Heart over Mind … Finally
Bette and Francesca returned from the Birth Center at around five thirty in the evening. Douglas was preparing dinner and told them it would be served at seven. Francesca went to her room to take a nap while Bette went for a swim in the pool.
They’d had a great visit at the Birth Center. They made reservations for the anticipated due date but booked an extra day before and one after in case the baby came earlier or later than expected. They had a couple more prenatal visits scheduled with Dr. Wilson and if everything continued to progress well with the pregnancy they had her blessings to go through with the natural birth.
***
Bette was finishing up her laps in the pool when she heard her cell phone ringing. She’d left it on a table near the pool so she wouldn’t miss Tina’s call. She got out of the water to answer it but when she looked at the caller ID it was Sam not Tina’s name that came up.
“Hey Sam how are you?”
“I’m doing great how about yourself?”
“I’m doing great too although I’m a little surprised to hear from you today. Didn’t you say Sunday was family day?”
“It is. I am with Jen and Diana in San Diego. I just called to tell you I had a change of plans. I won’t be in the office on Monday.”
“When will you be back?”
“I’ll be home late tomorrow evening. Diana and I drove down this morning to spend the day at Sea World but Jen talked us into spending the night. She wants to go to the zoo tomorrow.”
“It doesn’t sound like she had to do too much persuading.”
“Not at all. I love the San Diego Zoo and it’s even more fun seeing it from a three year olds’ perspective.”
“Yeah. I can’t wait until Alex is old enough to enjoy stuff like that. Hey I appreciate you calling to let me know. Should I call you on Tuesday then?”
“Actually I have a few minutes while Diana and Jen get ready for dinner. I have my Blackberry with me so if you have time we can look at schedules now and set something up.”
“Sure. I just need to go to my bedroom so I can look at my calendar. I was taking a swim in the pool.”

Thank you BAT! Look forward to more posts!
YES! Waiting for the next update…..
BAT,
Thank u for this chapter. I know that they still have a long way ahead of them and for sure they still have to strengthen their relationship for the future problems that they have to face but I am just happy that they have already taken the baby steps and they have already kissed. Yipee!
Love this Chapter!

I know that life often gets in the way for everyone, and we are so very grateful to you writers that give us such wonderful stories.
I really liked that a lot. you did really good for my romantic heart. ;)
at the beginning, Sam and Bette meets for lunch, for me it seems as a date. but I’m glad that Bette could alleviate Tina’s jealousy. It was a sweet moment between them on the beach. This was the first step in their lives and still have a long journey ahead of them, but at least moving together.
I’m looking forward to the next one.
Great post BAT. Yay!!! Finally we have positive movement between them and it was great. Bette may not consider this meeting with Sam as a date but, I can assure Bette that Sam considers it a date. Sam has already expressed interest in Bette and Tina knows that because she knows Sam a lot better than Bette and Sam admitted as much to Tina. Like Tina said, “why else would Sam interrupt her family time to call Bette,” rather than wait until Monday when she was back home, that would have been enough time to contact Bette. “Houston, I think we have a problem.” Hopefully, Bette will have sense enough to see through Sams’ machinations. Bette always seems to think other people don’t have ulterior motives because she doesn’t think that way and she doesn’t think others will do such. Well, open your eyes Bette and watch what happens.
OOOps!!! Thanks so much for posting. Always look forward to the next chapter.
Thank you for a great update and sure makes me happy. I like the story very much and now continue to talk about how two person building up trust in a relationship. more please …
Yes, yes, yes. BTW, I am jealous of their (Bette’s) lifestyle. She is living large. Nice to have good friends in really high places. PPS.
Bette and Tina together, now we build trust, complicity
partnership, friendship and love … it’s a long way to go because the obstacles difficulties that will arise in their way, and they have to be prepared
to overcome.
Bat, everybody wants to love without limits … and I remembered this poem because
is deep, so true, so perfect …
And that’s what Bette and Tina crave it.
The love you seek
Not need to undergo
And not dominate me
In completaríamos,
Would be two bodies in one direction …
The love you seek
Need not be perfect
Perfection is the merit of going
Because we have learned with the imperfections of others
We have eternity to err …
The love you seek
Need not give me the ocean of happiness
A small drop of happiness would be enough
For happiness in abundance
The disease is not happiness is …
The love you seek
No need to go to my next 24h
But think of me every time you might think
Because our souls have always love
In the presence or absence …
The love you seek
Never need to thank me
Because love is in spontaneous acts
Would not have to thank one another
Because it would be very natural …
The love you seek
I have every confidence in the world
Depository you all happiness
To me good yield interest
We lived the wealth of feelings …
The love you seek
You have my loyalty and allegiance
_ Who does not love Love Mind
Because there are only truths.
The love you seek
when lack
It seeks me in memories
Why our unforgettable moments
For nostalgia is a triumph against time
Would always remember those moments …
The love you seek
The day I was down
Just to bring the understanding of tears
What prevented them from falling,
To let the winds that dry by itself …
The love you seek
Enxergasse in small things
The magnitudes and the effects that transmit
Because the greatness of life in the realization of small things
And feel small on the outside and big on the inside …
The love you seek
I do not believe that we will live forever
In life nothing is forever
Because still love beyond life
But everything in life ends,
because feelings are still alive …
The love you seek
Do not worry about the time
Because we stop us from the moment we met
For the world would continue spinning love not the flow of time
The time is too short for those who love …
The love you seek
I saw the gleam in my eyes
the light from the star incomparable
And when I tried to get to heaven,
Then would be two lonely stars in the sky
Without worrying about the clouds and dawn
Dying to be born at dawn and dusk
Every day this uninterrupted cycle …
The love you seek
It made me dream into reality
And he really did materialize the dreams
Because dreaming is good, because the reality is magnificent
To dream would be if it were true …
The love you seek
No need to study
Because we would have the perfect formula for life
Stories to tell Probability of being happy
And the reason would be to love, live and fit into infinity …
The love you seek
It is in the books
Why would not a story …
It would be a chapter to write daily with paints of reality
No use of concealer, not caring about writing and spelling mistakes, because life could teach us to write without errors …
The love you seek
Has no aesthetic forms, racial and age distinction
Love has no form nor prejudice
Need not be a prince,
Despite facing the king, if necessary
But would be happy with a humble peasant …
The love you seek
not start
average live
No end before
Because it would be a never ending beginning
Because when we reach the end
Start over again
Every day is the start …
The love you seek
No need to be jealous
Why is something destructive
Makes us lose what we might gain
Because confidence is gained with time and lost in fractions
Because trust is in the attitudes …
The love you seek
Could you tell me the joys and sorrows
Because emotions live in this parts
Since he would be the reasons for the joys
And the lack of it would be the reason for the sorrows …
The love you seek
Need not be large
But that is the size of infinity
It has no beginning and end
Because if one day the love is gone
It would take forever to finish …
The love you seek
Can not be superficial
Gotta have the depth of the sea
To be happy when
Stir the seven seas
And my smiles were waves
Who graduated and dispose
A continuous cycle
And my eyes glitter
As the moon bathed the sea …
The love you seek
Perhaps what I seek does not exist
Would live in eternal pursuit
The love I seek is in dreams
Because in reality, was not found
For my dream
You bring the love I search for reality …
Bat, this story is invigorating ….
10 stars …..
Obs.Sorry the poem … it’s just my side TiBette emerges.
