A Few Small Repairs – Chapter 7
“Bette” Tina began to object but she was cut short.
“Just hear me out, T” Bette appealed firmly.
Tina sighed heavily and once again settled back into her chair as she complied with her wife’s request despite her skepticism.
“I think we’ve established that we both still want to have our family, right?” Bette questioned.
Tina nodded cautiously in agreement.
“But you’re understandably reluctant after everything that happened last time” Bette continued.
Tina nodded again and looked away as she battled with hot tears that threatened to surface.
“Hey, T” Bette said as she leaned forward trying to close the gap as best she could with several feet of mahogany desk separating them “Tina”
Tina reluctantly looked at her wife.
“It’s OK” Bette assured “You have every right to feel that way and I don’t want you to worry about it anymore.”
With Bette’s understanding Tina could no longer hold back the tears that spilt onto her cheeks. It was Bette’s total acceptance of her fears that had broken her heart in the end.
So many times Bette failed to see what the problem was when she would hold back. Bette was supremely confident by nature. Fear was just another obstacle that Bette would confront and ultimately force to submit to her will because she refused to submit to it. It was often a point of contention when Bette failed to comprehend why her wife wasn’t able to respond in the same way.
Instinctively Bette rose from the chair and moved around the desk to be closer to her partner. She swiveled Tina’s chair to face her and crouched in front of her wife.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Bette asked as she carefully wiped the tears from Tina’s cheeks.
“I just wish I wasn’t so afraid” Tina replied in a quiet voice.
“It’s OK, it’s fine” Bette said lovingly.
“Is it?” Tina questioned incredulously.
“I have a solution” Bette announced again as she took Tina’s hand between her own “And you don’t have to worry or feel pressured anymore.”
“Go on” Tina said halfheartedly.
“There’s a little over six months left on my contract with the CAC” Bette began and Tina wondered what on earth the CAC had to do with anything. “Franklin is insufferable and there’s no way I’ll renew even if the board did offer, which I doubt they will. You’re enjoying being back at Alphaville, right?”
“Yeah, I am” Tina confirmed.
“I know that you found it hard the last time when you gave up work and you felt like you’d lost a part of yourself. I know you weren’t comfortable with being so dependant on me and that I kind of perpetuated the issue without meaning to.” Bette paused to take a deep breath before she continued “So I was thinking about how we could get around this and then it dawned on me that there’s absolutely no reason why I shouldn’t be the one to carry our child.”
Tina’s heart skipped a beat as she wondered if she’d heard her wife correctly.

A great idea and I can’t wait to see it happen.

aah this is a good idea lets see how potter can handle all the changesshould be cute and funny for our two girls will be when tina picks her chin upoff the floor ha
great idea!!!!!!!!
See, I just knew you would do wonders with that little idea! Thanks so much for running with it. I especially liked the part about Bette’s acceptence of Tina’s fear. Great chapter as usual Hack. Now I’ll be waiting to see if Tina agrees or if she will muster the courage to face her demons and do it herself.
Smiles all around just by seeing a post by you. Great story and the lines about Tina holding back were killer. Can’t wait to see if Chase is right again.
i was also wondering why bette couldn’t carry the baby… i can’t wait to see tee’s ansewe… please post soon
Now you’re talking! Wonderful, more please!
I wonder if your Tina’s reticence goes beyond the idea of having to carry the child. From a prior chapter it seemed she wanted them to perhaps just ‘be’ for a while or needed to round a corner in her mind on the issue. I hope she is as ready for parenthood as her partner. Your carefully written posts entertain, elicit response and leave me in thought. Missing the chance to offer my appreciation for most of your chapters having only come upon the site as your main story was approaching conclusion, I do so now. Thank you for taking the time to write.
am totally with chasemenow! can’t wait for the next post..!!!!
pregnant hormonal Bette – that’s a visual. Good idea – can’t wait to see where you take it.
