    Blueprints—Chapter 2

    Bette remained silent but was starting to see where the story was going

    “I had Jacob at 16. As soon as they put him in my arms I was smitten. He was my life. Chris didn’t want me to have Jacob. He wanted me to have an abortion. Said it would kill his chances at a college football scholarship…I told him basically to “Fuck Off” that I didn’t need him or his permission. His family didn’t want to accept Jacob either so I raised him alone with the help of my parents. I had received my high school diploma early and while I worked on my online courses my Mom helped take care of Jacob. Chris did show up to his first birthday but after that I never heard from him until…well until the day of the funeral”

    Bette gasps not knowing if Tina had heard her

    “Jacob had incurable cancer. By the time we got him to the doctor, the cancer had spread to his brain. It had started as a Heptatoblastoma. A tumor in the liver that usually doesn’t metastasize but in Jacob’s case it did. It was a very rare occurrence. He started becoming very fussy and really couldn’t communicate his pains to me. He was only 3..I began to get concerned as he wouldn’t eat anymore and he started running fever. I took him to his pediatrician who ran blood tests which caught the cancer. They found the tumor during a scan but saw it had metastasized to the brain. The doctors said there was nothing they could do for him at that point. He began having seizures shortly after his diagnosis and was put on hospice care and died two months later. Just like that my baby was gone” Tina finishes burying her head in her hands and straining to hold back her tears which she couldn’t anymore.

    Bette felts tears streaming down her face and moved to sit next to Tina’s left side bringing her hand to rest on her right shoulder rubbing it in comfort. She didn’t know quite what to say as there was probably nothing she could say to Tina that would even console her after something so devastating as losing a child. To Bette’s surprise, Tina leaned into Bette who pulled her in closer for a comforting hug.

    1. I’m really liking this…. So Tina and Bette are married to their work…. funny banter. Really funny when Bette says that the kiss on the cheek might make Tina spouse jealous especially in her presence.

      They are beginning to be attracted to one another… both professionals. I just hope that they do have time to have a real relationship which is binding and long term. With Tina’s promotion to Chief of Staff and a new research center, there are going to be high demands on her time. And Bette just beginning a new architectural firm is going to be time consuming as well. And they are both so young, with many prime working years ahead. This works for some, but it is difficult. I hope they do well…

      Thanks for this chapter… love the update… love to see more….

      • Thanks so much Martha3128!

        It does seem a stretch for Bette and Tina to build a relationship when they are in a sense married to their work. Really it’s because they have nothing on the outside worth trying to balance their lives until now. Without giving too much away I think you will enjoy how they go about trying to build their relationship and incorporate it into their busy lives.

        Thanks again!

    2. Liking this story. Alice is so funny. Calling them TiBette and shipping them is just hilarious. “Alice shakes her head “Never!..I’m totally shipping you two..Long live TiBette!” Just great! And Dana is in the story. I hope Peggy is going to make it. Somehow I think Helena may make an appearance. Is she does – stay away from Tina! Maybe Bette will go visit Peggy. Tina and Bette are really cute together. Very sweet. I like your version of them very much. They both seem well suited for their professions. Maybe they can fit a little love and romance in around their busy lives? Alice already sees it. Looking forward to more.

      • Billy! Thanks for the comment!

        I can assure you that Helena- if she does appear in this story- will have nothing to do with Tina other than to deal with her as her mother’s doctor. I hope that eases your anxiety..lol

    3. I just absolutely love and adore this story so very much!! I really love the stories that don’t follow along the lines of the show. This story and your writing is so very talented and I’m just really anxious about where u are going to take them. Please keep writing and posting or else u will be truly missed.

      • Thanks for the lovely comment!

        I’m so pleased you are enjoying the story and I can assure you I’m not going anywhere. This story is completely finished so I will be posting a chapter weekly until the last one. I’m already working on a sequel and if everyone wants it then I will continue.

      • Thanks kiwipit!

        I appreciate you coming back to this story and are here for the ride!

        Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I look forward to your thoughts as well as everyone else’s as we go along!

    4. This is a fantastic story!!! I read a it when you posted it before. I loved it then too.

      I am not a Alice fan but in this story she is hilarious.

      The teasing and fun Bette and Tina had was a pleasure to read. Tina already trust Bette enough to tell her about Jacob, a good sign. And they share their Birthday, who would have thought about that, they have a lot in commen and i am with Alice, i root for Tibette! Now they have to talk with their spouses so that they can take steps to built a relationship ;)

    5. Loved the chapter, I’m glad to know that this fic is already finished. I will be waiting with baited breath for each new chapter. I am excited about reading this in it’s entirety including the sequel and anything else you want to write for us. Please post soon.

    6. This is a fun story to read. Shows us again that what ever the circumstances, professions or life style these two will find each other. Here’s to Bette designing the medical center of Tina’s dreams and here’s to Tina for opening her heart to a new relationship with Bette. So nice to watch from the sidelines. Popcorn popped and feet up on the coffee table reading. Fantastic. Thanks!

    7. Jlr921,
