Go get Kit. She’ll get Alice and Helena. They’ll get you to the hospital. There’s time. And Kit will call Bette.
Tina pulled open the bathroom door and made her way towards the stock room, stepping gingerly toward Kit. She stopped walking suddenly. “Kit? Kit.”
Kit either hadn’t heard her or Tina wasn’t loud enough. “KIT!”
Kit snapped to attention, took one look at Tina and rushed towards her. “Tina, honey what’s wrong? Is it the baby?”
Tina nodded, clutching her stomach. She heard herself say, “My water just broke.”
Tina registered the panic on Kit’s face, but then felt instantly reassured when she visibly saw Kit mentally taking charge.
“Alright. Don’t move. I’ll be back in two seconds.” Kit scurried out of the hallway and out into the restaurant area. Tina heard hurried footsteps approaching and Helena appeared. She wrapped an arm around Tina.
“Alice is getting the car, Kit is calling Bette. Come along now, we’re going to get you to hospital.” She walked Tina towards the exit and Kit rushed up behind them.
“Kit, can you get to the house?” Tina asked. “Angie is there with the nanny. Could you send her home and stay with Angelica, please? I want you to be with her.”
“Of course I will, don’t you worry about a thing.”
Alice’s car squealed to a halt out front. Before Tina knew what was happening, she was safely inside the back seat beside Helena, and Alice was careening through traffic. Tina tried to calm her spinning thoughts. Helena was squeezing her hand, giving her a reassuring look that wasn’t that reassuring at all. The creepiness of her plastered-on smile was making Tina feel edgy.
“Don’t smile at me.”
Helena blinked. “Come again?”
“Stop smiling at me,” Tina hissed.
“Hels, stop making Tina nervous. Don’t smile at her!” Alice cried, veering into another lane.
“I’m not,” Helena replied hotly. She cast a worried glance at Tina’s midsection. Tina rolled her eyes.
“I’m not going to give birth in the car, Helena.”
Helena smiled at her nervously. “No, I know. I just, ehm…” she turned away from Tina and focused on Alice instead, apparently deciding that backseat driving would be more useful. “Alice? You’re going the wrong way!”

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
