Lucky in Love (Chapter 4)
All her ducks were finally in a row. The move had gone as smoothly as she could possibly expect. Tina made a point of not giving her new address, telephone, email and cell phone numbers to Henry and her assistant knew not to put through any of his calls. For her part, Angelica settled in very quickly. The restraining order had been lifted and the custody agreement drafted. All that was left was to tell Bette. Tina was nervous as hell.
For more than a year now, any discussion they tried to have, even when they were in agreement with each other, got twisted into ugliness and recrimination. They could push each other’s buttons with astonishing skill and never know they were doing it. Even if she never got further than co-parenting Angelica with Bette, Tina was determined to move their relationship past this painful abyss.
“Bette Porter,” she was all business, Tina’s new number didn’t register on her phone.
“It’s Tina.” She hated the coldness she felt even before Bette spoke.
“Yes?”
“Is it possible for you to make some time to see me today?” Tina held her breath.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Bette answered quickly. “Putting our differences aside for a few hours to help Shane was a nice thing for you to do, but…”
“It’s about the baby.”
“Is she okay?” Bette’s concern was immediate.
“She’s fine.” Tina responded, closing her eyes in frustration. She hadn’t meant to worry Bette. “Listen, everything’s fine, but I can’t to do this over the phone.” She waited out the lengthy pause at the other end of the line with a discipline she’d rediscovered upon her return to work.
“I’ve got an hour now,” Bette said heavily. “Where would you like to meet?”
“Are you still home?”
Bette inhaled sharply. She was finally purging the bad memories from this place, from her life, and she didn’t want to risk that progress. Yet she didn’t want to lie.
“Yes.”
“Would you mind coming to me? I’m not very far…” Bette agreed hastily and Tina gave her directions.
Fifteen minutes later, Bette pulled into the driveway of a Tudor style house in Hancock Park. She double checked the address and was again wondering what she was doing there when she sensed Tina’s presence. A bright smile crossed her face upon seeing Angelica in Tina’s arms on the front porch. Bette jumped from the car but froze the moment she realized she was in violation of the restraining order. Tina descended the steps and set Angelica on her surprisingly sturdy little legs once they were on the grass. Bette remained rooted beside her car, her head and heart swirling in turmoil.

okay…I’m sold on Larena! I enjoyed the Bette and Tina discussions to. I really like the way you’re weaving the story! Looking forward to more updates.
Hey SammysGirl,I dont think I’ve commented on your story so far, but now is probably a good time to start. It’s fantastic. You write really well and the story is flowing brilliantly. The chemistry between Dana and Alice… well it’s one that we all wish could have been portrayed in the actual tv series. Well done.
As always, an enjoyable read. I like the fact you are incorporating BT, HL, as well as exploring the other issues that are left dangling for Shane and Jenny. Well rounded and intelligently written.
Hey sammy, I’m with bo! Great job. Loving the Danish banter…keep up the good work!
I love this story! Great update, please post more ASAP :)
I love the way you are started to get things back on track and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for this story please post soon I love it Great update
I just love to read this story, it kinda flows. I enjoy reading them happy no shit on the horizon (for now that is)Oh and if I could, 5 stars no doubt!! Keep it up..
Thank you for posting…I am SO glad Tina came to her senses and let Bette be a part of Angelica’s life. Let them move forward and heal the wounds. Please post soon.
“Boob shopping with Dana at 4:15′ is at the top of my to-do list”.That was my favourite part. Only Alice can pull that one off, lol. Very sweet. I’m actually curious about Helena and Lara as well, lol. Can’t wait for more! :)
I think Jenny could help Shane out very well. She has gone trhough a lot too. Helena Unplugged…that’s how you could describe S3 Helena. I agree with Berna, that was the best line and Alice can pull it off. And the way they found Dana’s implant was sweet and funny.
Oh I forgot…LaRena will need to have another date soon…next chapter? :)
cant wait on the next chapter its like a book i would never put definily best ever!!!
