Love and Affection Chapter 33

Three months after finding out they are pregnant and for the official sonogram appointment.  Bette and Tina decided to not officially state they are for sure pregnant till after  the green light of three months. 

“Bette, come on babe..lets get going to the doctor’s appointment.  Your gallery looks great for the new show..and I don’t well, you should know you should take it easy.”  Tina was a nervous wreck knowing that Bette was a steamrolling in her work and exhausted at the same time with being pregnant.  Even though the doctor had said it was alright for her to be working and playing soccer till four months, Tina was still freaked out by Bette’s strength and wasn’t sure if she was hiding fatigue or pain.

“T, I am fine.  I am tired a bit, but that just goes with the territory of loving you and our lil’ dude growing.  Ahhh..and you know that I will not be able to play soccer much more, so..and well I think jogging will suffice my appetite and other things..”  Bette wiggled her eye brows and gave a grin to Tina.

“Baby, come on..you sexy thing.  Ok, well hurry up, so we can find out if we are having a girl or a boy!”  Tina sat in one of Bette’s chairs and stared at their wedding picture.  Even though Prop 8 was up for debate, they had gotten married.  Bette still argued that the whole thing is important that it be federal versus just state.  With that they had a lovely ceremony with their families and friends at the beach.  The picture was the two of them smiling as they were walking to the beach to reflect their vows.  It was a candid shot with them looking at each other and both with one of their hands on each other’s cheek smiling.  Tina loved the shot, it showed how much love and respect they have for each other. 

In Tina’s head she felt that she hoped that her projects wouldn’t hindered too much time from being there for Bette and their baby and the hustle of bustle of pressure she would undergo.  Bette having more inner strength and able to conduct her gallery even pregnant and at home soon with the baby, would still help support their home.  Tina was just a worry wort and at times it strained on Bette.  She felt that Tina was trying to bite off more than she could chew and that things would just fall into place.  They were secure with their jobs and financially, so, there was no huge worry, just to grow with love and support for their child to come into their lives.
