    “I am the one that is blessed Francesca. Thank you.” They all share a group hug and Marcus gets up to get drinks for everyone.

    “This calls for a celebration. Sorry no champagne but we have sparkling water.”

    “That will do for now. We will have plenty of time for celebration.” While Marcus gets the drinks Bette asks Francesca if she’s given thought to the business proposition that she, James and Peggy have come up with.

    “I have. Marcus and I discussed it. We both agree that it’s a good idea for me to stay in Los Angeles for the birth. He’s going to be very busy preparing for the group show. It’s best for me to be closer to family in my final weeks.” Bette didn’t miss that Francesca already thought of her and Peggy as family even before Bette made it official.

    “I’m also really excited about working with you and James on the Peabody collection. I’ve already given notice to my employer. I don’t need to come back here after tomorrow but I will need to send for my things.  I also spoke to my doctor and he’s given me some referrals for a new OBGYN unless you can recommend someone.”

    “I would highly recommend Dr. Wilson. She’s been my doctor for years and a very good friend. I can schedule an appointment for you next week so you can meet her. I will call Michael so he can arrange to have your things packed and shipped. You will both stay with me at my home in West Hollywood. Marcus you can fly back whenever you need to. As a matter of fact if you want to give up the lease on this place you can stay at the loft.”

    “Bette that would be great if I could do that.”

    “Consider it done. We’ll fly to LA for the show and you can spend a few days. We’ll work out the logistics of getting you moved next week.”

    “Thank you for everything Bette. You and Peggy have been so good to us.”

    “We’re happy to do it. You have no worries from now on. We will take very good care of you.”

    The foursome spent a bit more time talking about plans then Bette got up indicating it was time to leave. ”Kit and I better get going so you can rest. We will see you in the morning. The car will be here at 9:30 am”

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.
      Great chapter.
