“Oh my God!” Tina said as her eyes lit up in understanding “Are you?”
“I am” Wendy affirmed, grinning from ear to ear.
“You’re what?” Bette asked, completely mystified by the shorthand conversation.
“She’s pregnant” Tina announced while her eyes remained firmly on Wendy.
“Well that’s the best reason I’ve heard for giving up Cosmo’s” Bette offered with a big smile “Wendy, that’s great. Congratulations!”
Bette leaned over and kissed Wendy’s cheek before excusing herself and heading for the bar.
Wendy had been a little nervous about sharing the news of her pregnancy after learning that things had not worked out for her friends. While Tina had been immediately supportive and inquisitive, Bette’s reaction would politely be described as reserved at best.
As Wendy stood in the doorway between her living room and kitchen her heart warmed at the sight before her. Jake, her two week old son lay nestled against Bette’s chest, resting quietly in the secure haven of her arms. Wendy smiled with joy and relief at seeing the delight on her friends’ faces as they marveled over her firstborn. Any lingering concerns over Bette’s initial reaction to her pregnancy evaporated as she looked on.
The moment was broken by the sound of Tina’s cell phone ringing. Tina quickly retrieved the phone from her handbag and answered it. After a couple of seconds she slipped out through the sliding glass door and onto the deck for some privacy.
“My wife the film executive” Bette whispered as she looked up and smiled as Wendy stepped into the room.
“Do you think she’ll give it up for one of these?” Wendy asked as she bent and kissed her son’s tiny forehead.
Bette hesitated for a second before she replied “I hope so”
“You two really should try again, Bette” Wendy encouraged “Any child would be lucky to have you and Tina as parents”
“Thanks” Bette replied quietly. It took all of her strength to hold back the strong emotions which had suddenly blindsided her. Throughout the ups and downs of the last year Bette had never stopped longing for the family that she and Tina had planned. While she felt entirely secure about their relationship, the issue of trying again for a family was one she was reluctant to broach with her wife.
Bette cleared her throat “I’m sure we’ll try again one day” She offered with a small smile.
As if on cue the sliding door opened again and Tina reappeared.
“Bette, we really should get going” Tina urged “I’m sure Wendy’s got a million things to do”
“There’s never a dull moment, that’s for sure” Wendy said before offering another happy smile.
“All right little man” Bette said as she stepped over to Wendy and carefully placed the tiny infant in his mother’s waiting arms “You be good for your Mom, OK?”
Bette and Tina said their goodbyes to both mother and child before disappearing out into the warm summer evening.
Wendy closed the door behind them and sat down on the sofa as Jake slept soundly in her arms.
“I think your Mom made a mistake” Wendy whispered to her tiny son “Looks like it’s your Aunty Tina we need to work on, Jake”

Hackgirl, this was an honest portrayal of B & T as they struggle to get back their relationship. It makes sense that Tina would be the one to be more apprehensive given what she lost the first time around. I am thoroughly enjoying your small repairs…it looks like B & T certainly need them.
You write so well, I want to compliment you well. But, your writing surpasses my compliments…what’s a girl to do?
OMG please tell me im first. im in awe of your writing. i love this repairing your doing. its repairing my heart and soul from last season. so well done. i dont even know how to tell you how your words just flow and give pausel kinda contradictory. but hopefully youll understand, its beautiful but it makes me think. so good on all fronts. please post soon.
Great chapter, and good plan. Now, how to convince Tina to try again and for you to post chapters sooner…
As for your deal: how about, you keep making small repairs, and I read them?
Let see if Bette is the smooth talker we know she is. Talking Tinsssssa Tina into another chilf if not Tins then Bette… Thanks
I hope Wendy can convince Tina. Maybe Bette could get pregnant this time.
awesome…! Tina should try again..now that they have got through so far..Bette and Tina should have a talk bout it.
As usual, I simply let your writing envelop me and carry me through the story. In point of fact you make astute observations regarding the varied pull of parenthood on one partner or the other. You capture this difference very well. You’re on a roll…keep the chapters coming!
HG,
Again a little slice of magic.
Pure and true emotions are on display and like Jake with Bette have captured my heart.
I can’t wait to this scenario played out. Bette being the one desperate for a family while Tina is more resistant to the idea. This is completely understandable given the lost of their baby boy.
It thrills me to think that Wendy realized that she needs to work on Tina and not Bette., Excitement ahead I feel.
Thank you for filling in the blanks.
Your Loyal Fan.
PS – Please continue and avoid the Red Square!
The repairs are simply wonderful!
That was so beautiful.
Thank you.
ho pe Wendy try to convince Tina to try again they deserve and theres no reason to be afraid to try..great chapter post soon

Excellent chapter. This story is so good. Love it.
I have been reading all of your stories over the past two days and they were abosolutely wonderful. You have a talent for describing the characters emotions that makes you feel as though you were right there. By far you are undoubtedly one of my favorite fanfic writers. The intricate details in your stories are so simple but yet so profound and only brings the story more to life…if only it could be played out like this on the show. I would love for you to continue writing your stories as I am so sure I will not be disappointed. Once again, thanks for sharing.
Silly me I almost missed this. It’s been a while but I hope you continue. Expectations and perception make things interesting don’t they? Indeed, people surprise me all the time. Readiness for parenthood especially in a relationship such as the one depicted by these two characters is very much a conscious decision – of course an emotional one too. It remains to be seen whether these two converge eventually. Hope to see another post from you soon. Thanks for writing.
