    Author Notes:

    Drama at work makes Tina question her role at home.

    Tina took a pillow and thwapped Bette with it, making Bette emit an uncharacteristic squeal and scoot out of her reach.

    Tina turned the tv back on and switched it over to Maury, the greatest trash-talk tv show around. Tina never watched shows like this before, but now that she was home more often during the day, she found herself getting addicted to her latest guilty pleasure. The paternity test episodes were her favorite.

    She could feel Bette hovering behind her for a moment more, wanting to say something but unsure which approach to take. Tina could have sat up and faced her and said something reassuring, but she didn’t. How could she promise that she was fine when she knew that wasn’t true, and she didn’t dare articulate what she was feeling, even to herself? It wasn’t worth dragging Bette into it. She would only worry. Tina resolutely stared at the screen until Bette moved away and left her alone. Tina breathed a sigh of relief.

    ***

    Tina shifted uneasily in the chair, blinking away the tiny green dots in her vision caused by the overhead stage lights glaring in her eyes. Row after row of rough-looking people were staring at her. She scanned the crowd nervously, looking for one friendly face. Some of the men were leering at her boobs, some of the women were looking at her sympathetically, some of each gender were sneering at her. She could tell that they were judging her, every one of them. Tina had never had stage fright and she wasn’t a shy person, but she hated that so many people were looking at her. She was clothed but she felt as horribly exposed, as if she were naked in this room full of cruel, closed faces.

    “Tina!” A voice boomed out. Funny, she hadn’t been aware that there was anyone next to her.

    1. well since you said “fast food” fish taco, i fear tina made the wrong choice in dining establishments, apparently she doesn’t know the deliciousness that is rubio’s!? mmm, i’m getting hungry just thinking about it….thx for this & pps

    4. Great chapter, O’Malley! Vis-a-vis Maury, I must confess, I lost all respect for Connie Chung once I found out she was married to him. All their embarassing over-sharing about their attempts to get pregnant just turned me off!Did you know that Maury was once a respected serious journalist, the son of a very good sportswriter? And Jerry Springer was once the mayor of Cincinnatti? Well, sex sells, somewhere. Loved this chapter. The ambiguity that Tina feels and expresses is real. Thanks for showing that pregnancy is not all sunshine and roses. I want a burrito!

    12. Way to go, Kennard! Loved the whole taco-purple-stomachache thing, it got me laughing hard. As for the pregnancy-job thing, well, life is not all about roses. Love your insight and the way you write :)

    14. Hilarious…I got hooked on Days of Our Lives, well, one actress actually…when I was pregnant many moons ago & like Tina I couldn’t wait to get back to work either even though I adored my baby. Great omalley. I needed a good laugh. PPS.

    15. Maury Povich–love how you got down pat his alleged hug that is really a death grip to keep the guest from runing off stage. And–since YOU brought it up–have you ever wondered if the women with dozens of potential baby daddies just want multiple trips to NYC and are probably getting guys to pay her $50 to be named so they could get a trip to NY, too? OK, OK. No more tabloid TV talk. Loved the chapter. Thanks for giving us Tina’s spin on the work vs. home dilemma. Oh and uh–could you maybe, just maybe, only if you want to of course, but you might want to consider–Bette on Rachel Ray. Bette’s head spinning in circles as she tries to figure out what is going on as RR changes subjects with every sentnce, and Bette desperately trying to ge a word in. Good times.

    16. What a great story and great interactions between B and T. This is so carefully written and cleverly crafted. The small dramas of everyday relationships writ large and meaningful. I’m really impressed AND best of all really AMUSED. Thank you.
