“You don’t have to do that.”
“I don’t mind.” Tina said as she opened to the fridge to see what options were available. She pulled out a carton of eggs, and packages of ham and cheese and assorted vegetables and placed all the ingredients on the counter. Going in search of a cutting board Tina glanced over to where Angie and Shane were sitting. Nicolas was back in Shane’s lap but Angie was holding his hands and they appeared to be deep in some kind of private conversation.
“I’m sure I’m going to have a hard time pulling her away.”
“We just need to keep to the same routine. I hope I can still have her next weekend and I’d love to have her over more if it’s okay with you.”
“You’re going to have your hands full with a newborn Bette. I was thinking maybe we should cut back on the weekends for a while. I don’t want you to have to worry about taking care of her at night when you’re hardly going to be getting any sleep.”
“Tina I appreciate that but I have a lot of help. You don’t need to worry about her when she’s with me. She has a lot of people that care for and about her. My having Nicolas doesn’t change anything with Angie; we’re a family you know. Neither one of us has to do this parenting thing by ourselves.”
Tina nodded her resolve as she glanced into the living area and saw that Molly and Shane had swapped places. Molly now held the baby while Shane got showered and changed. Angie had yet to leave his side. She marveled at this little being that she’d come to love from the time she knew of his existence. She still couldn’t believe that he was actually here.
By the time breakfast was ready Nicolas had fallen back to sleep. They reluctantly put the baby back in the cradle in the bedroom and the five of them sat at the kitchen table. It only had four chairs so Angie sat on Shane’s knee. Tina had prepared vegetable scrambled eggs with ham and cheddar cheese. Bette made the toast and cut up the fruit.
They made a fresh pot of coffee for Tina, Shane and Molly while Bette and Angie drank milk. Most Sunday’s they would meet for brunch at the Planet so it wasn’t unusual for Bette, Tina and Angie to be sharing a meal but it had been years since they prepared one together.
Shane: I think kids are such a beautiful gift because … I don’t know I mean I look at that little one and I see the love that you have for her and the love you actually have for each other despite the things you’re going through. I don’t know I guess it just seems like sometimes love just doesn’t last the way you hope it will but if you can get through that pain it lasts in more ways that are more precious … maybe .. possibly.
It had taken almost a year but finally Bette and Tina were making strides toward forgiveness and healing.

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.
