The brunette put the business card into her wallet and nodded
“I understand “
Bette held her friend’s eyes for a few seconds
“We understand each other?”
“We do Bette “
Bette relaxed “Tell me how your son is doing at school “
Tina accepted the appointment card from the receptionist and looked at it – the next matter would be getting Bette along with her. It had been a long time since she had been in an STD clinic – probably before she had started sleeping with Eric – she had broke up with Matt her previous long term boyfriend and been foolish in her drunken choice of her next lover. It had been the day after a wild studio party when it had dawned on her that she better get tested and take the morning after pill as added protection. Unprotected heterosexual intercourse was something that she thought was in her past – until the night before.
Tina went outside and walked a few metres to a café that was close by – she bought a coffee and sat outside enjoying the sun and watching the scene in a part of town that she didn’t often visit.
She didn’t regret the night before. It was hard for her to put into words how much she wanted a baby. Seeing a baby in the streets made her cry – seeing a baby on TV made the ache more intense. Every month when her period arrived the blow was harder to take. Tina had put her life on hold to get pregnant –they had tried while she was still working and they had failed month on month for a year. The disappointment had started to take it toil on their marriage – it had been her suggestion to stop working – Bette had approved – she wanted to be the sole provider for them.
Tina sighed as she thought about how they had spent so many nights talking about how it would feel to hold their child – how special that son or daughter would be to them. They both had families that had rejected them – a child of their own would right the wrong. Tina knew that Bette dreamed about their child bringing Melvin closer to her. Tina couldn’t see that happening and it upset her that Bette would be crushed yet again by her father in law’s rejection of them as a couple because of their lifestyle.

I see and appreciate that Bette is struggling… in a way, she’s kind of brought this on herself. But I was always glad that Tina got over whatever mental block she was having and realised that Marcus Allenwood was just as viable a donor as anyone else. When Bette originally mooted this boy as a potential (but unwitting) donor, it felt like Bette was making a really haphazard decision, just out of desperation and more than anything else, to please Tina. It felt like she was giving up a lot to go with the kid, just because, after Tina’s strop in Foxworthy’s office, this boy A) had a Y chromosome, and B) he was white. I was relieved it didn’t go through originally, and pleased that Tina got over whatever silly mental hurdle she had. But this take on it so far is really interesting, and quite well-done. I can’t see Bette getting over this easily at all, once she realises just what she’s done in the name of love, and what Tina’s allowed in the name of desperation. Post more of this when you can, ally, but I’ll be looking for your other tales as well. Cheers
You’ve got Bette down to a science….yes she is going to tear herself up for a long time about this and it could be the death of their relationship if she can’t get control of it. Not to mention there are a thousand things that the PI could find out and it would backfire…Oh ally, you have left yourself to many different options it’s making my head swim thinking about where you feel like taking us….Just pls be gentle.
good answer tina…
good answer from tina! i’m happy to see another update of this story hope you do it more often :0)
Great chapter… you continue to amaze me! Please continue soon!
Actually, I think that this will save their relationship, not be the death of it. It seems to be a wake-up call to Bette that she needs. Ally: thanks for this story. Lin
I have to disagree with Tina. No matter how you look at it, it was an astonishingly stupid thing to do. NOW they want to have a clue as to who Pete is. NOW they want to know if he’s healthy. So they didn’t get pregnant before, still not a good reason to pick up strangers as a means to start a family. And besides all that, Bette’s bugging out over having witnessed the stupidity that she arranged. Is Tina REALLY sure that if this got her knocked up it will all be worth it? There’s nothing wrong with wanting children, but is it worth sacrificing the relationhip that should be the basis of a familly? Or is the potential offspring more important?
