“Okay, on three I want you to push.” The doctor said.

“Yeah.” Bette said, gripping Tina’s hand.

“One… Two… Three!”

Bette pushed and groaned. Tina’s eyes widened, her hand felt like it was being crushed but she decided to not say anything, Bette was hurting much more, right now. Bette released a breath and fell back down on the bed.

“Good… I can see a head. Two or three more of those pushes and your baby will be here. One… two, three…”

Again, Bette pushed, groaned and squeezed as hard as she could before falling back down on the bed.

“I love you.” Tina whispered in her love’s ear. Bette smiled.

“Again: One… two… three.” Dr. Wilson said. Once again, Bette pushed with all her power. Then, there was a sound that made both women cry. A screaming baby.

“It’s a baby boy.” The Dr. said.

“Can I cut the cord?” Tina asked.

“Yes, of course.” The Dr. said. Tina got scissors in her hands and cut the cord. Then the boy was taken away by the nurses to clean and check if everything was all right.

“He is so beautiful, baby.” Tina said to Bette who was crying. “I love you so much…”

“Love you to.” Bette said. Then, a nurse walked over with a little baby in her arms and gave him to Bette. “Hi, Jay. You are so beautiful.” She said softly. Tina also told him how beautiful he was before she took Jay of Bette’s arms and laid him in a crib. She would go with the boy to a room while Bette and the Dr. did with the after birth.

———-

Tina sat in the room with Jay in her arms. She couldn’t believe how beautiful he was. He had such a dark skin, dark, curly hair. He was only half a meter tall and still, Tina knew that from now on, this boy would be her everything together with Bette. Those two people were everything in her life. The door opened and Bette was lying on a bed and was rolled in. They smiled at each other. The nurse put the bed in place and left the room. Tina stood up and brought Jay to his other Mom. She laid him in her arms and the brand new parents smiled at each other.

“Jay is so perfect.” Bette said. Tina nodded.

“He is… He is just like you.” Tina said and kissed Bette. They smiled. Jay began crying. “I think he’s hungry.”

Bette smiled. “Yep.”

Tina unfastened the hospital gown Bette was wearing and soon, Bette had Jay attached to her nipple.

“Now, he is just like you.” Bette said. Tina chuckled.

“Get your mind out of the gutter when you are feeding our child.” She said.

“Yeah, yeah….” Bette said smiling. “Oh, when he is done I’m going to sleep for two days.”

Tina chuckled. “He has to eat every few hours so… forget that.”

Bette sighed. “Well, that are the joys of parenthood I guess.”

Tina chuckled and kissed on top of her head and stroked her son’s arm. She was so happy.
