    Author Notes:

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

    “Babe, it’s amazing. I love it! Everything is so beautiful!” Little tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, and she threw her arms around Bette, momentarily knocking them both off-balance. Bette returned her embrace and pulled back, looking pleased. “You really like it?”

    “Yes, I really do. How could I not!”

    “I’m so glad. I wanted to make a beautiful space for you and the baby.”

    “Babe, this is your space, too. Don’t be silly. Unless you’re hinting that you’re not going to be on point with changing his diapers, in which case you’ve got a surprise coming.”

    “Oh, stop. Tease.”

    Tina cocked an eyebrow. “I never tease. I make promises. Like this…” She laid a lingering kiss on Bette, “… is a promise of what’s to come.”

    “Hmm. Hopefully sooner, rather than later.”

    “Yes, later.” Tina went over to the crib and poked at the mobile. She ran her hands over the bassinette that had been Angelica’s, which they would probably keep in their own bedroom for the first month. The shelves under the diaper changing area were already completely stocked with all the necessary things. She opened one of the small drawers at the dresser. It was filled with onesies in infant size. She had to admit, Bette never skimped on the details. Everything was perfect.

    But Tina knew that it wasn’t just for appearances or because it was Bette’s nature to do everything just so. Her precision in thought and detail, making sure everything met her impossible standards, would seem like the manifestation of a control freak nature to some people, but Tina understood Bette in a way that no one else did. She understood that this was the way Bette showed her love – by doing all she could to give the people she loved the best of everything. And Tina loved her in return for it. 

    “You’ve really outdone yourself this time, Mama B.”

    Bette shrugged as if it were nothing. “Well, you know…”

    Tina tilted her head slightly and smiled as Bette smoothed an imaginary wrinkle on the soft-looking quilt draped artfully over the base of the crib. Yes, Bette. I do know. I know you, and I love you back, just as much. Probably more.

    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. :>
