Great Unexpectations Chapter 37
"Well…um…", Alice hedged.
"That’s what I thought", Bette said.
Alice glanced at Angie and Rusty frolicking in the sand. The bright smile and laughter melted her heart. "Ok", she said in defeat. "Ok, if it means little A can get a dog, I’ll… take care of the doggy doo."
Bette and Tina looked at each other in silent communication. Bette shrugged and Tina spoke. "We’ll think about it", she said.
"Fair enough", Alice said. Secretly, she was half hoping that Angie would forget about the dog or that Bette and Tina would be the ‘bad cop’ part of the equation and nix the idea completely. Ten to fifteen years on doody patrol did not seem appealing. No matter how much she loved Angelica.
Eventually Rusty and his owners went back to their own beach site, just in time for Angie to go down for her nap. Over the next few hours the gang made their departure plans. Although they were only now enjoying the true beauty that the bay area had to offer, the responsibilities of the real world were calling. School was about to start and Dean Porter had work to do. Tina had to report back to the studio as Jenny’s disaster of a movie was about to begin production. And it was just time. Time to let Cora get on with her life.
Time for Bette and Tina to resume their new life together.
They invited Richard and Cora to dinner on their last night. There was wine and music aplenty to accompany the take out. Conversation was lively, as they shared their varying memories of Faye. There was even some laughter. The next day Richard and Cora accompanied Bette, Tina, and the gang to the airport. Richard watched as Cora hugged the ladies goodbye. "Are you gonna be ok?", Tina asked.
Cora smiled. "Yeah. I’m getting used to him. And I’ll be going to school pretty soon. Kinda scary huh?"
"No", Bette smiled. "You’ll do great. I just know it."
Cora smiled, trying to fight the tear in the corner of her eye. "Thank you. For helping my mom. For helping me. For everything."
"You’re welcome, sweetie. And remember. Your mother left you a very nice home back in LA. You be sure to come and visit us, ok?"

Wow what a finale, glad to see another baby on the way. Thanks for a great ending and hope too see more.
Great ending….but it left me wanting more…how selfish!!!! lol
Loved it!!!! Really thorough ending especially Mr Buckley’s demise. Thx so much for a greatly intriguing story. And my soppy heart loves the ending. Maybe
maybe, one day u’ll let us in on how Cora progressed and do a little update on B, T, A, The poopy dog [u know they can be trained to do it in the one place], new baby and Alice. maybe…see my big pleading puppy dog eyes!!!!
Thanks for this great story. I’ve loved every minute of it.
well, well, well, look who finally posted her story! it was definitely worth the wait so i won’t bust your chops too much. can’t wait to read the new one. i was a bit surprised that mr. buckley’s demise. i kinda figured it would feature a shovel, a hammer, and a ticket to tahiti. anyway, thanks for giving us this story. i know the next one will be even better!!
I have missed you and this story. I loved the ending with Cora getting some of her childhood back and Richard doing whatever was needed to make sure she was safe from the “evil dad”. I loved the banter between Alice and the locals at the beach. Heck, in our area we still stop for funerals. I do hope that you will revisit this story at some time down the road. You left us hanging with a pregnant Tina and mommy Bette.
What a long awaited welcome surprise, hope you are back to writing a bit before dissappearing again.
Bittersweet. Yhat’s what it is. We are blessed with another post, but the post is the finale. Thanks for coming back to finish. Thank you for your story. I hope you will share another s with us.
