Great Unexpectations Chapter 36
Bette smiled. " Good. You’re gonna be ok. I promise", Bette said softly.
"So what do we do now?", Cora asked.
"We finish breakfast", Tina smiled. "And then we just relax. You just need a chance to just be. To figure out what you want to do. Where you want to live. And we’re going to help you in any way we can."
"I’ll have to call Jenkins back", Bette said. " He’s your mom’s lawyer. He needs to know that it’s ok to move ahead with the arrangements. Is that ok?", Bette asked gently. Cora wiped a tear from her cheek and nodded with a forced smile.
Bette left to make the call in privacy but Richard followed behind. Sensing his presence and stifling a smile she asked, "how are the boys?".
"The boys?", Richard asked.
Bette hid her smile and turned to face him. He stopped short for fear of running into her. She folded her arms across her chest and quickly glanced below his belt with raised eyebrows. Richard crimsoned slightly. "Oh ‘the boys’. They’re…ok. That was quite a move. If you ever get tired of the art thing let me know. I bet I could find you some work."
"Good to have options", Bette said with a smirk. She turned again to continue walking with Richard again following.
"Um, hey…", Richard started. "I just wanted to say I’m sorry-"
"You don’t have to", Bette interrupted. "It’s never going to happen again right? You know that Tina is not interested in you. Right? You know that it’s unacceptable to me, and to her, for you to cop feels or whatever the hell you want to call it whenever the opportunity presents itself. Right?"
He nodded and looked at his feet. "Right. It’s never gonna happen again. Because of all those things. And… because I’m leaving."
Bette stopped dead in her tracks and this time Richard did walk into her. "Oh, sorry. I wasn’t trying to ‘cop a feel’, honest."
"You’re leaving?" Bette asked, oblivious to his apology and to the slight collision that preceded it. "You’re leaving?", she asked again.
"How can you leave? We just found Cora. We still don’t know what to do about her father. We need to make sure she’s safe. You can’t just-"

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.
