Sharing the good news
“I didn’t get to experience much of Tina’s pregnancy with Angie so I’m looking forward to it this time.”
“You’ll do great and feel free to call me anytime if you have a question or need information. I’ll see you both in five weeks. The receptionist will make the appointment on your way out. Congratulations again. I’m very happy for you.”
“Thank you, Doc.,” They both acknowledge
After the appointment Bette takes Tina out for a celebration lunch. Tina’s appetite is already increasing but so is the frequency of bathroom visits. They decide to keep the news to themselves for a few weeks.
Tina’s body adjusts to pregnancy and as expected she has morning sickness, her skin breaks out with pimples due to the hormonal changes and oil secretions, and her breast get fuller and more sensitive.
During the first few weeks Bette understands that Tina doesn’t want to engage in sex and she’s sensitive to that but she also never lets Tina forget how attractive she is and how much she loves how her body is changing to accommodate the new life that is growing inside her.
Tina is somewhat moody and feeling crummy once the morning sickness hits. Bette does everything Dr. Wilson recommended and it helps to alleviate some of the vomiting. Bette spends more time with Angie, and she takes on the additional household chores. She takes care of Tina, and she couldn’t be happier. Life is good.

Bette and Tina tell Angie
Bette and Tina are sitting in bed with Angie on a Saturday morning when they decide to tell her the news about the baby.
“Sweetie. You know how Momma and I have been talking to you about having a little brother or sister?”
“Yes. Mommy. Momma said you had to wait for your body to get ready and then you had to take a test.”
Tina smiles at her daughter literal memory. “That’s right. Well I took the test a few weeks ago and we found out that I have a baby growing inside of me now. You’re going to be a big sister.”
“When is the baby coming?”
Bette joins the conversation. “It’ll be a few months sweetie. The baby will be born in September after your birthday and after the summer school vacation.”

Thanks for posting BAT.
Always pleased to read a continuation of one of your stories.
I think you are not necessarily over ‘anti’ about anyone as always ‘pro’ Bette and I can handle that although in the Show I did like Helena coming back as a ‘goodie’!
Look forward to more posts to take our minds off the stark reality of the real word.
Things escalating here in UK and I am in Isolation due to having a cough and being 76 years of age. Half way through my ‘time’ then into 12 weeks of no ‘social’ interaction and had all my ‘social groups’ cancelled by e-mail yesterday.

Hi SG
This virus has certainly turned our world upside down. Sorry you are isolated but it’s probably best that you minimize exposure. Be safe, and take care of yourself. I’ll be thinking of you.
Thanks for helping me understand Tina in this chapter. I wasn’t a fan of Helena and especially when she went from the enemy to everyone’s best friend after what she did to Bette. She deliberately ruined someone’s life.
I didn’t get far enough in this story to decide her fate so we’ll see how it goes.

I did not remember that Bette had not talked to Tina about her suicide attempt. That was another story in which they had discussed it. I am having a hard time with Tina perception of Peggy’s disowning Helena. Peggy has disowned her daughter financially not as her daughter. Peggy has not and still acknowledges Helena as her daughter. She has just drawn the line in the sand by denying Helena access to any resources to carry on her pathological life style. It would appear that Peggy would be fine on visiting Helena if invited, talking to Helena and communicating for the purposes of carrying on a relationship. But in any incident by design or accident in which Helena was deceiving or harming another individual, Peggy would not go to her aid. As she is currently in prison, all Helena would need to do is phone or write..
To me cutting someone off financially is does not mean a totally disowning of your child. If you cut them off financially, announced to the world that they were no longer her child, denied they ever existed , refused every and all communication ever, then that would be disowning a child. This is not what Peggy has done. Tina needs to understand this. Peggy has not removed her love, she has simply removed her tools of destructive behavior.
Bette needs to have a counseling session with Emma and then talk to Tina. If she needs Emma present for her to tell Tina the devastation that Helena brought on Bette and her well being, then she need to do so. Tina is just trying to be the supporter of the underdog and is refusing to see just how devastating and devious Helena has been. Tina just needs to understand that Helena has harmed Tina as well and she would not stand behind her if the roles were reversed. Alice came really close to this in her conversation.
Good chapter…. let’s get Tina on a more reasonable opinion of Helena and of Peggy.

Thanks for posting BAT, it’s always a pleasure to read your stories !
I also agree with Martha, Bette MUST explain to Tina through Emma all the devastation she felt and especially the suicide attempt !
I’ve always wondered why no stories were ever written about that scene in the pool ??
