    Author Notes:

    Chapter 84 – Protecting My Family

     

    Putting her hand out to stop Dana’s motion “Hey let me”
    Bette says “Shane can you watch Anna for a little bit this shouldn’t take long
    and then I think we will be getting her off to bed.” Bette says as she herself
    stands up and moves towards the house.

     

    As Bette moves into the house she can hear Tina and Alice
    talking in the living room.  As she
    enters she immediately sees all the photos spread across the floor.  As she looks closer she sees the source of
    these pictures is the opened box sitting in the middle of the room.  Moving into the room, Bette peers into the
    box and recognizes immediately that it is one of the boxes from her office. Instantaneously
    Bette feels the heat as it rises up her neck and begin to spread across her
    cheeks.  Bette is feeling a mixture of
    anger and guilt.  Stiffening Bette looks
    at both Tina and Alice, not seeing any anger coming from Tina, Bette asks
    quietly “So what are you guys doing in here?”

     

    From the tone of her voice, Tina recognizes that Bette is
    angry but is trying to contain it. 
    “Bette we were just looking through some of these fabulous pictures you
    have.”

     

    Hearing Tina and not wanting her to misinterpret any of her
    anger Bette says “Well that’s nice but isn’t that one of my office boxes?”
    Still keeping her voice low.

     

    “Yeah it is, Alice
    pulled it out with these pictures and when I saw these I just had to see them
    all.” Tina says as she gets up and approaches Bette putting her arm around
    Bette’s waist as she gives her a big hug. 
    “Some of these are just amazing.”

     

    “I  I’m glad you
    like them.” Bette says in a little less rigid voice but still looks around Tina
    to Alice.  “UH Alice
    do you think that I could talk to you for a moment on the porch?”

     

    Alice
    has that deer in headlight look as she squeaks out “OH – Yeah” gets up and
    heads toward the front door.

     

    Bette looks to Tina as she grabs both her wrists and pulls
    them from around her waist “Ah Tina I will be right back I just want to have a
    little discussion with Alice.”
    Bette is looking into Tina’s eyes as she is saying this with a look that says
    ‘I am protecting my family’.

    2. I liked the way Bette handled Alice. Bette is such a tigeress when it comes to her family – I love it! When does Tina find out that Bette was there when Anna was born?

    6. Bette wants protect her family and what she says to Alice is right. And to see Bette and Tina talk so easily is the best thing. Thank you for this another great chapter.

    7. I think that Tina was okay with all of the pictures, because deep down inside she really needed to know that Bette always had and always would love her. That sort of obession without contact of some sort boarders more on an inability to let go rather than stalking, IMHO.

      I can’t quite decide whether or not it’s personality or pathology regarding Alice and her inability to control her impulses. She’s standing on shaky ground with Bette at the moment. She’d be best served to have someone else act as her proxy in all matters concerning Bette and Tina.

      I was actually waiting for Bette to tell Alice “…or you’ll be swimming with the fishes” when she was laying her out for snooping. Porter The Protector is NOT someone you want to mess with. Her quietly uttered ultimatum to Alice was menacing and sexy cool at the same time. Yeah…sexy cool – uh, I think I need a cigarette now. Or a nap.

      I like Bette questioning whether or not they need the information that Alice discovered. Shows real growth for Bette. But I still think that she should error on the side of caution and have it ready to fire off in retaliation to whatever salvo Helena is planning…and you know she is.

      First-rate chapter as always. Nice blend of touching, teasing and tension. I enjoy your posts so much!

    9. Great update, I just was able to read the last four chapters, due to my travelling I cant acces as often. And I´m not sorry for Alice she had it coming, I think Bette was soft on her :-), but glad she got the picture.
      I guess the last secret Bette has to tell Tina is she being in Anna´s birth.
      Great Jwet as always, looking forward to your updates. Thanks

    11. I agree with Narcosis. Bette with an edge is alluring. You write her as someone who has such passion for the things she cares about. When something she cares about is threatened, oh the possibilities.

