“Okay, okay.” She laughed before continuing. “It doesn’t matter what stories she shared, it just mattered that she cared enough to know. “
“All children have this right, and that’s how Eagle House was born. For over a year we, my family and I, worked on it; we got sponsors and eventually government approval. It was a hard process, long, frustrating but ultimately awesome.”
“The kids of Eagle house have found something that they never have had, a family. They never knew that families could be created, like I do. They thought that family was the one thing out of their reach.”
“I know each of their names, some of their embarrassing stories. I know that with tutoring they are receiving from a local tutor they are excelling at school. They have finally the one thing we all crave, a home and a family. Both which create our identities.”
“Today, I found out that one of the Eagle family has been offered a full scholarship to Cal State and will be starting in the fall. This is indicative of the success of Eagle House. The success of this kids who just needed a chance and a little love.”
Patting herself on the chest Alice continues, “I can only hope that this will be used as a prototype. That the state, and other organisations as well as wonderful volunteers, many who are here tonight, can make happen. Our future is our children, so don’t you think we should supply that future first?”
“I want to thank you all. Especially my family – the one I created in West Hollywood. Dana, Shane, Kit, Helena and my best friend who came back for tonight, Bette Porter. All of which helped me get Eagle House of the ground.” The mischievous quirk of her lips should have panicked me because I knew nothing good to come from it, but I was too happy for my friend to care. “Ms Porter will be offering her services once again to us, as we will be chronicling the house, and it’s family to send to the government, to petition them. Thank you all.” Only Alice could volunteer someone and make it sound right.
“This is only the beginning and with all your help we can close down the state housing for minors and get them into homes.”
“I thank you for this honour. Goodnight.”
We all stood to applaud her, I knew she would be amazing, but I didn’t realise that she wouldn’t take any of the public credit. The second she appears I embrace her “I am so proud of you.” I whisper in her ear, tears gently falling, “so very proud.”
We stayed for a couple of hours, watching Alice bask in the glory of the night. When she had finally had enough, we headed back to my place and shared a few drinks before heading either home, or to bed as Dana stayed the night. She was driving me to the doctors in the morning.
Apparently she didn’t trust me. I laughed to myself before falling onto my bed, exhausted.

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
