Resume
"No Alice I think I’ve got a week to pull this together so I should be OK. But thanks for offering."
"No problem." Alice smiles thinking she has dodged the bullet again.
***
Monday evening …
"Bette if the camp felt comfortable with their precautions why are you pacing. I can see their point." Tina tries to reason with Bette. She has just gotten home from work to find Bette where she always seems to be the last day or so pacing back and forth in front of the TV which is set to the Weather Channel.
Bette turned to Tina coming into the family room after changing into a comfortable pair of sweats and T-shirt. "Baby lets call the camp again. From the looks of things this storm is going to turn right into the area of Angelica’s camp."
Bette couldn’t shake the feeling of uneasiness concerning this storm. It was just yesterday that they all had joked that the storm was apply named. After all they all knew Alice to be full of wind and noise that sounded a lot more threatening than reality would dictate. But that was yesterday before the high pressure cell that was suppose to push Hurricane Alice off to the east had stalled in the middle of the country.
The end result was now most forecasters were projecting Alice to come ashore but where was not the question. They had narrowed the projected area from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to the beaches of Virginia. The only problem with this area was that Angelica’s camp was smack in the middle.
"Bette they still don’t know where it’s coming ashore. I’m nervous too but we just don’t know yet."
Bette just nods hearing Tina but thinking the only reason Angelica’s there in the first place is because she was the one who put her in that camp. While the first week alone with Tina had turned out better than Bette ever could have hoped the agony of watching this unpredictable storm was wearing on Bette. If anything happened to Angelica Bette would never be able to forgive herself.
Pacing back and forth a few more times Bette finally made a decision. If this storm was still a threat tomorrow she was just going to pull Angelica out of there early. Her nerves just couldn’t take any more of this waiting game.

Great story hope Angel is going to be okay
Shoot Bette is pacing…and I am pacing…you scare me whenever you bring up the weather. Please don’t kill or hurt that child…I feel like going to get her myself…
A windy Alice? Time to crack open a fresh Airwick. Oh, you meant the storm! Well, sounds like Angelica wouldn’t be too upset to leave camp a bit early. But Bette better get moving to ensure they can both get out. How about them Browns? Not even the rollicking fun of the Cardiac Kid days when they scrapped to the end. Just a lame petering out. Woof!
Great Update!!!! thank you
Hmm I sense some trouble from hurricane Alice and then some action from hurricane Bette you know she’s not going to remain calm and placid in the storm.
I’m caught up. Engaging as usual. Thanks for this (and your note to me a few posts back).
“I am officially just a tease.” YES YOU ARE. I went back because I thought I must miss something…LOL…Ok I think Bette should go get her now before its to late. But I dont think you can honestly bring in that kind of DRAMA? I’m so glad that you went beyond the 5 chapter you intended. And its an honor for me to read you work. PPS!
I am anxioulsy waiting for the next chapter and how this storm is going to hit! Post soon!
Lets hope our baby is ok if not get her the hell out of there pls…
they always miss the cooking. ;) its the waiting that kills ya. this is an excellent story. have so enjoyed it as always. having a blast with mis gia. the weather has been great. hope all is well. cant wait to hear from ya. thanks again.
Hurricane Alice vs. Mama Bette – let the showdown begin!Thanks for another chapter!
lol@funnyone yet again! Windy Alice…hehe. And yes, albeez, we kiddies always miss Mom’s home cooking. Band camp food my last 2 years in high school was pretty gross and my mom, being the awesome chaperone she was, went to band camp as well and got to experience the funky food. See, Mom? Sissy wasn’t lying about starving.
Good chapter. Plese don’t let anything happen to Angel and I agree with azmama and let see what’s next, thanks!
Bette – go and get that baby girl and bring her home now before Jwet makes us sweat anymore.
You never play around with hurricanes. We had one hit us with sustained winds of 139 mph and gust up to 200 mph slam into us in 2004. It was scary watching that thing slide up into the gulf and head directly to our homes. If I was Bette I would be pulling her out as fast as I could.
Being from the west coast we don’t know much about hurricanes. But, catagory 5, heading there way, you get the hell out. Go get your baby Bette, nothing like a mother intuition. All though somehow I think Jwet is gonna give us drama no matter what, the question is will it be Bette, Angie, Tina or all three,hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I’m enjoying the flow. The stage is set for drama and maybe some crucial decisions made under pressure. Please check your mail.
Awww what a lazy and lovely Sunday – great post.
The not-so-calm before the storm. I’ve missed these “family” moments too.
i love this story i don’t always or indeed often comment but i have been a fan of your stories fo a while and was so happy when you started this new one. please don’t let anjelica get hurt. post soon.
just keep angie safe, that’s all i ask
I would do the same as Bette. I am a “Nervous Nellie” when it comes to extreme weather and those I love. Better be safe than sorry. Remember Katrina. Five days of warning and very little action on the gov’t.’s part.
A mother’s intuition is not something to dismiss, they need to bring Angie home asap!
Hello Jwet, Start job next Monday so finger biting has already started. Will IM you soon. Calendar is currently free so let me know if you require my services. As for your delightful and hilarious tale; adored the beginning as Tina took charge and got Bette all hot and bothered; brunch was hilarious as Alice offered to help and Tee politely declined her offer out of fear of food poisoning then adding to the drama was Bette and Tina’s concern for their child. You completely captured a parent’s helplessness as nature took a hand. Looks like there may be stormy times ahead as Hurricane Alice ravishes the landscape but hopefully not our favorite gals’ lives. Exciting stuff as nearly peed myself as I have to read your fabulous fan fiction instead of visiting the rest room. Saved by the pelvic floor exercises. Yippee!! Can’t wait to see the turbulent and tempestuous times ahead. More please real soon. Many thank for this interim addition. Your Loyal Fan. PS – Legs crossed is always a good option.
Well Bette and Tina seem to be enjoying their “alone time”! I hope things don’t fall apart when that damn storm hits. You’re so evil Jwet.
It’s looks like you will suffering all season with your Browns. They are will break your heart. The Buckeyes will have ups and downs but they are talented. Iowa will be tough.I know Bette would never forgive herself if Angie is harmed in anyway. She needs to bring her home. Her motherly instinct is sayig the right thing. Her relationship with Tina is too fragile right now to withstand too much turmoil.
My comment disappeared! Oh well, here goes again!! Thank you for the introduction to this chapter, gives a warm fuzzy feeling before delving into the family sundays that we all love so much. And Bette Porter in a position of vulnerability… no better place in my book… God I love that woman… but I think you already knew that, didn’t you!!
I see trouble in the horizon.
I’d be there already to get my kid out!!!!PPPS
Lovely chapter Jwet! Hope nothing happens to angie!
well, well, well. things are getting a bit stirred up i’d say…
And so the tension increases….
