“Just the fact that Alice suggested it should have been an indication that it was a recipe for disaster.”
“You’re right, but we didn’t know any better at the time, so we went for it. We had the party at the house. We invited men that met the criteria – handsome, healthy, strong, creative and artistic. It was also decided not to tell them why they were invited because we didn’t want to scare them off.”
“So, you invited a bunch of men to your home for a donor party they knew nothing about. How did you manage?”
“Tina and I worked the room. We spoke to each of them individually and made our pitch. Peggy, I never experienced so much rejection in my life as I did that night. Tina took it harder than me. She really became depressed, but we still had a couple of friends to ask that were not at the party, so we continued our search. We went to see one guy Jean Paul and he was willing. We got so excited. We were ready to have him sign the papers giving up his parental rights when he asked us how we wanted to do it. Did we want just him and Tina to have sex or would I be joining them. Tina was hysterically funny when she did this, but I tried not to laugh. She says to Jean Paul “not only are we monogamous but we don’t sleep with men. We have a specimen cup that we’ll give you” and then she gives him a visual with a masturbatory hand motion. He is insistent on making the baby the “old fashioned way” and refuses to “squirt in a cup” so we take our documents and we start to walk away when he says, “the penis, the pussy, the baby”. I totally lose it at this point, and I started laughing. Then we meet up with the girls at the Planet and I’m retelling the story and laughing until tears are running down my cheeks. Alice, Shane and Dana are joining me and repeating “the penis, the pussy, the baby” then I glance over at Tina and she is royally pissed. She says she doesn’t find anything funny about it. Of course, I don’t even realize how insensitive I’m being. I don’t get why she’s mad. I say that we need to lighten up and find the humor in the situation.”

Great Post, thank you.

Thank you SassyGran. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great job Peggy. Fortunately, Tina and Bette have had some this conversation a 18 months ago when they were reconciling. They talked about Tina’s role in keeping the two apart during the pregnancy. Tina admitted that she stayed with Helena because she felt loved, appreciated and gratified with the attention. She admitted that she was not ready to allow Bette to fully participate in the pregnancy but didn’t have an explanation as to why. Was she punishing Bette for all the problems she had getting pregnant? Tina did admit that she never really considered what her actions were doing to Bette. She only considered her feeling and desires at the moment, That was obvious when Bette was taken by complete surprise when Tina said she wanted to move back in with Bette just prior to the baby’s birth. Anyway, this is a good time for Tina to see Emma and rehash some of those things. Why did she keep pushing Bette away? There is something more to the reasons Bette and Tina separated to begin with. Perhaps Tina is still not aware of what that is, but she needs to bring them to the surface so they will not cause the same response. And what is she going to do to avoid the same reaction with this pregnancy and the attempts which are bound to happen? How is she going to keep from feeling like a failure when each month the test say there is no baby?
Bette and Tina are in a better place and they are communicating better. They have made some drastic changes in their lives just recently. New jobs for both which are entrepreneurial in nature and call for more hours and more stress to get off the ground. Now Bette has accepted the Director of the Peabody Foundation which is somewhat of an unknown as to the amount of hours and stress in that job. They are both older by eight years and have a precocious little girl who will need her parents as much as ever. Perhaps they need to see Emma before the insemination starts. Peggy is right. Tina has to pledge to be there for Bette and their family just as much as Bette does. But she must do more than pledge, she must be ready with the tools and skills to avoid the pitfalls of her history so there won’t be a repeat.
Great bit of writing. The story of the search for the donor was priceless. I agree with Bette. I was funny unless you’re the one trying to get pregnant. Nice way to use some of the canon of TLW. There were so many little incidents like those that some times we just forget. And with stories like this, we can enjoy the enhanced version.
Thank you for this chapter….
Hi Martha, as usual your observations are very insightful. Many of your thoughts will be addressed in the next chapter or two. Thanks for reading and reminding me that Bette and Tina did discuss some of this when they got back together.
Great writing BAT2012!!!!
Peggy is so right and i am glad that Bette takes her advice in consederation and acknowlegde it.
Bette and Tina spoke about that time, but it is important that Tina looks to herself and be open about her feelings, her fears and actions.
I think Martha made good points in her comment.
Thanks for this wonderful chapter!
Bibi28. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Tina will definitely be encouraged to do some more introspection. Really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
