Aunt Leslie met her in a hug, squeezing her hard, and giving her back two quick pats before releasing her. They both moved inside, while Aunt Leslie looked around the foyer and let out a low whistle. “Nice, very nice.”
Tina smiled awkwardly. “Ehm, thanks. Won’t you come into the living room?”
Tina led the way wondering what to say. It felt a bit surreal to her. She hadn’t seen Aunt Leslie since she left home all those years ago. It was another world. Another Tina.
“What a beautiful room, Christina!” Don’t call me that, Aunt Leslie. I don’t want to go back there.
Tina gestured to the sofa. “Please have a seat. Can I get you something to drink?”
“No, I’m fine. Come on over here at let me look at you.”
Tina timidly stepped over to where Aunt Leslie was sitting for inspection. The spry, thin lady gave her the once over.
“You sure don’t look like you just had a baby.”
Tina smirked. “My boobs aren’t this big, trust me. I appreciate the compliment, though.”
“Sit down here, girl,” Aunt Leslie pulled Tina down on the couch beside her. “You act like you don’t want me here.”
“Oh no – of course I do. I was just taken by surprise to see you, is all. And just seeing you like this is strange. You’ve changed, Aunt.”
Aunt Leslie crossed her arms. “We-ellll, I keep myself busy, you know. I went on that Weight Watchers, oh, ’bout 6 years back and just lost it all. I guess now it’s my turn to thank you for the compliment… if that’s what it was.”
“It was,” Tina returned. They chatted for awhile about Leslie’s trip to LA, how obnoxious everyone in the airport had been, and the trial Tina’s aunt had had in trying to rent a car and find her way to Tina’s house. As they spoke, she was relieved to find that they had fallen into the easy kind of banter she remembered from the old days. Some of their phone conversations had been rather stilted, and all of them were short. Actually being here with Aunt Leslie put Tina at ease; the old cadence of their patter was as familiar as her girlhood bedroom.

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
