Great Unexpectations Chapter 26
Alice opened her eyes and rolled them to Dana. Dana nodded knowingly.
A slight grin came to Alice’s lips. She raised her hand to the height of her head and quickly slammed the coin to the table. She imagined her friends around the table, looking at her stunned. Gasps of shock and fear coming from their mouths. Horror coming over their faces as they scrambled to bring forth their own coins. In her imagination it was always Bette who was last. She loved having Alpha Bette as her personal servant. Sometimes Shane was fun too, but especially Bette.
The joy on Alice’s face brought out a laugh from Dana. "See, Al. You’ve gotta do it. Look how happy you are. I had a good run with that prank. Time for somebody else to lose, don’t ya think?"
Alice watched as Dana began to fade into nothingness. "Dana!!", she called out quickly. The nothingness subsided and Dana was visible again. "What?!", she replied loudly.
"Sorry", Alice said slowly. "I…wasn’t ready for you to leave yet. When will you be back?"
"That’s up to you, Alice. I’m always around though. Call me whenever you need me."
Another tear fell from Alice’s eye and she nodded. They waved goodbye to each other as Dana again faded away. Alice watched until she was completely gone and reached for her beer when she was all alone. "Fuck, Dana", she whispered, before draining the rest of the bottle into her mouth. She scooped up the coin from the table and put it back into the padded manilla envelope. She carried it around as she paced the apartment slowly and aimlessly. Dana’s words repeating over and over. Time for somebody else to lose. Competing with Shane’s words. She’ll always have the last laugh. So that was it. Those two options. Dana always having the last laugh, or Alice a loser no more. She walked to the kitchen and tossed the envelope, coin and all, into the waste bin. She looked at it with a smile and simply said, "No contest."

The next morning found Bette and Tina enjoying breakfast outside by the pool with Angie. A family day. No work. They had decided to call a ‘family meeting’. Extended family, that is. The more they realized how involved they would be in the search for Cora, the more they realized they would need the support of their friends. The meeting would be later. For now it was just the Kennard-Porter clan. A happy clan at that. Angie drank milk from her sippy cup while her Mama B sat nearby reading the newspaper and sipping coffee. Tina looked on with amusement, noticing that Angie mimicked Bette’s actions. When Bette lifted her cup, so did Angie. When Bette drank, so did Angie. Two peas in a pod, Tina thought happily. Bette set her cup down, and so did Angie. Bette grinned behind the folded paper she was holding with one hand. She kept her eyes trained on the paper in front of her but lifted her free hand above her head as if to stretch. Her grin widened as Angie reached for the sky also. Bette lowered her hand to her face and scratched her nose. Angie scratched her own nose. Tina laughed out loud. "Ok, you two. I think breakfast is done." Bette laughed and snuck a kiss from Tina as she removed the plates from the table. Angie laughed but not because she copying Bette. She was always defenseless to the fun times that her mama’s shared.

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.
