    Author Notes:

    Tina tries to distract herself as the birth date looms… Bette “helps”, as only Bette can.

    “Of course!” The man stepped forward, all solicitous in manner now, all trace of wariness gone. “If you’ll just be seated over there,” he paused and gestured to backless, leather-cushioned benches lined up on the opposing wall. “I’ll be with you in just a few moments. I’m in the midst of closing a deal for an amazing sculpture.” He smiled at Tina. “You know how it is.”

    She actually did, but Tina said nothing in return and only smiled back at him, then sat down as he’d asked. She lifted Angelica, who was taking in her surroundings with the palpable disinterest of a bitter teenager, onto the seat beside her. Tina rifled through her purse, looking for something to entertain Angelica with and marvelling that her baby girl could affect such boredom at the tender age of three, when she detected a sudden change in Angelica’s manner. She was excited, gesturing at something erratically.

    “What is it, sweetie?” Tina looked up in the direction of Angie’s gesturing. She blinked twice, taking in the sight before her.

    “Jodi!”

    Angelica slithered off her seat and and scrambled over to Jodi, clasping her around the knees. Tina was too stunned to move. Not that she would have followed suit and embraced Jodi as Angelica had, anyway.

    Jodi looked shocked herself, looking down at Angelica with a confused expression. She patted the little girl on top of the head absently. She looked at Tina once more, taking in her pregnant figure with an inscrutable little smile. Was she sad? Mocking her? Tina couldn’t tell.

    Jodi signed something to Angelica, who watched with a furrowed brow, trying to understand. A man appeared behind Jodi, and Tina guessed this must be her interpreter. Tina wondered idly what had happened to Tom. He nodded at Tina with a friendly smile.

    Jodi gently removed herself from Angie’s stubborn little arms. She looked Tina in the eye, signing rapidly.

    “I’m really surprised she remembers me after so long,” the man piped up, helpfully.

    Tina offered a sick smile, her mind racing for an appropriate response. She hated Jodi for the way she had humiliated Bette all those months ago, yet Tina still felt guilty in her presence. She had been the “other woman”. Tina supposed it was something that would never really go away, no matter how much time had passed.

    1. Good to see you back. You captured the stress of pregnancy perfectly. I feel bad for Tina that she feels so unsettled and overwhelmed and for Bette because she is trying to do/say the right thing. Please don’t be gone too long–can’t wait for the birth :)

    2. Tina wont be ptrgnany for ever. so if I was Jodie I would be really be careful around Tina and her family Just hope that all goes well with Tina. thanks for posting

    3. So, will we see a Jodi/Tina showdown in this story…I think we will. Tina has nothing to apologize for. Bette was paid back in full by Jodi for her “indiscretion”. I hope Tina can shake that guilt before they meet again. Well Omalley we had to wait for it, but it was a wonderful update!

    5. Mah-velous! Simply, MAH-velous! I can hardly believe it’s only been seven chapters! You capture that frightened anticipation of impending birth perfectly! Bette is being a real sport, suppressing her anal retentive side. Loved your sentence about Bette being narcissistic! Perhaps you are outlining a possible role for MM to play for her “wrap up” two episodes in S6. For the life of me, I cannot see what is left for her to do. You present a plausible solution. Looking forward to your next chapter, whenever you find the time to post! Thanks!

    6. Fantastic writing! You portray the varied emotions so well. I think Tina is right to have a sense of foreboding where Jodi is concerned and that worries me.

    8. What a way to break your silence, omalley! Welcome back! Again, I’m amazed at the raw, naked and true emotions that your writing evoke. I can literally feel the rough edges of Tina’s conflicting emotions. It’s like she’s navigating through an inner minefield. Hormones can truly be a b*tch. I love your realistic portrayal of Bette & Tina and their relationship. You can see them struggling with their flaws, yet their love for each other prevails, time and time again. Loved Tina’s gift, the return of the Kiki print. Yep, they’ve really come full circle. Loved the packing of Bette’s soiled T-shirt and bra and their playful banter. That’s truly sweet. Many thanks for this update, omalley! Hope it won’t take you long to post again. :>

    9. I’ve been impatiently waiting for an update, and this was definitely worth it! Yeah…I think Tina is gonna have a smackdown with Jodi, and the birth will have its own drama. Whatever it is you write, I’ll be there to read! PPVS!

    10. Wow T is a hormonal mess or is it mass? I remember but in those days no one bothered to explain it to me…seems like another lifetime when Dr’s were ‘still’ the experts on womens bodies and we did as we were told. When I look back, I wonder how I/We survived much of their stuff. Now, Jodi, well irredeemable is how I’d put it: Jodi just doesn’t get ‘Bette & Tina’…it’s got nothing to do with core values, well not really; its pure karma imo. Best T just forgets about Jodi. Now Bette doing all that fixing up is just her version of T packing/repacking that bag: they are both scared of this birthing event imo. But of course alphabette is not going to say that. She’s reverted to being ‘strong’ for Tina’s sake.I thought the old man’s observations were ‘spot on’ Imagine T with 2 active kids like Ange was behaving. A quiet quiet [and she is quiet] would be a blessing to her. Ange is more Bette’s image. Porter Kennard (Parker reminds me of the butler to Lady Penelope, not a nice image) should be quiet and a reflection of his mommy T. Love the story.

    12. Welcome back and thank you for the update. I feel bad for Tina and understand Bette’s desire to be there for her. Having jodi be in the same place with Tina was unsettling. I bet Tom ran off with Max. Still dislike jodi and I love Tina’s attitude throughout the encounter with her.

    19. This is so good, so very good. Tina’s emotional surges are so realistic, and Bette’s efficiency as she tries to deal with it all is spot on. I’d like to see Jodi get one of Tina’s hormonal backlashes… I don’t think ol’ Jodes could handle it! I’m so pleased you’ve posted, don’t be away too long. Thanks :)

    20. Jodi just killed the story argh, girl get your bitter ass on somewhere, Bette didnt want you so get over it…and how sweet for Tina to retrieve the KIki smith it was sad when Bette had to give them up on the show
