Angelica nodded gravely, and Bette propped her up on the bed. Angelica leaned over and studied the baby’s face.
“Say hello,” Bette instructed.
“Hewwo,” Angelica said. The adults in the room “Awwed” in unison.
Tina smiled at Bette. This wasn’t a dream, this was real. Just over a year ago, she never would have thought it possible that she would be here, back with Bette and Angie as one family, holding her newborn child. But here she was. Bette smiled back, and Tina had to wonder if Bette was thinking the same thing. Their fates may have been completely different if they both hadn’t gone to SheBar that night. It seemed so long ago…
She was brought back into the present by Angie poking a questing finger toward the baby’s face.
“Not the eyes!” Tina cried, as Bette simultaneously steered Angelica’s hand out of the way.
“Don’t poke your baby brother, Angelica,” Bette said.
“Here, you can touch him, but very softly, okay? Give mommy your hand.” Tina took Angelica’s small hand in her own, folding Angie’s hand into a fist with the index finger pointing outward. She gingerly stroked Angelica’s finger along the baby’s cheek.
Angelica giggled in forbidden delight. “Soft,” she said.
Tina released Angie’s hand and looked at the little girl fondly. “Yes, sweetie, he is. You have to be very gentle with him because he’s so small, okay?”
Angelica nodded eagerly. The baby took no notice of these goings on, and looked around him quietly.
Tina looked at Angelica watching her brother a little wistfully. It wasn’t so long ago she was cradling her as a baby. She was growing up so fast. Too fast.
Bette caught Tina’s eye, looking a bit shy. “Can I hold him now?”
“Of course! Sorry, I wasn’t trying to bogart him.”
Bette held her arms out and Tina carefully passed their son over to his other mother. Bette studied him for a moment.
“You know T, he really doesn’t look like a Parker.”
Tina pushed another pillow behind her back. “No?” she asked, settling back. “What does he look like then?”
Bette checked the chair behind her before easing down into it. “I don’t know…” she looked him over critically. The baby made a small fussy noise.

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
