    Author Notes:

    Unbeknownst to Bette, Tina’s search for a nanny continues… with a little help from a friend.

    “Just level with me,” Bette coaxed.

    “Angelica’s potential new nanny,” Tina said, her voice breaking high as though it were a question.

    “New what?”

    “Nanny. Potentially. Maybe. Probably? Yeah. Angelica’s, and the baby’s, new nanny.” Tina patted her stomach for emphasis.

    Bette pinched the bridge of her nose. And squeezed her eyes shut, muttering something Tina couldn’t make out.

    “What was that, babe? I couldn’t quite hear you.” Tina said, maintaining a cheerful exterior but steeling herself for the battle she knew was finally coming.

    Bette sighed. “Nothing, T. I’m going to change and start dinner.”

    And with that she turned on her heel and left Tina standing open-mouthed in the foyer.

     

                                                                            ***

     

    It was quiet in the dining room, except for the intermittent scrape of forks on plates and Angelica’s noisy eating.

    Tina considered a dozen different gambits to start some kind of conversation, but she couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t completely lame. She couldn’t read Bette. She appeared to be calmly eating dinner but Tina was wary of the façade. Nine times out of ten, Bette would rather avoid conflict rather than talk it out. Tina wondered if she should leave it alone for now and let Bette come to terms with it on her own. Then she wouldn’t have to do any persuading. It was only common sense, anyway. They were both so busy, and it wouldn’t do to have Kit picking up their slack anymore. Bette couldn’t seriously object, could she?

    Tina’s heart sank as Helena’s suggestion slithered around her mind. What if it was true? What if Bette didn’t trust them enough, trust herself or Tina enough to let someone else into their lives?

    But that was ridiculous, Tina thought, unconsciously pushing a spinach leaf around on her plate with her fork. They were solid. And just because freaking Angus couldn’t keep it in his pants didn’t mean that they would fall victim to the same thing. Tina and Bette had been totally united in their condemnation of Angus, and they still were. Thinking about everyone she had seen and thought about hiring, it seemed even more ludicrous that any of them were potential homewreckers. If Bette was scared, then meeting the potential nannies and seeing them face-to-face should put all that to rest. None of them were even lesbian, as far as she knew.

    5. So happy tht Tina finally talked with Bette as she should have done ages ago regarding the nanny. I wonder if Bette is really just afraid that someone might not be good to the children or did she have a bad experience with a nanny as a child? Interesting. But at least they have come to an understanding of it and know they can not do it all, it’s impossible. It’s not like they can not afford to hire a nanny. Another thing that bothers me about this pregnancy is tht Tina is “tired” so early in this pregnancy. Are vitamins in order or something else that keeps her energy up, pray that nothing is wrong with her already. She needs to see the doctor for that rundown feeling. Great chapter. PPS

    6. It’s like Hels was channeling Alice and Jenny both while she “helped” Tina during that interview, but the f-me pumps… that’s all Helena. As for Tina… girl, you’ve gotta learn to give Bette a chance to screw up first, she might surprise you by not doing it! Love the story, more soon, please! Thanks

    9. I am glad that Tina saw what she was doing even though it did take a disagreement to get the point across. And Bette is being a responsible parent in wanting the best for her children now she just needs to find a way to get that while allowing someone to help them. So glad that the girls made up and ended the day in a OH SO HAPPY way. :)

    10. I loved the beginning (the morning in the shower) and the end (bedtime). The middle was funny but scary at the same time. Helena sure knows how to scare someone. I loved how Mrs. E stood up to her.

    11. I thought that was a charming chapter and I’m still laughing at Helena’s interviewing techniques. “Are you attracted to Tina, Ms. Epstein?” But I’m glad Tina moved forward in getting some help…however misguided her efforts. Trying to do everything can really wreck a relationship.
