Chapter 142

Dr. Wilson smiled at Bette and Tina as she helped Bette slide down on the ultrasound table. “Oh good God…we’re out of condoms again! I hope you don’t mind the glove.”

Bette laughed as Dr. Wilson pulled the surgical glove over the ultrasound probe. “Still celebrating Thanksgiving I see.” Bette raised her eyebrow at Dr. Wilson.

Dr. Wilson looked at the probe and burst out laughing. It looked like a turkey. “Excuse me one minute.” Dr. Wilson spoke through tears. She left the room.

“Bette…don’t even. I know what you’re thinking…don’t even say that to her when she gets back in here.” Tina grinned at Bette.

Bette laughed. “TINA…now… would I make a ***** joke at a time like this?”

“Yes you would…I know exactly where your mind went Turkey…rooster…*****. I’m inside your mind Porter.”

“Well – I have news for you T. Yours went there too! Right to the same place…turkey…rooster….*****!”

“Good point Babe…but please…please don’t.”

“You are absolutely no fun Kennard!”

“Gee…that wasn’t the impression I got last time we….”

“That’s different Sweetie! “

Dr. Wilson came back into the room. She spoke through giggles. “Ahem…ok….Bette…ummmm…..”

Bette stared at Dr. Wilson. “Tina told me to spare you the ***** jokes!”

Tina rolled her eyes and blushed as Dr. Wilson burst out laughing again. “Bette…you’re too damn funny! Tina please lighten up here….I’m beginning to feel like you’re family! *****! HA! How unprofessional of me.”

Tina burst out laughing. “Totally unprofessional! Bette please…don’t say anything else or I’ll wet my pants.”

“Ok you two – are you ready to get a look at the triplets?” Dr. Wilson winked at Bette and Tina. “You know …I left the room before because you had me to the point where I was going to pee in my pants. God…I am so unprofessional.”

“Totally…I wouldn’t have you any other way.” Bette winked at Dr. Wilson.

“Bette…that’s where I draw the line…you won’t HAVE me at all.” Dr. Wilson winked back at Bette.

“Ok you two…obviously Bette has gotten you to stoop to her level. She’s my sixth child you know!” Tina shook her head and smiled.

“Thanks T…I love you too!” Bette looked at the probe in Dr. Wilson’s hand and burst out laughing. “So…come on doc…aren’t you gonna….”

“Right…ok..are you ready Bette….?”

“As ready as I’m ever going to be…I guess.”

Dr. Wilson inserted the probe. Bette opened her mouth to speak.

“Shut up Bette! Don’t say it….I know exactly what you’re going to say to Dr. Wilson. Please just shut up!”

Bette looked at Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson’s eyes met hers. “GOD YOU’RE GOOD!”

Dr. Wilson burst out laughing. “I hear that all the time!”

Tina let out a heavy sigh. “Bette…you’ve ruined our OB/GYN!!!!!!!!”

“Ok…let’s take a look here. Dr. Wilson navigated the probe. Are you ok Bette? Comfortable?”

“I told you you were good! I’m enjoying this – a lot!”

Tina rolled her eyes.

“Ok…there’s your little girl.”

Bette and Tina stared at the screen. “Look at her Baby…oh my God!”

“And here’s the little boy we saw before.”

Bette grinned an evil grin. “Prove he’s a boy!”

Tina looked Bette in the eyes. She kissed her passionately. “Bette…please shut up!”

Bette was breathless and responded with an Ivy League. “Huh?”

“Ok and here’s the little guy we didn’t see before.”

“Oh God Tina…look at him…he’s so tiny!”

Tears formed in Tina’s eyes. “He’s a little peanut! Oh my God…look at him.”

“A PEE – NUT HUH?” Bette grinned at Tina.

A tear rolled down Tina’s cheek. “Bette…please….”

“I’m sorry T…I’ll stop now. Come here.” Bette pulled Tina toward her and kissed her. She whispered to her. “I’m sorry Sweetie.”

“No …no…Baby…don’t be sorry. Oh God – look at them. How do they look Dr. Wilson? I mean developmentally.”

“They look fine…right where they should be. I think the little guy may just be a little guy. He may catch up though.”

Bette looked intently at the screen. “I can’t believe there are three babies in there…in me!”

“Believe it Bette.” Dr. Wilson smiled a warm smile. “You need to take it easy…if you get tired…please listen to you’re body…don’t over do it. You two can continue to….” Dr. Wilson’s voice dropped off.

Bette looked at her with concern. “We can continue to…?”

“You can have a normal ***** life…”

“Our ***** life is far from normal!”

“Bette…geez!”

“No …nothing out of the ordinary…ummmmm…if you get uncomfortable…stop. At some point you may have to refrain from….”

Bette’s eyes flew wide open. “NO… NOT THAT!!!!”

“Bette…we’re talking down the road…months from now. You may not even feel like you want to….”

“Oh.. yeah…BETTE…HA..not wanting to….this I gotta see! Oh…sorry Babe!”

“Everything looks great. Remember to take it easy. If you continue to work…please rest throughout the day. Try to keep stress to a minimum. See you two back in two weeks…make your appointment on the way out. Take care. And thank you for the entertainment Bette!” Dr. Wilson left the room.

Tina leaned down and kissed Bette. “Baby…I love you so much….triplets…they’re so cute…beautiful…like their mama.”

“Hey Tina…let’s get going…I want to go home and pick out names. Then maybe we can…before I need to REFRAIN!”

“Ok Baby…I’ll help you get dressed…”

“Oh no you won’t…you do that and we’ll be here the rest of the day. You go make the appointment and I’ll get dressed and meet you out there.”

“Ok Babe.” Tina gave Bette another kiss and left to make the next appointment.
