I relax as she massages me deeper, “How many years do I have until I have to assemble something huge, like a swing set or a pony?”
She leans over, brushes my hair aside and kisses my neck. “Thank you for doing that for me.” Then another kiss, “How’s your attention getting going? Feeling more appreciated?”
<!–nextpage–>I roll over, “No, I really do have a catch in my muscle. Are you sure this water birth is a good idea?” I press her.
“It’s supposed to be really easy on me and the baby. You didn’t read the stuff I emailed you, did you?”
“I looked at the pictures, obviously air brushed, and read, yeah, I read it. But please send it to me in French from now on.” I touch her moon shaped belly as she lies beside me. “What are we going to do about me missing so many birthing classes? Wait! Did you take Helena to yours?” I feel my temper rising.
“Bette, don’t start.”
“You did, didn’t you? Goddammit!”
“You saw how she was. She just came or showed up. Anyway, you’re going to be with me when our baby is born, not Helena.”
“You are so fucking right about that.” I lean up on my elbows and glare at her.
“Would you please quit? Just quit.” She pushes me back flat.
“Will you quit?” I demand.
“Quit what?”
“For the love of God! Quit fucking Helena Peabody! It makes me nuts.” I raise my voice at Tina.
“Already quit. It’s over.” She smooths her hand over my chest, “After the ultrasound, her showing up there…”
“Incredibly possessive and presumptuous.” I finish.
Tina rolls her eyes at me. “Bette, do I look like I want to argue about Helena? Should I counter and list her good qualities? Her remarkable qualities?”
“God! No! But your list would be brief.” I lie back satisfied.
She looks down at me and shakes her head, then moves to leave. “Wait, I’ve stopped. Look, come back.” I pull her toward me. “It’s just that throughout the day I imagine all kinds of scenarios where she drops dead. This morning it was Fugu poisoning.”
Tina laughs at me. “She’s not too fond of you either, Bette.”
“Nobody could hate her as much as I do.”

They have a very complicated relationship. Turmoil and contradictions. I love your writing but not exactly sure of what’s going on. Bette’s anger reaches a Hurricane 5 level and then dissipates. Tina is a passive-aggressive personality. But they really love one another.
I love your writing and I can understand Bette.Thank you and PPS.
I’m starting to relax again as she massages me. “How many years do I have until I have to assemble something huge, like a swing set or a pony?”
Love the humor. Thanks for the post.
This had me laughing my head off. It is so well written!
It was interesting how you gave insight to Tina dating both Helena and Bette at the same time. I thought she was being deliberately cruel.
well, well, well… fascinating to say the least. Bette picks someone so unlike Tina to have an affair with and Tina picks someone similar to Bette to have an affair with. Bette’s affair has some discretion while Tina throws Helena in Bette’s face time and time again.
I loved each of their thought patterns when they were together. I had to laugh as they are making love but each traveling to other places in their minds. Tina knows Bette so well but Bette is just so self-possessed that she forgets about Tina as they are making love and instead focuses in on Helena.
Relationships are crazy and take so much work to be successful. It’s a wonder they made it.
Bette going from zero to 360 – I get. Dealing with Helena professionally then at home has got to suck. And i’m not sure Tina did all she could to ease Bette’s concerns about Helena. Thanks for sharing Blackbird. I’ve got some catching up to do but I look forward to it.
Very good even had a giggle. Just keot on reading well done
First off I will not be thinking of Helena if I had the chance to have sex with Tina that’s for damn sure, but I understand where Bette and anger and insecurities comes from after watching the one she love purposely parade this woman around in front of her for so long…these two are wicked and I love it!
Some rainy day polishing on this story improved it with a few new great photos I discovered to illustrate it. Please enjoy, it’s an amusing story as Bette attempts to assemble Tina’s home birthing tub and plan for another seismic shift in Life with the birth of their child.
I had forgotten Shane and the assembling of the birthing tank! Priceless!
Loving my re-reads!
