A Deeper Song, post 24
Angelica arrived home from school and was kept out of the birthing room despite her protests.
In her ninth hour of labor Bette was glowing. Tina had not imagined a woman giving birth could be so breathtakingly gorgeous. Bette’s face was flushed and there was a light sheen of perspiration from her labor over endless honey skin and full ripe breasts. Tina told her just how beautiful she was. Bette gave her a sardonic smile. “It’s lucky for you that I can’t blame you for this. You have no idea how much I want to curse Rosanna out at this moment.” She said without thinking.
Pain flashed across Tina’s face. “I wish you were cursing me. I would love nothing more than the babe you are birthing to be mine in every sense of the word.”
“Since there is no doubt that I am yours…” she hesitated to concede her alpha status “he is too by extension.” Bette told her softly. “Oh god” Bette cried as another contraction hit her. She clutched Tina’s hand tightly. Kit, Shane and Alice exhanged amused glances, this was blackmail material.
“Breathe, babe. Count with me.” Tina mopped her face with a cool cloth.
“Check how we are doing.” Marissa instructed.
“We.” Bette grumbled.
“We” Tina smiled and reached between her legs. She felt the baby’s head occupying almost Bette’s entire cervix he was on the way.
“We” Bette answered when she could speak again. “Thank you T. Thank you for being here with me.” She really looked at Tina and thought about the incredible bond that she shared with this woman. “I love you.” She said before another contraction hit her. They were coming much faster now.
Marissa kept a running dialogue and instructed Bette and her family in the best techniques to lessen the pain. Suddenly it was time to push. Bette went back into the tank, which eased her, the most.
The chair was prepared. Marissa threw everyone out except Tina at this point. Tina coached as Bette pushed; suddenly the head emerged. Several minutes later came the shoulders and then Bette delivered Rowan into Tina’s waiting hands.
Marissa talked Tina through the cutting of the cord. She and Tina cleaned him up to present to Bette. Just as she was carrying him to Bette he opened his eyes. He looked at Tina and held her gaze. Tina felt as if her heart was bursting, the piercing blue and innocence overwhelmed her. He’s got Rosanna’s eyes she thought. That stunned her. She broke eye contact to hand him to Bette. Bette took one look at him and gasped. “Ro.” The tears began to fall rapidly. On cue Rowan began to wail.

Beautiful. Cab’t wait until you post again. Maybe a sequel for this story?
Have I mentioned that I love this story. Didn’t think I would as it started with Ro, and then a death. but I look everyday for an update and this was beautiful. Brilliant touches with all the characters, uncomfortable Shane, scared for her life Helena, Tina’s jealousy (?) then love for Rowan. Thanks for posting before your vacation.

Dear Kelika,That was so beautiful–a moving birth. I like that this story has dealt so amazingly well with the love two women can share with each other AND the profound meaning childbirth and child rearing has for women.

Hey Kelika, That was so sweet and heartfelt. Good to see Bette and Tina talking so openly about Rosanna and her family. Rowan is perfect; a little slice of heaven. I would like to see this end with Bette and Tina marrying. Having them make that committment would just be sublime. Many thanks for this emotive tale. Your Loyal Fan.

EBB is one of my favorite poets, so fitting to express B&T love…hurray, B&T have another baby
Beautiful. That first glimpse had to be hard for Tina, but Rowan is a part of Bette, thus Tina will love him as she does Bette, and Angelica. That is with every fiber of her being. Glad to see Bette reassurring her that though she misses Ro, her love for Tina is unquestionable.
Thank you for writing this wonderful story, I always look forward to your posts.
