The Perfect Getaway – Chapter 6
After fighting the inner war with herself, Bette took a deep breath and shut her eyes tight.
"Tina?"
It felt like a lifetime had passed before she got an answer but in reality it was only half a second. Bette’s heart was pounding.
"Yeah?"
No turning back now, here goes nothing.
"I was thinking . ." She called out though her nerves and sat up on the bed, "Maybe we should take a break from the whole baby making thing.
It took another minute for Tina to answer and when she did, her response was nervous and shaky, "What?"
Bette was scared about the response she got, even more so because Tina had yet to come out of the bathroom. Still, there was no way Bette could take back what she said now, she had to keep going.
"I don’t know . . I just kinda feel like us not getting pregnant is a sign you know? Then with everything that’s happened since we’ve been out here, with Brian. I don’t know, I started thinking. I guess . . I guess I’m just not ready to share you yet"
Bette waited for a response that never came. She was worried about what Tina was thinking and desperately tried to back up her claim.
"I know it’s selfish but I’m just trying to be honest. I’ve been thinking really hard about this and I just think that maybe I’m just not meant to have a kid. After everything my mom did-"
"Guess I should pretend that I didn’t see this then, huh?"
Bette had been focused on a spot on the floor and didn’t see Tina reenter the room. Her head immediately whipped in the direction of her wife’s voice, her eyes instantly going to the white and blue stick in her hand.
Bette didn’t have to ask what it was and judging by the look on Tina’s face, the brunette knew the result of the pregnancy test. She suddenly had the biggest urge to stuff her foot in her mouth.
"T-"
Tina flung the stick at Bette and stormed out of the room with tears streaming down her face. Bette caught the stick against her stomach and looked down at it as the hotel room door slammed shut.
Normally Bette would have chased after her wife but this time she was in complete shock at what she held in her hand. She stared down at the blue plus sign in her hands, unable to take her eyes off the symbol that completely changed any negative emotions she had.
It all seemed so clear and her claim against having a baby suddenly didn’t make any sense. Having a family with Tina was all Bette ever wanted, how could she have thought otherwise?
It was slowly sinking in and any anxiety Bette had, any animosity she had toward Brian or children in general was gone.
Tina was pregnant. They were going to have a baby.
Bette looked up expecting to see the future mother of their future child, her heart dropping when she remembered that Tina had stormed out of the room. She quickly got to her senses, picked up the hotel room key and hurried out of the room in search of her wife.
They were going to be a family and Bette planned to do whatever she had to do to make Tina see that’s what she really wanted.

Great chapter. Bette can sometimes go off the rails and this was a doozy. When she can get her mind in gear she will do and say the right thing for Tina and herself. Thanks for posting.

Sorry, I’m laughing at some of the comments. Could a vacation get any worse for our couple. I wonder what would have happened had they not had all the disruptions… just saying. Bette’s reactions are normal for someone who didn’t have both parents lovingly support her. We all have our foibles and fears. But, I’m quite sure that in the end she’ll be able to get it together for Tina’s sake. Thanks for an awesome posting!
