“What? No I’m not!”
“You should have turned at that last light!”
Alice glared at Helena in the rear view mirror. “I know a shortcut, okay? Just let me drive. You’re making everyone nervous.” As if to accentuate her point, Alice leaned on the horn and overtook a gently chugging van in front of them.
Helena scoffed. “I think your driving is what’s making all of us nervous,” she said crisply. “You just try to get us to hospital without all three of us needing medical attention when we arrive.”
Tina closed her eyes, wishing she could close out the sound of them as well as she could close out the sight. She took a deep breath. Maybe it would have been better to have driven herself to the hospital.
“Tina? TINA!” Tina’s eyes flew open to the sight of Helena’s hand in her face. She began to snap repeatedly. “Stay with me, Tina! Alice, drive faster. I think Tina is losing consciousness!”
Tina pushed Helena’s hand away with disgust. “I only wish I were losing consciousness. Could both of you calm down?”
“Sorry, sorry!”
Tina closed her eyes again and covered her hand with her eyes, enjoying the silence. A few moments passed before Tina realized that they weren’t moving. She moved her hand from her eyes and glanced warily at Helena on the seat next to her. Helena was biting her knuckle and keeping her eyes away from Tina.
“Comeoncomeoncomeon,” Alice was muttering to herself in the front seat.
Tina craned her neck and looked with dread at the line of cars ahead of them. “Some shortcut, Al. Thanks.”
“I’m sorry!” Alice wailed.
Tina rubbed her temples briefly, trying to keep her thoughts straight. She should have called an ambulance. Why had she allowed herself to be led into Alice’s car? She became distracted by Helena rifling furiously in her handbag for something.
“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.”

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.
