My belly lurched again, as if she was dancing with happiness, “Rebekah,” I said again, “Rebekah Ellie Porter-Peabody.”
“Why Ellie?” Bette asked.
I looked at her, trying to memorize the sparks of joy I saw in her brown eyes; her eyes were ones I often found myself lost in.
“Ellie…short for Elizabeth,” I explained softly, “In honour of her amazing Mummy, Elizabeth Porter, the one I love more than life itself…and the strongest woman I have ever known.”

“Today we’re going to talk about fears,” Doctor Sweets said to the group of us who had gathered on yet another Thursday evening, “What are your fears as an HIV or AIDS patient? What are your fears as the partner of someone who is suffering from HIV or AIDS? Anyone who would like to start the ball rolling?”
Doctor Sweets shifted her glasses slightly, then looked around the group of people who were shifting around in their seats, “Anyone?”
Tasha raised her hand, “My greatest fear as the partner of an AIDS patient is that…I won’t be able to do enough to help lessen her suffering.”
“Yes, thank you Tasha, for sharing that with us,” Doctor Sweets said with a smile.
“My fear…” Leisha piped in, taking Tasha’s hand in hers, “Is that won’t be able to take care of Tasha anymore, once I’m…” she coughed violently as Tasha put her arms around her, “…once something happens to me.”
“Your fear is that you won’t be able to take care of Tasha?” Doctor Sweets asked.
Leisha nodded, “A relationship, to me, is about mutual support…and I don’t want Tasha to fall into depression should anything happen to me.”
They looked at each other as Tasha dropped a kiss on her forehead. I felt my heart melt as Bette took my hand in hers and gave it a squeeze. I turned to her and smiled, grateful to have her by my side.
Bette suddenly raised her hand, “My greatest fear as an HIV patient…is that I might pass my disease to my child…when she’s born.”
“And how do you feel this might occur?” Doctor Sweets asked.
“A freak accident? I don’t know. There are a multitude of possibilities…I mean, considering how I got it…anything is possible,” Bette said.

Hello My Beautiful Cuzzie… Hmmmmm I don’t know if I trust you… you have a habit of pulling the rug out at the most opportune time… like right now when they are both very vulnerable… I’m not sure if Bette could handle raising this baby alone if something where to happen to our beautiful Helena and maybe your title is actually Bette telling Rebekah not to love her… hmmmm… No Me Ames = Don’t Love Me… and it has been assumed that it was aimed at Helena and Bette… but maybe just maybe it is Bette and the baby… hmmmm… you are completely amazing my beautiful dragonfly… mucho love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and your ever loving Cuzzie)
Poor Bette. I don’t understand why she couldn’t be there for the baby’s delivery. HIV isn’t airborn. I was hoping Peggy would have been the one to be there for Helena. I hope this experience doesn’t withdraw Bette from Helena and the baby. Next update please.
Ohhhhhhh…I’m picking up a dangerous vibe here. Tina and Helena just a wee bit too friendly with each other. Ouch. I swear Euni…you better not do what I think you’re going to do. Yikes…I’m cringing as I write this. Wow – such an incredible story and now you are bringing on the drama too! You’re just a killer! Lovin’ it…
You know I don’t understand why the doctor didn’t tell them this sooner. It’s quite odd to wait until the last moments to tell someone something like that. And then Helena screaming for Bette not to leave her. That just broke my heart. Now you have me wondering whether or not that something may happen during the birth. So let me get this right, I now must worry about Bette, Helena and the baby. Gee thanks! Reading this story has been like riding on a rollercoaster. You have your ups, and your downs as well as a few curves thrown in. And I can say it’s been a blast. And I can’t wait for your next post.Excellent update!
Oh,I think you just sucker punch the lot of us. Love that Tina is therebut.WWhy not Bette. Had this part. Bette needed that time to start bonding with the baby. Please dont let anything happens to either Helena or the baby. thanks
Yep. Your Mexican Aunties here. Hmmm Well, we do not approve of docs orders, but, heck we know that Bette and Helena do not want any risks, at this VERY important moment. We liked your choice to have Tina next to Helena. She has been a good friend to both of them. We agree with Z that Alice would have been a total train wreck with the birth of the baby girl. Next, we will welcome Rebekah Ellie Peabody-Porter. We are anxious for your update. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Hi. I am really enjoying this story. However, and I realise it’s probably just a plot device, medically I cannot see any good reason why Bette should not be present at the birth of her child.
Gosh this must be so hard on Bette not being able to share this special moment with her wife. Good thing Tina is a dear friend of them in this story otherwise I wouldn’t have trusted her in that room with Hels. Now Rebakah hurry up and don’t let mummy suffer anymore :)
Arrgh! I hate it when cyberspace sucks my comment into a black hole and I gotta do it all over! Okay…lemme try to remember…euni…Uh…Oh yeah…Awww, Angel T is gonna be with Helena! That’s prolly a better choice than Alice, because I can see her being crazy hysterical coo coo. So is that why you selected Tina to help Hels or am I reading more into it than there is? Heheh…Liked Bette almost forgetting about Hels…that was really cute! Umm…maybe tomorrow about this time, Bette & Hel can be singing baby a lullaby…hmmm? Now, remember, euni, Be Nice! :P :) Looking forward to your next posties…Thank you!
Poor Helena and Bette that they could not bring thier daughter into the world together because of a health risk,,,,well at least Tina got there in the nick of time to be with Helena and I’ll bet that Bette is so hating she can’t be with her wife and daughter…….
Wow, thing are really happening here. I am worried about both Bette and Helena here, to be distanced at this moment could… well, it could end very badly for them both. I’m glad Tina is there to be with Helena. In the end, something wicked this way comes, and I am excited to see what it is. Great writing eunichick!!
OMG! OMG! OMG! I just read Deean’s comment and OMG! … I just realized there is another unthinkable evil you could perpetrate! I dare not even utter what it is! OMG, euni! Please don’t! But I swear…that would be just like you!…to begin a story with ideal bliss only to have it end with the most grievous tragedy! Gosh! Please Be Nice!!!
That must have sucked for Bette and Helena to find out about that right at that pivotal moment.Why hadnt Dr.Grayson spoke about that with them…maybe they hadnt actually realised the risk of it all.Rebekah will be here soon enough…Hopefully life will more forward but i see this being a standstill and something more happening beneath the surface.I mean Bette has got to be so hurt she couldnt even hold Helena’s hand as their baby enters the world.PPVS
Bette forgetting Helena was just funny. Then I shifted to sad when Bette wasn’t able to be with Helena during the giving birth itself. Then… I shifted to “sweet” when Tina held Helena’s hand. What you do to me, E. What you do to me. :)
