“How does it feel?” Nancy asked noticing that Bette was lost in the sensation.
“It feels amazing.”
“Good.”
Jane left them alone at that point and Nancy spent the next 45 minutes with Bette showing her three positions for the newborn to feed successfully; the cradle position which they had started with, the clutch position where she rested the baby on a pillow beside her with him clutched under her arm, and both lying down on their sides facing one another.
Nancy recommended lying down as the best for the late nights as it allowed the mother to rest while feeding. They talked about the reasons for burping and the different positions to hold the baby to release the gas. They talked about when and how often to switch breast while feeding and also about expressing milk between feedings when needed.
The birthing center provided a welcome basket for the new mothers and in it amongst other essentials was an assortment of creams for breast care. There were informational videos and brochures to help inexperienced mothers such as Bette to know what physical abnormalities to watch for so she could get immediate care.
Nancy was very good at her job. She took as much time as was needed with every new mother. She wouldn’t leave until she was sure that Bette thoroughly understood what to expect before she was released the next day.

By now Nicolas had been fed, burped and contently asleep in his mother’s arms. Nancy lifted him and placed him in the cradle to allow Bette to adjust her bra and get up from the bed. Bette put on her blouse and excused herself to use the bathroom. After she washed up the two women returned to the living room to find that Shane, Molly and Angie had gone back to sleep. The five year old was again cuddled between them on the sofa sleeper.
As they approached the door Nancy turned and pulled a business card out of her pocket. She lowered her voice so as not to disturb the others. “Here’s my card Bette. My cell phone number is listed and I have a 24 hour service. Give me a call if you have any problems, questions or concerns. I also do house visits. Give yourselves a few weeks to adjust but if you have any lingering issues call me. I find that sometimes coming to the house I can spot the problem easier than trying to guess over the phone. I’ve been doing this for years so there isn’t too much that I haven’t come across before that we can’t work out.”

Oh yes, that was a amazing chapter.
Angie truly loves her little brother, she is so cute! .
And you made my heart flutter with some hope for a Tibette reunion, with the last few lines.
Please make my Tibette heart happy.
Thanks for a beautiful story!
Still feels like Tina doesnt belong anymore, even in the “framily”. And she definitely doesnt belong with Bette.. That ship has sailed, and its not a bad thing.
Enjoyed the update, thanks
Cute do I see a Tibette reconcilation……
Thanks for a very nice Chapter.
Please can we have Tibette reconciled with this new edition to their family
Look forward to your next post.
Thanks! This was so beautiful and touching in the end! We all have forgiveness in our hearts. Tina will always belong in Bette’s life. We all deserve a second chance! Miracles do happen. PPS
Hi BAT! Thanks for the update. You know that I like B and T to be together but given the circumstances that had happened between the two of them… mmm.. i think I wouldn’t really expect more. Personally I couldn’t accept what Tina has done to Bette. Letting Bette to be imprisoned for how many years! WTF! I think Bette will always be an Ex-con and that doesn’t suit well for me.
You can always forgive but forget? i doubt it. The scar is too deep. But of course TiBette love has always been different most esp. in fan fics. Somehow it surpasses everything.
I’ll still hold on to your story coz I love it.
XOXO

Amazing chapter! Truly a family.
I hate to see them like this…the hurt the fights the cheating is all bad…but when they move on from each other that’s the worst pain to me..it feels like the greatest love is over…sigh… I hope for wonderful outcomes but I don’t think that’s gonna happen with them together
and ‘a big disappointment when the stories do not finiscono..siamo here to wait and I think we deserve respect because of your fans. excuse the outburst.
Bat, are there more chapters to this story, I can’t find them listed anywhere but when I go the”next post by author” I have found another but now I can not find it anymore. Please tell me there are more and where to find them. Thanks.
I enjoyed the story development on this particular story. I am a Tibette fan, but in this story, I don’t agree that they should be together. From Bette’s talk with Shane, she acknowledges the problems of the past and doesn’t blame Tina but takes responsibility for her part in the problems. Tina has yet to do that…until she does, any relationship with her would be unhealthy for Bette and undesirable. You mentioned possible post partum for Tina and it is obvious that she needs therapy to come to grip with her her part in their sad saga. Bette would do well to steer clear of her and not risk her health and sanity and that of her family with Toxic Tina. I do hope you will complete this story…without the sugar-coated ending.
