Gasping for air for a omen, I slowly raised myself. My head was swimming an my legs felt like jelly but I held it together long enough to feel steady again. I smiled at the concerned look of my dearest friends. “Al, get ready.” I ordered, my voice a little raspy.
“Bells, are you alright.” Helena asked, rubbing my back, easing the lingering spasms from the coughing fit.
I affirm with a nod and a half grin, “Fine. The air-conditioned air is messing with me.”
Helena nodded, remembering my suffering the same problems when we went to university together. “I there anything that can be done?” She asked, not wanting me to suffer more then necessary.
My eye’s twinkle as an impish smile appears on my face “A portable humidifier about the sized of my PDA.” I answer, half joking as that would be the greatest invention since unleavened bread.
She looked at me as if I had grown another head for a moment before strutting to her room. “Don’t you wish you had this?” She called over her shoulder, attempting to be saucy and just pulling off silly.
“I already have Al, traded up for a newer model.” I yell back, eliciting the laughs of the hyena gang. I can see tonight’s the night for the giggles.
“You’re dating.” Alice screamed, throwing herself at me.
I wrap my arms around her kissing her cheek. “One night stands Al.”
Alice leans back mortified. “Bette, no. You don’t like that scene.” She cried, obviously surprised.
I couldn’t help the cheeky grin that slowly crawled onto my face, “Ms Rabbit and Ms Vibe have been good to me.” The laughter started again, and I couldn’t help but join in. It was infectious, and joyful and everything that a friendship could be.
**********
We had enjoyed a wonderful 3 course dinner once we had arrived, 20 minutes late.
It had taken us awhile to pull ourselves together enough to finish getting Alice ready, but keeping her still was difficult, she has started to bounce on the balls of her feet, eager to get out of the door. She mumbled every few minutes about being honoured, until she finally launched into a rant about how much money this whole shindig was costing. How much the kids she cared for could do with the money for school, for clothes and for entertainment. Not to mention better housing for them all.

Dearest Deean: We are so sorry to learn that you had an accident on your elbow. Hope it heals nicely, that it doesn’t bother you that much and that you might recover soon. Please take very good care of yourself.- As for the story, we are beginning to enjoy Dana, Alice and are much concerned about Bette’s health. Hmmm You are making some interesting developments on the story, which are very appealing, plot wise. We are savouring all of them. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
Dana was always shown to be a good friend and here she proves it by taking Bette to the docs.Nice updat i want more
Hope Bette doesn’t have some weird, tropical, 3rd world disease.
Sounds like Bette is pretty sick but she’s been sick like this before, right? Both of your stories are fantastic and I look forward to new chapters on both.
I am sorry too about the bed and your elbow. I hope it feels better soon. As for this one, what is the mysterious ailment? Bette doesn’t have HIV does she? Eunichick already played this card, and between the both of you, what with Dying of the Light as well, y’all seem pretty anxious for Bette to shuffle off this mortal coil! How about Tina getting a fatal disease for once, just to even it out? I am not sure about this Dana. She is sweet, but there is shy and then there is… Did something happen to her to make her this way?? Ah, another story! Speaking of which, you are going to let us hang and hang and hang, to know whether Bette is alive and ok? Hopefully not TOO long!
Somewhere in fanfic heaven, Bette is wondering just what she did to piss off Dee. (just kidding)I’m looking forward to the doctor’s appt and some clarification about Bette’s earlier illness vs her current one. My chest hurts just listening to Bette laugh with her friends.Love Alice’s ‘House’- what a great idea, absolutely one that could be duplicated all over. I found the comment about the kids being ‘too old to adopt’ odd- as i adopted my five year old foster son when he was seven- but we both know there a lot more foster kids than adoptive homes and plenty of need for a house like the one you conjured. Hope you are well soon! (selfishly i want more updates to both tales!)p.s. where in Dying of the Light did you add that paragraph you found that you didn’t include previously? thanks. Feel better!
er…that is to say…i adopted my son at seven, but he was 5 when he first came to live with me as my foster son.
My Beautiful Dee… ahhhhh that sucks about the bed but more so your elbow… I am off to the movies but will be back… you completely rock it out… take good care and talk to you later… mwah… love and hugs, JC
Thank you for this wonderful story and I hope you feel better. Please post soon.
Thanks for posting this is a wonderful story with so much attention given to the ability of this family of friends to give love and share their lives wiith the children that have been written off for whatever reason. Such a great lesson in love and humanitarianism. If every community in our great nation would take on a project like this we could go a long way to eradicate homeliness amog foster children. Sincerely hope that Bette does not have some disease about which nothing can be done. Wonderful story. Since Tina has not shown up in this story yet, will she be one of the doctor’s that Bette sees. If so, hopefylly she will have the cure-all for Bette. PPS