Dear sweet baby jesus on the manger, let Tina not be pregnant by this man and let them find a way to marcus allenwood so that Tina can give birth to Angelica. J/K I love ur story. PPS
I agree with funnyone! In this day and age that was an incredibly stupid high risk to take. Tina is really thinking that the end justifies the means and sometimes it’s not. I don’t see how Bette would ever get over any of this. Gosh Ally this story can go in so many different directions. I can definetly seeing Tina sleeping with him again,behind Bette’s back if she does not get pregnant. Now that would be some DRAMA! OOOO,I love it!!!!
So glad to see Tina taking some action in getting tested…it’s a wonder Bette hasn’t made an appointment yet, as it did cross her mind that this guy may be sick. From Bette’s thoughts, I gather that they didn’t even bother to ask him before they did the deed – very foolish indeed. I pray that neither of them have contracted any diseases. It just always seemed so improbable that Bette, with her personality, would go through with this. And Tina too…as well as she knows Bette, it seems like she would have said no at the last minute just because she knows how this is going to mess with Bette’s head. Come on people!!! There are so many OTHER ways to get sperm…there’s even this 20th century place called…a SPERM BANK! It’s especially easy for people who can go out a buy high end gold & diamond bracelets on a whim, to get their hands on good sperm! Oh, but Ally, I love the way you write them. You’ve got all of them down…even when you wrote Marina interrupting B&T at the counter…”Sorry to interrupt you two” I could hear her voice in my head. Yep, you’ve got a gift Ally! I think the proper response for Tina at the end would have been “No ONE is more attractive than Bette in my eyes”, but I know why she said MAN at this point and time. Thank you Ally!
This is going to drive Bette nuts. I don’t know wheather I want Tina to be pregnant or not. I’m glad you’re writing this & I’m not! PPS!!
When I saw this on the show, I was just amazed that they would think to do this and here again. Just please let him be disease free and let Tina NOT BE PREGNANT BY HIM. Let htem find Marcus and let Tina get over her initial thoughts of her inability to parent a bi-racial child. That is so much crap. Children are a blessing and are to be loved, whatever the race She just has to be that strong alpha woman and tell the world be damned. Love your stories AllyE. PPS
Nice chapter. Since you need to re-test in at least another 6 months for diseases like HIV, the majority of this pregnancy (if Tina is pregnant now) will be clouded with an STD scare. This story could get really dark if you wanted to.
ally, I love that you re following up this s/l with another possiblity – I agree it was dumb dumb dumb but I would say they aren’t the first or last who would take this risk. Of course no one wants to see these two as that dumb but what you are doing with the consequences makes for interesting storytelling. However I too want Angelica and not a child from this sexual moment that would be best left in the past IMO but what will Ally do? that is the question. Write on and surprize us with your vision – can’t wait to see where you go.
i still find it awing that someone would have unprotected sex with a man (espiecially) in this day and age. it would freak me the hell out actually. so i can really understand struggling with those thoughts. thanks.
Hello Ally, Thank you for this delightful update. I do think this is how Bette would react if that night had gone as you suggested. The desire to have a child has become all consumming for Bette and Tina. And it seems at any cost. The harsh light of day can bring many doubts and show the recklessness of the previous night’s events. I love thast Tina knows this and is doing all that she can to demonstrate to Bette how much this meant to her and how she understands these morning after regrets. The truth is that it happened and now the possibility of a child is real and what they both want so Bette has to deal with it. Good to see that Bette is beginning to see how she has neglected Tina recently and is now trying to make amends. Basically, Bette and Tina have an opportunity to rekindle their romance and have a child. That has got to be worth one night of madness. Please continue this loving tale soon. Many, many thanks for taking a road not taken. Your Loyal Fan.
WOW!!!! Ally, I just hope no matter what happens B&T can live through it and stay together. This is slowly going to eat away at Bette for the rest of her life I think. You are telling this story in such a great way. Thank you Ally
Good chapter. Hope he not got any disease or anything that put Tina in risk and hope she not pregnant too. Good that Tina go check up and take test and everything, poor Bette this it driving her more crazy. Please let them be ok and no drama please, thanks! Please post soon, thanks!
