In addition to the candid shots that Bette took, the couple asked Shane to take some professional family photos with iconic Los Angeles landmarks including the courthouse as the backdrop. As the couple posed with their two children, they could not remember a time in their relationship when they were this happy and in love, but more importantly experiencing the family life they dreamed about and that their children deserved. Bette and Tina had done their best to co-parent Angie but because of the tumultuousness of their relationship between the time she was born until she turned four there was always an underlying factor that marred their true happiness. They suffered a lot of pain, anger, loss of trust, vengefulness, and acrimony while separated but they’d fought their way back. Their deep-seated love and passion couldn’t be denied or suppressed. Now that they were reunited, they looked forward to a blissful future.

Logan’s six-month birthday brought everyone back together to celebrate this little change agent. His first six months were filled with milestone moments that Bette and Tina captured in the journal Marci had surprised them with as a parting gift when she was discharged from the hospital in Bridgeport. She was now in Boulder City, Nevada reunited with her two boys and starting a new life with the help and support of her aunt, father and stepmother. Marci also had Bette and Tina’s support in any way possible to help her succeed in life and her future endeavors. They were especially interested in following her career should she pursue writing and publishing children’s books that they would certainly want for Angie and Logan’s collection.
***
No doubt, Logan was the greatest gift anyone could have given them but when they’d registered with the adoption agencies to find the perfect addition for their family, Bette and Tina could not have imagined the type of bond they’d form with the birth mother. They watched Marci mature and grow into her own as she took a stance against her bigoted mother and stepfather, fought against LGBT inequities, and made selfless decisions with the best interest of the baby guiding her.
Marci wrote everything that she knew about the baby’s father Thomas Cross in the journal. She described his physical features, how they met, what attracted her to him, what he did for a living, his education, his aspirations, and their mutual love of literature. It wasn’t much of a biography but at least it gave Bette and Tina a sense of the man that had fathered their son.

Hi BAT2012,
I am so happy you returned with this story!
The edited version is well written, a lot of information about their family and what happend in the last six months.
Glad they set boundaries to their friends, especially Alice, about their privacy and not barging in whenever they wanted.
It’s sweet to read how Logan and Angie have bonded and how Angie read to Logan out of the books Bette let James find for her 10 years ago. And i love Bette as a mother!
They are ready for their move to NY and i can’t wait to read about that.
Thank you Bibi28, glad to be back.
Agree, Bette and Tina setting boundaries and putting themselves and their family first is very necessary for the success of their ‘marriage’. Logan is a bright spot in all of their lives and now the little family is complete. Except I might need to add a puppy once they move to New York.
The next chapter (13) is also a re-write from a previously posted version but I think it needed work, so hopefully you’ll agree with the changes. I’ll post it later this evening.
Thank you for reading and commenting, really love your engagement with the stories on this site. It’s what keeps us going! Take Care.
I agree with all Bibi writes. As a mom this just tugs at my heart strings. I am so happy for Tina. She’s a great mom. I am thrilled for Angie. Already the protective big sister. But I am ecstatic for Bette. This seriously makes her world complete. And Logan? He will never want for love. A complete and beautiful family. So glad you are back with this. Welcome little Logan!
Thank you Billy.
I have left it hanging for too long but glad to be back. Logan is very lucky to have this wonderful family and they are lucky to have him. The ‘REAL’ Bette and Tina were meant to have at least two kids and I think they were destined for it after season 6 of the OG, so not sure why they did the whole Marci standing them up storyline. Glad you like the direction I decided to take.
I read your comments on another story, that you haven’t been well. I wish you good health and a speedy recovery. Awaiting the next chapters of your stories when you’re ready. Take Care.
Hey BAT,
Great to see you back in the saddle with this story update.
So glad that they are a happy couple, deeply in love and finally have the entire complete family they have longed for for so long.
Like Bibi said, so nice to read that Tina and Bette had a serious convo between them & decided to put their family & their happiness first in their lives & not allow the interference from their friends? impact their lives.
I absolutely hated that in OG – all the interference & rude interruptions from Alice & the others.
You present both women as great moms, Tina being a little more of the task master when it comes to following the rules they have established. But both ladies loving their kids with all their hearts.
Glad they are still going to NYC & Tina will get her chance to shine in her new career position. Looking forward to more updates – actually the one you’ve already posted!!!!!
Thanks my friend.
Hey Collins.
Thank you. It’s good to be back writing this story.
Bette and Tina are in a really good place as a couple and with the kids. I almost regret bringing the Jenny, Jodi, Kelly conflict into the story but now I need to ride it out. I’m anxious to get through that and have them start their family focused new lives in New York and also balancing their careers..
I didn’t mean for Tina to sound like a ‘task-master’ just setting boundaries for the kids and giving them discipline so they don’t end up like spoiled brat GQ Angie. Bette was wobbling a little having Logan sleep in his room but she’s totally on board with Tina and doing what’s best for the kids. No one wants a clingy kid that is so attached they can’t leave him.
Chapter 13 is a repost. I’ve made some updates, and moved some things around in future chapters but I’ve got a few written so will try to post often.
Hope DOH is coming along, and look forward to reading your updates. Take Care.
