A few days before Valerie’s show at the Porter Art Gallery the Peabody jet was headed back to New York to pick up Marcus, and Francesca to bring them to Los Angeles. The pilot was instructed to stop in Chicago on the way to New York to pick up another passenger; Ms. Kit Porter. Kit boarded the private jet and was helped with her luggage and escorted to her seat by the flight attendant. He told her they would be departing in about 15 minutes. Kit was settling into her seat preparing for the flight to Los Angeles when she heard a familiar voice behind her. “Ms. Porter may I offer you something to drink before takeoff?”
She turned around to find Bette standing behind her with a wide grin on her face. “Baby sis? What are you doing here? I thought you were meeting me in Los Angeles?” Kit got up and hugged her baby sister. She clung to her tightly as they hadn’t seen each other in several months. They would have stood there longer if the flight attendant hadn’t asked them to be seated and buckle up for take-off.
“Slight change of plans Kit. We’re flying to New York tonight and back to Los Angeles tomorrow morning with Marcus and Francesca.”
“What brings you to New York? Aren’t you doing your emerging artist show in four days?”
“Yes. Everything’s under control. We’ll be back in plenty of time.”
“That’s a switch. You’re usually running around like a mad woman yelling at people a couple of days before your shows. Instead here you are relaxed, looking as beautiful as ever, leisurely flying to New York for a couple of days. What’s going on?”
“You’re going to be an Aunt Kit.”
“You’re going to do it?”
“Yes. I’m going to adopt Marcus and Francesca’s baby. I didn’t want to tell them over the phone. I wanted to do it in person but I couldn’t wait for them to come to Los Angeles so I decided to fly back with the pilot.”
If it weren’t for the seat belt restraints Kit would have been jumping up and down for joy, but Bette could see how happy she was by the matching grin on her face. They had different mothers but they had both inherited their father’s emotive facial expressions.

I am sure you left out a couple of pages. ;-) Excellent chapter. I wonder if Tina will be upset that Bette didn’t tell her about her adoption plans? Eric seems awfully bossy especially if Tina and he have an “open” relationship. Tina seems kind of mousy/timid when it comes to Eric. Just my observation. Looking forward to more. Thanks for writing frequently and longer chapters as well.
azmama thank you for continuing to read and commenting on this story. Your observation about Tina and Eric’s “open” relationship is very astute. More will be revealed about Eric’s behavior in a future chapter.
Good chapter I’m glad everyone but Tina heard the happy news. I on the other hand think Tina shouldn’t be upset as she chose to wait for Eric and one thing led to another on that issue. If Bette does tell Tina than she has to be supportive as the next 3 months bette’s mind will be on this baby. The feeling I’m getting this baby is coming early am I wrong? Francesca wasn’t feeling too great after the show? so am I reading into it too much?
Dee22 we’ll soon see Tina’s reaction when she finally hears the news. No worries about Francesca. She will take the baby to full term. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Tina doesn’t seem too interested in Eric from a relationship standpoint as it looks more like an arrangement than anything else but she lets him kind of dictate things to much for them not being serious..And since she missed Bette’s announcement about the baby I hope she is supportive in Bettes decision when she does find out
Pie_Fair like azmama you too have hit the nail on the head regarding Tina and Eric’s relationship. More will be revealed about their intimacy. Stay tuned for Tina’s reaction to the news when she finally hears it. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Please get rid of Eric……
els73 – I’m working on it. :-)

Bette pity not to have the opportunity to talk about Tina
adoption, however, I know she will give support to Bette.
This story is excellent.
