In spite of her annoyance, Tina felt warmed by Bette’s concern for her. “Bette, I’m fine. I feel fine. I’m just catching up on my sleep. You remember how tired I used to get when I was pregnant before.”
“I know,” Bette said, crouching down at eye-level next to Tina’s chair. “But I don’t think this is normal. I want you to see Dr. Wilson.”
Tina smiled at her sleepily. “I’m already way ahead of you, Porter. I got my appointment moved to tomorrow. We’re going to find out the sex of the baby. Care to come along?”
Bette squeezed her hand. “It’s a date.”
***
Tina was thankful the first part of her examination was over. No matter how many exams she went through, she hated the stirrups. Dr. Wilson had taken some blood to be tested, but didn’t think there was much wrong in Tina’s constant napping of late. Being pregnant at her age and activity level was bound to tire her in the earlier months, until her body – or Tina – adjusted. Tina promised that she would be lightening her work load soon and taking it easy. Trying to get everything in order before she went on leave was taking its toll.
Now it was time for her sonogram. Bette was right there next to her, holding her hand. Tina couldn’t help thinking back to the last time they were together looking at a sonogram. Things had changed so much between them, for the better.
Tina could scarcely breathe and Dr. Wilson prepped her, covering her stomach with cold gel that sent a shiver up her spine. Bette squeezed her hand a little tighter as they looked at the monitor in front of them.
They waited breathlessly for Dr. Wilson’s verdict as she showed them the baby’s beating heart, small fingers, toes.
“Congratulations, ladies. You’re having a boy!”
Tina erupted into a joyful giggle. She turned and looked at Bette, or at least her eyes’ fuzzy approximation of Bette, blurred as it was by Tina’s tears.
“We’re having a son!”
Bette’s face crinkled into a teary smile. “We’re having a son,” she repeated. They both turned and looked at the monitor again.

(Satified sigh.) You manage a perfect blend of sweet and sour. Thanks for another great read.
I so love these two.
Love the banter; what is OCD? & I love me some Mary-Louise Parker but ‘parker’ could lead to many cruel jokes by mean school kids-as they do. PPS

Don’t know if I’ve mentioned it yet, but I love the way you write these two. I enjoy every chapter. Thanks
Parker is a cool name. I was thinking as I was reading this story, ummmm, what name would Bette like. Maybe Ashton, Kai, Caleb, Collin, Keaton and I could go on and on. My choices, Kai, Ashton, Parker, and Keaton in that order., But most of all I love this story.
I love this fic! You have Tina and Bette’s mannerisms down to a tee! PPS!
Bette and Tina are such characters. It’s interesting just having the day in the life type interactions without serious drama. Parker sounds like a great name to me and it seems that it is growing on both Bette and Tina. :)
Tibette is just one big headache but in the most cutest and precious way *sigh*
