Change – Chapter 22
A few days after ms Kennard had visited, the phone rang. Bette didn’t pick up, she was convinced that it would be one of Kit’s friends asking her if she would join them going out somewhere, or maybe it was Richard to ask if he could come over. Needless to say she was surprised when she heard a knock on her bedroom door. It was Kit, handing her the device and telling her who it was. Tina Kennard.
"Thanks, Kit." Bette’s voice trembled. Kit left and the brunette sat down on her bed, taking a deep breath. Her hands were shaking.
"Hello?"
"Bette?"
"Yes?"
"I… well, I promised you the other day that I would let you know about the result of my pregnancy test. I wanted to let you know… it’s positive."
A painful silence fell as Bette had to muster up all courage she had to utter that one word: "Congratulations."
"Thank you."
Neither of both women really knew what to say. The big word was out there and it changed both of their lives. Tina would become a mom, she would have a baby, which was a huge responsibility to carry. Bette was devastated – the smallest inch of hope she had of ms Kennard ever confessing any feelings for her was now gone. The beautiful blonde would never leave the father of her child, she would probably consider it selfish to deprive her baby of his or her father.
"I would appreciate it if you kept it silent for a while. I don’t want anybody to know yet – it’s still in an early stage and anything could go wrong."
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret. How did your boyfriend take it?"
Tina sighed and hoped it wasn’t audible over the phone. It was.
"He was delighted. He’s making all sorts of crazy plans – I wish he didn’t. It’s probably stupid, but it’s like I’ll lose the baby if we cheer too loud, you know?"
"I guess."
Awkward silence.
"Well, I don’t meant that bitter or angry or sarcastic or something. It’s just that, you know, I’ve never been pregnant. But I’m really happy for you, ms."
"I knew what you meant, Bette. Are you really happy?"

Ok, you said to Have Faith. That’s my mantra now, while I read this story. have faith… have faith… have faith… have faith.Bette ould love the baby and Ks. Kennard regardless. But quite frankly, ummmm… perhaps there could be some divine intervention. Perhaps God could use a little angel up in heaven. if you get my drift. Crud! I should feel bad for thinking that… But, come on! Why can’t people use protection? Is it that friggin difficult to remember? I would expect a helluva lot more from a teacher than such irresponsibility.have faith… have faith… have faith… have faith…
no no no not positive???? GOSH Jess wont let his son or daughter go. I am totally with Emae29 why Tina did not use protection knowing se wasn’t in love with Jess?? I am it big time.PPVS
Hi, dear sweet Gen! *waving* You are suggesting us to HAVE FAITH? Oh my Gosh! With all the drama here, Bette lacking so much self esteem and Tina pregnant, hiding her true feelings from her boyfriend as well as Bette. Are you sure there is any hope left? We’re sorry, dearest friend, but this is too much to digest. Thanks for a great update. You are doing a fine job here. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties of the loving JC, Eunichick, ZLFAN, T_Daze, Melrose231 and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
Oh noooooooo….it was positive. Ms. Kennard needs to get a grip and figure out what she wants now, before the baby is born. She needs to decide what her relationship is with Jesse and make it clear to him before that happens. Poor Bette!
I am certain Bette would welcome Ms Kennard and the child
Hmmmm…okay…I will indeed have faith! Thank you..you know how much I like this story..
This is so heartbreaking. A baby is a gift. Sigh..Faith. I’m keeping my finger cross. Thanks for sharing. Please do post soon.
