    Author Notes:

    Chapter 25 Good Advice

    Youre probably right. Tina is an amazing person and well maybe in the past I just havent given her talents enough credit. Bette begins after thinking about what Jackies statement. I mean dont get me wrong, I have always thought Tina was amazing. Its just that I think I let my own wants and needs get in the way and derailed her ambitions a little.

    Well the sky is the limit for someone with Tinas combination of talent and compassion. She seems to have the aptitude and desire to move forward with this project. Do you really think she will take the directorship when we finally offer it to her? Jackie asks.

    We offer you mean when you offer her the job. I need to be no where near this. Bette reminds Jackie.

    Jackie hears Bette but wants to absolutely be sure on a few points as there will be no going back. Bette there is something I wanted to make clear to you and now seems like a good time. You realize that once we have all these things finalized, your role at the foundation is done, finished. That while we have great plans they may not happen. I mean you understand you cant make Tina do anything, right? I mean if Tina decides the answer is no there is nothing you can do to change the situation. I will have to find another person to run YOUR foundation. I mean the worst case scenario is that you would have created this foundation and placed all your money into an organization which your name doesnt show up anywhere. I mean for Christ sake there are only three of us who even know of your involvement. Can you live with that? Jackie seems to have put all the million dollar thoughts into one long question.

    Bette smiles at Jackie Yes I can live with that. I realize that might be the outcome maybe not at the very beginning but early on in the process. Bette is smiling more as she realizes that Jackie is trying to protect Bette from getting hurt. Jackie I dont want to make Tina do anything. I just want to provide her opportunities which will fulfill her life. I really believe providing the right support, Tina will grow into the job of Director. If we were to offer her the position at this very moment it would overwhelm her and she would definitely turn it down. I want to create that nurturing environment where Tina has that self realizing epiphany where she says to herself Hey I CAN do that job. Now when we get there I will be singing from the stars. Bette says this all with a smile as she sees this pretty picture she has created.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    9. 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.

    10. 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

    12. 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=)

    13. 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.

    17. “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 :)

    20. 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:)

    21. 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.

    22. 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.
