When Tina awoke, she was in a different room. It was very clean. Sunshine was streaming in the window. How did I get in here? She wondered. And where’s Bette?
The room was empty. Tina felt strangely lonely. She pressed the green bedside button the nurse had told her about yesterday. It wasn’t long before a cheerful nurse bustled into the room.
“Good morning!” she chirped.
Tina wasn’t really in the mood.
“Where’s my baby? Can you bring him to me? And where’s my partner? You may have seen her around here, her name is Bette…”
“Your baby is in the nursery, ma’am. I’ll bring him in to you shortly, but first Dr. Wilson is going to give you a brief examination. I’m not sure about your partner, ma’am, but then I just got here not 15 minutes ago. I’ll see what’s happening out there. Just hang tight.”
The nurse was all smiles, which inexplicably annoyed Tina, who didn’t smile back. She glared at the nurse’s back, feeling bratty and unapologetic. She wanted to see her baby and was surprised by how much she already missed him. She thought of his serious little face. She wanted to see if she could coax a smile out of him, knowing that at such a young age, it probably wouldn’t happen. Still, she wanted to try, and she wanted Bette there with her when she did. Tina looked at the door impatiently. Where was the nurse?
After five more minutes of waiting, Tina pushed the covers back and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She was sore and still tired to her bones. She was looking at the floor, lost in thought, trying to figure out if she could stand or not. She wondered if her legs could hold her up.
“Tina?”
She looked to the door. Dr. Wilson was there, frowning slightly before giving her a reproving smile. “You shouldn’t be out of bed.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m okay. Just tired.”
Dr. Wilson was still smiling. Why was everyone in this hospital so damned cheery? “I’d love to take your word for it, but I’d like to check a few things first if you don’t mind.”

So good. Is Angie going to be jealous? And did I miss some foundational B&T issues here or are B&T finally fully in sync now?
I’ve never read 25 pages before, but it was so exciting I couldn’t stop!
Just great!
Very sweet to give T & B some nice new family members!
Wow!! This was long, I mean 25 pages wow, but was so good, I just love it and Tina ohhh god.PPS
I so loved it!!!! I do hope that this was not the end of this wonderful sotry. Omalley, having Tina yelling at Bette was so funny. Thanks PPVS
Baby Ethan has made his presence know to the world and in a safe manner. Finally, we are getting to see someone from Tina’s side of the family come to her. I love Ethan’s name and am happy that the birth went smoothly.
Marvelous chapter!

hehhehehhehehhe…….. that was hilarious.. gr8 chapter.. post SOOOOONN plz.. i hope i’m 1st
That was great! I could totally imagine Tina yelling at Bette when she was having the baby! Can’t wait to see what happens next! PPS:)
Where have you been all my life. That was the truly the best ff I’ve read in a long, long time. You’ve got labor and delivery down perfectly. All that Tina went through and all that grumpiness is EXACTLY how it is. Did you just have a baby> Bette and Tina’s interactions seemed so real and so delightful. And you write so well.A very grateful reader. Thank you.
wow, that was like a trip down memory lane for me…especially tina getting all shitty with bette during the birth and not wanting to push…hilarious!!! and the wanting to get out of the hospital asap; i did what tina did pushed them to let me go…funny bette falling over but sad the camera broke…and i’m watching an old movie, ‘Breakfast in Hollywood’, hilarious stuff. loving the story, pps.
Whew, you scared me with the summary, omalley. I was wary as I clicked on each page, fearing another unexpected tough dramatic test for Tina & Bette. Thank God it was just the long, agonizing birthing process! Tina’s still testy but she and Bette really seem happy and content, for a change. Thank you for this 25-page gem, omalley! Please don’t stay away too long again. :>
This was *brilliant*. I loved the whole thing, from the Planet to the hospital (loved that labor scene) to the end and Aunt Leslie’s sage advice. You got some of everything in here, and I love the humor. Thanks so much for the post, I loved it. Post soon!
I so hope this is not the end. I love how you write B&T. Their dialog is so realistic. I loved Tina’s behavior during the birth–poor Bette couldn’t catch a break :). Thanks for the post, hope to see you soon.
Bringing up the rear…the wait was more than worth it! Had to read in shifts since I kept getting interrupted. I could visualize everything you wrote–the tone, the expressions. All the characters are true to form. And we finally meet a member of Tina’s family and get an explanation about her folks! This was soo good! Don’t let the length lull you into thinking you can take a break from posting! Ethan…sweet!
All the while reading I was smiling and holding back tears, so well written and enjoyable.
“Helena, what are you doing?”
Helena looked up, guiltily. “I was looking for my nail file. It’s the sharpest thing I have.”
Tina stared at her.
“You know… to cut the umbilical cord with.”
Oh, hell no. Tina smiled at Helena. “Helena? If you don’t stop what you’re doing right now, I’ll take my own nail file, and stab you with it.”
Hahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahaahahhaahahahah rotflmao
