He took to the breast eagerly, sucking Bette fiercely until he was satisfied. Bette was amazing as a nursing mother. If Tina could paint she would capture that moment when the two of them were gazing in wonder at each other. Tina felt many pangs of guilt over the past. They had missed so much together with Angie. She had been too angry, too consumed with things that ultimately did not matter.
The time she and Bette were apart was painful yet necessary she saw. They would have killed the precious bond they shared if they had stayed together, even if Bette had chosen her over Rosanna. She could see that now. She could see it because in that moment when Kit called and said there had been a terrible accident her blood froze. She never knew the meaning of that expression until that moment.
They would not lose one another to the passion and short sightedness of youth. Elizabeth Barrett-Browning and Robert Browning knew the love they had. It was immortalized in poetry.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith
It might sound corny Tina thought to herself and she didn’t care. She only knew what she knew and Bette was her Alpha and Omega. Her first and her last and all that came in between. She knew also in her soul that she was the same to Bette.
As the days passed by she grew even more comfortable in the home that Bette once made with Rosanna. It was more spacious by far than their former home. She missed the pool intensely. She missed her garden and her flowers. When all was said and done home was where Bette was, and Angelica and Rowan. She smiled as the door slid open. She leaned back into the brunettes embrace. She was indeed home.
“You’re up early.” Bette nuzzled her with her nose. Eskimo kisses.
“Thanking the divine.” Tina answered honestly and humbly.
“Fred and Catherine will be here today.” Bette reminded.
“I remember.”
“Will you be here, with me?”
“Do you want me here?”
“Always.”
“Then I will be here. I have to go into the office for a few hours just to take care of a few things but I will be back around two. They should be here around noon right?”
“Yes, Denise will pick them up at the airport and bring them directly here. They will be staying here for a few days then at The Four Seasons with other family members who will be coming in for the Baptism. They want to get to know you.”
“I understand still it is strange to be assessed by your ex-wife’s parents.”
“Widow.” Bette amended. “We were still married.”
“I know, Babe.” Tina said softly. She turned and looked into the ebony eyes and saw the sadness that lurked in the corners from time to time. “I know you were still married and would be to this day.”
“T can you understand that I miss her and love you more than words can say?”
“If I didn’t we wouldn’t be standing right here, right now.” Tina kissed her bringing her back to the present and back to her.
When they pulled apart Bette sought her gaze once more. “I really, really love you, Tina Kennard.”
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breath and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears of all my life!-and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett-Browning

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.
I love that poem, so much. I loved this story. It was beautiful.
You are amazing Kelika! Thanks for writing. Have a safe fun-filled vacation!
Really awesome K! Great lines, great portrayal of our girls. Hope we can expect more from you!
That was beautiful!
Brilliant Chapter!! Have a fun-filled vacation and a safe return.
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.

K, that was so beautiful. I went back this weekend and reread Even in the Quietest Moments, just to refresh my memory and I could barely tear myself away of this computer. You have a way of keeping everyone’s attention and you just can’t stop reading until it’s over. Anyway, I’m just trying to say that I love all your stories and I can’t wait for more. Have a great vacation!
Kel.. what a moving story and birth… great update women job well done keep up the great work and thanks for sharing it with ur fans. post soon sweetie.:)))
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.
