“The baby is right there, right there. One push, please,” he pleaded.
Bette screamed again.
“Oh, Lord God have mercy!” Candace howled from the hallway.
Kit’s bottom lip trembled, and she felt a set of fresh tears coming on.
“Please, Bette, please,” she coaxed, and grabbed Bette’s hand.
“Just try.”
It hurt in every place on her body. Her stomach, back, down between her legs, the tips of her toes, and who knew that the hair on her head had sensation, because that hurt, too.
But Bette finally let loose, squeezed her eyes shut, and pushed with all her might, and six pounds three ounces of baby boy came shooting out of her, taking the doctor completely off guard. He would have missed, and Marcus would have landed on the floor, but at the very last second he caught him by his ankles.
Candace couldn’t take it anymore she had been pacing that hall for what seemed like hours, and she had counted her fingers the number of times Bette had cried out, and when she ran out of fingers she stared counting toes: and now she was counting the tiny lines that represented the seconds on the large black clock on the wall and was down to the last line when Bette’s scream tore through her.
Candace stormed past the nurse’s station and knocked the heavy-set male orderly aside with one blow and burst through the doors cussing and accusing the doctors of allowing Bette to remain in pain for so long just because she was a lesbian.
“Straight women get shots and pills, all kinds of things to dull the pain.”
Security was on their way down to remove Candace from the delivery room and the building by the time Kit started screaming, “Candace, calm down, please.”
There was a chorus going on in the room, everyone shouting and yelling, Candace lunging at the doctor, one small nurse crouching in the corner with a scalpel in her hand for protection, while the other nurse stood in the middle of all the mayhem, waving her arms.
Bette, calm now, looked down into her son’s newborn face, and seeing that child, barely three minutes old, eyes wide open and laughing, everything else dropped away.
Bette smiled at the memory.

I realized reading this, that you’ve taken a back to what we knew before, but have added a bit more. Great job. Love the way this keeps pulling us in more and more. Forget Henry and Jamaica, Tina should go alone and Bette should be there.
Love how you take up from the present to the past and back. Henry is still a numbnut. and Tina a little bit wackie. Bette seems to be Just Bette. thanks
Agree whoheartedly with coop and bettyvhall. Gald to see this story back. Thanks.
Glad to see u started up this fic again. It is truely remembered and was wondered about. I hope you continue u it until the end this time. I am going to make the same comment I made when I first read this fic, and it is the same as coop. Forget Henry, sorry Candace died, but it is time for Bette and Tina to get back together and what better place than Jamaica. Let them both find HEALING and LOVE again!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
Is it me or does this Tina seem a little…I don’t know (shaking my head) can’t put my finger on the word I am looking for, but she just doesn’t seem herself. I can’t tell if she actually is in love with Henry and happy with him, or if she is just trying to convince herself of that because she is still in love with Bette. That whole part about her being addicted to Henry confused me. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks!

It seems to me that Tina is trying to convince herself that she loves Henry, and she really just doesn’t want to go through another failed relationship. I don’t know, she seems a bit off right now. I’m glad Bette found a life and a family and contentment, but, somehow, I can’t help wishing they will find each other at some point.

Thanks for all the recaps…question…If Henry isn’t cheating…is he dying…I mean something is up. Maybe he can meet Candace in another life (I know that was cruel…but hey that’s me…lol) Tina does seem not all there but that must be the guilt she has for almost destroying Bette’s life…for what she did to her she dosen’t deserve to have memories of Bette…if she left Bette for Henry that was her decision we have to live with that…but she stripped Angelica out of Bette’s life…that was uncalled for. Keep posting.
“Tina you have brought Bette to bed with us for years. She has been in OUR life’s to long.” This one says it all, you actually can feel it when you’re lovers body is with you but her mind is elsewhere. Loved this story then, love it even more now. Thanks for sharing it again.
Just as good as the 1st time around. Tina needs to wake up and catch a clue; when they start acting like Henry is, it means the honeymoon has been OVER!!
I hope Tina and Bette both can be happy again a some point. I so love this story. Thanks PPS
