Chapter 93

Bette dozed off but not for long. She got up and opened the door to Tina’s hospital room. Then she got back into bed with Tina. She watched Tina while she slept. All she could think about was how beautiful she looked – like an angel. Bette studied Tina’s face – perfect – just perfect!

One of the babies started to cry. Bette got out of bed and walked over to the them. Although it was now proving easy to tell who was who, she did not recognize which baby went with which cry. It was Dylan this time. Bette picked him up and cradled him in her arms. The crying stopped. “So big boy – what’ll it be – a diaper change – or the BOOB thing – are you hungry little guy?” Bette walked over to the changing table and put Dylan down on it. She opened up his diaper. “Yup – see that Dylan…you need a new diaper…let’s change you. Ok – here’s my disclaimer. Listen up son of mine – I have never changed a diaper before in my entire life – I will not be held responsible for damage caused by me in the process of doing this to you.” Bette smiled. She grabbed some wipes and a new diaper and prepared to change Dylan. She removed Dylan’s old diaper and tossed it into the garbage. She leaned over Dylan preparing to use a wipe when he peed straight up into the air and right into her face. “Gee Dylan – were you aiming or what? I still love you – even if you did pee on me.” Bette chuckled quietly as she used a baby wipe to clean her face. “You do know that this cannot continue – right?” Bette changed Dylan’s diaper and then picked him up and held him. Taylor was still sound asleep and so was Tina.

Bette walked over to the window with Dylan in her arms. “Ok – see that out there – that’s the outside world. Sometimes it’s scary – and sometimes people want more from you than you can possibly give them…I don’t need to bother you with all of this now.” Bette gently kissed Dylan’s cheek and then held him close to her. She rocked him in her arms until he fell asleep. Bette whispered. “I love you Dylan Matthew Porter-Kennard…don’t ever forget that. You’ll always be my little boy…always!” Bette put Dylan back down so he could sleep.

Just then Taylor woke up and cried. Bette picked her up and held her. The crying stopped. Bette whispered to Taylor. “Hey – my cute little girl – I love you Taylor. How about we check out your diaper too? “I knew it – you need to be changed too. And I just bet you’ll never pee in my face!” Bette changed Taylor’s diaper and the picked her up and held her. “You’re so beautiful – like your mommy.” Taylor fell asleep in Bettes arms. Bette put her bsck down to sleep. Bette got back into bed with Tina.

“Baby – did you go somewhere?” Tina was confused – from being so exhausted.

“I just changed the babies…” Bette was very proud of herself. “Oh yeah and Dylan peed in my fsce. He’s a keeper!”

“You changed the babies and noone got hurt? WOW amazing Baby! So Dylan has a good aim huh?”

“Expert aim – I’m glad my mouth was closed.”

“I’m so proud of you – noone died!”

“Shut you T…” Bette’s tone was playful.

Just then Dylan began crying. “That’s Dylan!” Bette knew without even looking. “I know his cry – that’s him! Bet he’s hungry…” Bette picked up Dylan and brought him over to Tina. Tina placed him at her breast.

“Oh God…am I going to melt everytime I see you feeding one of them? I get all misty and weird…It’s just so beautiful – you with them – doing that. Absolutely beautiful Tina…I love you….I kind of wish I could do it.”

“Well – you COULD hold me while I hold them and feed them. That way you’re involved in what I’m doing. How’s that Baby?”

“Yeah ok.” Bette got into bed with Tina and had her sit between her legs. Tina leaned back into her. “This feels nice T…very nice.” Bette wrapped her arms around Tina and held her. “Very nice…” Bette buried her face in Tina’s hair. “I love you so much T…so very much…”

Like clockwork – when Dylan fell asleep – Taylor began crying. Bette got up and put Dylan down to sleep and then handed Taylor to Tina. She got back into bed behind Tina. She held her while she fed Taylor. “I think I have breast envy T!”

“What – what do you mean?”

“I really wish I could feed them.”

“Well – you can have the next Baby!”

“I don’t know if I want to do it THAT bad!”

“Think about it – and you know what? I think we should reserve some of number 69′s stuff in case we decide to do this again.”

“I think that’s a great idea T. On Monday I’ll go to the Cryobank and buy it all!”

“So – we’re going to have more huh?” Tina seemed a little surprised.

“Yeah – why not?”

At that moment there was a knock at the door and Shane walked into the room. “Oh my God! What a beautiful site! Do you want me to leave you guys alone for a little while?”

Tina looked up at Shane and smiled. “Hey Shane! Can you give us ten minutes?”

“Sure – I’ll come back in ten!”

Shane turned around and left the room.

Ten minutes later she returned in the company of Jenny, Tim, Dana and Alice.
