    Author Notes:

    As the pregnancy progresses, Tina’s in for more than one surprise…

    “Alice, I know what you’re doing.”

    “Hm?”

    Tina shifted in her seat, angling for a more comfortable position. “You’re keeping me out of the way so Bette can set up the baby shower, am I right?”

    “Baby shower?” Alice shrugged. “The last I heard, Bette considered baby showers antiquated and decidedly middlebrow.”

    Tina gave a short laugh. “That sounds like Bette all right, but I know she’s been planning something. I’ve caught the tail end of conversations that came to an abrupt end as soon as I walked into the room. Bette’s poker face sucks. I know what she’s up to, and you too, Al.”

    Alice took her eyes off the road and gave Tina a look. “So I’m not allowed to call up my friend and pick her up for a nice lunch? I don’t have to have a motive to want to spend time with you, do I?”

    “Of course not, Al. I’m glad we got to hang out today.” Tina fanned her face with her hand and grimaced at her reflection in the side-view mirror. “Could you turn up the air a little? I’m sweating like a stuck pig.”

    Alice laughed at her colorful language. “You use the most random phrases sometimes. Here,” she said, switching the air up to high. “Don’t worry, you’ll be home in a bit.”

    Tina busied herself pointing the vents towards her face and dabbing her face off with a tissue from her purse. She quickly applied a fresh coat of lipstick, ignoring Alice’s questioning glances. She ran a brush through her hair and hoped she looked presentable enough.

    In a minute they had pulled up to the house. Tina got out of the car and smoothed the front of her dress, hoping she didn’t look as fat as she felt right now.

    She looked at Alice, confused when she didn’t turn off the motor and park the car. She leaned down into the still open door. “Alice? Aren’t you coming in?”

    “Can’t – stuff to do. But tell Bette I’ll call her later, and kiss Angie for me. Bye!” Alice revved the engine, as if to signal Tina to shut the passenger door. Tina did so and watched Alice drive off. She smiled, suddenly confident again as a new idea occurred to her.  This is all part of the ruse, she thought. They’re trying to keep me guessing. That’s fine. She could already picture her friends shouting a cheesy “surprise!” greeting when she walked in. It was silly, but it was the thought that counted.

    2. That was really beautiful….I think B’s surprise even outdid the baby shower…from the letter, it sounds like T’s parents are no longer living though, is that the case? thx for the lovely update, looking forward to the next one :)

    3. Omalley, I think that you might have outdone yourself with this chapter! It was everything you could want in a story: humour, surprise, tenderness…it was magnificent!

    7. I loved how you put into words all that Tina has been going through while pregnant. I also loved how Bette went out made contact with Tina’s family. I can’t wait for the next post.

    9. wow… i’m all caught up… and i love this story… i remember how the hiccups feel… my sons had then too… so glad bette got a hold of someone from tina’s family… maybe now the rest will also want to meet with them… PPS

    11. AMAZING! I am so glad that Bette reached out to Aunt Leslie. I look forward to learning more about Tina’s family and roots as she reconnects with her family. I love that Alice made sure there was a baby shower, it was so fun. You’ve outdone yourself once again, BRILLIANT!

    12. That was so beautifully written you covered every one and every body. Now Tina has something for both Angie and the baby from her side of the family thanks

    16. I fourth the *WOW* of akalittered, beachlife and valenkat7. Really, *WOW!* I wanted to post a comment 2 chapters back but I didn’t have the time then. Well, I’m still pressed for time today, desperately trying to beat a deadline but I couldn’t resist dropping a few lines of appreciation for your very realistic, very moving, well-written Bette & Tina tale. I love this, omalley! I even went back to all your previous posts, the prequels, and I was really impressed. I rarely read a fanfic from Tina’s POV, so thank you for this! I get a kick out of reading her thoughts, her insecurities and seeing her character in all its complex, complicated, sometimes annoying but totally endearing glory. And in this story, the couple’s both very human: still working on their issues, still making amends for past mistakes, still trying to make the relationship work every freaking day. Yeah, every day’s seems a trial for them but their deep, abiding love for one another always shines through, always sees them through. Thank you for weaving this tale, omalley! Can’t wait for the next chapter. :>
