From Afar
Bette picks Anna up all the while trying to appease the now screaming baby. As the volume of her cries never lets up. Walking into the kitchen with Anna in tow, Bette cant get to the refrigerator fast enough. Pulling out a bottle and putting it in the microwave, Bette waits for the microwave to complete the warm up. God how can she cry this much and not wear out? Bette thought. Hurry up she says to the microwave as if she could make the 60 seconds go faster. As soon as the microwave beeped, Bette pulled out the bottle and tested the temperature on her wrist. Damn too hot. Now Bette went to the kitchen sink and began running cold water over the bottle. When she felt the temperature was just right, Bette shoved the nipple in Annas mouth. At first Anna took the bottle and the crying quite. Oh thank God was Bettes initial thoughts as she was now sweating from trying to calm Anna down. Anna herself now was so worked up that she also was all sweaty and crimson red. The bottle appeasement lasted a whole two minutes before Anna pushed the nipple away with her tongue and began wailing again. Now what was Bettes reaction now? She had just exhausted her stand by methods of calming Anna down.
Feeling her face again and realizing that Anna was burning up, Bette pulls a washcloth out of the closet, and she runs cold water over it and begins to give wipe Annas hot and now sticky face down. This seems to have the desired effect as Anna begins to hic up and gasp and finally tone the volume down to a more manageable whimper.
Oh thank God, I dont think my ears could have taken any more of that screaming.
With Anna in a calmer state, Bette returns to Annas room and sits down in the rocker and begins to rock and sing to Anna. A more conciliatory Anna now is receptive to this persuasion and responds by snuggling into Bettes chest and falls back to sleep. Wow was all Bette could think as the catastrophe seemed averted.

Beautiful chapter. In the beginning we don’t know why baby cries but we learn very fast. Bette is good to this and I love this chapter.
I’ve melted in a pool of mush again…SO sweet…I’ll be practicing;P…my lil’ happy dance can wait as long as you keep sending mushy and heartfelt chapters our way=D You DA BOMB Jwet!!
It’s good to see Bette in ‘mother mode’.
Does she consider herself Anna’s other mother? Does Tina??
i knew bette could be a great mom. great update, thanks.
Hey great chapter. I sense a discussion coming up between Bette and Tina about Anna and how much in her life Bette is going to be.
*sigh* *sweetness*
I’m not a parent myself, but my friends who are tell me how they “forget” any bad moments once their babies falls asleep in their arms. *Sweet*
Your painting of Bette’s experience leaves me smiling.
Thanks for starting my day so beautifully.
Wow, this was just amazing. I am glad you showed us this time with Bette and Anna. Loved it!
Jwet this beautiful story continues to please. I love the interaction with Bette and Anna…makes my biological clock tick louder. Our best to you and your inspiration.
Jwet…i can’t tell you how much i love this story….You have really captured the new and amazing connection that exists between a mother and her daughter…..Is that what Bette considers herself to be Anna’s other mom?? The way you portray it i’ll go with…..HELL YES (could be wrong though..hehe)!……Thank you for another truly wonderful chapter:)
Oh Bette is so cute with the baby and love what she and the baby have. Post soon, thank you!
That was cute! loved it as usual.
Had to comment before I went off to work. This was great. Totally loving the parental Bette. Must continue.
P.S Why must it snow in April?
Jwet that was spot on, i have a big smile on my face.
Bette has passed with flying colours she’s a natural with Anna.
Thanks for sharing.
Jwet thank you for this post. I truly enjoyed it. I remember being all panicky when babysitting haha and u’ve pictured everything perfectly here. Great chapter Jwet!
Bette seems to be quite instinctive when it comes to look after a baby…………this story is so cute
Bette is so cute with the baby. Just a question does Tina wants Anna to be in Bette s live or does she want bette to be the mother of Anna?
Maybe Anna’s all colicky because Bette didn’t burp her after the bottle. Well done…even if you didn’t put B&T in the big people bed. (yes they’d be closer in the crib, but it’d be less safe for Anna.)
cute chapter!! btw, although i’m not robbeedee, will you also give me a few chapters ahead if i were to email you?
wow.that was really really cute. i totally love the way Bette is with Anna. So f***ing cute ! keep on writing, it’s great
This chapter was sweet, and adorable. I’m happy for Bette that she was able to spend that time alone with the baby…and it reminded me why I chose to not have children! :)
Yep, I had the same experience while babysitting, but I wigged out and called the parents. Kudos to Bette for hangin’ in there. She’s going to be a great mommy.
Well done, as always Jwet.
Nice to see this side of B…
Hey Jwet I know I haven’t comment in a while , you still have me for you Beautiful Amazing Story so keep going we love it Please post soon.
Love Bette in the Mom mode. Hey, does Tina want Bette, or doest she want another Mom for Anna, Bette and the babie were cute in the bath. thanks
First, great chapter and so real. Babies are such hard work and it is great to see someone is writing about the real life experiences. I love seeing Bette,CAC director feeling out of control some with a little baby.
