“Why shouldn’t I be happy? Helena’s happy and that’s all I want.”
“Well… I don’t know why I thought that you—excuse me. I won’t waste your time any further. You’re happy. Helena’s happy. Then everything is fine. I’ll speak to you later, dear. Shall I tell Helena you said hello?”
“No,” Bette snapped and hung up.
Moving, not taking her calls, and sending her mother to do her work for her! If that was the way Helena wanted it then so be it.
She was finished with her.
And this time she meant it.
““
“Your father tells me you’re breaking up with Hannah tomorrow?” Peggy said.
“My, that was fast,” Helena marveled shooting a look at her father.
He grinned and raised his glass at her.
“I don’t know what you were expecting,” he said. “Your mother and I do talk about one thing. And that one thing is you.”
“Your father is right,” Peggy concurred and nodded at Astor.
Helena scowled.
“Why don’t you two call each other by your names? Your father said this. Shall I start it? Your mother said this. What the hell is that? I’m sick of it! Peggy. Astor. Your names. Use them!”
Both Peggy and Astor stared at her a long moment before Peggy sighed and Astor laughed.
“You’re tense. That lawyer must not be up to snuff,” Peggy remarked dryly.
“Peggy, dear you know how Helena hates when we talk about her sex life.”
“Well, Astor darling how I can help it? She’s our only child and that means the entire Peabody fortune rests on her slender shoulders. What ever shall we do?”
“I’m not one to brag, but I’m sure I might have littler Peabodys’ running around out there. If Helena doesn’t step up I’m sure I can find one of them.”
“That’s a wonderful idea! Fresh blood. Someone more malleable. Someone who can and will appreciate us, Astor. Bring forth your bastards! Come one, come all!”
“It would have been wise for you to have had more children. I mean what if I can’t have children? What if I die suddenly? Wha–“ Helena began tiredly.
“Helena! Morbid are your thoughts. Just because Bette doesn’t love you, doesn’t mean that your life is over,” Astor protested.

What a pleasant surprise. Now I have to go back and read.
Oh Speedy. I was having chest pain through out that painful conversation with Bette and Helena. What the hell is wrong with Bette, why won’t she admit what she is feeling, why is she afraid to give into it. How awful for Helena and now what the hell has happened to Bette Please, please please, please post soon. My chest is heavy :-(
You’ve been hinting that we will find out why our playa Bette is so reluctant to be involved with Helena. I wonder if they are related??? Is Bette the offspring, bastard child of Astor? Does she know this, so knows she cannot even begin to lay hands on Helena? I hope I’m wrong… Please tell me I am wrong. I hope for a happy ending but sometimes it just isn’t what we want. Brillant as stated before. You definately have skills.
Bette is so BULL-HEADED! Hopefully that’ll change.
Squirl, no! No, no, no. That thought never crossed my mind. I wouldn’t be able to write something like that anyway. Rest assured I am not Jerry Springer. There’s no blood relation between Bette and Helena. None. Breath easy. Whew!
I have never been so happy to be wrong. THANKS. Waiting with baited-breath for your next chapter
Damn this is good speedy!!!!! but you know youre wrong for leaving us hanging like that right
Grrr, you suck, leaving us hanging like that. But aside from that, I am very much enjoying this story and can’t wait to read more.
Wow! Now there’s a cliffhanger!! Thanks!
please speed posta again soon.. great chapter.. i love belena stories..
What in the world was the inspiration for Peggy and Astor? Those two are really special. Great description, I felt as though I was there. Ok, what was really the impetus for the current situation that B and H find themselves experiencing? Is H truly tired of pining or did something specific occur? Ummmm…..what’s AU? The two stories almost feel like they fit together, almost! BYMAPS
I’m sure that every reader has heart ache from Helena and Bette’s attitude and conversation. You’re so cruel leaving us on a cliffhanger! lol.
Good work, really. And although I like some of those, it IS nice to read a good story with proper grammar & spelling.Keep up with the excellent work, I’m really looking forward to the next episode.
lwfan_niki AU is alternate universe. Which since this isn’t cannon, it would be AU. The two stories won’t resemble each other too much hopefully. Thanks a lot guys.
Good god :( this chapter made MY heart ache too… you’re cutting us right to the core with this story Speedy… I hope you have happy ending and give us hope. Thanks for this..
See a good reason why you shouldn’t drink so much, speedy, I LOVE this story and especially that it’s not focused on tina. I love how you write these two, pls post soon, I’m hanging on the edge of my seat!!!
OMG! You’re making my heart ache with this chapter! I… shit! I’ve been where Helena is and this chapter just brought it all home to me. dman, you’re good! Despite the heartache and gut-wrenching conversations, this is written superbly. I am so into this story. You’ve got some serious talent there, Speed. I hate to see the end of each chapter. That’s a sure sign of something great! Please, continue. Preferably, real soon..lol! If there was a rating, you’d get 5 stars for all of the chapters so far! Magnificent job you’re doing. Keep it up!
I can’t stop reading this story…I am a Tibetter but this story is so appealing. The tension between the two of them is so powerful. I don’t know what is holding Bette back from admitting to Helena that she means the world to her…you have written this so well I am on the edge of my seat. Will Helena make it back to LA? Keep posting.
i soooooo luv this story, this is a different side of bette, that i think is really sexy!!!!now hurry up and write!!!!!!
