    Author Notes:

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

    Tina threw open the front door. “I’m ho-oooome,” she said in a singsong voice, wanting to give everyone as much warning as possible that she was on the premises. “I’m putting down my bag! Now I’m going into the living room!” The house was ominously silent. They must be in the back yard.

    Tina ran her hands through her hair and fluffed it. She peeked out of the living room windows into the yard. There was no sign of anyone.

    She stepped back from the window, still tense and anticipating a shout of warm greeting, yet oddly deflated. She had been so sure when Alice had urged her to go to lunch, whatever it was Bette had been whispering about into the phone – which Tina had just assumed was a baby shower – was finally happening. This is weird.

    To satisfy her own curiosity, she opened each of the bedroom doors, checked the dining room, the kitchen and the study. By the time she’d finished this little perimeter sweep, she was feeling more than a little silly and more than a little annoyed at herself.

    Oh well. Tina changed clothes and lay down. She had enough time to take a nap before Angelica came home. She drifted off into fitful sleep, jumping at every noise, wondering if a laughing Kit was going to wake her and pull her by the arm downstairs where Bette and all their friends would be waiting. It wouldn’t matter that she was in her grubbies and her face puffy with sleep. She would be happy just to see everyone before the birth and the craziness that would follow made getting together with most of them impossible.

    Some time later, she was being roused from sleep. Tina groaned. Was the universe conspiring to keep her from napping? She opened her eyes to the sight of Bette looming over her. “Tina? Hey, are you awake?”

    Tina sat up warily. “Obviously not. Are they here?”

    Bette blanked her. “Who is ‘they,’ T?”

    Tina yawned. “Never mind. Help me up.”

    “Is everything alright?”

    Tina planted a big kiss on Bette’s lips. “Yep. Alice says hi.”

     

                                                                            ***

     

    Later on, Tina was pacing the length of the kitchen, which, granted, wasn’t a very large space, but she walked the same small lap over and over again. It was the wee hours of the morning, and for someone who always welcomed more sleep, she figured this would be the last thing anyone would be expecting her to be doing right then.

    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. :>
