"Oh, I see. You think you’re special", Faye quipped. It never ceased to amaze the ladies how at ease she was with them. Jovial almost. Despite her failing health. Her lost daughter. Tina almost asked her what her secret was. How she managed to simply go on day after day. But she knew the answer. Simply put, you must go on. The alternative is just not an option.
Richard opened his driver’s side door when he saw Faye approach. He smiled at the ladies and opened the passenger door for her. "Thank you, Richard", Faye said kindly. She slipped inside quickly, seeking the comfort of the heated leather seats. Although it was a warm Hollywood day, Faye was easily chilled. Yet more evidence of her ever weakening state. They said their goodbyes through Faye’s open window and watched as her car pulled away.
That night after they’d enjoyed their family time and put Angelica to bed, each of the ladies brought their laptops with them to the sofa. They sat closely and drank from their wine before plugging the flash drives into their computers. They sat in silence while reading the case files that Richard put together. They read for two hours, taking only small breaks for more wine or to check on Angie. Some of the records were a little more detailed than Bette and Tina would have liked. The fact that Cora had been in at least five pornographic films was just the least of them. Details of the abuse she’d suffered under her father. Hospital records spanning the ages of seven to fourteen. Photos of bruises, gashes, and burns. Photos also of Faye with many of the same injuries.
"How on earth did this man avoid jail?", Bette asked incredulously, shaking her head, near tears.
"Ok, babe", Tina said, closing her laptop and setting it on the coffee table. "We need a break. This is too much to go over all at once."
Bette continued to stare at her screen. She watched as it slowly folded down under Tina’s hand and was removed from her lap. Bette glanced sideways at Tina’s warm features. Tina leaned back at one end of the sofa and rested her legs on Bette’s lap. Bette instinctively rested her hands on Tina’s legs and began to caress them. "I love you Tina. I love our family so much." She looked into Tina’s hazel eyes and spoke just an octave above a whisper. "Please. Don’t let anything happen to it."

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.
