“…So since you said that I should come and see you any old time, that’s what I decided to do. I was aimin’ on bein’ here for the birth, but he came ‘long before I could get my plans made.”
“You should see him. He’s cuter than any baby has a right to be, Aunt Leslie. And his eyes! Very unusual. I think he may be sleeping now, but don’t you worry, he never stays asleep for long. In the meantime you can meet Angelica. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll bring her and Bette down to meet you.”
Aunt Leslie nodded with a smile and settled back into the plush cushions of the couch to wait. Tina scurried out of the room, hoping that Bette and Angelica would pass muster. She did so want everyone to get along.
Tina peered around the nursery room door. Bette was rocking in the chair with Ethan, who was apparently asleep. Bette looked up and pressed her finger to her lips. Tina silently grabbed Angelica’s hand and coaxed her out of the room. She turned around and met Bette’s eyes and pointed downstairs. Bette nodded.
“Angelica, do you want to meet your Aunt?”
Angelica didn’t answer, probably not aware that it was okay to speak after being ordered to silence in the nursery. She obediently followed Tina into the living room.
“Aunt Leslie, this is Angelica. Say hello, sweetheart.”
Angelica shook her head and hid behind Tina’s legs. Tina chucked nervously and tried to pry Angelica’s arms from the death grip they had on her knee.
“She’s not usually shy with new people, I don’t understand…”
Aunt Leslie raised an eyebrow. “Angelica Kennard-Porter, come out from behind your mama’s legs, and I’ll give you a present.”
The word “present” was the key to Angelica’s good humor. She cautiously stepped away from Tina and regarded the stranger on the couch.
“Now come over here and give your Auntie a hug.”
Angelica came over shyly and submitted to being hugged by her great Aunt. Leslie picked Angelica up and set her down next to her on the couch.
“Now that we’re ‘quainted, I have a little somethin’ for you.” Aunt Leslie fished in her bag and pulled out a small plush toy, a teddy bear in a Texas t-shirt. Angelica squealed and clutched the furry creature to her chest.

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!
all caught up… loved this… i could see them all in alice’s car… and helena was cracking me up… loved this chapter… and now i can’t wait to see where things go from here… PPS
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
