Bette had been putting off going to Philadelphia for several months. She really didn’t want to leave Tee and Jeli; but things had settled down at home, she wasn’t working. If she was going to settle her father’s estate and dispose of the assets, she might as well get it done now.
She couldn’t believe her father had been dead for six months. It just did not seem possible. It felt like yesterday. Bette dreaded the trip to Philly. She had not been back to the city of her birth since graduation from college so many years ago. She remembered she didn’t even get upset when Melvin infromed her he had sold the home she grew up in as a child in North Philly and bought that swank condo at Rittenhouse Square. Philadelphia still seemed to be a place that felt painful to Bette. After all Philadelphia was where she lost her mother. Philadelphia was the place where her mother whom she loved so completely abandonded her. Philadelphia was the place where she flet lost and alone.
Tee could see that the up coming trip was beginning to bother Bette. Bettte had been so happy after Jeli was born – so completely at peace with herself. Bette had changed – really changed. It was utterly amazing how open Bette had been these last few months. They were able to talk with each other about everything – Tee felt this was the first time she could honestly see into Bette’s soul. They had resolved so much. But now, Bette was beginning to shut down – withdraw- refusing to talk.
As Tee stood at the stove heating the water for tea, she couldn’t help but think maybe someone else should make the trip to Philadelphia. She made two cups of tea and walked towards the bedroom. As she passed thru the doorway, her heart skipped a beat seeing Bette curled up in bed holding Jeli in her arms.
“Shhh! She just fell asleep.” Bette whispered to Tee. Tee’s eyebrows lift edas she smiled and responded, “Let me put her in the crib, she should be good for the night.”
Tee came back from the nursery and slid into bed beside Bette. As Bette handed Tee her cup, Tee noticed that Bette is lost in thought. Tee, “Babe, maybe Kit or David should go to Philly.” Bette, “That is just not possible. David is working 24/7 at the hospitl and Kit has her her plate full at The Planet. I’m the only one. Besides, the lawyer said there are things only I can do. I have to be the one to go.”

omg
great start, this sounds like it’s going to be full of intrigue….yeh!!
really interesting, is her mother irish or something? and i like that B&T and Jeli are doing good together
I could see Melvin doing this, so sad that Bette lived for 34 years thinking her Mother didn’t want nor loved her.Will Bette ever think the same about Melvin. I do believe that this will make Bette a better Mother/ thanks
I’m with Mary. I wish you had continued this. Loved meeting you in LA. Take care. :D
Hey I like this story PLEASE continue
Interesting. I could definitly see Melvin doing something along these lines. Very cold and calculating.
This is a great start! More to come, I hope!!
I am liking this all ready…I like the thought of Bette finding her mom. Please just let B talk to T. post soon.
This was a fabulous start!! I look forward to reading the next chapter. So, if Bette’s mother was deported, that means she was from another country…I am excited to see which one! The only change is the rating. This is marked as a NC-17. It should be PG, or PG-13. Thanks!!!
The start is great! Please continue.
I am so glad that someone is taking on what may have happened to Maxine. It would be so nice for Bette to have her mother around. Especially now that we know that her mother actually tried very hard to see her daughter.
Please continue this, like the way you are going with this story. Iinformation we have all wanted to know. Thanks for the post.
Susan… i loved this… why did you not continue… melvin was not my favorite father figure and you sure hit the nail on the head… it felt like if he gave these things to bette he would be forgiven… WRONG… i hope you will think about another chapter… with her and tina reading the letters together… thanks… later babe
Wow!
