“I think I get it. Well, a child’s approval can mean a lot,” Kit speculated. “They do have an inner wisdom.”
“I suppose they can,” Bette agreed reluctantly.
“Then what’s the problem, Baby Girl?”
Bette hesitated.
“Let me guess!” Kit began. “It’s money. And the fact that you don’t have a job and your new girlfriend could buy the Imperial Palace of any country she chose.”
“Thanks, Kit, for putting it into even more perspective,” Bette sighed, replying with sarcasm and rubbing her temples.
“No problem,” Kit said, taking a deep breath. “That pride of yours is gonna get the best of you some day. And that day may be very soon if you don’t get your shit together.”
“Why did you call, Kit?” Bette asked in frustration, and fingering the curtains down the side of the long door windows.
“Well, I hadn’t heard from you. And you were supposed to let me know how your meeting with Franklin went the other night.”
“Oh, yes,” Bette sighed. “ Well, it didn’t go. He never showed up.”
“What? And he never called?”
“No. Not the first ring.”
“Did you call him?” Kit asked.
“No.”
“Of course not. Your damn pride got in the way again,” Kit accused.
“It’s not that simple, Kit!” Bette growled, growing impatient.
Bette turned quickly at the sound of Helena’s footsteps.
“No, Mummy! I can’t believe you did that!” Helena yelled into the phone. She grabbed the knob of the French doors where Bette was standing. “Excuse me!” she said, nudging Bette away.
Bette stood aside quickly, not without astonishment.
“I’ve gotta go, Mummy. Good-bye!” Helena said, throwing open the door and exiting quickly.
“Helena!” Bette called out.
“What’s goin’ on there, Baby Girl?” Kit asked with concern.
“Nothing. I’ll talk to you later, Kit,” Bette said, clicking off her phone. “Helena!” Bette cried out again, chasing her out the door.
Alice and Angie looked up.
“Mama! Ella! Awice just told da bes stowy!” Angie beamed, struggling to unwrap her crossed legs and get up.
“Sweetpea, Ella has to go now,” Helena said anxiously, picking up her sunglasses. “Give me a hug,” she said, bending down to enfold Angie in her arms.
“But you not eat yet,” Angelica said, beginning to cry.
“What’s goin’ on, Bette?” Alice said, looking bewilderedly to Bette who was behind Helena.
“Mama! Don’t wet Ella go!” Angie cried, hanging on to Helena, her chin on her shoulder. “Don’t go, Ella! Stay! Pwease!”
“Helena!” Bette yelled.
Helena, loosening her grip on Angelica, turned to look at Bette.
“I should go, Bette,” Helena said quietly.
“No, please, stay. Eat. We can talk later. You’ll…Helena…” she said softly, “You’ll disappoint her.”
Fluffy rubbed himself against Angelica’s legs. And Harry tugged on Helena’s free shoulder, shaking his head vigorously.
"And what about you, Bette? Will I disappoint you?"

Peggy leaned back against the soft leather and it crinkled as she pet her dogs.
She looked blankly at the man beside her.
“Franklin, my Darling. Has anybody ever told you … that you’re a bloody fucking idiot?”
The canines yelped.
Peggy leaned forward and knocked on the limo window.
“José! Bette Porter’s! And step on it!”

Whoa am I the first to post? :-) I see that major fires are about to burst in the Porter house and it’s not looking too good for Peggy to head to her house in a hurry. And I love how Kit knows her sister so well, to have known what she was feeling and thinking. Can’t wait to see what happens now and read what is Bette’s answer to Helena’s question. loved it Z
I can’t WAIT to see what Peggy has done this time! Especially the way you write HER! more ! more ! more! We need more!!!!(soon)
Step on it?!? Isn’t that supposed to be “post haste”? Damn, Peggy’s on her way! I can’t wait! Can we watch her ream Franklin? Please?

Step on it??? What happened to post haste (LOL). Great update! Can’t wait for the next chapter. PPS!
Oh no, I see the fireworks, they’re…they’re…ah, there they go. They’re all exploding. Can you hear the ringing in your ears. I’m really looking forward to see how this drama-rama plays out, Z! “And what about you, Bette? Will I disappoint you?” Wahaha! Priceless cliffy there! PPS! ((: xoxo
Hello Zheese, I do love Bette and Kit’s interactions. Kit always says it as it is. This can rattle Bette as she sees it all laid out for her in no uncertain terms. Helena needs to sit down and talk things through with Bette. Angie is upset at the goings on so these gals gotta deal with it and move on. More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Oh waw what a surprise I found here :) Sweetie that was just wonderful, I could so picture the looks Bette & Helena must have given each other and I really hope Bette has the right answer to Hel’s question. Kit is so right about Bette’s pride, it’s gonna seriously bite her in the ass one day. Now what is Mrs P up to this time??? Hope she won’t make things worse. Thanks for posting this one baby, now start writing the next one and step on it! :)
And yes what about you, Bette? I think it’s time for Bette to grow up. Life isn’t perfect. If she wants this relationship to have a chance, you sometimes have to give a little. Pride won’t get you laid…well it might. But anyway that’s another story. As for Helena she has to stop running somethings are worth fighting for. Because this maybe the one. Is Peggy there yet? Because these girls need some help. Excellent update!
