“Do you really think you’ll be able to have six weeks off once the baby is born?” Tina asked, getting out of the car.
“It’s already taken care of. I’m going to check in with James once a day by phone, he’ll have important papers couriered to the house, and there’s always email,” Bette shrugged, taking Tina’s hand as they made their way up the front walk. “They can get along without me for a while. It’ll be like a vacation for them.”
“Are you sure?”
“T. You and our baby are my top priority,” Bette said, stopping outside the front door to rest her hands on her skeptical wife’s shoulders.
“Thank you,” Tina said quietly, putting her arm around Bette’s waist.
“For what?”
“Justfor everything. It means so much that you want to be here.”
“Of course I want to be here,” Bette smiled, stroking Tina’s cheek gently. “I’m not going to be an absentee parent, Tina. Our child is going to have two equally invested, equally involved mothers. God help the poor thing.”
Bette slipped her key in the front door lock and walked into the house with Tina close behind. What awaited them caused them both to stop abruptly in their tracks. Sitting in the living room were Kit, Shane, Alice, and Dana, the smiles on their faces almost as bright as the candles flickering all around them.
“We were going to yell, ‘Surprise!’, but we were afraid the shock would make Tina go into labor,” Alice said, getting up to greet their guests of honor. “Come on in and sit down, right over here.”
Alice took Tina by the arm and led her and Bette to the couch. Once they were seated, Alice handed them each a champagne flute.
“It’s only sparkling cider so you can drink it,” Dana assured Tina.
“Whatwhat is this all about?” Tina asked.
“We knew that you didn’t want a traditional baby shower. But come on. Did you really think we weren’t going to do anything? This kid iswellit’s part of our family,” Alice said.
“And after everything that you two have been through to get here, to get this far? Well, that’s a lot to celebrate,” Kit said.

I agree with nanc and G2104. Lovely, just lovely, that last line gave me goose bumps. They have been through hell and back, let hope IC gives them a break. Angelica has no idea how special the group of women are that will surround her and love her, she’s one very lucky little girl. And her mommies aren’t bad either.
loved this. Happy ending are the very best. thanks
Ok, I confess. I do read other stories and make it a point to click on yours when I know I need that divine moment of comfort and peace. And, you deliver it everytime so perfectly…
That was the sweetest celebration, thrown by the sweetest friends and family. Everything is coming around full circle. Nicely done!
This was just beautiful. Thank you – more…please?
we all need friends like this…thanks for the post
This is one of the best fics I have been reading so far… and I dont really read any fics other then Sharmen ones. But I love this story, keep it up.
Yeah I love happy endings!!!! Although I dont always want them in my fanfic…..
Excellent as always. Thanks FFC. Give me happy feelings any day of the week. Real life has more than enough chaos. for me.
aww yay lol tinkerbell niiice lol than byeness<33
“Thank you for believing in us,”
They should end every episode of TLW with this phrase.
I love this story. I just hope S3 brings happy moments for Bette and Tina. They actually do need to have a baby shower coz they haven’t had one for Angelica yet, hopefully we’ll get to see one. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
“Thank you for believing in us,”
They should end every episode of TLW with this phrase.
NANC – great idea
SLIPPERYNIPPLE – why on earth would you not want happy endings. did someone kick your dog. lol
ffc – gawd girl, i m sitting here crying in my coffee. after lastkid last night to wake up to this masterpiece, is overwhelming. im not saying anything about her writing. dont want people to get the wrong idea. hers is just so intensly painful i want to shoot myself. this, i want to do happy dances and give hugs and kisses to every and all i see. this story has it all. this is the best way to start my day. *sigh*
What a sweet, funny chapter. The “mysterious gender-neutral child” made me laugh. As usual, the dialogue fit each character’s personality just right.
Thank you FFC for making my heart DANCE….. I will truly miss this story…missing it already.
the others said everything youre brilliant nad the last phrase “thank you for believing in us,” so beautiful…ok i dont have words to say how much i love your story i just have to thank you.. :o)
