“Thank you, daddy.” Bette kissed her father’s cheek.
“Is there anything else you need to inspect Roberta?” Bette asked.
Feeling a little foolish and not exactly sure what to do she answered. “I haven’t looked at the kitchen.”
“Feel free. Help yourself to food or drink if you like. We’ll be in the living room when you finish.” Bette took Tina’s hand as the three of them rejoined their family.
Roberta inspected the lower cabinet doors and drawers. Each had safety locks. All the exposed electrical outlets were covered. There was nothing on the counters that could fall off. She checked the adjoining laundry room and found all the detergents and cleaning supplies on high shelves behind locked doors. She could not site one safety issue that Bette and Tina with Angus’ help had not addressed.
She grabbed a bottled water from the cooler on the way out. Hovering by the living room entrance she watched the happy reunion between Bette and Peggy and how proud she was to introduce her daughter to the woman that Angie would know as nana. Wilson and Jung Yin were also thrilled to see the baby that came out of Ms. Tina’s tummy; still fascinated with having heard the heartbeat they retold the story repeatedly.
Tina still felt the flush of embarrassment whenever she was reminded of her first meeting with Winnie. However, having witnessed the animosity between Winnie and Helena made her realize that this wasn’t how she wanted things to be with Bette. She never wanted either of them to be in a position where the other would want to take her child away. No matter what the result of the adoption petition they were both equally Angie’s parents and they would raise her together.
The night Tina called Bette and left that voicemail her heart told her she was doing the right thing. She didn’t stop dating Helena, but she forged a partnership with Bette that eventually led them back to where they both belonged.
At the same time Bette and Winnie formed a very different partnership as they joined forces to combat Helena’s malevolence. Joyce Wischnia didn’t even take Bette’s money when they presented the custody case to her. Winnie agreed to Joyce receiving 10% of the settlement regardless of the amount, but the lawyer was sure it would be in the millions. She took it on as a challenge to topple Helena Peabody, and she’d succeeded beyond Bette or Winnie’s expectations.

Hi! Thank you for the chapter!
But i must say that even if i don’t like character Roberta both in the TLW and in your story ironically that the only real obstacle for Bette in TLW on her way for adopting Angelica was only Bette herself when she as trying to go to court and than to kidnap Angelica.
Hey Bat, it took awhile to write this chapter, but wow it was worth the waiting!!!!
I never liked or cared for Roberta and i think you did a excellent job to show her true colors.
And how Bette told her of about what she finds important to show and learn Angie, well done. The same for Tina, so happy to read how she supported Bette and came up for her!!!!
Looks like Helena is loosing it, she gets what she deserves, finally!!!
Looking forward to the next chapter!!!
Hi
Thanks BAT really enjoyed this.
Have I said how much I enjoy having you back posting? :-)

Another great chapter, I am so glad that Tina told Roberta what was what. People with those types of biases should not be in the social work business. And I think she is lucky it was Melvin and not Peggy that heard the conversation she was having with Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS
Hello Bat, thanks for another wonderful chapter. Oh my, that Roberta character was a super bitch on the show and you let her show that continuation, didn’t like her then and even less this time. So happy you let Bette and Tina give her what for as well as Melvin chiming in with his summation of her and that nasty attitude. She doesn’t know this but, if Peggy P had added her two cents worth she might be looking for another job, and it hasn’t been determined that Peggy won’t intervene, she has a long reach and knows all kinds of people. I really liked that Tina gave her a piece of her mind as well without tearing her apart. She is really in the wrong profession with her biases and attitude, God bless those that don’t have as much help as our girls and that have to put up with that woman. There are people like her all over the Social Services environment. Again, thanks for a great chapter. Thanks for posting. Have a great week.
Hi BAT2012, hope all is well with you. I’m kind of missing your fic and would love to read a new chapter. No rush, but, it has been over a month since we have heard from you. Do you think we could get a quick chapter or two sometime soon? : )
