A phone call – edited chapter 13
“That sneaky demented little bitch. She knew what happened all along and still taunted me about telling Tina that I’d cheated. I could wring her scrawny little neck.”
Bette looked at Logan and whispered ‘sorry’. She was making every effort to tone down her potty mouth around him and Angie. They’d instituted a swear jar where she had to drop a $1.00 for the F word, $0.50 for the B word and $0.25 for the S word. It was all on the honor system. They kept a piece of paper next to the jar and Bette would make a stroke count next to the applicable ‘word’ and drop the corresponding amount even if no one was around. Angie was the accountant. It was her job to add up the strokes and count the money. They would empty the jar each week and put whatever was collected into Angie’s piggy bank. If Bette was having a particular bad day, she would put a $20 bill in the jar, lock herself in the study, and get it out of her system. Today might be one of those days she thought smiling at Logan. He smiled back and made a few gaga sounds as if to say under the circumstances Mama B was allowed.
Bette’s mind was reeling with all the ways she was going to strangle Jenny while at the same time caring for her son. She lifted Logan from the changing table in the nursery and carried him to the kitchen. She secured the baby in his highchair and tied a bib around his neck. Bette opened the fridge and grabbed a jar of baby food and pulled a bottle of breast milk from the freezer to thaw.
Fortunately for them Marci agreed to express breast milk, and have it shipped frozen to the Kennard-Porter home each week. Once she dried up, they switched to using a donor as they believed mother’s milk provided their son with an extra nutritional boost to his overall health. At six months he’d more than doubled his birth weight and was getting stronger every day. His visits to the Pediatrician indicated he was perfectly healthy and had no developmental issues. They introduced solid foods into his diet to supplement as they would soon need to wean him off the milk.

Bette Bette Bette. Please allow Alex to go after Jodi. Get them all. Ironic that Shane is reluctant to get involved. Sounds like the Shane in Gen Q. At any rate Bette has taken on a lot of guilt and part of it is a result of the way she was treated by Kit and the others. Bette and Tina are in love. They should make no apologies for that. Jodi was most likely still seeing Amy. Messy stuff. She was disrespectful of Bette at work. Did not believe any rules applied to her. On balance Jodi was arrogant and narcissistic. Time she got a real wake up call. Her two cohorts as well. This was truly a very refreshing read. Nice job!

Hi Billy,
Thank you for reading and commenting. Totally agree with everything you wrote. By this point however in the retelling to Alex, Bette is no longer carrying any guilt, She is with the woman she loves and was meant to be with, and though she has no regrets, I just think that acknowledging the affair with Tina even if Jodi was being duplicitous is part of her growth and being accountable for her actions. I promised when I introduced this storyline of Jenny, Kelly, and Jodi that they would all pay so don’t worry about them getting away with anything, I just need to figure out how to work it and connect them.
As always I appreciate your insights. Take care. .
Agree with Billy please let Bette allow Alex to go after Jodi (I never liked her!)
Nice to have you back more please,
SG
Hi SassyGran,
Thank you. Glad to be back with this story. Sorry I was gone for so long.
Jodi was my least favorite character on the show and I hated how she treated Bette (even before the Tina affair) so you can be sure I she will get what is coming to her.
Appreciate you sticking with me, and there is more to come soon. Take care..
Agree with Billy and SassyGran, let Alex go after Jodi and Kelly,. Serena and the Hammer! They deserve to be sued and pay greatly for what they have done to Bette.
Unfortunately, Bette still seems to see it as punishment she deserved for being with Tina when she was still dating Jodi, especially as her friends and Kit defended Jodi. Something I will never understand, public revenge in that way is inexcusable. Jodi should be punished for this along with those who made this possible.
Everything points to Kelly being involved in this, an incredible bitch with a misplaced ego.
I hope Tina can convince Bette that she should let Alex do her job although I understand why Bette would rather put this behind her. And i agree with Billy on the Shane part, she is unrecognizable in GQ and in my view has an occasional misplaced sense of friendship and loyalty to the wrong people.
I also think Bette is a great mother and the bond with Logan is so beautiful to see. She has everything she wants, a family and the love of her life, Tina, and is so pleased with this, you can feel and read her happiness between all the lines!
I loved this rewritten chapter!
Hi Bibi28
Thank you for your comment, and letting me know that you ‘loved’ the rewritten chapter. It means a lot. Jodi, Kelly, and Jenny will get what is coming to them – I just had Bette take a pause so I can figure out what direction to take. You are so right about Shane – I don’t know what happened to her in GenQ season 2, but she was acting so uncharacteristically – I read a few comments on social media where people were saying that she ‘called in her performance’ meaning she wasn’t really present and didn’t put much effort into her storyline. It was the most boring and ridiculous of all the storylines and though I like Tess, I really wasn’t feeling them as a couple.
Anyway the misplaced loyalty thing is one of her flaws, and in this story she will learn that Jenny is not deserving of it.
Thank you as always for reading and commenting.. Much appreciated. Take care..
Interesting developments. I certainly hope all three women get exactly what they deserve – prison time & humiliation.
These 3 are the most hated characters in my book of OG. One slimier than the other. Think Jenny was the worst from her first scene.
Still glad that Bette & Tina are on the right track & living their dream life.
Anxious to see them in NYC & adjusting to their new life there.
Thanks for a great chapter.
Go Alex!!!
Hey Collins,
Thank you for keeping up with this story and commenting. I know you’re busy writing yours so really appreciate you taking the time.
I agree with the trio of Jenny, Kelly and Jodi being the most disliked characters in the OG for me. I would put Jodi as the worst, then Kelly. I had a little bit of compassion for Jenny in some of the seasons as she was certainly a tortured soul but that was outbalanced by how deliberately cruel she was and she and caused a lot of destruction.
Bette and Tina are living their best life, despite these minor distractions. I’m looking forward to their lives in New York too. I’m spending as much of my spare time writing as possible as I do want to get this one finished. Take care.
Hi BAT,
Saw you just posted another update – will try my best to read it this weekend!!! I am so looking forward to it.
I wish you all the best in your writing & getting this story told!!!
My least fav character was actually Jenny – totally over the top – & Mia did such a fantastic job in her portrayal. Gotta think what part of her many versions was true to IC’s RL character???
And yes, make the 3 amigos pay BIGTIME for the mess they brought to Tibette.
Thanks for the updates.
And yes, I am working diligently on the next DOH update. Thanks for asking.
