PART THREE: SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA
Chapter 8
Bette had our San Pedro house inspected on Monday and found that there were no faults of any consequence. The owners had gradually renovated their home and it was actually in very good condition. That was good news for us.
It meant we could go ahead with the paper work for which we set aside Wednesday to do so. There was the realtor and the lender. It took all day. We both had a headache by the time the job was done and we were tempted to have a cocktail and a quiet dinner-out at the end of the day but just in case we might be pregnant, we had sworn off any kind of alcohol right from the start.
What we did instead was drive home, made our own dinner and went for a long evening walk. It was lovely.
Time was becoming very important to us. We had a lot piling up. There were plans to be made for the wedding, invitations to be sent, decisions to be made as to what kind of food we wanted, a guest list, what we were going to wear.
We needed to make moving arrangements, as well.
We had to maintain our respective jobs on a daily basis. She wanted to spend time with Angelica, I stayed in touch with Mary at Yale and the boys, locally.
Terry called me in early September to let me know that Jennifer Beals had agreed to play Helen Goehring. They were happy to have her join the growing cast. They were presently trying to get Jane Seymour to take the Evelyn Townsend part and the Victor Lentini role was still up for grabs. Terry said they wanted to find an older actor who once was a hot property but whose star had faded now. It was a good come back role for someone in that category. They just had not figured out who yet.
The way he saw it, the picture would start rolling in early 2009. Meanwhile he asked me if I had any ideas for my next screenplay. I told him I did and that I had already begun to write a synopsis of the possible storyline. He was very pleased about that and then, almost as an afterthought, he asked if I had any signs of being pregnant, any morning sickness.

Kbergin47, Thanks for always saying the right things as we go along, cruising to the final chapter. I will have more to say about your loyalty after the final chapter.
Paula53, When I first wrote about Bette considering pregnancy, after the 2008 TLW series ended for this year in the spring, I thought I was being original but as it turned out, a lot of other fanfic writers also had the same theme, simply because we knew Jennifer Beals had a baby. Since the actress did it, we figured it was okay for the character to do it. But just as I pointed out in the last chapter, JB is not Bette, they are worlds apart. So I changed my mind and brought Sissee in on the pregnancy attempts and finally, she was the one to conceive. Thanks for your input. I appreciate that you took time out to post.
Hey Mushy, Oh my, you are a sentimental one aren’t you. Well, prepare yourself for the last chapter. Judging by your very nature, you will need a tissue or two. As usual, thanks for your posts.
So sorry for Bette, but so happy that at least Sissee is pregnant. Bette’s new job will be a good challenge for her. Great chapter. I appreciate you promoting me to kbergin48. Smile
I am sure that I am in the minority here, but I did not want Bette to be pregnant. I think that it would be contrary to her nature. While I think she is a great parent, I think that her role is more of the go-getter, career oriented part of the partnership and she has made the right decision not to try and get pregnant again.I know that I do not comment often but I do read…..usually at work when I don’t have the time to comment. Thanks for the story.
hey sis! when i saw that you’d posted i almost didn’t want to read it cos i know we’re on the last two chapters – boo hoo!! i do agree with paula53 i didn’t really see bette pregnant, she’s too alpha i definately see her taking care of a pregnant sissee though…and loving every minute!! next one is the last one is it?…can’t you throw us a bone and say there maybe a chance of you revisting this story/characters sometime…pppllleeeeeeaaassseeeeeeeeee!
