“You told me you wanted to go into work tomorrow and tie up loose ends. The night is still young, you can get some decent sleep at home.”
Bette yawned. “Fine, then. I’ll go home. I want to see the munchkin anyway. I’m going to have a peek in at the baby before I go.”
“Are you okay to drive?”
Bette gave a quick nod and kissed Tina lingeringly. “I’ll be back tomorrow around lunch time, okay?”
Her face was still close to Tina’s, and Tina held Bette’s face in her hand for a moment. “Alright. See you tomorrow. Sleep well.”
Bette grabbed her purse and gave Tina a cute wave from the doorway. She was gone again.
Tina switched off the tv and rolled over on her side. As she drifted off to sleep, she made plans to take Ethan home. She hoped she could be discharged tomorrow. She’d have to ask Dr. Wilson. If Dr. Wilson said no, she’d just have to insist on it.

“So, can I leave? Today?”
Dr. Wilson looked up from the notes she was taking on a clipboard and looked over the top of her glasses at Tina. Tina felt a little sheepish but stood her ground.
“I feel fine. Really. I can rest just as well at home. And nothing against the food or the facilities here, but I’m dying for a decent meal and my own bed.”
Dr. Wilson returned to her notes without saying anything. Tina was exasperated. “Do you see anything wrong with me on that chart?”
“It’s our policy to have new mothers stay with us for at least two days after birth, Tina. You’ve only just started your second day.”
“This is ridiculous, Dr. Wilson! I’m fine! I feel great! I want to take my baby home.” Tina’s voice sounded warbly to her own ears. Great.Stupid hormones.
Dr. Wilson smiled at her politely. “I’m sure I understand that, Tina. But our policy is in your best interest, trust me. If you insist, I’ll let you go, but it will be against my judgment as your doctor. The risk of infection is-”
Tina held up her hand. “It’s okay, Doctor. I’ll stay, no big deal.” Tina looked around the room miserably. “Can I see my baby now?”

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
