    Chapter 8 – Mid October

    Tina: I think that is wonderful Bette. You know how much I love James. And Lisa is such a wonderful wife for James. And their kids are adorable.

    Bette: We want to have this conversation before the wedding. If Paris were not going on a two-week honeymoon, we would have had it just before Christmas. But actually, Paris wants James to get started on looking for a curator. Paris wants the curator on the job before the baby is born. And the baby is due in March or April? I forget.

    Tina: It’s a good plan as long as Paris works through James’ paternity leave.

    Bette: Well, that was the deal. James would hold the fort while Paris was on her honeymoon and that is a busy season and Paris would hold the fort during his paternity leave. I think they have agreed that he would be out 6 weeks provided it was a normal delivery and the child was healthy. And possibly more if there were problems.

    Tina: So, is Jeanette planning on leaving her job as well?

    Bette:  I think so. I think she and Paris have plans on doing a little traveling. Jeanette has not seen as much of the world as Paris and they want to enjoy it together. And of course, if they decided to have children, they want to have a married life together before that happens.

    Tina: Do you think Paris and Jeanette will always live here in Los Angeles?

    Bette: I wondered about that. I think as long as Mary is alive, they will. But I think that Paris would love to move back to England. Those were the days of her youth. That was the place she grew up and was educated. And if they do not have children, I would think they would seriously consider moving to Europe. I know that Paris loves Kit and I as well as you and Sonny. But this is not home for her. But one of these days she is going to discover that Jeanette is home. Where ever Jeanette is, then that is where her home is.

    Tina:  Yes, I just hope that she and Jeanette do not go through what we went through to figure that out.

    1. This is such a lovely story.
      I love how attentive Bette and Tina are to each other and their family. Margaret has fitted in well and become part of the family and I have a feeling her and Mary are going to become close friends as well.
      Oh well, off to Bear Mountain for fun and relaxation…can’t wait , thank you !

    2. Janice… Both Bette and Tina were raised without a caring mother during their childhood. Tina’s mother although present had no interest in her children. So they both have somewhat subconsciously been looking for mother figures in their lives. Peggy has taken on that role for Bette until she found Mary. Her relationship with Mary has been long distance and been evolving. So now that they live in Los Angeles along with Paris and Kit, it seems like a natural progression for Mary to move to Los Angeles. Margaret joining the household is an act of the universe and for Tina gives her a surrogate mother figure. Yes, Margaret is a wonderful addition to the family. She and Mary provide companionship for each other so that they do not feel that they are a burden on Bette and Tina. They fill a need for each of them to have a social partner in the household as well as the family. And the house is large enough to provide each member some private space when that is desired as well. It is the ideal arrangement for both of them in their stage of life. However, Bette and Tina want both of these women to have their independence and lead the lives they wish to live for as long as they are able. You see, they really are capable of giving support and comfort and yet the space to lead their own lives. Margaret is the ideal person to assist Mary with this monumental move in her life. And both Mary and Margaret are getting the family back in their life which they both deeply desire. I particularly wanted Bette and Tina to realize and act that both of these women are adults capable of directing their own lives and not children or additional dependents.
