“Oh Alice, that’s great, “Tina said as she grabbed Alice’s hand and squeezed it.
“That is good news Alice, is she O.K.? I thought she was gone for a while longer?” Shane said.
“Well, she said that there was an accident, but that she was O.K.,”
“What happened?” Shane asked.
“I’m not sure, but she sounded O.K.,” Alice said. It was obvious that she was trying to reassure herself more than convince anyone at the table.
“Oh, it doesn’t matter,” Tina said. “The important thing is she is coming home”
“So,” Alice continued. “I want everyone over to my place for a surprise party around 8:00. Just bring your award winning personalities and I’ll do the rest. Oh, I asked Bette to come too.”
“So she’s coming home already?” Tina asked casually.
“She promised she’d be there. How about you Shane? Are you and Paige coming?” Alice asked.
“We’ll be there,” Paige said.
Shane looked over at Paige.
“What about Jared?” Shane asked.
“We can get a sitter for him,” Paige said.
Shane stared at Paige with a disapproving look. Alice cleared her throat loudly.
“O.K. then, it’s settled then,” Alice said. “Be at my place at eight.”
“Is everybody ready for another?” Tina asked.
Shane didn’t hear Tina. She leaned back in her chair and looked down the street where the woman with the sunglasses and ponytail had gone.

Bette shook her head to try to clear all of the thoughts and memories that had flooded her mind. She knew that she had to go back to L.A. at some point. It started to look like her mother had kept her promise to come back. Bette didn’t know how she was going to react when she saw her.
“Are you O.K. now?” Jodi asked, clearly getting frustrated with Bette’s scattered moments of lucidity.
Bette stood up and straightened out her clothes.
“Yes, I’m fine,” Bette said, trying in desperation to maintain the stainless steel façade that she had created to cover her wracked nerves. “Are you ready to get out of here? I need to get back to L.A.”
“Do you need me to come?” Jodi asked.
Bette stared icily at Jodi. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
“You’re asking me if you need to come?” Bette asked incredulously.
“Yes,” Jodi said.
“You know Jodi,” Bette said as she turned to her car and opened the door. “The fact that you have to ask if you need to come tells me that I don’t need you to come.”
Bette got into her car and started the engine. Jodi didn’t protest or try to stop her. Bette put the car in gear and drove away, leaving Jodi at the site. She knew what she had to do now. She opened her cell phone and rapidly dialed the numbers.
“Yes, this is Bette Porter. I need to book a flight from New York to L.A.”

Can’t wait to see how Bette deals with her long-lost Maxine-mom. Thanks for writing it!
I hope you are a Tibetter cause I see where this is headed.Nice update.
And don’t I know how you feel about TiBette! LOL! I love this, but you already know that because we talked about it! I love the direction, I love the sneak peek I get, and I believe in this story and your talent! Later Yang!
Can’t wait to see where this leads…love how Bette saw how Jodi truly feels.
So sad. I see trouble.. For Bette, Maxine, Shane, Paige, Tasha, Alice. I hope T is there for Bette again. Bye Jodi.
Jodi needs to be kicked to the curb already! And I would love notohing more than to see Tina catch Bette when she falls…assuming she does that is.
Thank goodness that Bette finally saw jodi for who she really is. I find fascinating that the first thought that Bette had after the shock of finding that her mother is still alive is that she needs Tina. Even in their worst times Tina was there for her. Oh please let Bette and Tina be there for each other again.
I like that you are including everybody in the story, especially Talice and Sharmen!
The Maxine story is one (among many) of TLW’s unsolved mysteries. Your treatment is first-rate. I sense you’re a Tibetter; certainly not a Jobetter, but then who is.
Was that Carmen that Shane saw? I hope they bring her back in S5, that storyline had the most ridiculous ending, meaning none! LOL. Anyway, hope Tina is the one to help Bette deal with her feelings about her mom. That would probably lead to her resolving why she and Tina split…great update and PPS!
Ok I’m curious why it took Maxine so long to return. More on Tasha. Let Jodi stay in NY she is way too insensitive.
Great Chapter!!!!!!!!! I am glad Bette said goodbye to Jodi. I just hope that Bette will be OK. I do think Tina will help Bette. But I think Bette also has to do this herself and take the time to really here what her mother has to say. B&T will need to sit down a really talk to each other. Thanks PPVS
Only Bette,Kit and Carman was missing.Or was Carman missing??? Wave goodbye to Jodi. Hello to Maxine. How will Bette handle this? Hoping that Tina by her side thanks
YAYYY! Bye bye Jodiiii and Paige! Hello to Tina and Carmen! :D I hope that woman that Shane saw was Carmen! I´m gonna pray! :DI hope Maxine and Bette work things out!Great chapter and thanks for making my day! :DPPS
get the fuck on Jobette and come on Tibette
No more Chapters? The story has so much promise!
