Window of Opportunity
Chapter 72
Bette
As I woke up, I have no idea what time Catherine and Sam made it back last night or if they even did. I slept soundly trying to erase all thoughts from my head and enjoy having Tina wrapped in my arms. I woke to find her still sleeping and snoring slightly. Regardless to how many times I tell her she snores, she swears that’s not possible and I must be mistaken. One day, I will have to record her snoring so she knows it’s not just my imagination. Hell, sharing a bed with her and Angie sometimes is too much. They both snore and Angie practices her gymnastics while asleep but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Under any other circumstances, the day before my wedding I would have a lot to do. Today though was about Tina. If Dr. Wilson said that she did not need to be hospitalized then today would be a day of pampering her and ensuring she rested and ate. If she needed to be hospitalized, today would be a day of comfort. If the wedding takes place tomorrow, I’ll wing it which shouldn’t be too hard. My vows are written, my outfit ready and Shane’s available to do my hair and makeup. Anything else either gets done or doesn’t. Making sure that Tina and our babies are well is my main priority.
I got up and went into the bathroom to take a shower. The least I could do to start the morning was to make some breakfast and get Angie ready for daycare. I was deep in thought of what the day would bring to us when I felt a draft and opened my eyes. My love stood there totally naked with a look on her face questioning whether she could join me. There was no need to think and I moved to make room for her. She came into my arms and we held one another. It was such an unusual shower for us. Neither of us was thinking of sex. We were there to be with one another and to prepare for what the day would bring us.
I washed her hair and she washed mine. We kissed. We talked. We cried. When we were done, we were ready to face the world or at least we thought we were. We both dried off and got dressed before going out into the kitchen. Catherine and Sam were sitting at the table with Angie who was already dressed and eating. I could get used to the in laws being around.

the silent reader in me just came out of hiding.The last part almost made me cry.I can’t wait for the wedding.
me too…beautiful
Awww… Have I told you lately, NAG, how I absolutely, freakin’ love this story? I don’t know how your writing can get any better and I can’t thank you enough for the love and joy you poured out in this chapter and all the 71 previous ones. I wholeheartedly agree with these lines => “The ceremony was just a way for us to express our love before our family and friends. As much as I thought I needed it in the past to validate us, laying there touching where our babies were growing and basking in the love that she was radiating, I knew I didn’t need that validation. Every day as we grew as a couple validated how right our relationship was and how right we were for one another.” The wedding will cap the many highlights of these soul mates’ beautiful, triumphant love story. I think all of us will be wiping away happy tears by the time we hear/read their wedding vows. *Thanks a bunch, NAG!* And Shane’s secret fondness for Winnie the Pooh and friends made me LMAO! :>
Well, I am officially a captive audience for any story with your name on it! That was absolutely beautiful from beginning to end. I will never tire of this story or the way you write it. When it’s over…I will officially be in mourning!
I agree with everything Dainty wrote. Thank you for this beautiful chapter (as I wipe a tear away). The love and devotion shown by everyone is beautiful. I also love how Tina always leaves a note, and the necklace was too precious (wipe tear away again). I cannot wait to see how you write the wedding sequence and their vows, I know that it will be breathtaking!! Again, thank you for keeping this story alive and giving us what Ilene has never been able to do; the perfect love story of our favorite couple.
This story just keeps getting better with each word you write. I believe I can speak for all of that reads this story that we’re so happy that you love “our girls” and that love shows in this brilliantly written story of them, their family and their very deep and devoted love for one another. Thank you so much for posting all the chapters that you have this weekend. It has been a wonderful treat to discover each chapter the last few days. You showed all the love, care , concern and devotion for “our girls” by everyone and it is so wonderful to read and is a beautiful tribute to deep and everlasting love in our community. Thank you. Hugs and kisses to baby G. Post when you can.

L,once again you have outdone yourself. First and formost I have to say “I knew you liked Shane and could see her soft side” haha. Love all the careing from the fam and you well know but laughed when Peggy made her apparence, in such Paggy fasion. I my heart I know you will always let the girls be ok, but with those twists and turns ya can shake us up. Thank you for the concern of my health, I have little time for recovery so know that I’m good and wrecking things daily, but fixed a lot of things at the habitat house yesterday, it’s comming along nicely.Ok, I’m looking over at a minilla folder, and thinking were almost in the same place w/If you never say anything, NAG, love both but this is a part of my life now so please ring those wedding bells. I got tissue and am ready. Tell mom thanks for cooking, it keeps you writing, Good day today and always. Md
the conversation with bette and sam brought tears to my eyes.. sam was so loving to bette and showed no judgement about the past… wow. love how catherine knows when to step in and how not to overstep the boundries…Peggy is just too much,lol. bette and shane did me in, i can imagine how the rest of them are gonna be when they get their gifts… :)PPS
ooow , wonderful!
Love this the love that is being shown at both houses. Tina knows that Bette loves her completly. thanks
This chapter was a happy emotional one for me. All the love shown by every person in their family was enlightening. It just goes to show that you do not have to be blood related to share a wonderful family. I was extremely happy that you have included Tina’s mom, dad and biological father. Hope that the G man allowed you to get some well deserved rest.
Beautiful chapter it brought tears to my eyes I can’t wait to read the next one. Post when you get a chance.
Yay it’s almost time!
