Bette groans, “Oohhh….why don’t we just forget the whole thing and adopt?”

Tina playfully throws a pillow at Bette, “Quit being such a baby….I’m the one that has to carry the baby and go through the pain of child birth.”

Chapter 20……………………..

Tina squeezes Bette’s hand, “Are you excited?” Bette looks at Tina and chuckles at her giddy expression, “Babe, I think the appeal wore off two tries ago.” Tina looks at Bette and kisses her hand, “Well, you know what they say….third times a charm.”

Bette: “Yeah….sure.”

Tina: “Baby……..”

Bette: “Sorry, sorry. I’ll try not to be so pessimistic. I know this is a happy day, I’m just getting a little frustrated. The last two times we’ve come here with high hopes and nothing. You know I’m not good with let downs.”

Tina: “I know, but Dr. Wilson explained that it wasn’t likely to happen the first time.”

Bette: “Yeah, I know, I was just hoping.”

Tina looks adoringly at Bette, “I love you.”

Bette smiles, “I love you, too.”

The nurse walks into the reception area and calls them back. Dr. Wilson greets them as they enter the room, “Hello, Bette, Tina.”

“Hi, Dr. Wilson. ” They reply in unison.

Dr. Wilson: “Well, Tina you should now the drill by now. If you’ll just change into the gown and get comfortable we’ll get started.”

Tina lays down on the bed and Bette sits next to her holding her hand. Dr. Wilson seats herself at the end of the bed and prepares for the embryo transfer (ET). Once everything is in place she looks up at Tina, “Ok, I’m going to insert a small catheter and you will experience a little discomfort. Are you ready?” Tina nods. Tina winces and Bette directs all her attention to her wife. She gently caresses Tina’s hand and kisses her forehead while quietly whispering, “I love you’s” Dr. Wilson successfully complete’s the transfer and stands clearing her tray, “Ok, girls that’s it. Tina, you will need to take it easy and get plenty of rest for the next 48 hours then you’ll be able to return to normal activities after that time, but… ” she pauses for a moment and smiles patting Bette on the back, “please remember you should refrain from any sexual activity for at least a couple of weeks to ensure a successful unterine implantation. Alright, well I’ll see you in approxmiately 8 to 10 days then we’ll perform a blood pregnancy test.” She walks out leaving the two alone.
