    Chapter 34 – Having Confidence in Yourself

    I sorry Bette but I would like to interject here. It has come to my attention that some in this room are concerned about your handling of the budget. It has been suggested that we do a complete audit of the current funding in order to make sure that the funding picture is complete as you have portrayed. Franklin completes this little speech to the complete silence of everyone in the room.

    All eyes shift to Bette as if waiting for the explosion that was sure to be Bette Porter. As they look all they see is the beginnings of a smile forming on Bette lips, as she knew immediately who in the room was questioning the budget and just how bogus that accusation really is. As Bette thinks quickly on her feet she realizes that Helena is trying to stall her in any endeavor she may try to engage the CAC in. Why? She doesnt like the Center anymore. She must still be angry with Tina. As these thoughts were running though Bettes mind she was adapting her actions on the fly to beat Helena at her own game.

    While this is a serious issue we would not want to short change anyone. Bette starts out with the same serious tone that Franklin had use. Today I have invited a guess to talk to us about a collaboration which would be interesting for the board to hear. I would hate to be rude and send him away but if we must we must. I was just wondering if with the boards support we could at least hear his proposal before we delve into the budget and any short falls real or imagined.

    With that the board shifts uncomfortably and all but one agrees to let Oscar make his presentation. James is summoned to bring Oscar in. As James is making his way to retrieve Oscar, the room is very quite with many of the board members looking from Bette to Helena. As Bette is comfortable and self assured that there is nothing wrong with the budget, she is comfortable and her body language projects that confidence of a woman on top of the world.

    1. Hey Jwet,
      Have been away on a course for a few days so haven’t posted any comments however need to say “WOW”. Luv the way this story just keeps getting better and better. The way Tina and Bette are growing is fabulous. They do need to make their own paths before they can navigate through the forest together. Things look bright but am surte that you have some bumpy roads ahead.
      More wonderful chapter please.
      Reading your story puts a big grin on my face everyday.
      Thank you,
      A fan.

    3. Sweet – Sweet. That’s all I can think right now, just so sweet. Tina needs to start sharing these new moments with Bette. Please get them there….soon.

    4. I love this new Porter. I think the baby is having a calming, centering effect upon her.
      I’m looking forward to how you get them back together.
      I’m assuming you get them back together. We wouldn’t want Anna grow up in a single-parent home, would we?
      Thanks for posting another chapter!

    5. its time for Tina realize that she is losing a precious time dont get back together with Bette this kind of thing with the baby she must have been with Bette when happens she must do something cuzz she loves Bette and B loves her..post soon

    6. Finally a chance to read. Don’t worry Tina it’s going to be ok. Now I guess Bette and Tina have change places. Bette at home more often and Tina working more. Hmmmm.. Love it!!

    7. Haha…Helena, what an evil witch!!…How could she accuse Bette of embezzlement?!…geez…I’m glad Franklin defended Bette. I love the scenes with Bette and lil’ Anna…MUSH=D…Aww…I hope Tina gets over this jealousy&guilt…it’ll only push Bette further away if she doesn’t control it…her and Bette should have a lil’ talk. LOVE this chapter Jwet! 5 on the mush factor!=P

    8. it’s sad that tina gets to miss these moments. i know it’s very important to first time parents that they witness and celebrate every little thing. but i’m glad bette was at least there. great update!

    9. Great to see Bette didn’t stoop to Hell-on-wheels’ level. I hope Tina doesn’t do anything to mess up Anna’s and Bette’s relationship out of jealousy.

    12. This story totally ROCKS!! I love how you portray Bette as Anna’s ‘other mom’ Jwet……i can see more and more every chapter that is what she is (isn’t she??)…….so cute. This story captures me every single time …..i have loved it from the very first chapter and you still have me enthralled every update…….thanks so much for this truly delightful tale…….Eagerly awaiting ‘the kiss’too….update soon…ta:)

    13. Now that the proverbial ‘shoe is on the other foot’, I hope that Tina realises this and can understand what Bette was dealing with prior to their demise. Great chapter!

    14. My you were sneaky you posted another chapter yesterday, okay i’m behind blame the time zones. (Not complaining that you posted twice in the one day)
      I have a question re the last chapter:-
      “Custard Stand” this made me laugh and it sells ice cream, why is it called a Custard Stand, i’m just inquisitive.

      It’s looking like a role reversal for Tina, she is taking on some of Bette’s old habits but this is only temporary until the grant is finished, so i hope she doesn’t get to jealous of Bette spending the time with Anna. Maybe Bette can hangback and talk to Tina once Anna is asleep and tell Tina how they spent their time together.

      Thanks for the update Jwet and have a nice weekend..

    16. Maybe B&T should get together and compare stupid baby tricks. Or how about all 3 at a picnic for a change? Nice bringing Shane into the mix. Sorry we don’t get any extra bits today. Looking forward to seeing where this all goes.

    17. I’m hoping that Tina isn’t so much *jealous* of Bette’s time with Anna as she is regretful of the time she’s having to spend at work. Bette is so happy and so content in her time w/Anna that it would be too painful to watch her suffer any more pain. Thanks for another great chapter!

    18. I just love this story. It’s the first thing I read when I turn on my computer in the morning as I have my coffee. I don’t even care if the pace of the story is somewhat slower. I just feel it building into something sweet and lasting for Bette, Tina,and Anna. And the anticipation is … well it’s worth it. I don’t know where you find the time to keepus updated daily. Oh but you can be sure we’re so appreciative. Your ideas are very creative, your characterizations are consistent – you write very well. I do love this story a lot. Thank you and more power to you.

    20. I really like the tender mommy side of Bette, I hope Tina will see that more and not be jealous – just gratful for how much Bette loves Anna. Great chapter.

    21. Woo, this was totally awesome. Grr that Helena should walk into oncoming traffic. Maybe with all the stuff Anna is doing Tina will want Bette around more when she is there to see these things. More soon.

    22. Hey Jwet Thank you that was so Beautiful Amazing Story you make my day again I love it anyway I hope that Tina not jealousy for all that Bette always there for Anna life I don’t think Tina is jealous I think Tina she have alot to missed all of Bette and Anna Bonding together I think that was Tina Missed keep going Please post soon.

    23. Hear that guys? Begging totally works. Consider this begging and groveling/crying/pleading and everything inbetween. Loved it. I really love your Shane in this story. B&T are wicked awesome in this story, but Shane is a perfect touch. And Anna…well she’s nothing short of amazing.

      Pleading for more…

    25. Good chapter. Hope Tina not stop Bette to come to the house and play with Anna, the jealousy of Tina will try her crazy and she need to be with Bette now or she can’t control herself that she still have a strong feeling for Bette. Oh I think this is a good twist, Bette stay home offen and be a home wife and Tina be working more, and this is will be very fun. Post soon, thank you!

    26. I so love this story. I think I see where this story is going — Bette not sure what she is going to do once her “project” is completed. Tina gaining confidence at work and more responsiblities. Role reversal!!! Great twist. Bette will be the stay at home wife and Tina the working one. Love it!!
