Alice was an exercise in contradictions. We eventually pulled her out of the apartment and into the car where she started panic about being late, her excitement getting the best of her. We had to make a quick stop to pick up Kit then we were officially on our way.
Unfortunately the limousine wasn’t travelling fast enough for Alice’s taste. She would wind down the dividing window to encourage the driver to speed up.
After the 3rd time she did this, Helena banned Alice from the window and banished her to the back of the car. This, for reasons I am still unsure of, inspired Helena and I to start questioning “are we there yet?”
We lasted for longer then usual, 3 minutes, before Kit whacked us both gently over the head and threatened to make us work with her over the weekend. We decided discretion was the better part of valour, and giggled all the way to the dinner.
When it chimed 9 o’clock Alice was called to the lectern to receive her award for Distinguished Service in Social Care. Wolf-whistling, cheering and clapping the 5 of us welcomed Alice to the microphone, awaiting and yet dreading her speech.
“Thank you, thank you.” She start, motioning us all to take our seats and be silent. “Today I am being credited, not for work that I did, but for the work of the children, and teenagers who have taken every opportunity granted to them and run with it.”
“I work with 30 kids between the ages of 5 and 16. These kids are too old to be adopted and have not been able to thrive in the foster system. They were left as wards of the state in state homes which are over packed and under staffed. Not having access to the benefits of having someone who cares.”
“Most of us here grew up with our parents, most who drove us crazy. I know my mother always did. Sharing every embarrassing moment from my first period to the time I tied my shoelace to the bed head after having sex with Martin…” The 5 of us started to frantically wipe our hands under her throat, hoping to shut her up before said his whole name.

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
