After the Ultrasound – Conclusion
Story written on October 10, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
The phone rang at precisely nine o’clock.
Tina answered, anxious to hear the voice she knew would be on the other end.
"Hi," Bette replied quietly. "This is a good time?"
"Alice left about an hour ago," Tina replied. "And I look care of that little errand as well."
"Could you stand a little company?" Bette was cautious about proposing that she come over. She didn’t want to push Tina.
"How soon can you be here?"
"I’m parked outside," Bette replied with a smile.
"Then come on in. I want to hear about your appointment with Foxworthy."
*********
Bette entered Tina’s apartment and set her purse down on the small table just inside the doorway. Tina took her hand and led her to the couch, and they sat down facing each other.
"God, it’s been quite the day," Tina started. "I don’t even know where to begin."
Tina’s belly did a flip. She took Bette’s hand so they could share the moment together.
"She’s telling us we should start by discussing how amazing she looked on the ultrasound," Bette laughed.
"Seems much more real to you now I imagine?" Tina asked.
"I wasn’t sure if you were going to let me be a part of her life," Bette replied. "But in addition, I didn’t think I was ever going to be part of your life again."
"It’s not going to happen overnight, Bette," Tina stated. "We have a lot of work to do."
"I realize that," Bette replied. "And as you may have guessed, this was the topic of conversation at therapy tonight."
"Do tell," Tina settled in to hear Bette’s take on the evening’s appointment.
"We’re being totally up front with each other, right?" Bette asked cautiously.
"I think we’ve discovered that’s the only way to be if we’re going to solve anything," Tina replied.
"I asked Dan if he thought it was a mistake that we slept together before addressing some of the problems we have," Bette said. "And like your typical therapist, he asked me if I thought it was a mistake."

Definitely a different avenue to venture down as I chose a different route when writing mine. But I really did enjoy this banter, self proclaimed truths and the promise to work on things.
Thank you, thank you, thank you… Now that was most excellently written. AND, I like your version so much better than the original.
Wonderful story
Really enjoyed this story. Love your writing, please post again.
Great ending! I’m just sad it’s over! Amazing.
Swimmie, your writing is wonderful and I so enjoy it. I think one chapter for the conclusion is not enough, surely you could give us a couple more chapters to flesh out the conclusion and their total reconnection. And I would love to read Alice’s version of what happened with helena in Tina’s apt. I know I’m just greedy but I like your version of the things that happened. Thanks anyway for writing this story. Loved it!!! Come back soon.
Thank you for coming back. It’s a pleasure to read your work. I am really enjoying your archived “old” stories as well.
🐠 Thank you ✊😬

Thank you for this story. I love that you actually let them both be adults in this one. Please continue with a new story. or how about a continuation of this one about 5 years later? :)
Wonderful. It’s like therapy for PTS3D: post-traumatic season 3 disorder. :-) (Even though, I suppose, if you were really mean, Season 3 could still happen.) This is what they needed to do. Thanks for rewriting it in our heads. :-D
And all was right with the world. Goodnight.
Thanks JKS for sweet ending! :-) I think this story should be included in the bundled of S3 as some comforter after so much rubbish offered there. :-pPlease keep sharing your story and talents here :-) thank you!! ^^,
