Cora let her fork drop to her plate. "Jesus", she said. "I didn’t even think of that. I guess I figured you’d already done that. That I’d missed it."
"No", Richard said. "We wanted to wait until we found you. If we could anyway. Wait that is. We knew we’d find you. We just weren’t sure if it would be in time."
Cora stood up from the table and walked to the living room window and looked out over the water of Grand Traverse Bay. Everybody respectfully stood and watched her for the few minutes of silence. "It’s really beautiful here", Cora said finally.
Tina approached Cora softly and put an arm on her shoulder. "Sweetie, if you’re not ready to deal with this we can probably wait one more day or two."
"No", Cora said resolutely. "She’s waited long enough for me. What do I have to do?"
"Not a lot really", Bette answered. "Faye actually had everything planned out very well. This little trip here kind of changed things at the last minute apparently. She had originally planned to be flown back to California but now…well now she wants to be buried here."
Cora continued to look out the window. She smiled as a small tear escaped from the corner of her left eye. "That would be nice", she sniffed.
"And then we’d also like to talk to you about your fa-"
Richard cleared his throat and shook his head. Bette took his cue in time. "-your future", she finished.
"My future?"
"Yeah", Tina said hesitantly. "Don’t be afraid. But we know a lot about you Cora. We know how you’ve been living the last few years. We want to help you."
Cora bowed her head and sobbed. Tina swept her into a hug immediately. "Shh. It’s ok, sweetie. It’ll be ok."
A tear streamed down Bette’s cheek and she rubbed the young woman’s back while Tina held her. "You must think I’m such an awful person", Cora sobbed.
"No honey. We don’t", Tina soothed. "We don’t."
"Cora, listen to me", Bette said gently. "We think you’re a strong young woman who’s been through a lot in your life. And you were just surviving. Any way you could. But I hope that’s over now. Ok? We’re going to help you get out of this life. If that’s what you want", Bette said bowing her head and lifting her eyebrows almost pleadingly. Cora looked into Bette’s sincere dark eyes and nodded. And sobbed again.

WOW!!!! Great to see this story again!!! Happy dance!!!!! Great Chapter!!! Thank you PPVS
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!

Awwww, just what Bette needed, to see her Boo. Been missing this story. Thanks!
Hey, another great chapter, can’t wait for the rest. Glad my little prompt had the desired effect! Cheers.
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.
