    Author Notes:

    ‘They’re here.’ Bette looked up to see Audrey and Theo hurrying into reception, scanning to find herself and Tina, finding them and then smiling as the two sets of grandparents-to-be met in a flurry of handshakes and awkward hugs. ‘How is Angie?’ Audrey asked, still holding Tina’s hand. ‘She’s fine. She just texted to—’ ‘She

    ‘They’re here.’

    Bette looked up to see Audrey and Theo hurrying into reception, scanning to find herself and Tina, finding them and then smiling as the two sets of grandparents-to-be met in a flurry of handshakes and awkward hugs.

    ‘How is Angie?’ Audrey asked, still holding Tina’s hand.

    ‘She’s fine. She just texted to—’

    ‘She messaged you?’ Bette asked.

    ‘She messaged you too, Bette, but you’re ignoring your phone.’

    Bette blushed, took her phone out of her pocket and saw that she had numerous little red circles with numbers in them. Too many.

    ‘Is she okay?’ she asked Tina. ‘Should we go up there?’

    ‘She’s fine.’

    ‘I think we could go up,’ Theo said, looking at Bette. ‘Better to be close at hand, right?’

    Bette looked at him. Detected an understanding. Her heart warmed . . .

    ***

    The night passed as every night passes in a hospital waiting area. Long stretches of staring at the same arrangement of chairs, tables, notice boards and vending machines punctuated with coffee and candy and the occasional appearance of a messenger – in this case Mitch, his hair sticking up, his eyes small and pink behind his heavy lenses.

    Around six a.m. the nursing shift changed. Everyone was allowed to go into the birthing suite, briefly, to say hi. Angie looked tired but otherwise coping well. The baby’s ETA was anywhere between four and eight hours. Bette just put her face in her hands. Tina rubbed her back. Theo suggested to Audrey that they go for a walk round the block.

    Back in the waiting area Bette stretched out her long legs, put her hands behind her head, puffed out her cheeks and said, ‘Theo’s great, isn’t he?’

    Tina laughed. Bette gave her a sly, sidelong smile.

    ***

    ‘See ten minutes into the future or 150 years into the future?’

    Bette was reading ‘would you rather’ questions off her phone.

    Tina pondered, then said, ‘Ten minutes, I think.’

    ‘Really? You don’t think that would just be more of this?’

    ‘It would be now, but pretty soon it’s gonna mean I know whether we have a grandson or a granddaughter before you do.’

    Bette narrowed her eyes. ‘Sneaky . . .’ Then she went back to the phone. ‘Telekinesis or telepathy?’

    1. Awwww… Blockbuster chapter, Largo! B.R.A.V.A. It took an eternity for Bette and Tina to find what they were looking for and to find the right balance of courage, acceptance, surrender and open- heartedness to give in to that lovely kiss again. Wow, what a journey, what a lovely family and what a love story! Thank you so much for this feel-good, sunshiny chapter and this lovely story, Largo!❤

      • Hi mightymouse! *waves* Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I’m really delighted you enjoyed this chapter. Good things come to those who wait, right?? I got all gooey writing about that wee baby! Nice.

        Thank you gain for your support. It truly means a lot to me. Have a great week.

      • Hi Angel 1981! *waves* Thank you so much for reading my story and leaving a comment. :-)

        I wanted to write something in which B&T ‘fix’ themselves before they reunite. We’ll probably not get to see that on the show, but I think that’s one of the things fanfic can do, is let us explore things we don’t get to see. I liked using my imagination to try and work out how they might change.

        Your support is much appreciated. I’ll try and get the last chapter up at the weekend.

        Have a great day
        Largo

    3. OMG!!! You made me cry – that was so moving & it hit squarely in the middle of my chest – direct hit to my Tibette heart!!

      We’ve chatted at length about this story & gone up & down for the reasons why, but in the end – all that really mattered is family – their family. which is a little bigger now with a son in law, a brand spanning new baby boy & two other grandparents that could just be the right fit too.

      This chapter was well done as per your usual brilliance. As mightymouse stated – BRAVA!!!

      Bette & Tina path has been clouded, stressful, unclear & certainly long, but finally, FINALLY, they have made it back home to one another.

      I know you mentioned that you might also grace us once again with a possible continuation of The Real Tibette Watching GQ – but I sure wish you coulda, shoulda been on the writing team for GQ3 – hell all of GQ in its entirety!!!

      Thanks for all your effort in creating this nugget of perfection.

      As always, a simple thing in life – having the love of your life in your life is all that matters.

      Hears to Bette & Tina & forever!!!

      P.S. – five stars pal!!!

      • Hello Collins, my friend! *waves*

        Thank you for sticking with this story and for commenting so positively – that means a great deal to me. :-) Glad I made you cry, too, lol. I do think the end of this chapter might be the very sweetest thing I’ve ever written for B&T. I just LOVED this idea of them reintroducing themselves. When it popped into my head I just felt the emotion in it and knew it would work.

        I still have one more chapter to write. Might see if I can get that done today, in fact. Quite a dreich day here in Edinburgh (what else is knew, haha)

        Thanks for the 5 stars! That’s funny, in light of our convo. :-)

        Thanks for all your support and friendship – I promise I will catch up with DOH one of these days. Keep writing!
