Dr. Wilson tilted her head sympathetically. “Of course, I’ll have one of the nurses bring him in.”
“Thanks.”
Tina’s flagging spirits were considerably restored by feeding Ethan and holding him as he fell asleep shortly after. It was nice to be bonding with him this way. It was new and yet familiar. She was still cradling Ethan, her mind a million miles away when a flash went off.
“Alice!” Helena scolded.
“Oh my gosh, isn’t he just so cute?” Jenny purred.
Alice, Helena and Jenny filed into the hospital room, clustering around the bed with a cooing chorus of approval.
Tina beamed. “Ladies, this is Ethan Wesley Kennard-Porter.”

Tina hopped out of the car and looked around. She was home, finally. Just when she had begun to despair that she would ever get out of the damned hospital, Dr. Wilson had come through with her discharge papers. She, Bette, and the baby had just pulled up at home. Angelica was inside with the nanny.
Bette was getting her bag out of the trunk, and already Tina was anticipating a long, hot shower to wash the rest of the hospital off of her. But first, she was looking forward to showing Ethan his home. It was a special moment.
“Wait here,” Bette said. “I want to get the video camera and film you bringing him inside, okay?”
Tina giggled. “Alright, we can wait.” She watched as Bette charged into the house with unlikely speed. Tina then opened the car door and set about removing Ethan from his car seat. He seemed to be in better spirits today, too. She could tell. He had probably hated being in the hospital as much as she had.
She lifted him carefully, arranging a blanket around him. The day was hot and bright, and the midday sun was beating down pretty fiercely. Tina partially covered the baby’s hatted head with the additional protection of the blanket, turning away from the sun. She shifted from foot to foot, wishing Bette would hurry up. The front door was still open, so she chanced calling inside.
“Babe, hurry up! It’s hot out here, and I don’t want the baby in the sun for too long.” Ethan made a fussy noise Tina decided to interpret as an agreement.

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
