    Now Kit joined the conversation and asked for specifics about the home study.

    “From what the lawyer explained to us, we’ll be assigned a case worker and they will come to the house to interview Tina and me. They will check the environment that we live in. They might inquire about our attitudes towards raising children. They will look around for any safety issues as it relates to our home and the neighborhood.

    Of course we’ve already taken some precautions for her safety. For example, we installed a better grade child proof pool cover at the house as that could be a potential hazard for a child should she wander outside even for a few seconds unattended. Here we live right on the beach, so the balcony is reinforced and there are safety locks on the gate and the sliding glass doors leading out here. Those are just a couple examples of what they might look for. I’m sure there will be a lot of scrutiny, so we need to be prepared for that. They might also want to interview family and friends; anyone that would have a significant role in Angie’s life and people that can provide character references for me.”

    “Baby girl, you know we got your back. I dare anyone to doubt you are the best other mother for this little angel.”

    “Thanks Kit. I’m counting on that. Our appointment is in a couple of weeks for the first home visit. We’ll see how it goes.” Bette wasn’t too concerned but you can never tell with bureaucracy and she still had Helena Peabody, Franklin and the CAC board to contend with.

    Melvin needed to use the restroom. Tina took the baby since she was starting to wake up anyway as it was approaching feeding time. They walked into the house together and Tina headed to the nursery to breastfeed. Kit and Bette decided to clear the dishes, leaving David outside.

    When Melvin returned David was standing at the railing looking out onto the ocean watching the sunset. Having lived on the east coast all his life moving to California was a big step, but he love it so far. He was staying in West Hollywood with Kit for the time being until he got his bearings but he was really liking the idea of getting a place on the beach. The thought of waking up at sunrise and jogging on the beach then weather permitting going swimming in the ocean right outside his back door was very appealing.

    1. Hi Bat,

      Thanks for the update!

      I am a happy reader and big fan of your stories and so glad you came back.

      My father has just recently heard he has prostate cancer, thank god it hasn’t spread and he will have surgery soon and start radiaton too. Stage 1 and 2 when treated soon give you a chance to live for many more years, more than five for example.

      I am happy Melvin is going to undergo treatment so that he can be with his family for more years.

      Angelica Marie Kennard – Porter is a beautiful name. She will bring so much joy and happiness for her mothers and the family.

      Thank you for this beautiful chapter!

      • Bibi28. So sorry to hear about your dad, but glad the prognosis is good. I really appreciate your continued support after so many years. Really makes my day to get comments like this. Thank you.

    2. Hi,

      Well haven’t you made Melvin a likeable old man!
      You’ve also waved your talented writer’s wand over David!

      Thanks for the lovely Post :-)

      As I’ve said before, good to have you back posting BAT.

    3. Hello again, Melvin has turned out to be very likeable this time around., And you’ve even made David better. Thanks so much for the improved personalities, and none of the bigotry of Melvin and David. Maybe the Social Worker could have less bigotry as well, a complete turnaround for all concerned with the adoption, that would be fantastic. So happy you’ve given them softer hearts and minds. Wonderful chapter. The news they are about to have will be devastating for them but, hopefully the treatments, etc he will have will grant him a longer life and maybe a softer heart and mind will help him as well. This is all very well and interesting so hopefully life will go well for everyone for the foreseeable future. Loved this chapter, thanks very much for the turnaround with all the negativity the show had, which never made sense to me. It was as though the writers didn’t know of the advances in medicine that we have, even then when the show was on, there was no excuse for Dana or Melvin to have perished from their ailments. Thanks for turning all that around. Think I’ve mentioned before that you should be one of the writers on the show, especially since they will return in a few months. Thanks again for posting a positive story.

      • Dainty, for some reason this storyline has been on my heart even though it’s taking me years to finish it, I wanted to explore Melvin as a changed man who lives to see his grandchild. There is definitely hope for a few years of happiness for the Porter clan. Thanks as always for your encouragement.
