Sharing The Experience
“What about Alice? You know Tina confides everything to her and if she needs to talk Alice is going to be the first one she’ll call.”
“I know she’ll be mad at me if Tina says something first but I can’t trust Alice not to interfere if I give her a heads up. She still doesn’t understand boundaries even after I called her out for crossing the line when she sent Tina to Joyce. I asked her then to stay out of my personal life and I meant it; I don’t owe Alice any explanation. Tina and I are doing better but she hasn’t forgiven me, she doesn’t fully trust me and our relationship is still very fragile. Angie is the only reason we even talk and I don’t want to jeopardize the progress we’ve made just to spare Alice’s feelings. This is between me, Tina and Angie. As much as you are involved I don’t want you getting into the middle of it either; especially not where Alice is concerned. I’m sure she’ll resent you once she finds out that you knew first.”
“Don’t worry about me. I can handle Alice.”
“Thank you Shane.”
Bette and Shane finished up in the nursery then headed back downstairs to fold the laundry. After everything was put away Bette again thanked Shane and gave her friend a hug and kiss on the cheek as they said goodnight.
After locking up and turning off the lights Bette went up to the master bathroom and started a bath. She’d asked Dr. Perez about taking baths while pregnant and the doctor had advised against saunas and hot tubs but as long as she kept the water warm not hot and was careful stepping into and out of the tub baths were permitted.
Bette lit scented candles and turned on soothing jazz music before submerging her achy body into the welcoming aromatic lukewarm water. As her muscles relaxed she realized she might have overdone it a bit today with all the running around with Shane. She leaned back against the bath pillow and closed her eyes. Her mind was playing all the different scenarios of how Tina might react. She’d been extremely hurt when Tina had kept her pregnancy with Angie secret but of course they were still a couple when Tina conceived.
This time was different. Bette didn’t have any relational obligation to Tina. They’d been divorced for four years. This was solely Bette’s baby but she still needed to be sympathetic to how it might make Tina feel; especially since their dreams of having a family together had been shattered by Bette’s actions. She wanted Tina to be happy for her. She needed her to understand that Angie meant the world to her but this baby filled a void in Bette’s life.
There would be no claims about parentage except that she’d used Marcus’ sperm. Should she have told Tina before using the same donor that would make their children half-siblings? She’d told Shane that she’d done it for herself and for Angie; she just hoped that Tina wouldn’t feel betrayed.
Bette sighed and got out of the tub. What’s done is done; she was having her baby. She would love him and care for him and give him a great shot at life. She caressed her tummy as she dried off and prepared for bed. It was at that moment that she felt the baby kick for the first time.

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
