The Letter
Chapter 19
To receive a phone call like I did from Bette made me almost panic. To arrive at the gallery and find Kit arriving too made me sure that something had happened to Alyssa or Emma. Kit had gotten a call from James. When we walked in together he was sitting there like the world had just crashed down around him. I think that made both Kit and I even more petrified. He wouldn’t tell us anything about what was going on. He said to just go to Bette’s office.
I know I hadn’t known Bette long but to see her sitting there with a drink in one hand and a paper in the other, while looking as badly as James, made my heart break. I just wanted to take some of her pain away and I took the drink from her hand and put it on the desk before pulling her into my arms. I just held her and rubbed her back as I whispered to her it would all be ok. I hoped it would be, not knowing what was happening.
Kit brought us back. Her statement to Bette about needing to tell us what was happening and my reiterating it, made her a little more cognizant that we were there. She handed the paper in her hand to me. Kit came beside me and together we began to read. Kit had to put her hand on my shoulder to brace herself. I didn’t know much about child custody law but could not imagine that they would have a claim. I had assumed that Bette had adopted the girls either when they were born or when Trisha had died. Now was not the time to ask her about that. I now understood why she looked as if her world were falling apart. It was.
Kit cursed more than I think I’ve ever heard anyone curse before. She finally yelled for James to come in and asked him to cancel Bette’s appointments and find Alice. Once he found Alice, have her get Shane and Dana and meet at Bette’s immediately. She looked at me and said that we needed to get her to the car. I put the letter in my purse and together, Kit and I got Bette in her car. Kit told me she would have someone from The Planet pick her car up and that she would meet me at the house. I went back to make sure that James was ok. He told me that he had found Alice and that she, Shane and Dana were together and would be at the house. I asked him if he wanted to come too but he said that there were appointments that he would not be able to cancel but could handle so he would take care of things. He told me that Bette had called Helena. I knew who she was from our conversations but wasn’t sure why she was called. James handed me Bette’s things and I called the office as I walked out to let them know I wouldn’t be back for the day.

Yay!!! Go get’em girls! Pretty damn exciting turn of events NAG – great update! You lulled us into a false sense of warm and fuzzy with all that falling in love stuff, and now wham!…great writing!
hey – I think that’s my first time ever being first!
congrats Social. NAG, you are amazing, that was so twisted, well though out and either researched or lived. I know my words are simple but you can believe that I love your stories. Thank you, Md
way to think ahead Trisha. It’s got to be about money or they are just being totally evil and if anyone can find out it would be Helena with a good PI. Even if they were grieving for twelve years if they had wanted to get to know the girls they would have contacted Bette way before now. I’m glad Bette has so many positive people around her to help with this crazy situation. PPVS
I had a feeling that it was the grandparents wanting to take the girls. Because Emma is 12, doesn’t she have a say in who she wants to be with? Trisha was smart to do what she did with the letter, video tape and getting in touch with the biological father. Go Joyce, fight for the girls. This is going to show the world how important friends and Tina are to Bette and the girls.
Wow! I’m ready to jump into this story and track down those so-called “grand-parents”! I absolutely love your writing and this story!
wow… i read the last 2 chapters without breathing i think. excellent writing. I’m liking Trisha more and more every chapter! I’m glad you brought Joyce into the picture, can’t wait to meet her! Hope the girls don’t get wind of this til they get back from camp. Amazing stuff NAG :)
I’ll try to keep the venom for the Warrens down to a minimum if I can. I can hardly wait for the next chapter to find out if I guessed right with the previous chapter. Of course, Trisha’s letter and video did bear out what I said last night that they want the chidlren for another reason. Now with the bio father getting in the mix he can take custody of the girls and void the grandparents altogether. then turn around and let Bette adopt them. I know we will have more drama than that so I can hardly wait. Thanks for posting a story involving this topic that some people have to fight on a daily basis. Thank God for people like Joyce and all attorneys on a daily basis that fight for the rights of children and their parents, biological and adoptive. NAG this is a truly wonderful story and you are so brave to take on the topic. I know you will treat our girls and their girls very well and let Bette win this one. And I hope Joyce buries the Warrens so deeply in jail that someone will have to pipe daylight to them. Thanks for posting.
WOW… this was good… real good… i am also thinking the grand parents want the kids not because they may love them but she doesn’t want them growing up with bette and her friends… but 9 years later… some thing is up and i can’t wait to see what it is… love this story… PLEASE CONTINUE
Amazing story!!! I knew it was the grandparents. The Drama is just starting right. Thanks NAG PPS
Great story. I was so happy that Bette followed Tina into the kitchen at the end here. They both are so considerate of each others feeling. Hopefully Bette will legally adopt the children.
I love Joyce. Kick their asses girls
WELL DONE TRISH AND SHE SENT TINA JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME TO LOVE BETTE THRU THUS CHALLENGE…great drama…hanging out 4 kids to meet Tina.
Thankfully even with everything going on Trish thought ahead. Get Joyce and then bring it on. David can take legal custody, they forfeit it over to Bette and allow her to adopt his children. Mom and Dad, go find the hole you crawled out from Love that Tina told Bette she loved her and that if she wanted she would be their to ride this out with her.
Heheh…lol…at Dainty’s post: “someone will have to pipe daylight to them”…too funny!…especially as she’s trying to keep the venom to a minimum. Hey! That kinda rhymes! [Aside: You’re awesome, Dainty one] This totally totally ROCKS, nag! Moooooore pleasy! :)
Oh NAG…3 updates for me today…you are the best! I loved Tina’s line “it’s a lot, but not too much”. I am so hooked on this story…it’s cutting into my sleep time. Absolutely brilliant update, I was on the edge of my seat reading it.
Whatever the storyline . . make this right. Great great story
Sorry for doubting that you knew exactly how this story should be told. trisha is a genius and so are you. This story is great.
