Chapter 28 – Adventures in Baby-sitting Bette Style
Seriously Tina you are only a cell phone call away. Go youre going to be late. Bette insisted as she shooed Tina out the door. Bette and Anna wave at Tina as she pulls out of the driveway and down the street. Turning to close the door Well kid its you and me for the evening. Bette says to Anna.
As Bette comes back into the house, Irene looks up What can I do to help you? Irene asks as she wants to make sure that Anna is OK.
Well I think I have everything down. I was thinking that I would feed Anna in about an hour and then see where the evening takes us from there. Her temperature seems to be OK shes not real hot. When are you leaving? Bette says as she is sizing up her situation and what she needs to do for Anna.
I have a little time before I need to leave. Irene says as she takes a seat across from Bette.
Bette takes this time to talk to Irene trying to get to know her better. Well Irene how is everything playing out for so far. Are you homesick yet?
With that last part Irene just looks to Bette and laughs You make it sound like I have never left home before. Well actually I havent but Tina has been so exceptionally nice to me I feel like I have a new family here. Dont get me wrong I miss my family but so far being here has been great. Irene eagerly passes on to Bette.
I understand what you mean when you say that Tina is the best, she really does have a heart that big. Bette says. So Irene what made you wants to come to the US to begin with? Bette says as she sits down by the pool in the shade with Anna.
Irene following Bette outside sits down next to her. I have a distant cousin who came to America when I was younger. When he returned, all he could talk about was how wonderful everything over here was. The States just sounded so exciting the big stores, the cars that everyone has, and well just how big everything is here. Well that put the idea in my head and I have had this desire every since. The au pair thing is just like a dream come true as I have training to be a teacher for kindergarteners. Granted Anna is a little younger than my future students will be but it just seems like such a good fit.

Beautiful chapter. In the beginning we don’t know why baby cries but we learn very fast. Bette is good to this and I love this chapter.
I’ve melted in a pool of mush again…SO sweet…I’ll be practicing;P…my lil’ happy dance can wait as long as you keep sending mushy and heartfelt chapters our way=D You DA BOMB Jwet!!
It’s good to see Bette in ‘mother mode’.
Does she consider herself Anna’s other mother? Does Tina??
i knew bette could be a great mom. great update, thanks.
Hey great chapter. I sense a discussion coming up between Bette and Tina about Anna and how much in her life Bette is going to be.
*sigh* *sweetness*
I’m not a parent myself, but my friends who are tell me how they “forget” any bad moments once their babies falls asleep in their arms. *Sweet*
Your painting of Bette’s experience leaves me smiling.
Thanks for starting my day so beautifully.
Wow, this was just amazing. I am glad you showed us this time with Bette and Anna. Loved it!
Jwet this beautiful story continues to please. I love the interaction with Bette and Anna…makes my biological clock tick louder. Our best to you and your inspiration.
Jwet…i can’t tell you how much i love this story….You have really captured the new and amazing connection that exists between a mother and her daughter…..Is that what Bette considers herself to be Anna’s other mom?? The way you portray it i’ll go with…..HELL YES (could be wrong though..hehe)!……Thank you for another truly wonderful chapter:)
Oh Bette is so cute with the baby and love what she and the baby have. Post soon, thank you!
That was cute! loved it as usual.
Had to comment before I went off to work. This was great. Totally loving the parental Bette. Must continue.
P.S Why must it snow in April?
Jwet that was spot on, i have a big smile on my face.
Bette has passed with flying colours she’s a natural with Anna.
Thanks for sharing.
Jwet thank you for this post. I truly enjoyed it. I remember being all panicky when babysitting haha and u’ve pictured everything perfectly here. Great chapter Jwet!
Bette seems to be quite instinctive when it comes to look after a baby…………this story is so cute
Bette is so cute with the baby. Just a question does Tina wants Anna to be in Bette s live or does she want bette to be the mother of Anna?
Maybe Anna’s all colicky because Bette didn’t burp her after the bottle. Well done…even if you didn’t put B&T in the big people bed. (yes they’d be closer in the crib, but it’d be less safe for Anna.)
cute chapter!! btw, although i’m not robbeedee, will you also give me a few chapters ahead if i were to email you?
wow.that was really really cute. i totally love the way Bette is with Anna. So f***ing cute ! keep on writing, it’s great
This chapter was sweet, and adorable. I’m happy for Bette that she was able to spend that time alone with the baby…and it reminded me why I chose to not have children! :)
Yep, I had the same experience while babysitting, but I wigged out and called the parents. Kudos to Bette for hangin’ in there. She’s going to be a great mommy.
Well done, as always Jwet.
Nice to see this side of B…
Hey Jwet I know I haven’t comment in a while , you still have me for you Beautiful Amazing Story so keep going we love it Please post soon.
Love Bette in the Mom mode. Hey, does Tina want Bette, or doest she want another Mom for Anna, Bette and the babie were cute in the bath. thanks
First, great chapter and so real. Babies are such hard work and it is great to see someone is writing about the real life experiences. I love seeing Bette,CAC director feeling out of control some with a little baby.
Now for you question. I have 2 dogs, and 2 cats. If you want to know more about me please email me at petsrn@earthlink.net. I will email you back.:-)
