    Bette’s Two Home Visits

    Bette escorted Roberta into the living room. Tina stood up and greeted her warmly. Roberta responded in kind then turned her attention to the others in the room while Bette made the introductions.

    “This is Angelica’s grandfather Melvin Porter, her cousin David Waters, her aunt Kit Porter, and her uncle James Cohen.”

    “Her uncle?” Bette could see Roberta trying to make the familial connection. Was he Kit’s partner or Tina’s brother or Bette’s half-brother?

    “Yes, her uncle; no relation. James is my best male friend and partner in various business ventures. He can vouch for my fiscal responsibility and financial stability if you need references.”

    “That won’t be necessary. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” Roberta was starting to feel intimidated and certainly had lost the upper hand. Tina also realized that all the coaching she’d done with Bette to keep her cool was forgotten. She refused to have this unqualified woman controlling her situation. When Bette was in alpha mode few people stood a chance of besting her, and Roberta Collier wasn’t one of them.

    “There’s someone else I’d like you to meet. He’s in the kitchen.” Tina joined them as they walked into the kitchen and found a young man testing the temperature of Angie’s milk bottle.

    “Hey Angus. I’d like you to meet the social worker who is evaluating my worthiness to be Angie’s mom. Roberta Collier. Roberta this is Angie’s Manny Angus Partridge.”

    “What’s a Manny?”

    “I’m the nanny, but since I’m a man Bette affectionately calls me the Manny. It’s nice meeting you Ms. Collier.”

    “You as well. What’s your experience?”

    “Bette and Tina have my full resume. If you’ll excuse me. It’s time for Angie’s feeding. She’ll be a lot happier about meeting her nana if she gets her bottle.”

    “Thank you, Angus.” Both Bette and Tina said at the same time grateful to have him.

    Turning back to Roberta Bette touted Angus’ qualifications. “Angus is more than a nanny; we hope he’ll play a significant role in Angie’s life for many years to come. He’s been in the childcare business for 19 years. He’s certified in 12 childcare training courses including CPR, first-aid, water safety, infant care, early childhood education, and physical fitness. He’s fluent in three languages so he can certainly help us to teach Angie a second language. He’s also an accomplished singer and musician so he has a great voice which Angie already recognizes but I think it’s the scratchy unshaven face that really captivates her.”

    1. 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.

    2. 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!!!

    3. 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

    4. 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.

    5. 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? : )
