Tina sighed, “Helena, it’s at least partly my fault.”
“How could that be true? From what you described, Bette was an idiot.”
“Yeah, she was. But see, we always had this dynamic. Bette could overreact and I would rein her in. It’s what we did. Then I stopped doing it, and I didn’t say I had stopped. So Bette was overreacting like usual, because she thought it was safe to. If I wasn’t correcting her, then she must be OK.”
“That’s fucked up, Tina?”
“The dynamic or not telling her?”
“Both.”
“Well, I guess I was testing her. I did that a lot then. She flunked the exam and didn’t even know she’d been tested.”
“But Tina, testing her when she could lose Angelica,” Helena shook her head in disapproval.
Tina shrugged, “That was fucked up, right? Things weren’t good with us, and I,” Tina paused. “I don’t really know. But this one thing might be fixable. And this time, Bette will know what she’s up against, so she can do it right.”
Tina called Charles about her decision, then called Bette.
And Bette got her second chance with the County of Los Angeles.

TEN DAYS LATER
The Planet
“Good, you’re here.”
“Where else would I be, Alice?”
“You could have had a late night.”
Shane did not reply but kept sipping her double espresso.
“Keep your eye out for Helena. I’m getting Kit.”
Shane nodded her head.
After some fancy roping, Alice, Shane, Helena and Kit sat at a table in a remote section of the Planet. Three of the four were worried about what Alice had in mind.
“We have to help Bette.”
Shane eyed Alice skeptically, “Help with what, Alice?”
“The adoption! There’s a new social worker so she’s got a clean slate.”
“What does that have to do with us?” Helena asked.
Kit glared at Helena, “It has a lot to do with some of us.”
Helena, chastened,. “I just meant I did not see how we could help. Why would Bette want or need help?”
Now, all three other sets of eyes glared at Helena.

david is such an ass…i really liked how all the girls got together to help bette and tina, hopefully new social worker will be much better
David is as ass! But big kudos to Kit for staying after him! Thanks!!
tina can just have legal papers drawn up giving bette guardianship of angelica before she is get adopted. then when adoption goes thru everything will be completely legal.
I wonder if the adoption will be addressed in Season 5 or will it have taken place “Off Camera” anyway a good chapter and good for Kit for being David’s shadow. Thank you.
Go Kit! Go Girls! Go Gadget Go! Okay, so scrap the last, but yay for Bette’s friends trying to help her set the adoption right. I did always hope that Dr. Waters would come round, and stop being such a prat, so good on Kit for that. Maybe he and Kit will ahve a relationship some day. I hope so. And from the last chapter, LOL @ Roberta Collie being a “Furry”! Great posts, Spumoni. Thanks and happy holidays!
David is an ass. And I have always hated how Alice treated Tina that season.. it was out of the line for a friend. You have kept with that spirit. But glad you are filling in the blanks with this story.
David IS an ass, and Alice’s should have been kicked for how she acted that day of the visit. Real friends don’t do that,especially at a critical moment like that, but Alice is another who never has consequences from her friends for her actions. Tina doesn’t need any help, she has nothing at risk, but is delusional if she doesn’t believe Bette has everything to lose, just because she at this point in time says Bette is Angelica’s second parent. I want the new social worker to be competent and sane and get this over with so Bette never has to worry again. PS..remind me never to get Kit mad at me!!!
We all agree: David is an ass but blame IC for her handling of that whole adoption mess. Every situation doesn’t call for slapstick humor or outrageous comments like Alice and David made. Bette was unreasonable enough and that whole craziness w/the social worker and fuzzy faces was ridiculous. JB was preggers in RL and that 3rd season was the season from hell, IMHO. I was angry w/IC for presenting such unreasonable situations and harping on them. And any serious scenes w/Bette and Tina were so quick and undeveloped. I was just going to make a short comment but I went on this rant. I guess S3 bugged me too much. You’re doing a fine job w/reconstructing the story into a rational one. Thanks.
I strongly believe Angelica doesn’t need as person like David in her life! I do not see how he is going to enrich her life with all his Melvin Porter School Hypocritical,discriminating and condescending views towards life and people! I don’t care if he is related to Bette. In this case he proved that Blood is not thicker than water and family means nothing from the first instance! Although I do want David to APOLOGIZE TO Bette and beg (yes BEG!!) for forgiveness for his uncalled for and callous behavior considering the circumstances of his first visit. I do not want to see what David is doing to be made into as a big favor that he is doing for his aunt, as far as i am concerned Bette doesn’t need favors from such A* regardless of the situation. He should be doing it towards his repentance for trying to ruin Angie’s life by denying her her mother. Sorry for the long winded comment but the David scene disturbed me immensely! I do not trust him with Angelica’s life. He is ungrateful and pretentious. Please keep going. So far I like the way you are handling the story. Thank you! :)
