Bette’s Dilemma- A Visitor at the Porter-Kennard’s
Bette’s half of the morning before the confrontation with Jodi
Tina’s kiss lingered on Bette’s lips as she watched her disappear out their front door. Angie’s calls of "momma, momma!" pulled her back from her thoughts as she turned to see what had caught her daughter’s attention. Looking in the direction of the open patio doors where Angelica’s attention seemed focused Bette was surprised to see an orange tabby peering curiously into the house. Angelica crawled/stumbled her way excitedly toward the door as Bette fought back the immediate concern of disease that raged through her being. Relax Porter, not every animal is disease infested! As the far greater concern of Angel being scratched became apparent Bette moved quickly to lift her daughter out of the reach of feline claws. Seeing her momma following her so quickly Angelica giggled and picked up speed, arriving in front of the cat before Bette could reach her. To Bette’s surprise claws were not the orange tabby’s response at all. Angelica sat inches away from the tabby staring with big eyes of fascination while slowly and confidently the tabby moved forward and began to brush itself against the little girl’s leg. Not wanting to frighten the cat into aggression Bette inches forward to move Angelica back. Even as she was trying to figure out how to get the feline intruder out of the house Angelica reached out and enclosed the cat in a childish hug! The tabby sat contentedly in the little girl’s lap seemingly oblivious to the fact that it was being detained.
You are the strangest cat I have ever seen big guy Bette mused.
"Doggie!" chirped Angelica with glee as she ran her tiny hands up and down the tabby’s back.
The fear she had initially felt on the cat’s arrival was now overshadowed by the sheer adorability and gentleness of her daughter.
"No honey that’s not a doggie. That’s a kitty"
"Momma keep??!"
Angelica’s comment erupted from that somewhere land that exists between question and demand common to small children. The pleading eyes of her daughter tugged at Bette’s heart like nothing else in the world quite did. The only other person who could move her like this with a single look was Tina Bette thought wistfully. As she stood looking down into the brown orbs so like her own Bette felt her resolve for no pets melt away. It was more than apparent that Angelica was certainly gentle enough and the orange tabby seemed a good fit as it had closed its eyes and fallen asleep in Angelica’s lap.

Great chapter. Hope you post again soon.
Great couple of chapters, Leesa. Look forward to B&T dispensing with Jodi as decidedly as they did Monique. Angie is just so cute.
Awww Angelica is sooo sweet! Loved that part and as for the cat, hmmm….I’m thinking he has some new owners:)
How is that kids and pets (mine is a cat) know when we need them the most? In this chapter not only did Bette need Angelica but she needed Dandy there too. Loved how Bette was able to ground Tina.
Post soon, want to see how Jodie reacts to Bette. The cat is so cute. Love how Angie made Bette feel better thanks

That was lovely, especially the ginger tabby cat. I have one, he’s a big baby. PPS.
Its a gem having Bette as a homebody. And I wonder what gorwn up things she is referring to?
Thank you for this beautiful chapter, it’s really great to see the traces that their break up left on her and how she learned all these precious lessons from it. I love this mature Bette, well I loved her before all of the transformation too, but it’s nice to see how people evolve after harsh life experiences. Keep them safe please.Love your story and style.Post soon dear & have a great week.
Great update Leesa! lets hope that kitty finds it owner and don’t let it be jenny!! LOL angie is so cute to cuddle up with bette. :)
I love how you protrayed the sixth sense of Angie to know when Momma B needed some snuggles. The cat scene was priceless and I think that Angie may have herself a pet. :) I hope we get to another chapter soon. (I know greedy as you gave us two chapters just recently, but what can I say I am greedy. LOL)
gaahh, your image of Angelica climbing into Bette’s lap, that got me….there’s nothing quite like the sixth sense & unconditional love of children…i recall a few times of babysitting the little ones of friends of the family & though i wasn’t in an emotional state like bette, stuff was going on & tho they were too young for the verbal “i love you,” that msg comes across when you feel their tiny arms wrapped around you and their head snuggled beneath your chin! thx for the lovely update :)
Awesome update, hope you post soon =)
