“Am I going to have a little brother like Suzie?”
“We don’t know yet if it will be a brother or a sister, but Momma and I are going to visit the doctor in a few weeks, and we’ll be able to see the baby.”
“Can you get pictures? Suzie showed me pictures of Joshua in her mom’s tummy.”
“Yes. Dr. Wilson will take some pictures for us and the next time we go we’ll take you with us so you can see the baby too and then we’ll find out if you are getting a brother or a sister.”
“I want to show grandma the pictures.”
“After the doctor visit, we’ll go see grandma OK? Do you want to call her on the phone now and tell her the news?”
“Yea.”

Angie tells Peggy
Bette gets the phone and dials Peggy’s phone number then gives the phone to Angie.
“Hello?”
“Hi Grandma.”
“Hello dear. How are you?”
“I’m good. Guess what Grandma?”
“What is it sweetheart?”
“I’m going to be a big sister”.
“You are? That’s wonderful news Angie. Are you happy to be getting a little brother or sister?”
“I am. Momma says I can see the baby in Mommy’s tummy.”
“That’s right, and the doctor will take pictures for you. I’m happy to hear the good news sweetie.”
“Momma says we can show you the pictures after the doctor visit.”
“I would love that. I can’t wait to see them. Listen sweetie let me speak to your Momma for a minute OK. I love you.”
“OK Grandma. I love you too. Bye Grandma.”
“Bye bye Angel.”
Angie hands the phone to Bette. “Hey Grandma. Congratulations!!”
“Sweetheart that is wonderful news. I’m so happy for us. Angie seems excited.”
“She is. She’s going to be the best big sister in the world.” Angie is beaming at her Momma when she hears this.
“How’s Tina doing?”
“She’s doing OK but she’s having morning sickness with this one. She didn’t have much of that with Angie. The doctor made some recommendations of things we can do to help curb the vomiting. We’re having an ultrasound next month and Angie wants to be sure that you get pictures so you can start your ‘Grandma Brag Book’.”

Thanks for posting BAT.
Always pleased to read a continuation of one of your stories.
I think you are not necessarily over ‘anti’ about anyone as always ‘pro’ Bette and I can handle that although in the Show I did like Helena coming back as a ‘goodie’!
Look forward to more posts to take our minds off the stark reality of the real word.
Things escalating here in UK and I am in Isolation due to having a cough and being 76 years of age. Half way through my ‘time’ then into 12 weeks of no ‘social’ interaction and had all my ‘social groups’ cancelled by e-mail yesterday.

Hi SG
This virus has certainly turned our world upside down. Sorry you are isolated but it’s probably best that you minimize exposure. Be safe, and take care of yourself. I’ll be thinking of you.
Thanks for helping me understand Tina in this chapter. I wasn’t a fan of Helena and especially when she went from the enemy to everyone’s best friend after what she did to Bette. She deliberately ruined someone’s life.
I didn’t get far enough in this story to decide her fate so we’ll see how it goes.
I did not remember that Bette had not talked to Tina about her suicide attempt. That was another story in which they had discussed it. I am having a hard time with Tina perception of Peggy’s disowning Helena. Peggy has disowned her daughter financially not as her daughter. Peggy has not and still acknowledges Helena as her daughter. She has just drawn the line in the sand by denying Helena access to any resources to carry on her pathological life style. It would appear that Peggy would be fine on visiting Helena if invited, talking to Helena and communicating for the purposes of carrying on a relationship. But in any incident by design or accident in which Helena was deceiving or harming another individual, Peggy would not go to her aid. As she is currently in prison, all Helena would need to do is phone or write..
To me cutting someone off financially is does not mean a totally disowning of your child. If you cut them off financially, announced to the world that they were no longer her child, denied they ever existed , refused every and all communication ever, then that would be disowning a child. This is not what Peggy has done. Tina needs to understand this. Peggy has not removed her love, she has simply removed her tools of destructive behavior.
Bette needs to have a counseling session with Emma and then talk to Tina. If she needs Emma present for her to tell Tina the devastation that Helena brought on Bette and her well being, then she need to do so. Tina is just trying to be the supporter of the underdog and is refusing to see just how devastating and devious Helena has been. Tina just needs to understand that Helena has harmed Tina as well and she would not stand behind her if the roles were reversed. Alice came really close to this in her conversation.
Good chapter…. let’s get Tina on a more reasonable opinion of Helena and of Peggy.
Well said Martha, i agree 💯 with you 👏
Amazing chapter!
Thanks for posting BAT, it’s always a pleasure to read your stories !
I also agree with Martha, Bette MUST explain to Tina through Emma all the devastation she felt and especially the suicide attempt !
I’ve always wondered why no stories were ever written about that scene in the pool ??
