The Letter
Chapter 24
As nervous as I was about the girls coming back and its effect on the developing relationship with Bette, I could tell that she was thrilled to have them home. Her excitement calmed me. She wanted me to spend the night but I was hesitant. Dinner had gone well with us which made me feel more positive. I didn’t want to force myself on them though and told her the only way I would spend the night was if she asked them or at least told them that I was staying. I didn’t want them to have me there with no advance warning. I’m not sure how she approached it with them but I was relieved that they were agreeable. I had grown so comfortable sleeping with her that the thought of no longer being able to, had made me a little depressed.
I had to run home before going to Bette’s. We had gotten in the habit of wearing nothing to bed or at the very least, clothing inappropriate for pre teens to see me in and I needed to get something to wear to work. By the time I got to the house, Alyssa was already in bed and Emma and Bette were waiting for me to watch a movie with them. Emma had picked it and it was cute, if not predictable. Bette fell asleep during the movie resting up against me. I caught Emma sneaking looks at us like we were going to be going at it on the couch or something. When she must have felt comfortable that we were going to be able to control our urges, she just watched the movie. I woke Bette when it was over and sent her off to bed. She hadn’t been sleeping well between her concerns about the Warrens and the girls coming home and not accepting her in a relationship. I took Emma’s discarded dishes and put them in the kitchen before locking up. I could feel she was watching me and knew that I had a level of comfort in the house. We both went upstairs and I told her goodnight before going into Bette’s room and locking the door. By the time I finished my nightly rituals, I was tired too and fell quickly asleep.

NAG once again you have done such a tremendous job with this story. The warrens are pit vipers and should be jailed for what they are trying to do. Thankfully the family is there for Bette and the girls and Tina now that she is part of the family. Hopefully the investigators will uncover just what has made the scummy warrens decide to make this play. Since it appears that Trisha owned prperty and the warrens can’t touch it without the girls. There’s something the warrens have not thought about. If the property belonged to Trisha outright, then the warrens have no right to it at all, it simply belongs to the girls as Trisha’s next of kin AND since they ar eminor children the property can be put in trust for them until they reach the age of majority, 18 or 21 dependig on the state. So actually the warrens have put themselves in the box by being greedy. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see what happens. Great wok NAG. Post when you can.
**Happy Dance – New Chapter!!!** Things are hotting up!! LOL. For Tina this is going to be the ordeal by fire that accelerates her acceptance by the girls and Aunts. I am thankful every day that I too, have a group of women like this around me. No problem is insurmountable with the right love support. PPS! (and I love that every day I learn something useful on this site – thx Dainty!).
It’s GREAT to see another chapter in this story. I hope that this doesn’t upset the girls too much, but I think that they will want to sleep with Bette after hearing the news. The question is will they sleep with Bete snd Tina? They need Bette’s support and Bette needs Tina’s support. PPS :o).
NAG, what a fantastic update! Your thorough descriptions of all the scenes, the emotions and the information being displayed were just awsome. We loved the interactions of the whole family and to learn that now all of them included Tina. B&T’s open declaration of love is very reaffirming and they will need that to cope with the hard stuff that is coming on their paths. As for Em and Alyssa, they certainly need all their family members to explain the Warren’s obscure intentions to snarl them away from Bette’s custody. We are so loving this story. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing writing.
That was wonderful the way T just went to B and all the friends gathered immediately. Drama!!!! But I know u’ll bring them thru for us. PPS.
Dang NAG, those little girls are well adjusted little kids, they have family and friends, camp and school and I’m sure lots of other things they need, can’t the tell the social workers that they don’t want to grow up being treated like their mother? At the rate Tinas going she can be a stepmom pretty quick. I love the way she is there for Bette too, also the way she keeps asking if she should be included and is willing to give Bette space (even if she dosen’t want it). Thank you, Md
Hopefully the storm is a tropical storm and not a hurricane. You know that is a bad word for you and I. Bette has such a wonderful support system from her family and friends who are family. The grandparents have no chance if the courts are not involved.
I hope the girls will take the bad news about the Warrens’ claim well. I hope this will not fuel Em’s fears about Bette’s relationship with Tina. Rich and detailed storytelling as always, NAG. Thanks!!! :>
Been catching up. Ready for the next one now. Hmmm…Methinks Bette just doesn’t like breakfast grains…in WOO it was grits…now it’s the dreaded Froot Loops. On a different note, there were some beautiful displays of self-less love in this chapter that I just adored. Thank you!
Bumpy ride, indeed… might as well tighten our seatbelts and hold on. Love the way you write from different perspectives and the details you put into every chapter. What a fantastic group of women.
WOW …. can’t wait for your next post!!!!!! pps!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
CAn the ride kind of be like bumper cars and not a friggin roller coaster. The kids are going to be upset, people they’ve never even seen trying to take them from Bette. So glad to see Tina going as soon as she knew Bette was in trouble. The gang, you can always depend on them, and Bette, Tina, and the girls are going to need them now more than ever. Come on Joyce, work that magic.
WOW!!!! I hope that the drama coming in the next chapters is not to bad. Loving this story. Thank you PPS
I need to get my tissuses ready… damn these warrens!!! love everyone came together! :)PPS
Loving this story, but it´s like waiting for the other shoe to drop – please jump 5 chapters and have the judge rule grandpa and grandma utterly unfit.
Damn NAG, you are one hell of a writer!!!! It always makes me laugh when you thank us for reading….are you crazy….how could we not! Awesome chapter, I love the extent of commitment that is being shown to Bette by everyone. The potential for drama here is a little scary, but I’m up for the bumpy ride all the way!!
