Bette i am home 19

It was Wednesday evening all the girls gathered at Bettes. Alice and Dana arrived together followed by Kit and then Marina. Shane called and apologized as usual. She was invited to a Vidal Sassoon party and couldnt miss it if she tried. Bette was in her bedroom putting on the last touches and getting all the children ready to meet her friends. Sasha was looking and feeling a lot better but Bette as usual still worried and fussed about him. She came out of her bedroom with Sasha on her arms and behind was Beatrice and Melvin. She tried to hide them as much as she could because they were part of the surprise. She persuaded them that they were playing a game of hide and seek and that they must walk behind her tucked under her big coat until she tells them to get out. They all walked to the living room with some difficulty. Bette kept a composed look on her face and tried very hard to stop herself from laughing and falling over the kids. They finally made it. Bette stood face to face with the girls and summoned them to sit down.
Bette: Family and friends thank you for coming this evening. It gives me a great pleasure tonight to introduce you to my two new adopted children, Beatrice and Melvin. Come on out Beatrice. Come on out Melvin.
The kids leapt from under Bettes coat and were jumping up and down and making a jolly good noise. The girls looked at each others and their jaws dropped.
Alice and Dana: Get out of here. Your adopted children? Why?
Kit: Bette you never told us that you were planning on having more kids!
Marina: Bette why have you adopted them? Whatve happened to their parents?
Alice: Bette you never cease to amaze me.
The girls were still amazed but they welcomed the kids kissed them and hugged them and Alice started to play with Beatrice and Dana was holding Melvin.
Kit: Did you adopt this boy because his name was like our dads?
Bette: No Kit. I just saw him and fell in love with him.
Kit: But hold on you guys this little girl, doesnt she look like someone we know? Look at her.
Dana: This is uncanny!
Alice: Yah she does. Bette what is it you are not telling us?
Marina: Yah Ive noticed this too. Bette what are you hiding you dark horse?
Kit, Dana, Alice and Marina wanted to know the truth from Bette but she was avoiding their questions and their puzzled looks and pretended not to hear them. She took off her coat and revealed a very ***** dress. She carefully sat dawn on the sofa with Sasha on her lap and B and Melvin on each side of her. The front door bill rang and Alice was motioned by Bette to go and open it. She jumped off the sofa and rushed to the door. She opened it and froze. All the girls looked to the direction of the door and expected someone to walk in but Alice was just standing there and not moving.
Dana: Alice what is it babe?
Marina: Whose at the door Alice?
Alice: Bette I hate to say this but there are two Police Officers at your door asking to come in.
The girls face dropped and they looked very worried. Bettes looked away to hiding her surprised look and fear from the rest. .
Bette: Alice dont be rude and just stand there, show them in please.
Bette put on brave face, stood up and handed Sasha to Kit and walked to the door to see for herself. Dana and Marina followed her to the door but Kit stayed where she was protecting her new fond niece and nephew. She had an unsettled look about her and her eyebrows reached her forehead.
Alice: Come in Officer. What can we do for you?
I am Officer Williams and my college is Officer Kenter-Potard and we request to talk with Ms Porter. Are you Ms Porter?
Alice: No I am her friend Alice. Do come in Officer Williams and Officer Kenter-Potard.
Bette stood by the door and looked at the two Officers and wondered what was behind their presence at this time in the evening.
Bette: Officer Williams I am Bette Porter, What can I do for you Officer.
O. Williams: Can we come in Ms Porter?
Bette: Well yes of course. Alice move away from the door please.
Alice still mesmerized moved away and gave them passage into Bettes house. She stood next to Dana and Marina and they all looked on eager to hear the unfolding chapter.
O. Williams: Ms Porter we have a court order summon for you.
Bette: A court order summons? What do you mean Officer? And please call me Bette
O. Williams: Bette we are sorry to spoil your evening but we have this letter to give you. I realize that we should have delivered it earlier this morning but we were caught up on other jobs.
Bette: Just give me the letter Officer. Thank you.
Bette grabbed the letter from the Officers hand tore at it with shaky hands and started to read.
We Mr and Mrs Elias Jubraan requesting your presence in court. We are suing you for full custody of our grandchild Sasha Jubraan. Bette stopped. she couldnt carry on reading and she was obviously very upset and her legs turned to jelly. Alice snatched the letter off her hand and carried on reading the rest.
We are Sasha Jubraans blood relatives and we asked the court to give us full custody of our grandchild.
Dana: What? This is crazy.
Marina: Officer there must be a mistake!
Alice: Yes we believe it is a mistake. This boy was Bettes from the moment he was conceived till he was born how could they?
Bette: This cant be Officer Sasha is MY son. I was married to his mom and we had him together!
O. Williams: Look Bette, I know this is upsetting but we cant do anything about it. It is up to the court to decide who is the real parent of Sasha Jubraan.
Bette: Officer Kenter-Potard have you anything to say?
O. Williams spoke again and stressed his view about the matter. While talking to Bette his radio came on and his commanding Officer started talking to him. He moved to the side of the room and started to answer his radio and talk to his superior leaving Bette and the girls with Officer Kenter-Potard. The girls were still looking baffled specially Bette who was joined now by Kit and was still disturbed by the news and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Radio: Officer Williams come back to the station a situation has occurred and we request your presence.
O. Williams: Yes sir, give me few minutes to wrap things up here and i’ll be with you shortly. What about Officer Kenter would you need her to join me sir?
Radio: Yes Officer Kenter too if she has finished.
O. William: Yes sir. See you sir.
Officer Williams finished talking on his radio and came over to Bette. He looked at his colleague and raised his eyebrows.
O. Williams: I hate to say this but we are wanted on a different mission. Again we are sorry to be the bearer of bad news and sorry if weve spoilt your party but we have done what weve come here to do and now we shall leave you in piece. Officer Kenter-Potard if you are done here! Good evening ladies.
Officer Kenter cleared her throat and nodded her head and started to follow Officer Williams to the door.
Officer Williams opened the door and stepped out and hot on his heels was O. Kenter-Potard.

Bette: But Officer Kenter-Potard, arent you forgetting something?
