I suddenly felt someone take my hand, dropping a kiss on my forehead, “Al…Alice…” I managed to say as I opened my eyes. I found myself looking into a pair of beautiful hazel eyes framed with soft golden blond hair. The light that fell above her made her look like an angel.
“Alice?” I asked again, finding the eyes slightly unfamiliar.
“No,” a voice said, taking my hand into hers, “It’s me, Tina…”
***
Seven pounds and sixteen ounces of pure and absolute beauty; nothing could taint the moment I first held Rebekah in my arms.
Happy tears rolled down my cheeks, all the pain I had felt only minutes ago simply disappeared. I looked up at Tina, who had not let go of my hand from the moment she walked to my side, and noticed that she too had tears in her eyes. I turned and looked across the room at Bette, smiling uncontrollably at my wife whose face was lit up with unsurmountable joy.
“I love you,” I mouthed to her as she took a few steps closer to me, “Would you like to hold your daughter?” I asked, gesturing to the squirming bundle in my arms.
A look ran past her eyes, a look I could not quite make out, “I…I shouldn’t,” she said, taking a few steps backwards, “I might drop her.”
“Don’t be silly,” Tina teased, “You’re not going to drop her…hold your daughter, Bette.”
Tina leaned over to take Rebekah from my arms which were still weak from labour and placed her in Bette’s embrace. Rebekah stretched her arms, her tiny mouth opening in a little ‘O’.
“She’s beautiful,” Bette cried, “So incredibly beautiful. You did amazing, baby, you did amazing…” Bette gently fingered Rebekah’s tiny hands and feet, “Ten fingers, ten toes…she’s perfect…”
I laughed, keeping my gaze on Bette’s face.
“I shall leave you guys for a while,” Tina said, “Let me go find Alice, Peggy and Kit.”
Tina walked out of the room as Bette moved to sit by my side. She kissed my forehead as we looked down at our newborn baby girl. She was immaculate.
“Thank you for our daughter, Helena,” Bette whispered, unable to take her eyes off Rebekah.

E, what a great new chapter you wrote, loved how Bette actually passed her ways of changing for the better so that she could cherish her family more and know that she was not dying but still alive. I am saddened to have read that Leisha had passed away but htat Tasha would continue to live as how what Leisha wanted,, maybe they can introduce her to Alice ;)
Happy New Year Euni! (I’ll be celebrating too!) The year of the Ox is upon us. I hope you enjoy your festivities. Time is passing quickly for these two – it makes me wonder where you are leading us with this wonderful story. I’m dreadfully afraid that Bette will suffer the same fate as Leisha. Post when you can!
Hi. I hope B and H at least begin to kiss again (on the lips). It would be a shame to never resume that part of their relationship.
Hello Euni, I have missed you and your story but it just is not the kind I can read on a regular basis. You have been so kind and caring with your words. You show how we can overcome so much in life and in death with the support of our friends and family. You have been very sensitive in the way you’ve weaved your tale and it was a touching experience to be able to read it. Sorry but I can only do it in chunks, hope thats ok with you. You and GB have a wonderful New Year celebration. Thank you, Md
This was a great chapter! It had it’s happy mpments as well as some sad ones. But I must admit I find myself getting somewhat nervous when I read this story. I can’t help but wonder, what will she throw at us today. Will I be strong enough to handle it? You have done an excellent job in writing this. And I truly can’t wait to read more of it real soon. Also I hope you as well as others, are enjoying the celebration of the Chinese New Year.
Im glad nothing dramaric happened at Rebekah’s birth and in a way I really understand Bette, I wouldn’t take the risk either if I were her. Good to see Becky brings so much joy in Bette’s life she forgets about her problems or should I say put them aside. I’m very sorry for Tasha and I hope she will make it through without her partner. Enjoy your festivities dearie and take all the time you need to post again :)
Phew. I’m glad the Dr wasn’t a quack who doesn’t understand HIV.
glad to see that they are returning to some type of normalcy..amazing what a child can do…
i feel very sorry for Tasha…I wonder if Helena or Bette will ever bump into her again i wonder.Hopefully they will she needs all the help she can get.Im workin on chappie 3 as we talk…hopefulli should b dun soon.enjoy your Chinese New Year.
Hi, sweet niece of ours! What a delightful update! We couldn’t help our huge grin while reading the whole chappy. You did an amazing job here. We felt sorry for Tasha’s loss of her partner. Hopefully, after mourning for a while, she will find the means to move on. Can’t wait for your next installment. Enjoy the festivities. You know we will be there, in spirit. Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Oh, euni, this was just such a beautiful chapter, and beautifully written as well…butofcourse :) I loved the lullaby…I actually don’t know that one, but I still loved it as I used to so enjoy singing to my little nieces when they were babies…playing hide n seek, swinging them outside in the sunshine, rocking them as they sucked on their bottles and looked into my eyes…sigh…what lovely memories you’ve conjured for me. Now…um…you’ve been really nice, so thank you very much, but you know you still scare me :P Happy New Year and enjoy your long weekend. I’ll be waiting for mooooooooore :)
Hey eunichick – Great Chapter! There was such truth in the fear of Bette’s, such truth in the relationship between Bette and Helena that it makes me smie, even through the sadness… AThe end, with Leisha dying – it felt like foreshadowing to me… I’m liking the set-up. Have a Happy New year *hugs*.
Hello My Most Beautiful Cuzzie… Wow with each stroke of your brush you have continued to weave a tale of heartfelt love and indefinite tragedy… as time continues to move forwad I feel that Bette is taking advantage of all her opertunities but she is still holdign her failings so close to her chest… I still feel that you are going to do something pull some twist like you usually do ;) ;) and spin some more drama… the sympathy the Helena feels towards Tasha is something that can only become more of a burden as time moves forward… as long as Bette can continue the intamacy and connection strong they will be safe… but her resolve can only last so long… pfffttttt… you are so bloody amazing the emotions, the tensions, the layering of your writing is so beautiful… love and hugs, always and forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and your ever loving Cuzzie and Personal Fanner to the Incredibly Talent Deean) PS – did you like the poster LOL…
