"Hold on. Calm down. I’m taking care of all of that. OK? You don’t need to worry about that. I’m gonna feed his fellas some bogus info to lead them back home and then I’ll…take care of it." His furtive eyes turned cold and dark. So cold that Bette hugged herself slightly in an attempt to warm herself from the chill that just made company with her spine.
"So, is that why you stopped me from telling her about her father? Because you’re gonna ‘take care of it’? Do I want to know anything more?", she asked cautiously.
"No", he said simply.
Bette considered this. Considered everything she knew of Mr. Buckley. All of the physical and sexual abuse he’d inflicted on his family and god knows who else. She considered the small scared child pretending to be asleep at night in hopes that the bedroom door would stay closed. She became repulsed at the thought of a small child having to fight off a grown man. At the thought of Cora being so accustomed to the nightly visits that she knew any struggle would be futile. She closed her eyes and winced. Moments passed before she finally opened her eyes and looked Richard square in his. "Fair enough. But be careful. When are you leaving?"
"Soon. I have a few things to finish up here. I hope you don’t mind but I’d like to attend the funeral. And then I’ll be on my way."
"No. Of course I don’t mind. You and Faye were obviously very close." She paused before asking, "Will we ever hear from you again?"
"Probably not. But if you ever need help with anything call this number." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card. "It’s not my phone number so don’t try to track me down. But it’s a number I keep tabs on. You’ll probably get a recorded message that says the line is being checked for trouble or is disconnected. Just talk over the recording. I’ll get the message."
Bette looked at the card and then back to Richard. "You never cease to…creep me out", she said. Richard sensed that her words were mixed with a certain amount of humor and smiled accordingly. Her smiling eyes approved. She left him there as she sought out privacy to contact Mr. Jenkins.
A short time later Bette returned to the main room and found Tina alone, sitting on the sofa with her head leaned back and eyes closed. Bette looked around with a quick panic. "Tina? Where’s Cora?" Tina’s eyes remained closed. "She and Richard went for a walk on the beach", she said sleepily. "He had some things to tell her. About her father I suppose."
Bette sat next to Tina and rested her head softly against the blonde. "No. He’s not going to say anything about him. He’s got something planned and I think it’s best that we not ask any questions."
"Hmm", Tina yawned. "Sounds nefarious."
"Whatever it is, it’s better than that bastard deserves", Bette sighed.
Tina nodded and looked at her watch, a recent habit that did not go unnoticed by Bette. "Got a hot date?", Bette quipped. Tina smiled. "Yep. And she’s beautiful", she teased. Bette playfully grasped Tina’s wrist and brought it to her lips. She teased the soft skin with her teeth, inciting a tiny giggle from her blonde. At that very moment the doorbell rang. "Go away", Bette’s muffled voice groaned as she devoured her lover. Tina gently, half-heartedly, attempted to curb Bette’s affections. "I think you should get that, Bette."
"You’re kidding, right?", she asked. She pressed her lips to Tina’s and tried to block out the second ring of the doorbell. And then very quickly afterward, the third. "Jesus", Bette said reluctantly rising from the sofa. She was now irritated and straightening her clothes as she walked to the door. "The Girl Scouts are serious about making their quotas this year", she muttered. She opened the door and quickly lost her breath. Her eyes widened as they found her sister standing on the stoop with a finger to her lips. "Shh", Kit smiled. Next to her was Angus, holding a sleeping Angelica in his arms.

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.
