    Author Notes:

    Chapter 46 & Finale

    ~~~

    The four of them descended on the house like a small, quiet swarm, greeting Bette with warm embraces but searching over her shoulder for a peek at the new addition.

     

    “They’re asleep,” Bette said, shrugging apologetically.

     

    “We want to see you, too,” Dana said, nodding unconvincingly.

     

    They came bearing gifts-and take out food-which, Alice insisted, made them much wiser than the three guys in crowns who’d gained fame visiting another new born.

     

    “Sit down and drink this,” Kit said, pressing a large coffee into Bette’s hands and looking into her face with concern. “You look”

     

    “You look like *****. When’s the last time you slept?” Alice asked, pulling diapers, baby wipes, and talcum powder out of a bag.

     

    “II’m” Bette stuttered, watching Dana get plates, glasses, and silverware together and begin serving the Thai food.

     

    “Come on,” Shane said, putting her hand on Bette’s shoulder and walking with her to the living room. “You’re going to want to stay out of that.”

     

    “Good idea,” Bette said, sinking into the couch and taking a deep swallow of coffee.

     

    “The other night,” Shane said, not quite looking at Bette. “You and Tina”

     

    “She was incredible, wasn’t she? I don’t know how she did it.”

     

    “She did it with you,” Shane said.

     

    Bette shook her head, opening her mouth to speak then closing it again. Finally, she said, softly, “I almost can’t believe that less than a year ago”

     

    “Hey,” Shane interrupted. “That doesn’t matter any more.”

     

    Bette wanted to argue, to insist that yes, it did matter. She wanted to explain that she would never forget the pain she’d caused, the struggle they’d been through, the invaluable lessons she’d learned. Or the extraordinary love she’d rediscovered. But instead she merely nodded and smiled, content to keep that knowledge safe in her heart.

     

    When she leaned forward to put her coffee on the table in front of her, Bette saw Tina walking down the hall, holding their baby.

     

    “Hey guys,” Tina said quietly, “look who’s finally here.”

     

    Bette watched as Dana, Alice, Shane, and Kit gathered around her wife and child, their faces softened by love, their hands reaching forward to tend and protect, their voices a muted chorus of oohs and aaahs. She knew in that instant that for the rest of her life, no matter what the future had in store, that she would be surrounded by these women, these tough, tender, exceptional women. And she was overwhelmed with gratitude.

     

    Tina looked up to meet Bette’s gaze, mouthing, “I love you.”

     

    “I love you, too” Bette replied, her eyes focused only on Tina’s face. “I love you so much.”

    2. juz got back from a trip….caught up with the 3 final chapters. you ARE amazing….seriously. you are! wow….breathtaking!!thx for this wonderful stories….

    3. AWWWW!!! Why is it that this pulled at my heart even more and felt more meaningful the second time around? I loved how Bette fell in love all over again, first with Tina and then with their baby girl…that’s how I feel about this story! Thanks so much! What’s next????

    10. That was the perfect way to end. Friends and family surrounded by love.

      I have enjoyed your story from beginning to end. Thank you for sharing it, and I look forward to any future stories that you might post.

    11. thank you doesnt cover it ffc. im truly in awe of your talent. am grateful you have other stories out there for us. buy dayum girl. please dont pull this. when im depressed by s3 or some storyline that is just killing me here, i want to know i can come by and have my heart healed. thank you for this gift.

    12. Where’s Shane’s line where she says Bette was ‘right there, in it with her”, or something to that effect. It was one of your best lines. Where did it go? I don’t recall Kit saying anything about them ‘needing to do it together” the first time either.

      It’s your story, of course, and you can’t help it if some of us have it memorized…

      Lovely, lovely, lovely story. One of the best ever posted on here. You took us from their breakup, through stormy territory, and back together again. And you concluded with Jordan’s birth. Lovely. Satisfying. Complete.

      Thank you.

    13. I’m so glad u brought this back. It was awesome the first time andit got better with age, I hope u have it in u to write another story about our girls and their adventures. Thanks for taking the time.

    14. There are some important and lovely things in my life I won’t never forget and I know your story wil be one of these things. Pour le bonheur que cette histoire m’a donné, merci.

    15. This a beautiful story from the first word to the last. You’ve told it all with great tenderness and economy of words, and you are a marvel. You deserve every accolade. Thank you for sharing your exceptional writing talents and your big ole bursting-at-the-seams romantic heart.

    16. I’m sorry I am so far behind; finally, a chance to read the last 8 chapters. Thank you for such a wonderful story. You did such a fabulous job from start to finish.

    17. I don’t know if you still read comments, and I can’t figure out how to send a private message, but I have to tell you that you really are the best Tibette writer I’ve ever read. I’ve just finished reading the whole thing, not all at once! but have really enjoyed it second time around. This birth was so beautiful and so much better than Ilene’s, with all her blessed drama! Thank you.

    20. Totally awe inspiringly amazing. I know we are coming to and end but can we and I mean all of your fans coax just a few more chapters out of you. Your writing is so awesome and this story just compliments it wondefully…Thanks

    26. Yes, I loved it both times. Excellent story and so well written. I’m sure I will revisit again some time down the road. I hope you find the time to write another. Thanks.

    34. “Also a special note of appreciation to those who revisited this story from the last time. It’s been a pleasure to share this with you again.” -FFC

      FFC, the pleasure is all ours, thanks! ;-)

    37. This has been one of my favourite things to read. You have the characters perfect, Alice has made me laugh just by being Alice, Shane just being Shane, and the growth of Bette and Tina individually and as a couple. This story has been beautiful from beginning to end. Thank you.

    38. Hey FFC Thank you that was so Beautiful Wonderful Story it’s been really enjoy reading Thanks for that great writing Story I hope the Sequel is coming or another Story LOL! I Love it again Thanks.

    43. Thank you for your story, just the right amount of love and angst…I’m sad that it’s over, but then happy because after a break, maybe another one???? We can never get enough of your writing..too easy to read!!!

    44. I have enjoyed this story from the beginning to the end. I looked forward every morning to waking up to a new chapter. I sincerely hope your not finished with this.

    50. hoped against hope that when i got on this morning that there’d be another one. so, crying in my coffee, no more comfort enough. like i said yesterday, ill revisit when in need my batteries rechared when the board becomes to unbearable and when the hell of s3 starts.

    52. thanks for posting this again – I didn’t catch it the 1st time. I read the whole thing in a matter of days – great – great -great. very nice and ‘comforting’ considering what we are probably in for in S3 :(

    54. Wow! :-O Can’t believe that this is the finale!! Though I am glad that I managed to catch up, but its quite sad to see it’s ending! Anyway… Thanks FFC for sharing this amazingly heart warming story! ^_^ glad I found this!! And am sure that this won’t be my only time reading it ;-) I know it’s been a long time from the day you posted these stories, I just hope you are fine and you’ll be back again :-)
