“So now you are asking me to choose this baby or to have children of my own using your sperm?”
“No I’m not asking you to choose Bette. I’m just saying that independent of this adoption I am willing to donate sperm to father your future children if you still desire me to do so. I am willing to sign over parental rights. If you adopt this baby and decide to have more children later you will have the option of using my sperm. If a pregnancy results then the kids would have the same father if that is what you want.”
“Marcus I don’t know what to say to this. We’ve talked about you being a sperm donor but I could never get you to commit. Now you’ve made a decision to have a vasectomy which means that unless we store the sperm in a Cryobank I no longer have the opportunity for you to father the children. Marcus have you really thought this through? I don’t mean donating sperm but getting a vasectomy is a huge decision Marcus. You’re still young. What if you meet someone later in life and decide that you do want to become a father?”
“I don’t think I will change my mind but if I do the procedure is reversible.”
“What if it doesn’t work? A successful reversal is not always guaranteed. Hell sometimes the vasectomy fails.”
“It’s a chance I’m willing to take Bette. Either way I’ve made up my mind.”
“It’s your life Marcus and I have to respect that. If you’ve made up your mind then I won’t try to talk you out of it.”
”Thank you. So what do you think about freezing the sperm?”
”I’ve always wanted more than one child so even if I do adopt this baby I will want the opportunity to have more children. I would love if they had the same father. It’s very possible I will be doing it on my own, so yes I would like for you to donate to the Cryobank.”
”So how do we go about it?”
”I would prefer if we could find a Cryobank in California since I anticipate that will always be my primary residence.”
“That’s fine. I have no problem going to California to do this. As a matter of fact Francesca and I talked about maybe having her give birth in California if you decided that you wanted to go through with the adoption. It might simplify the process for all of us.”

I love it. Now if Peggy agrees I can see Bette and Tina moving forward and start dating…..Question is how will she react to Bettes little family expansion……
Thank you for posting. Wonderful chapter. Pps
Moving along nicely but even if Bette and Tina are going to be in the same zip code nothing will come out of it right away…But this will at least give them a chance to connect more….Wonderful Chapter BAT2012!
Pie_Fair thank you for reading and commenting. I am enjoying your stories very much. I just wanted to reply to your statement that ‘nothing will come out of it right away’ even though Bette and Tina will be in the same zip code. Although Bette and Tina will be pursuing their own paths they are still progressing their friendship and building the foundation for the eventual relationship. Can’t promise they won’t have their ups and downs but if it’s worth having they will put in the work to make it happen.
And thank you for reading!..Very much appreciated..I do really love your story and see that Bette and Tina will progress slowly but I also like how you are writing Bette in this…Love the softer side of her and I am curious how she deals with the the assault that Jodi inflicted upon her as we haven’t seen that yet as the story advanced 2 years…I’m sure that might become an issue as she progresses into a relationship with Tina…Curious as to how and if you present that..But I’m along for the ride!..Thanks again BAT2012!
Bette’s assault by Jodi does come into play later in the story but not as a hindrance to having a healthy romantic/sexual relationship with Tina. Her therapy with Emma right after the attack and in the ensuing years has helped her to work through the emotional trauma.
I don’t want to give too much away (for those who haven’t read the story before) but Jodi’s psychosis will be the focus of the assault storyline when I pick it up again. I’m glad that you like my Bette. This is how I’ve always seen Bette and I usually write her with a lot of heart.
In order for this Bette and Tina coupling to work, Tina has to modify her life plans. At this point, she is physically attracted to Bette but nothing has occurred so right now it all seems so sterile, no panting, no sweating, no carnal desires have been revealed. Seems too much like an arrangement, all very platonic and business like. Looking forward to the next chapter.
azmama thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your insights. Unfortunately my style of writing Bette and Tina even in a romantic story (which this one is not) does not lend to panting, sweating and carnal desires except of course during the act. Sorry if the relationship feels too intellectual or like an arrangement – not sure how else a platonic relationship should be portrayed. I said this wasn’t typical TiBette – and to me that means they can be together in the same room without being naked. However if you stick with the story there is a conversation between Bette and Tina that talks to the ‘lack of passion’.
My view when including sex in a story agrees with something Peggy said at the end of season 5 talking about Bette and Tina and Helena and Leigh Ostin playing musical partners: “… all that fu**king with no art is really rather dreary.” I hope my stories offer enough of a plot line that the sex is significant when it happens.
Who is she calling? Tina I hope
Another great chapter. Love this story. Congratulations!
