
“You sure you want don’t want to just get knocked out?” Kit asked hopefully. “I’m sure I can get you to the hospital in plenty of time.”
She turned her attention to Alice.
“Al, you recently wrote an article for Curve about the joys of lesbian pregnancy. This sounds like a great research opportunity for you. You can write about the delivery, first hand.”
Alice looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
“Bette, I would love to be your birth coach if you’d let me.” Tina offered simply.
“Me too” Angelica chimed in.
Bette was taken aback at the offer. She looked at Tina for a long moment. Memories of Angelica’s birth flashed through her mind. Tina was so disappointed that the birth had not happened the way she had hoped. The time spent convincing her that they had to go to the hospital had almost cost Tina her life.
Bette hesitated; she lived with a deep sense of guilt when it came to Tina. It was a place she did not visit often.

Very interesting…let’s explore those feelings of guilt. Page 2, 3, 4 and 5 very soon, please!
As you wrote, there will be more forthcoming. Really interesting and dramatic story. PPS.
I also agree that Tina and Bette should reunite. I believe they would be better and stronger NOW. It was necessary for Bette to have loved someone else so that she knows how to do it this go round, but she does not need to go into anything with Tina because of or with any kind of GUILT however!!!
I just love your writing…and this story is particularly poignant ….thank you…of course, Tina and Ange would be ideal, bonding like for the ultimate B & T reunion…Lmao…at me writing ‘your’ story…but it would be healing for all of them…how old is Ange? and B

Go on, Bette. Let Tina and Angie be your coaches. But this guilt Bette’s feeling interests me… why? Is it over the birth? Is it borne from lingering regret that she wasn’t with Tina for the whole pregnancy due to that Candace fiasco? Or is it cos she chose Ro over her? Or…? Now I need some answers, so like ladichi, I hope more posts are forthcoming, very soon. Thanks kelika.
I love your writing, … Thanks :)
Yes Bette…..choose Tina, Please! PPS!!
I think Tina would be a great coach. Angie, I don’t think so, she may never want to have children after that. Speaking from someone who has given birth, it’s not a pretty sight(lol). LMAO at Shane’s reaction. Thanks for explaining the timeline.
I do hope Bette lets Tina be her coach. Angie I don’t think is old enough. Thank you PPS
Hey Kelika, Apologies for not commenting before but I have been moving house and currently have no broadband. Therefore I am sneaking about at work to nip on now and then. Anywho, opn to your fantastic fan fiction. I was distraught at the loss of Rosanna and then shocked at Bette’s pregnancy with Rosanna’s egg. Awesome to have this legacy after the suddeness of her death. What is awesome here, is Tina’s support and Angelica determination to be there for her mom. This is a terrible and joyous time which needs the love and support of family and friends. Luckily Bette has everyone around to do just that. I do hope that Bette and Tina reunite in this tale. They just belong to one another and can complete each other’s heart. Angelica would be over the moon and a safe and solid environment for her sibling would be there. Please let the embers of their relationship reignite and burn brightly once more. Many thanks for your extraordinary words and wisdom. Your Loyal Fan.
Who better to be her coach than Tina. Angelica may not exactly be ready for when the actual coaching time comes. I’m still counting on them getting back together, but in due time.
I do so hope that you will let B & T reunite in this story, they do so much belong together. Let Tina leave the guy and get her head back in tune with the rest of the family and her legacy love with Bette. It would be wonderful to see them together again, really where they belong. Not writing you story just hoping this will happen. Love “our girls” together. PPS
I had a feeling Tina would come through with the birth-coach offer. By volunteering for the task, Angie is making her aunts look like wussies. But as others have said, she probably isn’t old enough. She sure is brave though.
Don’t think it’s guilt, just plain old fashioned lust!
Good chapter!
