Father and daughter had spent a miraculous day. When she’d dropped Melvin off at the hotel to get ready for evening her only thoughts was of calling her sister. She had so much to share, and she knew Bette wouldn’t believe her but she had tangible proof.
The miracle wasn’t just getting a phone call from her son, she’d also learned that she was an independently wealthy woman thanks to her father. As he’d done with Bette, Melvin had maintained a lucrative investment portfolio for Kit practically since birth and it had grown in a multi-million-dollar nest egg that secured her future.
In addition to the good investments that Melvin made on her behalf, Kit also inherited from her mother’s estate which she never claimed. As a rebellious teenager dealing with the pain of losing her mother and having such as estranged relationship with her father it never occurred to her that she might have money coming to her.
Melvin on the other hand was wholly aware since he was named Executor of the will but he refused to throw good money after bad as he put it. Giving his daughter access to her inheritance would have resulted in her blowing a fortune on the high life. Although he knew there were probably days when she went hungry or nights when she slept on the streets he refused to give her money. He was determined to wait for her to come to her senses; to live by his rules; to come crawling back home broken and defeated, but that never happened. Kit was just as strong-willed and stubborn as he was and here they were 30 years later full of regrets.
Securing her financial future was one thing, and Kit was appreciative but all the money in the world could not fill the gaping hole left in her heart, when David Waters was taken from her. She had imagined all sorts of scenarios where she would finally connect with her son but having Melvin as the conduit never occurred to her.

Kit took several deep breaths. She put her hand on her chest to moderate her breathing to bring down the rapid heart rate. When she calmed enough to speak, she pressed the button to un-mute the phone so her son could hear her. “No baby, we didn’t drop the call. Your mamma’s here.”
Now it was David’s turn to be silent. Other than the few minutes she’d been allowed to hold her son to say good-bye after giving birth, this was the first-time Kit had spoken to him. David wasn’t prepared for all the overwhelming emotions that bubbled over when Kit referred to herself as mamma. He knew he was adopted, but the only thing his parents and grand-father ever told him about his biological parents was that his father was a deadbeat and his mother was too ill to take care of him.

Miracles do happen Bette, believe in it.
It is good to see Melvin is trying to make amends with both his daughters and Tina.
And David reaching out to Kit, wonderful to see that happen. Kit deserve happiness.
Looking forward to see how Helena is going to react when she will be ditched from Tina’s table and life.
A fantastic update! Thank you!
Thanks for the update! You’ve selected one of my favorite characters, Kit. I liked your story very much! I’ve got to bring Kit into my next tale so, I am delighted read her as you’ve her in this situation. One that’s critical to her character.
Personally, I’m fascinated by Helena. I may be the only one, but the broken parts of Helena I look forward to exploring one day.
Good job!

Hi BAT:
Very nice chapter, long time I haven’t read your wonderful writing; I just updated myself with this new story; I like this one very much; very promising, refreshing and hopefulness.
Here, there is another version of Melvin, as a reasonable man, learning from his mistakes, open-minded and committed to mending fences, Kit is also an inspirational character in this story, she fought her demons and addictions and her not only survived but thrived.
I like Tina-Bette interaction in this chapter, they both have hurt each other, but their love is still there, the emotional pain have made them more mature and they may want to give their relationship another try, hopefully, is not only because they are waiting for a baby, but mainly for the love they have for each other.
Thank you for this precious story, I’ll wait for your next post, with a bit of luck, soon.

Great chapter. Have already written a comment but it disappeared for some reason and don’t think I can redo it. The same thing happened a couple wks ago in another story and it was in the trash on your authors page. I had not quite completed a thought when it vanished. Maybe that’s where it is this time. At any rate this was a good chapter, enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.
