Tina:  I thought for sure she was going to take Tessa with her… I guess she is tired…

Bette:  it must be her Friday too… I wonder how many times she get woken up every night…

******* 

DR:  like I said you doing a great job… just continue with what you have been doing… any questions…

Bette:  I think we asked just about every question when Tina was pregnant… I know I’m going into my seventh month, but I think I am a lot bigger than Tina was at the same time…

Dr:  everyone is different… you are carrying all in the front… 

Bette:  do you think this baby will be bigger than Tessa… my mom told me I was over 9 pounds…

Dr:  I won’t know until, the ninth month… then I can give you a better answer… you were over 9 pounds…  don’t worry about it… you probably had the extra weight in length… Tessa was the perfect size baby… in the 8 pound range…

Tina:  I tried telling her that… 

Bette:  I know… well we will see soon enough… and besides what’s a pound or two…

All three women just smile… they all knew that answer but no one was going to say it…

**** 

Tina:  I told mom and dad we would meet them at “The Planet” for dinner…  and I’m sure the girls will most likely join us…

Bette:  that’s fine… 

Tina:  don’t worry it will be a short night… I see your already yawning…

Bette:  I have been feeling good… but tonight I’m afraid if I close my eyes… that’s it, I’ll wake up and it will be  tomorrow…

Tina:  I know the feeling… it’s been a long week all around… I am going through this pregnancy with you and Jill… so trust me… we eat and run…

Everyone was there… and again as soon as Bette and Tina walked in… they had a crowd around them… all wanting to see the baby… and Tessa loved the attention… she gave them all a toothless smile… and of course Kit was the first to grab her… Tasha knew “The Planet” was a safe place for Kit… so she let her have her fun with her niece…
