Great Unexpectations Chapter 29
"No no no", they both spoke quickly. "Let her sleep. I guess we’ll try later."
"How was she, Kit?", Tina asked. "Last night after we left. Was she ok? Did she fuss?"
"She was fine, Tina." Kit’s manner was soft and soothing. "Sweet as she always is. Alice and Shane stayed and played with her. Angus played his guitar. It was really a nice evening. Don’t worry."
Tina smiled but couldn’t help feeling like the worst mother in the world. Bette took her hand and squeezed it gently. They spoke with Kit a little longer about Angie’s agenda for the day and who would be with her.
"Kit, please call when she’s awake."
"I will. I promise. Good luck you guys. Keep us posted on your progress."
They bid farewell just in time to hear Richard’s knock on the door. Bette let him in and he came bustling through like a child on Christmas morning. "Ready to go?", he asked excitedly.
They nodded and grabbed their purses. "How’s Faye?"
"She’s…hopeful. But very tired. Weak."
"Do you think one of us should stay with her?", Bette asked. Again, Richard wanted to kick himself. He’d been so wrapped up in getting to the Landers household he’d forgotten about the business of looking after Faye. He looked up and rolled his eyes at his own thoughtlessness. "I guess that would be a good idea."
Bette and Tina looked to each other with raised eyebrows. "You go with Richard, Tina. I’ll stay with Faye."
"Are you sure, Bette?" It wasn’t too long ago that Bette had been plagued by that hideous dream and Tina wanted no part of dredging up those memories again. Bette read her mind and smiled. She looked back to Richard and took Tina’s hand, leading her further into the room. "It’s ok", she whispered. "I know what you’re thinking. I’m ok. Go. Help him."
Tina gazed into Bette’s dark eyes and leaned in for a soft kiss. "I love you, Bette. And, I’ll call you every ten minutes."
Bette smiled back. "That’s not necessary, Tina. Fifteen will do."

Driving through a run-down neighborhood on the outskirts of Chicago, Tina listened as Richard laid out their ‘cover story’. That meaning the story that would get them in the door. Something about Richard going to school with Jason’s older brother and trying to catch up with him. Tina tried to focus but the last twelve hours had pretty much been a blur and she was certain Richard would be carrying most of the workload anyway. She was just there to balance out his scruffy look and throw around any industry lingo or come hither smiles, should they become necessary once they had Jason alone.

I won’t worry about Richard messing with Tina now that he’s received the famous Porter death stare. Now on to Bette and Tina catching up on “other things” after touching base with Angie.
Another Great Chapter!!!! I so hope they find Cora very soon. B&T to be home with ther daughter. Thanks PPVS
Richad checking Tina out only to find Bette staring him down was hilarious. PPS!!
First, LMFAO@Bette’s death glare! I just knew that was coming. And second, even though it’s morbid as hell, LOL@Faye! I guess that’s one of those moments where you have to laugh at yourself because the only other option is to cry.
Tut tut, Richard. Eyes off Bette’s woman. I really hope that this lead gets them to Cora, because I fear for Faye lasting much longer. The restaurant scene… that was funny, yet not, but still… I laughed, anyway. I hope that girl waitress wasn’t too scarred by it all. Thanks for the chapter red, it was ace. And whatever you need luck for, I wish you bucket-loads of it. Post when you can. Cheers
Their love for each other and Angie is such an inspiration. They take good care of each other. I love this story. PPS.
They are close I can feel it in my bones. Or maybe that is old age or the weather turning slightly cooler. Whatever it is, there is some hope because Bette and Tina are on the case.
Good chapter. Hope they find Cora soon and B&T get home to Angie, no drama for them. Please post more, thanks! Glad to catch up with your story and love it, can’t wait to see more, thanks!
oh, me first, that never happened before. As for the story, so sweet that T&B. Md
Yes, let’s let B&T catch up on other things, shall we??? LOL PPS
Then leaving Angie was so sad for them, Angie just was with the people that loves her and didnt care. Faye and Bette are funny together Bettes death atare to Richard was priceless. thanks
Hey Redhorse, I have just caught up with your amazing adventure. I love and adore your Bette and Tina. The love they share is sooo Season 1. Yippee!!! I loved the whole redemption puzzle at the centre of this drama. This tale is unfolding perfectly as Bette and Tina continue to talk things through before committing to Faye’s requests. The mystery is enticing and I really want to get to the bottom of it and see what to whole fuss was about. Prehaps it is just a mother, realizing her faults and trying to reach out and save her child. Great to see Bette and Tina, in it together. Angelica is their main priority but their hearts are big enough to include others. Liucky for Cora though. Please continue soon. I can’t wait. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort to bring this fabulous fan fiction to my eyes. A Fan.