    13. Great chapter but I agree Alice can’t help herself she is going to screw something up I think they need to sit with the girls and explain everything..Post soon

    17. be still my heart. i could actually feel alices fright. hellno needs to be brought down, by bette. after all she is protecting her family. tina was very understanding. i think she knew just how overwhelming distraught bette was. please dont use this against them. but yoy writers are the freaking drama queens here. who knows what youll have our girls doing. lol this was excellent as usual. soon please.

    18. Great chapter, I loved the way that Bette handled Alice. Bette is totally right, Alice was sooooooo out of line going thru her stuff like that. Niosey or not Alice needed to be put in check. Alice is this very niosy reporter type but, she should know where to draw the line when it comes to friends and family. This is one line that she does not want to cross with Bette. I love how Tina is toche by the pictures and look foward to the time when Bette tells her that she was there for Anna’s birth. Yeah, some more Tibette loving, Irene may want to leave the house that night, Ha ha. I am loving your treatment of this story, PLEASE continue.

    19. “But I have to admit it’s a little unnerving to realize that you had all these taken and I knew nothing about it.” Tina confesses. Whoa, is that an understatement or what? I’m glad Tina saw it as an expression of love though. I’m not sure all objects of such affection would be so generous in their assessment of a similar situation.

    20. Just so you know – I’ve just read all of this story over the last two days (yes I was putting off something else I should be doing..)Its a great story – I’ll be looking out for the next chapters

    21. See what happens when I’m late to the party, all the pretty words are used!

      I like how Alice is deadly afraid of “quiet” Bette. I can totally see how Alice can handle the screaming, stamping and cussing Bette! I would have chills down my back too with a quiet Bette.

      I want to be patient, but this story is so good! More, more, more!

      Thanks for sharing this story.

    23. Hey JWET, I’m finally home…woo-hoo…caught up with your oh so famous story once more and I’m still so in love with it…awesome chapter…poor Alice…she kind of deserved it though…Bette handle the situation very well I think…Tina is so wonderful…I’m glad that she understood the true meaning of those pictures and understood Bette’s love for her and Anna within every photo…loved it Jwet, thank you so very much!!!

    24. JWet,
      Not sure what words of gratitude and appreciation I can add to the ever growing list within the comments.
      The truth is that every single one of them is thoroughly deserved.
      Classic is an over-used word but one that this masterpiece fully merits.
      The give and take between Bette and Tina shows just how far each of them has come and how much they are now prepared to listen first and react second. The way you have instilled Tina with a sense of purpose and forgiveness makes my heart melt. The way you have given Bette the courage to divulge her imperfections to Tina makes my spirit soar.
      The Mama bear reaction of Bette to Alice’s inference was brilliantly calculated and realized. While it won’t stop Alice’s innate reporter instincts, it may temper them and make her pause and reassess her options.
      Looks like revenge will be a dish best served cold for Helena and so well justified.
      You are the sculptor; the empty page your block of marble; words and phrase your chisel and hammer and talent your molding and shaping. The sum of these parts far outweighs the individual items.
      Thank you for taking time to give us all a little of your genius and brighten our days.
      Questions that have arisen include:
      Was Alice prepared to be Bette’s punching bag as Bette the Basher reappears? Will Dana design Alice’s Spandex costume? Will Shane do her hair? Were the rest of the gang up at the patio doors with glasses listening it? Does Kit’s Chilli come with a health warning and a roll of toilet paper?
      I love this tall tale and always read it and then smile and grin for the rest of the day as I mentally replay each scene.
      Thank you.
      Your Loyal Fan

    25. Thanks Jwet, that was a nice exchange between Tina and Bette. Can’t wait for Bette to let her know about the rest of her “little secret.” I think it is tyme for Tina to find out. It would warm her heart to know Bette was there for her and Anna from the very beginning.
