    Author Notes:

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

    “I was just telling Tina how wonderful she looks. Pregnant women are so gorgeous,” Helena gushed to Bette. “I remember the last time she was pregnant, she had that same glow about her…”

    “Yes,” Bette interrupted. “She looks beautiful.” Bette punctuated the statement with a firm kiss and a faintly challenging smile at Helena. Why did Tina immediately feel like a bit of territory that had just been marked? She smiled into her coffee cup. She liked that Bette could still get jealous, the ridiculousness of such a sentiment notwithstanding.

    After a few minutes of easy chatter, Bette got up to go, kissing Tina goodbye. Tina settled back with a sigh.

    “So what’s up with Bette?” Helena asked without preamble.

    “Oh, nothing,” Tina said breezily. She guessed that Helena had picked up on Bette’s possessiveness this morning. Tina knew that Bette probably didn’t appreciate any allusion to Tina’s other pregnancy and the fact that Helena had been a bigger part of it than Bette had.

    “We’ve both been running around like mad these last few weeks, we’ve barely had a chance to breathe,” Tina continued.

    “Well darling, you should look into getting some professional help,” Helena mock scolded her.

    “Oh, I am,” Tina assured her. “I’ve been interviewing for a nanny position. We’ve simply got to have some help, and hopefully I can convince Bette-“

    “Wait, you mean you haven’t told Bette about this yet?” Alice interjected. “I wondered. She never seemed too keen on the idea of hiring anyone to help look after Angie.”

    “I don’t believe in nannies.” Jenny said solemnly.

    “They aren’t unicorns, Jen. Nannies really do exist!” Alice said, dripping sarcasm.

    “I just think children should be with their parents as much as possible,” Jenny said with a shrug, sipping at her tea. “But I’m hardly the expert you are, Alice.” Jenny narrowed her eyes at Alice over the edge of her cup and then set it down, smiling sweetly.

    Alice rolled her eyes and turned back to Tina. “You really need to talk to Bette. She’s not going to appreciate you not including her in this decision.”

    “Yes, take a cue from Alice, Tina. She never hides anything from Tasha,” Jenny said, twisting the knife.

    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.
