Great Unexpectations Chapter 28
"Like I said, before. Al Capone. Haven’t you ever seen The Untouchables? I used to have a serious thing for Kevin Costner."
"Kevin Costner? Really?"
"Hey", Tina said in mock defense. "You had your Bond girls. I had Kevin Costner."
Bette looked over to Tina and smirked. "Are you over that now?"
Tina waved her hand in dismissal. "Don’t worry, babe. Prince of Thieves cured me of that."
Bette eyed the road still smiling and squeezed Tina’s thigh. "Keep it up, Bette, and we’ll have to stop", Tina flirted. Bette squeezed again, slightly higher this time. Tina, in playful retaliation, reached over and caressed Bette’s midriff. Gently slipping her hand up Bette’s shirt.
Bette squealed, fending off laughter. "T. That’s not fair. I’m driving."
"So what are you gonna do about it, Porter", Tina challenged. Bette stopped the car.

When they arrived home they found Shane and Alice sitting on the floor of the living room with Angie. The game they were playing at no longer mattered. Angie burst to the door when her mama’s appeared. Bette scooped her up and wrapped her in a hug. "How’s Boo?" she laughed. Boo was ecstatic. She loved seeing her mama’s come through the door together.
"So how did everything go you guys?", Shane asked. Bette handed Angie to Tina. "Well", she grinned. "Tina has a new girlfriend."
Tina laughed and whispered into Angie’s ear. "Don’t listen to Mama B. She’s just jealous."
"Oh my god", Alice asked, jaw agape. "Did Faye make a play for Tina?"
Tina set Angie down and went to the kitchen. "Have you two eaten yet?", she asked, hoping to change the subject.
"I hope you let her down easy, Tina", Shane said, noticing that the smile on Bette’s face grew in direct proportion to the amount of ribbing that Tina was taking.
An easy laughter filled the home as Tina did her best to ignore the fun the girls were having at her expense. She busied herself in the kitchen, humming and smiling, while Angie toddled in to watch her. She hushed so that she could listen to Bette tell their friends about the progress they’d made at Faye’s. "Don’t forget the part where I was a genius", she called out to Bette.

oh wow am I 1st??? Not that it bothers me. Great, great, great, so sweet the good-byes and that final comment about would it have hurt for Ange to shed a few tears, love it. More when u can. Thx.
Aww so sweet. :D
Sweet. But sad. Damn, that goodbye was pretty sad. And the Jodi reminder was awful. Hope they find what they are looking for and aren’t in too much danger. PPS.
Angelica may not have cried, but you had me a little choked up. Loved the chapter and that last comment. This story has been such a delightful read. Heartfelt congrats on you nomination!
Love Angie. the last comment was priceless. Kids know when they are loved and that child is. Shane is so understanding. thanks
Sweet and touching. And I just knew Bette was going to stop the car after they left Faye’s place.
I am so loving this. Thanks PPRS
Could Angie be any cuter? I hope this trip is short yet fruitful. And I love that last line. Great chapter, thanks for the update, red. (And congrats on your wholly-deserved noms. Your writing’s fantastic.)
That was heart warming even though a little sad. I hope that Faye will have a heart warming period with her daughter. I know I am a wus but I love happy stories.
Good chapter!
Hey, hey, Red, thanks so much for the update, I know how pre-occupied you are with dinner these days! LOL. Isn’t little O just the best thing ever? Her momma’s better be comin home in one piece or else you’re going to have a little revolution on your hands! PPS
You are doing such a great job with this story and making me cry too many times. Bring them home safely to their baby and the rest of the family. The baby is so sweet and very intuitive, as most babies are. Let them find Cora soon and make her come home with them to see her mother one last time and understand that her mother could do nothing about what was happening to them. Maybe she can forgive her mother before she leaves this world. Hopefully she is not so bitter that she can understand. Post when you can.`
Couldn’t hardly read the last lines for the tears. So much love there. Hope they have a productive trip! PPS!!
