    Author Notes:

    .

    “Well, it’s about time you arrived, I was ready to ask Ramon, here, to join me,” Peggy Peabody admonished her daughter as the handsome matre d’ brought Helena to the table.

     

    “I’m sorry, Mother.  It couldn’t be helped,” Helena apologized, leaning in to air kiss Peggy’s cheek.

     

    “Couldn’t be helped?” Peggy inquired, arching her perfectly shaped eyebrows.  “Maybe you can use that excuse with your aging mother, but not with the ex officio chair of your board.”

     

    “Emeritus, mother,” Helena sighed.

     

    “Whatever.  The point is–”

     

    “I know.  Don’t keep you waiting.”

     

    “Clever girl,” Peggy smiled, sipping her mineral water.  “Now, in the interest of time, I’ve taken the liberty of ordering for you.”

     

    “Lovely,” Helena said, unfolding her linen napkin and spreading it across her lap.

     

    There was something about her only child’s tone that made Peggy take note and probe further.  Something not quite right.  “So…what kept you?  Minions?  Funders?”

     

    “Hmm?”  Helena asked, looking up.

     

    “Have you heard a word I’ve said?”

     

    “Apparently not.”

     

    “How are the children?”

     

    “They’re splendid.  As I’m sure you know, I’m about to become a Lacrosse Mom, which I believe includes a contractual obligation to purchase a minivan.”

     

    “As long as you purchase a helmet.  Although if Wilson is anything like you were, full body armor might be more appropriate.”

     

    “True,” Helena concurred, forcing a smile.

     

    “And Winnie?  Everything okay on that front?”

     

    “Winnie is fine.  She wants to take the children to the Grand Canyon over spring recess.  Something about donkey rides to the bottom.”

     

    “Where did you take them last year?”

     

    “Paris,” Helena said.

     

    “From the City of Lights to riding asses into a gorge.  What an eclectic upbringing,” Peggy mused.

     

    “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

     

    Peggy looked hard at her daughter, noticing the complete lack of fire in her navy blue eyes. 

     

    “What is it?”

     

    “What is…what?” Helena asked, puzzled.

     

    “You seem distracted.  Preoccupied.  Absent.  Shall I go on, or do you get the idea?” Peggy offered, leaning in.”

     

    “It’s nothing.  Everything is perfect.”

     

    “Now, I realize that you believe you sprang, fully formed, from the head of Zeus.  But I did have a bit to do with the particulars.  Like it or not, I know you, Helena.  And I can tell that everything is not perfect.”

    2. I like that Helena is involving Bette, via a safe source. Perhaps Bette will get her act together, although I’m on the wagon for Helena and Tina getting together, but I’d like to see B and T resolve some issues and get closure.

    3. Thanks for answering my question. So Tina has lost two children hmmm all I can say is thank God this is fanfic. As for the route your going, Helena seemingly trying to involve Bette through Peggy. I instantly wonder if Tina wants Bette to be involved at this stage. I mean won’t they be two polar opposites just bouncing off each other at this point, based on Bette’s inability to grieve the lost of their daughter. Tina imo needs someone who is going to recognize the pain and be willing to at least begin dealing with it.

    5. Awesome. I think you nailed the banter between Helena and Peggy – it was perfect. And another ‘yay’ for Helena making her mom aware of the situation; Peggy seems to have a knack for snapping people back into reality.

    8. What an enthralling story! Bette’s absence speaks volumes, as do Helena’s actions. If Tina and Helena end up together in this fic it would be very satisfying.

    12. What a wonderfully human gesture for Helena to make. I like this Helena and surmise Helena can help Tina in many ways, but she can’t help to heal her soul and that’s where I imagine Bette comes in. At least I hope so.

    14. Good Job!!! I also hope Peggy can shake some sense into Bette..They need each other more than ever now.. It will be the only way either can heal Post soon I love your story very sad but EXCELLENT

    16. “City of Lights to . . . asses into a gorge” brilliant humor to gut-wrenching emotional pain – I wish I had your eloquence with words to express how beautiful this story is to me. Thanks so much for giving us, the readers, this gift.

    17. This is a good way for Helena to plunder and pillage Bette’s life. I hope Peggy can knock some sense into her. Thanks, ffc! Witty and true as always.

    19. FFC: Thank you for making me laugh a little in this one. Yes, the overall climate is still dreary but your sunny words peeked through the dark sky. You know I brace myself before reading your chapters with a drink in hand don’t you? When Helena corrected her mom with the Emeritus title I started smiling. What really made me chuckle though was “contractual obligation to purchase a minivan.” Just the thought of Helena driving a minivan cracks me up. Well, until Porsche comes out with one, she can stuff everyone into a Cayenne I guess huh? “Fuck the annual gala,” That was SO Peggy-like, as well as everything she’s uttered in your story. “Or we could just have another round and call it a wash” Here’s to you FFC…*lifts glass*

    20. greenie, babe, shove over. were drinking together, k?ffc, at least a little humor. its amazing but i still have mine intact. if i didnt i wouldnt be able to do life. your killing me but i love your writing. thanks.

    21. yes please, let peggy talk some sense into bette, my tibette heart is bleeding, so beautifully written, even if it’s painful…i still have hope for B&T though
