Great Unexpectations Chapter 26
Tina’s worried eyes looked back at her. "Come here, babe", she beckoned. Bette laid down next to Tina on the sofa. The cramped quarters encouraged a close snuggle. Not an entirely unappealing idea for the lovers. Tina held Bette and stroked her hair as Bette rested her head on Tina’s chest. "Nothing like that is ever gonna happen to our family. It’s just not possible. No more bad stuff for us. I’ve got a happily-ever-after kind of ending in mind." Bette nodded her head silently and gave a gentle squeeze to her blonde. They held each other, saying nothing, until sleep claimed them.

About that same time, across town, Alice sat in her apartment, overcome with a stillness that a certain amount of alcohol brings. The reason for the alcohol was staring her down. Daring her to open it. A small padded manilla envelope. The name of the sender was irrelevant. The content of the package, though unopened, inspired a sense of bereft she’d not felt since…
She’d forgotten that her bid for the elusive ten dollar token was the winning bid. She’d won before Shane told her of Dana’s prank. Now it was here. Staring at her. Waiting to be freed from it’s packing. Begging to be slammed down onto a bar room table. Alice lifted the beer bottle to her lips and drank of it heavily with tears forming in her eyes.
"Are you gonna get drunk off your ass, or are you gonna open it?", a familiar voice chided from behind. With the bottle still to her lips, Alice’s heartbeat spiked. It was no small miracle that she didn’t drop her bottle right then and there. She turned around to see Dana looking back at her with her hands on her hips and a disapproving look on her face. "Fuck, Dana! You scared the shit out of me!"
"Well, what’s the fun of being a ghost if I can’t scare people?", Dana smiled.
"You’re not a ghost, you dyke. You’re just in my head."
"I prefer Lesbian American please", Dana replied, tongue firmly in cheek. Alice looked into Dana’s eyes and they at once began to giggle. They giggled for minutes on end. It wasn’t exactly one of Dana’s funniest lines, but just having her there to attempt a joke tickled Alice.

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.
