Bette’s entire world came crashing down when she finally got to the appointment too late and received the bad news. She’d rushed home to find her inconsolable partner curled up in a ball in a corner of their darkened bedroom crying her heart out. At the same time they had picketers desecrating the front lawn of their home with signs and yelling obscenities telling her that she was going to hell because of the controversial art exhibit that she’d procured in her job as the Director of the California Arts Center. A grief-stricken Bette had simply answered “I’m already there” before returning to the bedroom to take care of Tina. She never allowed herself to cry or be weak. She needed to be the strong one.
The loss of the baby wasn’t only devastating to the parents but it epitomized the turning point in an already failing marriage. Although Tina was able to conceive again and give birth to Angelica they never fully recovered as a couple and ultimately they lost each other too.
***
Bette was now at six months. Being more confident that the most dangerous part of the pregnancy was over she’d decided it was time to share the good news; first with Angie and Tina and then with the rest of her friends and acquaintances. Two weeks earlier with Shane at her side holding her hands Bette lay on the examination table while Dr. Perez performed the ultrasound. They both watched the screen eagerly until the blurry image formed to show a thriving baby boy.
Bette was delighted with the news that it was a boy and thrilled to have Shane with her to celebrate and prepare for his arrival. Although she wanted this baby more than anything else in the world Bette still had bouts of anxiety about being a single mother.
Shane didn’t understand her insecurity often reminding her that she was a great mom to Angie. Not only was she Angelica’s primary caregiver for the first six months she was the first mother that Angelica knew at birth. Tina had had a very difficult delivery and almost died so they’d abandoned any hopes of a natural birth and ended up doing a C-section. She’d lost so much blood that they had to give her a transfusion and she was unconscious for several hours after the birth. It was Bette that watched through the glass window of the nursery as they washed Angelica and checked her vital signs. It was Bette that gave her the first feeding, changed her diaper and introduced her to the family while they waited for Tina to wake up.

Oh wow how sad that they are not together, and Bette doesn’t have Tina by her side for the pregnancy hopefully she come along and they find share a pregnancy experience together since Tina ran off and hide hers for months before telling Bette. Angelica has a lil hard life sometimes always caught in the middle of her parents drama im sure she wants them in one home together, and out of all their friends I always felt that Shane was the most loyal one especially to Bette.
This is the first that I comment on this story, but as I followed the quiet reader.
I loved it. You have a way with words BAT.
although I am very sad to see Bette and Tina are not together, I hope their relationship will improve. Maybe Tina has repented of her measures towards former wife . maybe she is still feelings towards Bette. I’m so glad that Bette is not alone during her pregnancy and Shane support her. She is a good friend of Bette, since they persevered all through side by side.
I’m glad that Alice even more has been largely out of the picture, Bette pulled the line until she can take part in her life, I think this should had to do it!
I’m looking forward to the sequel.
and I can not help but I’m forever Tibetter, I hope they will be a family in the end.
Enjoyed it even if sad Bette and Tina arent getting on so good
Thx for the update, wish that you can bring Bette and Tina back together, one happy family. Pps
Great read! I’m sure Tina will be hurt but she will get over it. Maybe one day Tina can forgive Bette and they can become best friends again. Keep hope alive. PPS
That’s good and hope they will come back to each other again
What a great story! Thoroughly enjoyable and very thoughtful. Bette seems to be in total control of her life. Please continue.
I really hope Bette stays this strong and confident no matter what in your story.

She most definitely will remain strong and confident. She is doing what is best for her and not depending on someone else to have her dreams of family. I can’t tolerate a whimpy Bette. She will have bouts of insecurity but that’s different from being a doormat or allowing others to dictate how she should act or feel.
Thank you for reading and commenting.
I don’t see why bette is so worried about tinas reaction its not as if they are together bette is doing so good by herself and I don’t think I could still care about a person who claims to love her yet have you sent to prison for kidnapping her own daughter ok ill stop with my rant this was another great chapter pps.
Great story.I Hope Bette and Tina get a seconf chance.
Just found your story. Love it! Happy to see Bette doing so great. Tina may be hurt but its not really her place to get mad at Bette. Bette is doing what’s best for herself and I love it. Angie will live it I thnk, getting to be the big sister. I had people Alice stays out of the picture. Was never really a fan on f hers and how she but herself in between B&T. Thank you PPS
