They worked together in the kitchen making preparations for the family dinner the following evening. Emma had suggested Chinese Stir-fry and she was going to try her home made fortune cookie recipe. They’d decided to share their news with the family via customized messages inserted in the fortune cookie. They would make a game of it just for fun.
“Are you still planning the trip to New York on Monday?” Emma asked since Bette’s schedule was ever changing.
Bette had been making frequent trips to New York to oversee the Allyn Barnes collection and working closely with Alyson Cabot to carefully select the pieces that would be shipped to California for the Retrospective. On occasion Emma would make the trip with her, but this time she was taking Michael.
“Yes but just for two days. Michael is flying out with me and both Alyson and Allyn will be returning with us. All the paintings will be shipped on Tuesday. They should arrive by the end of the week. Once we have everything here we can start building the displays. I’m really excited to get going and the timing couldn’t be better.”
“I’m happy that you won’t be traveling so much anymore. You know I worry when I can’t go with you.”
“You don’t have to worry that’s why I’m taking Michael with me. He’s more of a mother hen than Kit.”
“He does fuss over you but I’m glad you have him. So you’ll be back on Wednesday evening?”
“Yes and Thursday is the big day. That’s when everything comes to a head.”
“Have you talked to Peggy?”
“Yes. She got our package yesterday. She was beside herself with joy. She’ll be in London tomorrow.”
“So she’ll be back in time?”
“Absolutely; she wouldn’t miss it.”

Tina spent Saturday morning as usual getting pampered at the day spa and running errands. She was expecting Henry and Mikey to come over later in the afternoon. Henry had promised to help her to put up some shelving in the study and to install outdoor speakers in her backyard. Later they planned to grill burgers, watch movies and play video games. It was to be a typical day with her boyfriend and his son.

Hi Bat, thank you for this update, I didn’t have time to comment much in the former chapter. In this one I think in Tina’s POV, she didn’t know the big problem between Helena and Bette, she was ignorant of most part of conflict Bette didn’t warn her (and again Bette is acting overprotecting and underestimating Tina, where is the hand of Emma?), but I think Tina is acting with jealousy and try to hook with the first woman in her way, that looks nice to her; what I find unfair again is that everybody (the gang and Kit) are treating her as if she was a real bitch, Bette wasn’t the only one suffering, Tina was and still is very lost; and at the moment Tina hasn’t slept with Helena they just met the same day (as I mentioned in a former comment, I was hoping that Helena could be the tool to bring Tina back from hetero-Ville), what makes me feel very bad is the gang behaving as Bette’s entourage; as Bette was emotionally sick, Tina was/ is and probably worst and she fell even deeper but who cares, she doesn’t have real friends and now even Henry is treating her “You could end up losing everything including Mikey and me”, isn’t it a way to force people to do something? Well Bat, it only rest me to tell you that I love your story and it’s wonderful that you are posting every day, I’ll be waiting willingly for the next chapter. Sorry for bugging too much. Thanks again
Even if BETTE has moved on (supposedly)wanting to know all that was said and who said what is defeating the purpose for me.TINA is falling for HELENA but only in a gratuitous way yet if not careful she will become her puppet as the signs are showing when she found out someone other than BETTE is in TINA’s life.Tread carefully TINA even tho you don’t want to alienate the family or BETTE you are doing yourself a disservice by not admitting you want BETTE,back,you are gay,and you still love her.TINA needs some alone time.HENRY needs to back up and away from this relationship as he has served his purpose.Why does BETTE not tell TINA before the others ?is she leaving the door open on them or she’s afraid this would really be the nail in the coffin for TIBETTE and this isn’t what she wants.THANKS,ps.
Tina really is stuck between a rock and a hard place – and she seems to be hell bent on removing herself from her ‘former’ friends and family as well as her ‘new’ one. And I think Bette’s right she would not have heeded any warning from Bette regarding Helena. Perhaps Tina really needs to hit rock bottom before she is coming to her senses – we will have to wait and see, I suppose.
Hopefully Tina’s not doing something stupid if she discovers that Bette’s pregnant and starting her family with Emma. But on the other hand that could be exactly what she needs to get closure too. As I assume she still holds on hope that she and Bette could get back together after she eventually knows what she really wants.
Thanks for sharing your outstanding talent with us and looking forward to your next post.
Really don’t like this version Tina! Very immature. Thanks
As you know I really like Tina in almost everything you write but this Tina is far from the Tina that I care about. In the last chapter she was really being spiteful and a tad hateful. Bette is right, if she had tried to talk with her and possibly now she would not listen. Even though I never liked Henry, through no fault of his own, I’m really glad that he talked with Tina and hopefully with helenas’ bitchy attitude, just maybe Tina is seeing a little what she is like. Can hardly wait until Peggy shows up and strips helena of the position of being over the foundation and whatever else she is going to do to her. Damn, that will be great!!! Tina will really be shocked when she discovers that Bette is expecting, that will be monumental in their newly forging friendship, and at least Tina realized what a mess she created by taking helbitch with her to the party and how she reacted to everyone trying to talk with her. Really do hope she will listen to Bette if and when Bette tries to talk with her. Just maybe when Peggy shows up and strips helena there will be no need for Bette to talk with her. She will learn firsthand what everyone was talking about. For Bette, I hope everything works out well for her with the baby since that is what she has always wanted. As you know, I would always want Tina and Bette together with a baby. Emma should be a very stabilizing force for Bette. Seems Tina has lost any chance she might have had for a renewed relationship with Bette. Thanks for posting.
Also loved what Kit and henry had to say to Tina, hope she will listen to someone before she is in over her head and gets hurt. Thanks.
