Six Months – chapter re-edited
James and Sonny set up a rented giant playpen to keep the babies together in a safe space where they were entertained by the adults’ taking turns with music, singing, clapping, peek-a-boo games and soapy bubbles. The older kids played on Angie’s swing set and when they got bored with the outdoors, they went inside to the media room where Bette set up a couple of age-appropriate board games and fun activities.
When it was time to blow out the six candles Logan and Angie did it together. Naturally several cameras captured the memorable photo that every parent has in their photo album of the baby grabbing a piece of birthday cake and stuffing it in his mouth.
The cake was a zoo animal themed birthday cake featuring monkeys. Not only was the monkey Logan’s favorite stuffed animal but ‘Monkeys go on Strike’ was the first book read to him.
It was almost ten years earlier when Bette found out Tina was pregnant the first time, that she sent James on the hunt for the two most treasured children’s books from her childhood. It was a challenge to find the old books written forty years prior, but not surprisingly James delighted her when he showed up at the CAC with original copies of ‘Monkeys go on Strike’ and ‘Aardvark makes Pasta.’
Sadly, Tina lost the baby, but Bette kept the books. She read them to Angie the first six months when she stayed at home with her daughter and over the years, they became favorites of Angie’s too. It brought tears to Bette’s eyes when Angie pulled them from her bookshelf the first time and read to Logan. She wrote about it in his journal as something else she wanted to memorialize.
***
At the end of the evening Bette and Tina bid goodbye to their guests except for James, Lisa, Suzie, Sonny and Kit. James and Sonny dismantled and packed up the playpen then loaded it into James’ truck to be returned to the rental place the following day. Lisa and Bette cleaned the outdoor kitchen and grill and loaded the dishwasher while Kit, Angie and Suzie were charged with putting the games away and straightening the media room.

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.
