Chapter 28

Tina couldn’t help but smile, today was a good day, Reed was now two months old. He is laying in the middle of their living room floor eating his toes, with Oz looking on. Bette lay beside him showing him different brightly coloured animals that he was smiling at. Tina loved the fact that Reed now had Bette’s amazing smile. Tina had just got in from work. She was working two days a week, doing paperwork. She had chosen to do it be close to her wife and son.

            “What’s this Reedy. It’s a panda.” Bette said in her baby voice. Tina was glad that she hadn’t fully shut down after the rose had arrived.

            “Reedy, where is Mommy!” Bette said to him, he moved his eyes towards Tina and giggled.

            “Good boy!” Tina said, she got down on her knees and gently blew raspberry’s on his stomach. he giggled at once. His little arms waving. Bette reached over and passed Tina her mail. She saw the official looking letter at the top. Tina knew what it was at once. She took it her hands shaking. She slowly opened it. It was from the family court. Tina slowly opened it and read it. She had been so scared that she wouldn’t be able to adopt Reed.

            “Wow,”

            “What is it?” Bette asked as she picked Reed up and sat him onto her knee.

            “It’s the letter from the court. They’ve erm…” Tina started crying. Bette looked at her completely shocked.

            “What is it Ti?” Bette said, worried. Tina looked up she was smiling through the tears. Bette’s heart was racing.

            “I’m his Mom!” She said. “Officially I’m his Mom, wow. Bette. I’m his Mom!” Bette grinned at her wife, before passing Reed over to her. Reed gripped her hair smiling. Tina held him as Bette put his arms around them both

            “You were his Mom no matter what but I’m so glad. That he is now officially.” Bette said. “You’re the best wife and mother.”

            “I’m glad. I’m now officially his Mom.” She kissed Reed who just giggled.

            “He is going to need feeding soon.”

            “Has he been good today?” Tina asked, she hated leaving them, as she knew that Bette wasn’t 100% .

            “He has been great. Eating his toes most of the time.”

            “Normal then!” Tina laughed. As she got up. Bette moved, to make some coffee.

            “Ti, do you want to bath him?”

            “Sure.” Tina laughed, taking him into the bathroom, when she lay him on the floor he kicked his feet. He loved bath time. Tina smiled at him. As she put some water into the bath. Within minutes Reed was slashing her.

            “Wet t-shirt comp?” Bette asked

            “Only because Reedy seems to think that water should be outside the bath and not in it!” Tina replied. Laughing at Reed as Bette watched on.

            “I love you!” she said slowly.

            “I love you too!” Tina replied. “So much!”

            “What would you like for dinner?”

            “I’m not sure, whatever?”

            “Take out?” Bette said,

            “Yeh why not!” Tina said as she lifted Reed up. “What do you think Reedy?”

            “What does he say?” Bette laughed.

            “Milk Momma’s milk.” Tina giggled.

            “I’ll order Chinese and then feed him.”

            “Sounds good, I’ll get him dressed.”

            “Oh put his cute blue PJs on.”

            “Okay!” Tina smiled, as She watched Bette go off to the phone. She picked Reed up. “Well Reedy it looks like I’m having take out and you’re having some momma milk. God I love you!” She said hugging him close.
