“Thank you very much,” Tina said, looking from one to the next of them.
Kit set the bag down. “I’m just going to run on down to the nursery and get a look at the little guy,” she said, beaming like a proud aunt. She darted out of the room before Tina could say anything.
Bette was still standing at the foot of the bed. She, too held up something for Tina’s inspection: white tea roses in a small silver vase.
Tina tilted her head. “Aw, babe. You didn’t have to. Thank you.” Bette set them down on the bedside table and leaned over to kiss Tina on the side of her head.
Tina smiled and then looked down at Angelica, smoothing her hair. “I missed you sweetie. Did you miss mommy?”
Angelica nodded and leaned forward and gave her mother an awkward hug before slithering off the bed. Tina laughed. “It shows.”
Bette hoisted Angie into her arms and pulled a chair close to the bed, sitting down with Angelica in her lap. She took Tina’s hand. “Hey.”
“Hey.” They locked eyes for a few seconds. What was there to say?
“Mama, I want to get down,” Angelica whined, breaking the moment. Bette set Angelica down on the floor.
“So, how about if I go get him and bring him to you?”
Tina raised her eyebrows hopefully. “Would you? All they do is stonewall me whenever I ask for him. It’s like they always find some excuse.”
Bette frowned. “Really? Well I’ll put an end to that. You just wait here.” Bette laughed at herself. “I mean of course you’ll be here. Just… just hang on a minute.”
“Angelica, stop touching that and sit down,” Tina said in her no-nonsense voice. Angelica was busily messing with the clipboard chart thing at the foot of the bed. Angelica did as she was told, climbing into the chair and swinging her legs while she looked around.
Tina chatted with Angelica, asking her a series of ever more silly questions to make the little girl laugh and keep her entertained while keeping one eye on the door.
Soon Bette returned, cradling a tiny bundle in her arms. Kit was behind her, peering over Bette’s shoulder. The same nurse, Louise, trailed after them, pushing a wheeled bassinet and crib.

that was a very well written chapter..loved it..just awesome..anxious for the nxt chapter
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
