Great Unexpectations Chapter 26
Tina lay the pen on the table when she was done and exhaled loudly. Bette reached for her hand and held it tightly. It was becoming real now. They were in this. They would be working with Faye until her dying day. They were as sure of that as they were of their love for each other. Mr. Jenkins slowly moved the forms to Faye. "Before you sign these Mrs. Buckley, I’d like to once again remind you that this removes all of your rights to this money."
Faye picked up the pen triumphantly and signed. "Yes, Jenkins. I’m well aware of what I’m doing." Bette and Tina noticed with no small amount of glee that being referred to simply as ‘Jenkins’, with no title before it, seemed to irritate him above a level of his norm. His face reddened subtly. He sat back in his chair uncomfortably and crossed his arms haughtily. Had he been two years old, he would have been a perfect match for Angelica when she didn’t get her way. Not wanting to infuriate him any further they shied their eyes away and let him have his moment of petulance.
As they walked across the street to their cars Faye chuckled. "He’s what we used to call a ‘real stick in the mud’." The ladies laughed softly in agreement. "How did you end up with him, Faye", Tina asked.
Faye sighed. "That was courtesy of Mr. Buckley. He went to every other decent lawyer in town and spoiled them before I even knew it. This was just before our divorce. He’d pay them four, five hundred dollars for their initial consult fee and then move on to the next one. Remember, he was a lawyer himself, and had either worked with many of them or was acquaintances with them. Every office I walked into for months turned me away because of the conflict of interest. When I found Jenkins I was so happy that he’d never heard of Mr. Buckley I hired him immediately." Now on the other side of the street she stopped to look them in the eyes with a sparkle. "And he’s been a pain in my ass ever since."
"I thought he was only that way with us", Bette said.

I hate coming up with sumaries myself Red no worries.Glad to see another chapter.I’m glad the family is going to support them.
Loved the Alice/Dana bit. :) That still cracks me up that Dana was the one who took Alice’s coin. xD Jenkins is an old codger. =P
I really enjoyed the visitation too. Angie mimicking Mama B was, needless to say, impossibly cute. I hope you’re spared the gov’t shutdown, but if it happens at least there’s a silver lining for your faithful readers.
This story has so many sides to it. Very well written. Thanks for letting the gang step up. Loved little Angie mimicking Bette…too cute. PPS
Great chapter! Loved it all. PPS!!
what is all that whining about Red? The chapter was great and, as you predicted, I loved the Alice/Dana bit. so now you’ve set the table here, time to serve the meal and get everyone trashed! We’ll be waiting…PPS
What a lovely Sunday night treat, red. Loved the chapter… Alice/Dana and Bette/Angie…too cute. I only wish the show was written as cleverly as your fanfic. It’s hard reading about what was done to Cora at the hands of her father. He needs to be fed his own testicles. Sorry to hear of your possible lay-off. Will keep good thoughts for you.
Kit needs Power of Attorney in case something happens to B & T to gain custody of Angie. Intriguing and exciting.
I’m glad B&T realize how lucky they are and are going to do thing thing to help Faye with the full support of their family. Ah, Dana… Al definitely made the right choice. And Angie is too cute! Thanks for the chapter, red. (And I hope everything stays okay for you job-wise.)
Another great chapter. It had so much good stuff–the framily is back, B&T great interactions, AND (ruffles and flourishes) Angelica!!!! The cutest baby evah.
I keep falling many days behind. Not sure what is happening but always behind. First of all I love the dialog between Faye and B&T. Too bad it all started off the way that it did. The extended family will be good to work with to help find Cora. I miss Dana and wish that she would continue to visit Alice.
Good that the gang with them on this!
Glad you brought Dana in for so comic relief. It nice to see the framily ready to support the girls. Looking forward this adventure.
great chapter Red. the baby imitating Bette was priceless, they love each other so much it isjust wonderful to see the little family togerther. Happy to see that the extended family will help in whatever way necessary. Hopefully they can find Cora before Faye succumbs to the disease and they can say goodbye and let Faye tell her daughter how sorry that nothing was done and that she could not help it. this is some story Red. Post when you can. Don’t worry about the sumaries Red, they wil take care of themselves.
