The Letter
Chapter 28
I like to think that I give all of my clients the attention that they deserve. After all, they are paying me a small fortune to represent them so that alone should be enough reason for me to. But it’s more than that. I only take cases that are of interest to me. After so many years, I am able to be choosy. This case…Bette’s and her girls, is one that I vow to work on with as much diligence as is possible. Meeting Emma and Alyssa tonight was enough reason in and of itself to motivate me to wipe the floor with the Warrens.
I had already taken a liking to Bette from our meetings. Of course my wandering eye had taken a real liking to Helena but Bette, although gorgeous, had been so vocal of her love for her daughters that she had broken a piece of my cold exterior just in our talks. It had completely melted away when I had dinner with her, Tina, Emma and Alyssa. Who in their right mind could ever think that these girls could live anywhere that Bette was not a part of? She was their mother. Regardless of whether they shared the same genetic makeup or not, they were a family and I was hell bent on preserving that familial unit.
When I arrived at the house, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I know that Bette was going to tell the girls about me and why I was here so I expected them to have some resentment toward me but there was none. As soon as I knocked on the door, I felt as if I were a part of their environment. The smells that surrounded me as I walked in were incredible. Bette informed me that Tina was cooking Seafood Manicotti since I had during one of our talks mentioned how much I love all seafood. The smells reminded me that I had not eaten today.
We walked into the kitchen and Bette introduced me to Tina. She was lovely. Even with her hair up in a ponytail and jeans and a t-shirt on, she was still beautiful. It’s a good thing Ms. Porter had gotten to her first or I would certainly make a play on her. She and I became familiar, knowing some of the same people as I nibbled on the stuffed mushrooms and Bruschetta that Bette placed in front of me. This little woman was a wonderful cook in addition to being as lovely as she was.

I am thrilled to read another chapter..Simply love this story.
I did a little happy dance when I saw you had written again! Keep it up!
AWE the whole update was so sweet and amazing, loved emma talk with joyce!!! go joyce!!! can the warrens get hit by lightening or something… anything to wipe them off the face of the planet.:)PPS
Emma and Alyssa are precious, and Em is mature beyond her years. Hopefully, Tina will be moving in VERY soon(please)!!! Then when Bette wins custody, she can propose to Tina, them get married, and on their honeymoon Tina gets pregnant (by the donor that Trish used). NAG, what do you think? ;) Tell me to shut up, it’s ok. Love your story…can’t wait for your next post!!!!
Those girls grow more adorable with each passing chapter. I hope that Joyce is able to wipe the floor with the remains of the Warrens. Just having the audacity to file such a case when you completely abandoned your own child makes me shudder. I hope those investigators find the missing piece of the puzzle.
Yeah, clean the floor with the evil grandparents (they don’t deserve to be called grandparents, more like the evil takeraway people). I loved the the remarks that Em made to Joyce, not only were they from the heart but were very straight forward. How could any judge or any respectable person take the girls away from Bette and the rest of the family?
The Warrens are very sick people. They didnt want their child when she was alive,anf never seen her children. So why now I csn wish them all the misfortune that they can have. and may all their luck be bad. thanks
You get into everyone’s head really well – that completely felt like being in Joyce’s head. And before I forget: *speaking in a scolding tone* Don’t even THINK about leaving us for that long again!
OK…I feel much better now that Joyce is going to rip their heads off and “poop” right down their windpipes……Yea!
Go Joyce! Emma is starting to warm up. :) Thanks for a great chapter!
Em and Alissa could win over the coldest heart. I am so glad that Joyce is going in with her A game, I can’t wait for the Warrens to fall flat on thier faces. PPS
I am so happy you’re back and posting so regularly. I had forgotten just how incredible this story is. Can’t wait to find out the Warren’s motivation.
Thanks for this thorough analysis of the whole situation, viewed on Joyce’s point of view. Really AWSOME. Hmmm How she gets a more realistic scope of Bette’s girls and also confirms that Tina is becoming so attached and at ease with the family. Her determination to win the case is just a plus to our excitement. Em and Aly were just honest and truthful about how they have been raised. Thanks, again, for a magnificent update.

I so just caught up!!! I am loving this story!!! Thank you PPS
YES, clean the floor, the walls, ceiling, the yard, etc. Clean their clocks and keep this family together. I LOVED how you wrote the girls thoughts and YES Joyce, you missed the boat. B&T are a done deal and a GREAT couple :o). PPS..
Loved this chapter! You could feel what Joyce was feeling at looking in on this family. I too hope she whoops those Warren’s arses sorry asses!
i just caught up with this story. i read the other two, but was waiting to read this as a whole. I couldn’t wait anymore! i had to know! this is a great story! I love two, but this one is so much more emotional, and i think that the kids are a huge part of that. i can’t wait for the next chapter!! (and the return of If You Never Say…) and please wipe the floors with those people soon!!!
i know joyce is going to give it her all… love this story… love the kids… PPS
I enjoyed your characterization of Joyce. I hope she wipes the floor with the Warren’s.I too want to hug Tina. Can she live with me if she can’t live with the Porter girls?This is a great story.PPS.
Great update. I am getting nervous that the Warrens will somehow try and use Tibette’s relationship against them in court. PPS :)
yeah, clean the floor with them!!!!! pps
Read the chapter before this just didn’t have time to comment. Hhappy that Joyce had a chance to talk with the gitls and to see how intelligent and well adjusted they are. To have the level of maturity and understanding they have speaks very well of Bette and the environment they are growing up into. It also speaks volumes regarding the people they associate with on a daily basis, Kit and the other aunts, none of which are blood relatives but could not love and respect them more if they were blood relatives. The fact that everyone involved with this case has made a personal commitment to help Bette and her family in every way possible to have the best possible result from this lawsuit says everything. Wonderful chapter. PPS
