Alice whipped her head around and frowned at Helena before turning back to the slowly moving traffic ahead. “We’re almost there, sheesh. It’s not like you went and got your car, is it? But then, gee, how could Tina have gotten in a two-seater Porsche?”
Tina tuned out the steady stream of bickering between her two friends, and soon, with no small amount of relief, saw that they were at the hospital. Helena jumped out of the car and ran inside, returning fairly quickly with an orderly and a wheelchair. Alice opened Tina’s door for her and along with the orderly, helped Tina out of the car and into the chair. The orderly was young, clean-cut, and calm. Tina liked him right away.
“Let’s get you inside. Who’s your doctor?”
“Marie Wilson. My friend called ahead, I think. My water broke about 45 minutes ago.”
He didn’t respond, just confidently wheeled Tina into the coolness of the hospital while Helena trotted along behind them.
“Where are you taking her?”
“An observation room in the obstetrics wing. Dr. Wilson will be along shortly, but we’ll have staff on call to make sure everything is alright and to monitor the progress of your labor,” the orderly said, wheeling Tina carefully into an elevator. Soon, Tina was inside a very technical looking room. The orderly helped her to her feet and a friendly-looking nurse stepped in, offering to help Tina change into a hospital gown. Tina wasn’t thrilled at the prospect, but she consented to the help. She didn’t want to be alone; the orderly had insisted that Helena wait outside.
Tina was changed and with more assistance from the nurse, who was cool, friendly and efficient. She assured Tina that Dr Wilson would be there soon, but in the meantime, another doctor would be there to examine her in a moment or two. She showed Tina which button to push to summon her back into the room.
“Or you can just yell for me – I’ll be two feet down the hall,” the nurse winked.
“Can my friends come in?” Tina asked.
“Not just yet – we want to see how you’re progressing first. I promise a doctor will be with you shortly.” And with that she swished out of the room.

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
