    Author Notes:

    Bette deals with haters, Dana tries to explain, Shane and Carmen agree to disagree, Helena reaches out while another flips out.

     

    Angelica had calmed considerably.  Bette pushed herself out of the bed, placed the emptied four ounce bottle on the table, then tossed a cloth diaper over her shoulder, picked Angelica up, and began to burp her.  As she was gently patting her daughter’s back, she saw Dr. McPherson walking down the hall with Roberta Collie, the social worker.

     

    “Ms. Collie?  Roberta?”   Bette walked to the door and waited for the two to walk back down to her.

     

    “Hello, Bette,” Roberta Collie looked her up and down.  “Here we are in the middle of the day and you’re here.  Still no job possibilities?”

     

    “I’m not looking right now.  I have the luxury of not taking just any job.  I’m waiting for the right one.”  God, the woman started on her without a breath after the greeting.  “Are you here about our case?”

     

    “Yes.  Today is the first day that Dr. McPherson was able to meet with me.  He told me that you’re having some financial problems.”

     

    “No, not at all.  Absolutely not.  I’m having an insurance issue that I’m working out.”

     

    Roberta glanced down at the floor, somehow conveying just how bored she was with Bette and her explanations.   She looked up, but looked through Bette, not at her.  “I don’t believe in beating around the bush.  This second parent adoption is just not going well for you.  This is an unusual case.”

     

    “It is.”  Bette jumped on this statement.  “See it as such.  If you’ll just give me some time to show you how we’ve been working on being a family….”

     

    Roberta interrupted as she glanced into Tina’s room.  “More friends of Tina’s?  Still not a man in sight.”  

     

    Bette turned and looked at Theresa and Stephanie who were standing in the room watching and listening to this conversation.  “Tina’s mother and sister, here from North Carolina.”

     

    Roberta walked into the room, held out her hand and introduced herself.  “Roberta Collie, the case worker for the second parent adoption of the Kennard baby.”

     

    Stephanie looked at Bette in surprise.

     

    “The State of California requires this, but as you know, I’ve been parenting Angelica this whole time and Tina and I see her as our child, together.”  Bette had a sinking feeling.

    1. portia, really thankyou. You take as long as you need to tell us your version of S3. Your Dana is true to other seasons and I loved her little pitstop!! Couldn’t Theresa be Bette’s supporter with the adoption process, being a blood relative wouldn’t she be offered Angelica before social services took her?? Keep steph away, sounds a bit homophobe…I like seeing the snipits of Alpha Bette..and the struggling one made me cry. Portia, there is so much in your story and this chapter, thankyou for giving us readers so much to digest we are so very lucky to have you posting again…pls don’t stop…

    3. If I haven’t commented on your story in previous post, I’m sorry. This is so heartfelt and moving. Also, you brought the funny in this chapter with Alice and her Hermes Scarf and Bette with the wallpaper money. I think I’ve read a Tibette story of yours before ages ago on Ralst’ Passion & Perfection. Thank you so much for sharing your talent – and for writing lots when you write. I love the long stories.

    4. I just started this chapter. Theresa Kennard has invaded B&T’s home. Why am I getting a flashback to that story where Vanessa Redgrave loses her longtime companion and her family comes and takes everything from her, including their house? Please, tell me I am delusional…back to your wonderful story…

    5. This story has it all: length, breadth and depth. It’s a winnah, baby! They need to spare us the formalities and just hand you your Fanfic Award right now! I wish I could comment in depth, but I feel too shallow right now….Thanks!
