Chapter II
Tina lifted a corner of the cold washcloth that was covering her eyes and peeked at Bette. Bette’s concerned face looked back at her.
“T?”
Tina put the cloth back where it had been. “Hmm?”
“Are you alright?”
“Uh… yeah. Yeah, I’m fine.”
“Need me to get you a… bucket… or something?”
“No, no, no. I’m-“
“’Cause you’re on our new sofa. The new sofa, on our new rug… in our new living room.”
Tina took off the washcloth and looked at Bette with annoyed exasperation, about to protest her seemingly callous attitude.
Bette winked at her. “I knew I could get you to look at me.”
Tina smiled and rolled her eyes, propping herself up on the couch with one elbow. “I’m okay, Bette. Really. I probably uh…”
Bette cocked her head expectantly.
“…picked up that flu that’s been going around.” Tina murmured, unable to meet Bette’s eyes just then.
“Hmm. Okay. Well.” Bette stood up. “Can I get you anything?”
“No, I already told you I feel fine. Maybe it’s one of those 24 hour bugs,” Tina smiled weakly.
Bette gave her a tight smile in return. “Okay. I’m going to go bathe Angie and get her to bed. You just rest now.”
“Right,” Tina said. She lay back down and made a show of arranging the washcloth over her eyes again.
***
Tina looked coyly at Bette from across the room, before continuing to hum snatches of a lullaby.
Her knitting needles flashed under the light and she straightened out the mass of material on her lap. She continued to work slowly, methodically, on a little pink blanket.
“Tina, what are you humming over there?” Bette asked testily. “Could you keep it down? I’m trying to get this finished.” She didn’t even look up at Tina when she spoke, instead keeping her eyes and her frown directed at the stack of papers she had spread out over the table.
“But babe…”
Bette glared at her. “Look, I know you don’t like it when I bring work home, but I wouldn’t unless I had to. And I would finish up a lot faster if you would stop distracting me.” Bette put her glasses back on, and went back to her papers.

Awww so sweet!
Loved it! You should write more!
Really sweet! Write more, please. I mean, I want to know if is a boy or a girl?.
Lovely and sweet. My thoughts when I read the first ch. that Tina just needed to trus Bette’s lve for her and their family and everything would work out fine. We really don’t want you to stop there, we would like to read more about the expanding little family of Bette and Tina Porter. PPS
Omalley, I hope you will do a sequel to this story. You write very well and I thoroughly enjoyed your story.
Alright Omalley, I just added you to my “favorite authors” so…..you have to write some more! It’s a rule, you know.
So cute and funny… loved Bette’s reaction to Tina’s humming. Feel free to continue on, no need to end at two chapters…
