    Author Notes:

    Season 5ish. Some headway. A tearful goodbye. Hitting the road.

    Bette nodded with that same look of pride she’d exhibited earlier. "I wouldn’t dare, T." Shane and Alice listened on the edge of their seats while Bette rehashed everything. By the end of the tale, Tina had a platter of turkey sandwiches and salad prepared.

    "Wow you guys. So this could really take off now. Like, at any minute you could be off somewhere, maybe finding Cora. That is really cool."

    "Let’s hope so, Shane. I don’t think Faye has much more time", Bette said sadly. She looked bleakly at the plate of food Tina had prepared. As delicious as she knew it was likely to be, she could not bring herself to eat anything.

    —

    Later that evening Tina bathed Angie while Bette was pouring over the detailed ‘Cora’ files on her laptop. She was delved so deeply into the girls arrest record that she barely caught her ringing cell phone before the caller was sent to voice mail.

    Ten minutes later she joined her girls in the bathroom. Tina was lifting Angie out of the bath and wrapping her in a soft towel. Her daughter’s wet hair and bright smiling cheeks almost brought a tear to Bette’s eyes.

    "What is it, Bette? What’s wrong?"

    "Richard just called. We’re going to Chicago. Tomorrow evening."

    "Oh", Tina said quietly, looking at Angelica. "That was quick."

    "We have so much to do. We have to pack. There are forms for Kit to sign. In case anything hap-".

    "Nothing will happen", Tina interrupted quickly, trying to convince herself as much as Bette. "She’ll be fine. Hopefully we won’t be gone too long."

    Little Angelica, owning the perception of a person much older than herself, soon stopped smiling. Her mama’s were sad and anxious. This, in turn, made her sad and anxious. Tina picked up and hugged the child still wrapped in the warm towel and therefore unable to hug back. "It’s ok, sweetie. Everything will be ok." Bette rubbed Tina’s back and stroked Angie’s soft damp hair.

    That night they decided to forgo Angie’s usual bedtime. They let her stay up with them. They played with her. They read to her. They tried to soak in as much togetherness as they could before the too-soon separation. The realization that this would be the first time they would both be away from her at the same time slammed into them like a Mac truck. Even though all the books urged against it, they let her sleep with them that night. They took turns napping next to her while the other watched over. Morning came quickly. Too quickly.

    1. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

    8. 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.)

    9. 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.

    11. 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

    12. 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.`
