Chapter 19

Tina looked across at Bette who was lay on the bed, her hand resting on her stomach, she had cried. Tina couldn’t blame her. It was a massive shock to the system that she was in fact carrying a boy. However once she had gotten over the shock she was getting used to it. She had even admitted that she wouldn’t love him any less. Tina walked over, and sat herself onto the bed and leant forward and kissed her girlfriend softly on the lips, Bette slowly opened her eyes and looked at Tina, a small smile came to her lips.

            “Hey!” Tina said grinning.

            “Hey,” Bette replied.

            “I’ve just had Carolyn on the phone.”

            “Have they arrived,” Bette said wanting to know at once.

            “Yep, and they are unpacking. Jake wants to see you,”

            “I want to see him,” Bette admitted gently rubbing her stomach, Tina looked at her and reached down and gently ran her own hand over her stomach.

            “Hey little dude, you’re active today!” Tina said, making Bette giggle. Tina gently moved Bette’s shirt up and exposed her round stomach. she reached down and kissed her stomach, “I love you and I love your Mommy, and we are going to give you the best life.”

            “I love you too!” Bette said slowly running her fingers through Tina’s hair  “And serious ‘Little dude’”

            “Well every boy needs a nickname and as you’ve not named him yet little dude is cool.” Tina grinned.

            “We’ve not named him!” Bette said slowly looking deep into Tina’s hazel eyes.

            “What?”

            “You said ‘you’ve not named him’ like you will have no say.”

            “Sorry?” Tina looked at Bette, who was grinning they hadn’t really had the conversation about the role Tina would play in the babies life as it was so soon into their relationship that this was happening.

            “He is our baby,” Bette said, taking Tina’s hand and putting it back onto her stomach. “He is going to be our baby, and we are going to love him and care for him and give him the best life that we possibly can.”  Bette saw the tears in Tina’s eyes. “I would like you to be his second parent Ti, I want you to adopt him!”
