    Author Notes:

    As the pregnancy progresses, Tina’s in for more than one surprise…

     

                                                                            ***

    It was very quiet out here by the pool. Tina was reclined in the shade, sipping at pink lemonade and trying to read the Times. Normally she and Bette had a languid brunch at this hour, but Bette had gone out with Angelica early this morning.

    Tina didn’t mind the alone time, except that it was so unusually silent outside today for some reason. She didn’t even hear any birds nearby. Maybe a storm was rolling in or something. She absentmindedly stroked at her stomach and tried to focus on the article she was reading.

    She wasn’t much aware of how much time had passed until she heard a car pull up. She sat up a little and folded her paper, looking expectantly at the door. Bette didn’t come out, so she went back to her paper. Eventually she heard the door behind her open. She looked up at Bette with a welcoming smile.

    “Well, hello. Get your errands done?”

    Bette perched on the chair next to her and gave a quick nod. “I did, yeah. I picked up something for you.”

    Tina pushed herself up and swung her legs over the side of the chair so that her knees and Bette’s were almost touching. “You didn’t have to do that, but it was sweet of you nonetheless.”

    “I didn’t say it was from me; I said I picked it up.”

    “Oh,” Tina replied, a little deflated. “By the way, where’s Angelica?”

    “Napping,” Bette said. “Aren’t you going to ask to see it?”

    “See what?”

    Bette fished in her bag, pulling out a padded envelope. She handed it to Tina. “This.”

    “It’s probably just something from the office. Not a big de-“ Tina stopped short, frowning at the handwriting on the front of the envelope. She ripped it open with trembling hands. There was a letter inside. She unfolded it shakily and looked at the signature at the bottom to confirm her hopes.

    She read quickly, pausing to blink away the tears that occasionally obscured her vision.

     

    Dear Tina,

    I hope this letter finds you well. I know it’s been a long time. I suppose I could have called, but it seemed easier somehow to write. Getting in touch after all these years is more difficult than it would seem, but I bet you know that just as well as I do.

    2. That was really beautiful….I think B’s surprise even outdid the baby shower…from the letter, it sounds like T’s parents are no longer living though, is that the case? thx for the lovely update, looking forward to the next one :)

    3. Omalley, I think that you might have outdone yourself with this chapter! It was everything you could want in a story: humour, surprise, tenderness…it was magnificent!

    7. I loved how you put into words all that Tina has been going through while pregnant. I also loved how Bette went out made contact with Tina’s family. I can’t wait for the next post.

    9. wow… i’m all caught up… and i love this story… i remember how the hiccups feel… my sons had then too… so glad bette got a hold of someone from tina’s family… maybe now the rest will also want to meet with them… PPS

    11. AMAZING! I am so glad that Bette reached out to Aunt Leslie. I look forward to learning more about Tina’s family and roots as she reconnects with her family. I love that Alice made sure there was a baby shower, it was so fun. You’ve outdone yourself once again, BRILLIANT!

    12. That was so beautifully written you covered every one and every body. Now Tina has something for both Angie and the baby from her side of the family thanks

    16. I fourth the *WOW* of akalittered, beachlife and valenkat7. Really, *WOW!* I wanted to post a comment 2 chapters back but I didn’t have the time then. Well, I’m still pressed for time today, desperately trying to beat a deadline but I couldn’t resist dropping a few lines of appreciation for your very realistic, very moving, well-written Bette & Tina tale. I love this, omalley! I even went back to all your previous posts, the prequels, and I was really impressed. I rarely read a fanfic from Tina’s POV, so thank you for this! I get a kick out of reading her thoughts, her insecurities and seeing her character in all its complex, complicated, sometimes annoying but totally endearing glory. And in this story, the couple’s both very human: still working on their issues, still making amends for past mistakes, still trying to make the relationship work every freaking day. Yeah, every day’s seems a trial for them but their deep, abiding love for one another always shines through, always sees them through. Thank you for weaving this tale, omalley! Can’t wait for the next chapter. :>
