And in fact she was right. Depression was the furthest thing from Bette’s state. Her heart was overflowing with joy. The moment she’d held le petite Nicolas Shane Porter weighing in at 6lbs 8ounces and measuring 19 inches long her world changed; but before she let it take hold she was grateful for the quiet time spent with the angel that had stolen her heart 5 years earlier.
“Hey sweetie. You’re awake. Come over here.”
Angie was delighted with the invitation and rewarded her mother with her best Porter smile. She carefully climbed over the pillow as Bette pushed it aside and opened her arms so they could cuddle and share a good morning kiss. Angie adjusted her embrace to her mother’s smaller baby bump which once again brought to mind her baby brother.
“Momma, where’s le petite? Was he born?”
“Yes he was born last night.”
“You didn’t wake me up.”
“No baby we didn’t. I know I said we would but it was really late and everyone was really tired. I needed to rest and the nurse had to take care of him. She took him to the nursery to stay with the other babies.”
“Why couldn’t he sleep here with us?”
“Remember in the birthing classes when we watched the video and they told us that when babies are first born they need to take them to the nursery to wash them and weigh them and …”
“Footprint them.” Angie interrupted anxious to tell her story. “Mommy showed me my footprints in my baby book.”
“She did?”
“I had tiny feet.” Angie lifted her leg and wiggled her toes to demonstrate how much bigger they were now.
Bette couldn’t help but smile. “Yes you did; all babies do when they are born.”
When Bette found out about Tina’s second pregnancy she had started the memory book. It was her way of feeling connected. The sonogram was the first picture that she displayed. Angie’s ‘heirloom birth certificate’ which included her full legal name; Angelica Kennard-Porter, date of birth, weight, height and the footprints was pasted on the page after the title page that introduced their daughter’s lineage, proudly recording Christina Kennard and Elizabeth Porter as the parents. Whatever Tina said or did to disavow her parentage the records would always show what they both knew in their hearts.

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.
