The mirth found at that table was a sweet reverse of the somber mood Bette had been dreading. She knew that they must soon talk about what was to come next. They must talk about Faye, but wanting to alter the mood was very low on the list of priorities right now. "Have you eaten yet?", Tina asked. Richard looked guiltily at his shoes. "I’m afraid I’m not a very good cook. I did find a bagel for her, but I think she could go for some of your famous banana pancakes", he winked at Cora. Cora smiled and nodded. Tina stood at once. "You got it", she smiled. Bette drank her coffee in silence and enjoyed the serenity while she could. Serenity that was quickly interrupted by her cell phone. The name displayed on the caller ID was sure to get the rest of her day off to a rough start. Jenkins. "Shit", Bette muttered. She looked at Cora apologetically, who cared not in the least that a curse word had been unleashed. "Sorry, I have to take this", she said and walked away from the table. Cora nodded her assent while drinking her coffee
Bette returned to the table ten minutes later, finding Cora thoroughly enjoying Tina’s pancakes. Such a simple thing, a homemade breakfast. Bette wondered when it was that Cora last enjoyed home cooking. She wondered if Cora would let them help her return to a life of normalcy, whatever that meant.
"Who was that, Bette?", Tina asked while fidgeting and glancing at her watch. Bette forced the dark look from her face. It was difficult for her to summon the tone of voice that would not have her next words conjure images of doom. "Um, that was Mr. Jenkins", she said.
Cora, not knowing the name, continued to eat. "Cora," Bette hesitated, " we should probably talk to you about a few things."
"Ok", Cora said slowly. "Like what?"
Bette cleared her throat and looked to Tina for help. Tina read Bette’s eyes, full of dread. "Well," Tina started slowly. "We haven’t had the funeral yet for Faye. Um, your mom. I’m sorry to bring this up right now but it’s something we have to deal with."

I missed this story. No worries about not posting sooner, redhorse. Thanks for the update!
That was great and love it. Please more, thanks!
The happy dance is going around. Richard will alway see that Cora is protected and never does without. No one will ever hurt her again, Now Bette has her family together. great. thanks
Glad you are back. I misst this story.
I have been wondering about you and this story. In fact I was going to PM you later tonight, but now I do not have to. I am happy that you are continuing this story. I loved how Kit and Angus showed up just when Bette and Tina needed to see their little girl. Cora would fit right in with the family.
Glad to see your back! I missed this story, now please don’t take so long to update again:)
written perfectly…and Angie arrives at last to calm both mamas’ nerves. Great story. look 4ward to next chapter. Thx so much.
I am so glad that Cora is letting Tina and Bette help her. Though vigilanty justice isn’t a good thing Cora’s sperm donor deserves nothing less. The ending with Kit, Angus, and most importantly Angie arriving is PRICELESS!
I worry about what Richard’s gonna do, but at the same time, the vigilante part of me really hopes he succeeds if he’s gonna do what I *think* he’s gonna do. and I’m glad, so glad, that Kit and Angus have appeared with Angie. All smiles here at getting an update, red. Muchas gracias
Welcome back, red! Still loving your story and am so happy to see your post. Seems Bette has made herself quite clear to Richard… though he may want to invest in an athletic cup, just in case. Look forward to every chapter!

RED!!!! How the heck are ya? I’ve missed this story and I’m so happy that you had a chance to post an update. How awesome that Kit showed up with Angelica. That should make B & T very happy and who knows….it might just bring a smile to Cora’s face as well. Post when you can.
