Chapter 2 – THE PLAN

Peggy eventually reinstated Helena as the rightful heir to the Peabody legacy. For her part, Helena was apologetic towards the people she had wronged over the years and sought their understanding and tolerance, if not forgiveness. Bette, Tina and Helena finally reconciled their differences and eventually all became friends. Helena earned back the trust of her mother and her newfound friends and became a good friend herself. She eventually established a business partnership with Kit Porter, Bette’s older sister which continued until Kit’s untimely death.

Dining Room That Afternoon
“Actually,” Bette acknowledged to Tina, as they sat across from each other at the table and continued their conversation. “Peggy has already made a substantial contribution to the campaign. Both she and Helena will be back in LA before the actual election. Helena’s part of my plan B.”
“Plan B?
“Tina, you of all people should know that I always have alternatives.” Bette reminded her ex-wife. A trace of a gratifying smile on her face. “Helena and I have talked and she’s willing to help if needed. Somewhere along the line I have to think beyond just this campaign. I need to consider what could happen if I win or lose. And if I would not be successful in winning the race, I have to be prepared for options other than that.”
“And you would consider Helena to help with these plans?”
“Yes.” Bette admitted. “Contingency plans are essential, especially in the political arena. I don’t need to work given our financial situation, but I still want to be productive and contribute. But, that’s all I’ll say at the moment. We can discuss more later.”
“Smart Porter.” Tina smiled. She knew Bette had always been a planner. She inherited that trait from her father. “So, what’s Dani working on?”
“She’s going back and forth with the press trying to give them my side of what happened and explain that Tyler actually assaulted Angie by pushing her.”
“That’s true.” Tina commented rubbing her thumb on her teacup. “We need to protect Angie and you. Are you filing a restraining order against him? “
“Yes,” Bette answered, nervously rubbing her hands together. “Pierce filed it this morning with the Silver Lake and LA police departments. If he comes anywhere near Angie, me, the campaign office or this house, he’ll be arrested on the spot.”

Great – Tina in charge! I like alpha Tina!
But i see a huge problem in Bette’s campaign – i see all forgot that in LA lives not only members of LGBT community. I really don’t understand what Bette can suggest for majority of voters – white middle class straight people. Or latina – where agenda about immigration for them for example? Shelters, fight for LGBT – it’s not their agenda. What gay candidate can suggest for them? She wants be mayor of LA? – traffic problems, immigration problems, not enough cops in the street – this is common problems for big cities.
Hello Zhenya,
Thanks for the insight & comments.
My intention was not to remake the storyline of Bette running for mayor. As we have read, that storyline was Jennifer’s response to the election of 2016 & the unfavorable policies & views of the USA’s current administration.
The references to Bette’s campaign focus is setting up 2 events that will happenin later chapters.
Yes, the Tina in my story has a much stronger role & a bigger voice than in the OG series. She is an equal partner to Bette.
Hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters!!!!
Ok, restoring previous comment
Ok, i’ll try to caught up this story, but for now i can say i like it! And without Carrie even better ????
Hi Angel,
Thanks so much for your comment.
Hope you get some R&R soon!!
Carrier – thought that storyline was just so ridiculous. They really thought we would buy that Tina divorced Bette – claiming she needed space & to find herself & then get into another quick relationship???? Poor writing on the part of the Gen Q writers.
So, I will do my best to bring us a very different view.
Be safe!!!!
Thanks
A fantastic story! And Tina is a great help for Bette, Dani better listen and learn from her.
They briefly touched why they are divorced and how they feel.
And Tina’s full name Tina Porter Kennard, is that a hint?
I really love your story!
Thank you and i hope you are able to update soon!
Stay save and healthy ????
Hi Bibi,
Thanks so much for the your interest in this story.
Yes, I felt Tina needed a bigger voice & what better way than to help Bette.
Yes, there is some foreshadowing going on!!!! Remember, this is a Tibette story!!!
More to come in later chapters about their lives in NYC & the many reasons for their divorce. Like in all their past breakups & reconnecting, it takes 2 for it to happen.
Hoping to update weekly if not sooner.
Thanks again, enjoy & keep safe!!!
Catching up !
I love this Tina! If only she had been written like this ion GenQ! I would have loved to see Laurel act this, brill
Looking forward to more
SG
Thanks so much.
I have always considered Tina(LH) to be a much stronger character than IC portrayed in OG & now in Gen Q.
She would have to be to be in a long term relationship with a strong willed person such as Bette.
Enjoy more to come
I so agree about Tina’s character. As written for the Shows she would never had been noticed by Bette.
You will realise I am now caught up so will be pressing for new posts on a regular basis :-)

Hey SG,
Heard about more postings!!!!
Will try – am on an average of posting 1 per week.
Thanks for your support.
Best regards.

Really liked your description of Kit. I’d forgotten how explicitly feminist she was about business. That’s something I will make a note of for my own stories going forward. ;-)
Your Tina / Dani dynamic has me intrigued, too. And yes, Carrie gave us all a headache! Nice job to just dispose of her, haha
Am enjoying and looking forward to more x
Hey Largo,
Sorry I missed this comment you left.
If only the sins of GQ were that easy to dispensing of Carrie – she doesn’t exist!!!!!!!!!
I have always been a fan of Pam Grier way back to the 1970’s when she was mean Jackie Brown!!!!
She’ll only be able to live on in this story through flashbacks unfortunately. She does pop up a few more times I this story – so enjoy.
Didn’t want Dani to be a potential love interest to Bette so I had to find a way to smooth her rough edges & she can learn a lot from Tibette. They are both great at mentoring others.
Take care & see you on the pages!!!
Collins
