    Author Notes:

    good-bye to Tina’s brother (for now) and hello to Helena Peabody – cause she never really goes away does she?

                Carrie laughed.  Consider it done.  Without another word, she walked away, bouncing happily on the balls of her feet.

                T, I really like your sister, Bette said as they watched her go.

                Shes something else, isnt she? Tina asked, smiling after her.

     

                Caroline was getting ready to go down to the hotel bar and meet Alice when her phone rang AGAIN.  She had been in calls with her publisher, her agent, her travel agent, her editor, and she didnt even know who else all morning and into the afternoon.  With all the family time she had been spending she was behind on her promotional duties.  She had pushed back or cancelled far too many of her appointments, and what the ***** was she doing granting her first interview to LA Magazine and not New York Magazine her publisher would like to know.  Everybody knew New York Magazine had an infinitely higher reading base.  Favors and friendship be damned, they were trying to sell a book here and in case Caroline hadnt heard NOBODY READS ANYMORE.  C.K. Kennard was hardly J.K. Rowling, and she had no business ***** around not taking the advice of people who knew what they were doing.  And what about that deal with Helena Peabody?

                Needless to say, it had been a trying morning, even though it had started so well, which might explain the way Carrie answered the phone.  What?

                Its nice to talk to you too, Caroline, Helena said.

                *****, Carrie thought, and checked the clock.  She was late too.  Helena, not to be rude, but I dont have time for you right now.

                Then why did you answer the phone? Helena taunted.

                Reflex, Im sorry I was so short, Carrie explained, composing herself.  No reason to be rude, even if Ms. Peabody may or may not be a psycho hose beast.  Im going to be late for an interview.  What can I do for you, Helena?

                I wont keep you.  I was just calling to see when we could discuss the price tag you want to put on the rights to your book, Helena said matter-of-factly.

                Carrie sighed.  I dont know, Helena.  I know I told you to call me, but I dont have the energy to play games with you right now.  And from what Im told, thats you mtier.  Im not doing this if youre offering just to get to Tina or to ***** with Bette.  Theyre my family.  So cut your bullshit and tell me what you want or Ill take my book somewhere else.

                As highly as I regard your sister, Ms. Kennard, and as much as Bette might like to think so, not everything is about them.  Have you considered that this might have nothing to do with them? Helena asked coolly, playing her hand like the master she was.  Jake sent me your book before it was even published and I took an interest because it was from him and it was very good not because you had any relationship to Tina.  You werent even speaking at the time.  You werent speaking until three days ago, in fact, so dont lecture me about family values.

                Ouch, but Caroline had to admit it.  Helena was right.  Fair enough, after all of that you still want to meet with me?

                And you think thats suspect in itself, Helena huffed.  Fine, Caroline, I will tell Jake that I tried and I trust you will do the same.

                No, Carrie said, stopping Helena.  Im sorry.  Tomorrow morning, your LA office.

                Ill see you at 10, Helena said.  Deal done, they hung up simultaneously.  Caroline headed downstairs to meet Alice.

    7. I love Bette with the baby. Tina’s mother should have a Xanax handy for that phone call. Black baby daddy – ha!!!
      I trust Helena Peabody about as far as I can throw the Capitol Records Building.
      Caroline should follow suit.

      Thank you for coming back with another post. I love this story!

    8. I failed to mention after the last chapter that, I love your story and what you are doing with it. By exploring Tina’ family and background, you have broaded the scope of your story and added alot of texture that I.C. has missed in the series. I love Carrie’s interaction with Bette. I think that she has the potential to be as valuable sister-in-law for Bette as Kit has been for Tina. In reference to Carrie’s dealing with Helena, I am not as worried as everyone else seems to be. If Helena uses or screws over Carrie, not only will she have deal with Tina and the gang, But Carrie’s boyfriend family seem to also be very powerful people. I also remember you mention that the invest in the Arts, which is right up Bette’s ally , along with the fact that Carrie lives in NY where Bette has to go sometimes to book artist. I would love to see them team up to give Helena a taste of humble pie. Please post again soon. Your story is very refreshing.

    9. I totally agree with CPQ fine comment !
      Anyway, Helena Peabody is a very interesting character and an ideal way to bring dramas in any story ! We always need someone to hate in stories, no ? *wink*
      Oh, and don’t worry about any “idealistic” touch : after all, fiction is such a delightful way to dream…
      Now, I cannot wait for Tina’s mother reaction ! ^_^

    11. Carrie/Bette – wonderful Bette needs someone like Carrie
      Carrie/Helena – hhmmm watch out for the curves
      Looking forward to the next installment Tina/Rose/black Bette & daddies;0)

    12. HElena likes Kennard family a lot..lol..one more to her collection..lol..i hope Carrie knows what she is doing..great chapter post soon thanks :o)
