Irene OConner was excited about being in America. She had been in country for a week now and was getting use to the cars on the right side of the road and the different slang the Americans used. The excitement was still fresh when Miss Jentrys car pulled up to this adorable little house. It seemed really well kept in a cute neighborhood. Miss Jentry had filled Irene in on Tina Kennard, her sponsor, who sounded like a cool lady that Irene could relate too. What she did for a living, all about her little girl and what Irenes expectations would be during her stay here. Irene was to watch Anna on a daily basis during the week and on and off during the weekends. While watching Anna, Irene would also be responsible for light house work and laundry. Cooking was optional and was to be worked out between Irene and Tina. Evenings were Irenes and also all day Sunday.
Irene was a beautiful girl, slight of build and long straight red hair that let everyone guess she was Irish before they ever heard her name or even her lovely accent which rolled out of her mouth. Coming to the States had been a dream of hers for the last few years but she wanted to finish up her schooling to be a teacher before she took this adventure. Her plan was to have this huge trip and then return home to settle down and be the girl that her parents raised her to be. Irene was excited to be in the LA but also grateful as one of her best friends had also gotten a position nearby in Burbank. They would be able to talk daily and also see each other on their off time.
Meeting Tina Kennard and Anna made Irene a little nervous. Irene had read the report that Ms Jentry had sent so many times that she had each word memorized. The idea of taking care of an infant thrilled Irene and now she just hoped that she and Ms. Kennard would get off to a good start. As Miss Jentry pulled her car into the cutest house, Irenes nerves were almost getting the best of her. Taking a deep breath before she opens the car door and gets out. Looking up to the house, Irene saw the nice looking woman with a baby in her arms standing on the front porch with a huge smile on her face. The moment Irene saw Tina standing there her stomached settled down and she began to think that this was going to be OK. This was going to be the best year.

another scary scenio for Bette – Tina accepts the directorship but is in a personal relationship with someone else. Oh my, please don’t go there; my heart won’t be able to take it!
Great story, looking forward to the framily gathering and meeting Irene.
It’s a very good chapter and your story is so great.
Jackie knows so well Bette’s situation so she can speak about it with Bette with her life’s experience. May be Bette needs some help because she don’t know what she could do even she try to do the best things for Tina and Anna. Because of that, she forgets the main point.
Another great chapter. Bette needs to talk to Tina, Tina has noticed the changes in Bette but have they really talked?
They are both holding back, Jwet give them a little push in the right direction.
Thank you.
one of the best stories out right now. the pacing is coming along real good, very realistic. keep up the good work!
Go ahead and take the advice she is right. Love it!
I love all these secondary characters that you’ve created. Great chapter, and I like that Bette is takning things slow.
LOVE THE WAY TO WRITE PLEASE POST SOON GREAT CHAPTER
This chapter is awesome and hope Bette listen to Jackie. Post soon, thank you!
Jwet – I hold no ownership on the phrase HOT MONKEY LOVE, so it is free to use with both my approval and encouragement, although with the disclaimer that it apply to Bette and Tina. But, given it’s your story, I can’t really dictate terms. (I just hope, for Anna’s sake, that Shane’s moves with the au pair come when she’s off duty.)
Jackie…kick Bette’s butt on this one, she deserves it, and needs the push. Then again, an ActionTina action figure might help, also.
Nicely done chapter. Thanks.
Jackie is a good friend to Bette, she is giving her good advice. I like the fact that Tina (indeed nobody) will ever know about Bette’s involvement in the foundation
i love your story Jwet,you are truly an amazing story teller!!!!
I’m beginning to like this Jackie character more and more as your story progresses. She’s a good friend…Bette should accept her advices with open arms…they can really benefit her. Ah, I’m guessing this new Au Pair is straight…since she wants to be the girl that her parents raised her to be…I predict so much changes in her while her stay in LA…especially with Tina and the girls. She’s another Jenny!! Nah, I’m only making observations;P I love your story Jwet, please update soon=)
Good that Bete has somebody she feels she is able to ask for advice. New thing asking – and taking for it! Shows she is changing. Lucky Tina.
EXCELLENT!!! Wow what wisdom Jackie has shared with Bette I hope she listens..Beautifully written..Please continue and psot soon..Love it
Thus another great chater by Jwet!!! or Thus spoke Jwet the L-word fanfic writer… this is good Jwet thanks…
Wonderfully vivid chapter. I love Jackie and her advice to Bette. I look forward to more!
“Don’t let your own opportunities pass you by. You may never get them back” – That is so true. Come on Bette, its time to come out from the background. Go and be with your family. Grrrrreeeeaaaattttt update :)
Thanks for another exceptional chapter. Sure hope Bette takes Jackie’s advice.
Loved this. Hope Bette listens to Jackie.
Wow! Jwet, i have just caught up with this……. truly amazing story. i especially love your portrayal of Bette. You certainly are one hell of a writer:). I am a big big fan of anything you write and this story only further enhances that ….Thank you:)
Another fabulous chapter.
Such an articulate and expressive talent you have.
The imagery and depiction of these characters is truly a marvel to behold.
I can completely visualise Irene meeting Tina and Anna as well as Jackie being a sounding board for Bette as she shares her life experiences to prevent Bette from making the same mistakes. Looks like Bette is finally ready to hear what Jackie has to say.
Am sure that you have a few hiccups in store but hope to get these two star-crossed lovers back together.
Awaiting your next post.
Hello,Jwet
I enjoyed this chapter very much. I am hoping that Bette will listen and get the one thing that is so important to her life.
I don’t see how you post so many chapters, but keep up the great job.
