“That’s for sure. Well we look forward to seeing all of you then in a couple of months.”
“Bye Aunt Tina. Bye Angie.”
“Bye Bye.”
“Bye you guys. Bye Aunt Winnie.”
“Bye sweetie. We’ll see you soon. Tina. Congratulations again. I’m sure Bette is thrilled. I bet Peggy is too.”
“Yes. We all are. Take care and we’ll talk again soon. Bye.”

Bette tells David
“Hey Auntie.”
“David. How’s the new daddy doing?”
“Doing great. We’ve got our routine down. Katie is sleeping through the night so it’s not so crazy. Gina loves being home with her, but she’ll be going back to work at least part time in the next couple of months. We wanted to wait until she was at least 6 months before we put her in daycare.”
“That’s good. It’s what we did with Angie, but we started taking her a few times a month for half-days at first just to get her acclimated. I’m not sure if we’ll do the same thing this time.”
“What do you mean this time? Are you guys pregnant?”
“We are. Tina is about six weeks.”
“Six weeks – it happened on the cruise to Panama? See, and you were giving me a hard time about bringing back something other than souvenirs from our Europe vacation. I guess sometimes a change of scenery works miracles hey.”
“Maybe so. We’re thrilled. You know it took Tina so long to get pregnant last time that we weren’t really expecting it to happen so soon.”
“Well I think it’s great. Katie will have another little cousin to play with. In another year they can start hanging out together for holidays and such.”
“Yeah it’ll be great. I’m looking forward to it. I’m surprised Kit hasn’t talked you and Gina into moving to LA yet.”
“She’s working on us, especially now that it’s wintertime. Every time she calls, we the weather report. We’re not ready to make any changes right now but we’ll see how it goes.”
“I just spoke to James. He’s interviewing for a job here in LA, so he might be moving his family from Monterey in the next few months. I know you two got along. When you are here for the holidays you can hang out more.”

Thanks for posting BAT.
Always pleased to read a continuation of one of your stories.
I think you are not necessarily over ‘anti’ about anyone as always ‘pro’ Bette and I can handle that although in the Show I did like Helena coming back as a ‘goodie’!
Look forward to more posts to take our minds off the stark reality of the real word.
Things escalating here in UK and I am in Isolation due to having a cough and being 76 years of age. Half way through my ‘time’ then into 12 weeks of no ‘social’ interaction and had all my ‘social groups’ cancelled by e-mail yesterday.

Hi SG
This virus has certainly turned our world upside down. Sorry you are isolated but it’s probably best that you minimize exposure. Be safe, and take care of yourself. I’ll be thinking of you.
Thanks for helping me understand Tina in this chapter. I wasn’t a fan of Helena and especially when she went from the enemy to everyone’s best friend after what she did to Bette. She deliberately ruined someone’s life.
I didn’t get far enough in this story to decide her fate so we’ll see how it goes.
I did not remember that Bette had not talked to Tina about her suicide attempt. That was another story in which they had discussed it. I am having a hard time with Tina perception of Peggy’s disowning Helena. Peggy has disowned her daughter financially not as her daughter. Peggy has not and still acknowledges Helena as her daughter. She has just drawn the line in the sand by denying Helena access to any resources to carry on her pathological life style. It would appear that Peggy would be fine on visiting Helena if invited, talking to Helena and communicating for the purposes of carrying on a relationship. But in any incident by design or accident in which Helena was deceiving or harming another individual, Peggy would not go to her aid. As she is currently in prison, all Helena would need to do is phone or write..
To me cutting someone off financially is does not mean a totally disowning of your child. If you cut them off financially, announced to the world that they were no longer her child, denied they ever existed , refused every and all communication ever, then that would be disowning a child. This is not what Peggy has done. Tina needs to understand this. Peggy has not removed her love, she has simply removed her tools of destructive behavior.
Bette needs to have a counseling session with Emma and then talk to Tina. If she needs Emma present for her to tell Tina the devastation that Helena brought on Bette and her well being, then she need to do so. Tina is just trying to be the supporter of the underdog and is refusing to see just how devastating and devious Helena has been. Tina just needs to understand that Helena has harmed Tina as well and she would not stand behind her if the roles were reversed. Alice came really close to this in her conversation.
Good chapter…. let’s get Tina on a more reasonable opinion of Helena and of Peggy.
Well said Martha, i agree 💯 with you 👏
Amazing chapter!
Thanks for posting BAT, it’s always a pleasure to read your stories !
I also agree with Martha, Bette MUST explain to Tina through Emma all the devastation she felt and especially the suicide attempt !
I’ve always wondered why no stories were ever written about that scene in the pool ??
