OUT OF CONTROL chapter 20

Bette was able to set up an interview with Karen Wyatt the head of the UCLA department of art. The interview was the best thing Bette could have done career wise. She started to wonder why she hadn’t done this sooner. Karen and Bette got along great and Karen was excited by the prospect of having Bette join their already spectacular team. The only request Bette made, if she was given this opportunity, was the desire to wait until after the baby was born. It Karen heartily agreed and assured Bette she would get a phone call.

Tina was ready to have this child out of her but this little girl just didn’t want to come. All she could do was wait for her. “I guess you got a pretty good deal in there but any time you’re ready little one”, as she said this Bette walked in.

“Are you trying to evict our daughter? How are you feeling?” Bette asked bending down to kiss Tina on the lips then her abdomen, “Hello little girl. How about you give Mommy a break and come join us.”

“I’m good. So, how did the interview go?”

“It was great and she wants me to start right away. I told her as soon as the baby is born I’m there”, Bette said excitedly.

 “Wow I haven’t seen you this excited in years. Well hopefully this little one will be with us soon.”

“I am excited. I just hope this is a good move for us.”

“Don’t worry Babe we’ll be fine. It’s not like we don’t have money in the bank.”

“When you’re right you’re right. So what’s on the agenda for today?”

“I really need to get out of the house. Maybe we could go to the planet or something.”

“Are you sure you’re up for that? Dr. Wilson says you shouldn’t be on your feet to long.”

“Well, I’ll be sitting down at a booth.”

 “Okay The Planet it is.”

They met the rest of the gang already huddle at the usual table. Everyone was commenting on how close the due date was. Half way through dinner Tina had gotten up to use the restroom. Bette noticed she had been in there a while and went to check on her.
