Incredible, Melvin said chuckling. What do I always tell you? You are my child. You can do anything you set your mind to!
Bette smiles at the praise she received from her father. The praise she always seeks from him.
So, Ms. Kennard, Melvin turns to Tina. What do you think of my girl?
Tina looks from Bette to Melvin.
OhI think shes amazing. I think the shows going to be incredible.
Again, Bette continues to bask in her success since having scooped Provocations from MOCA.
And, uh, how is your career shaping up, Ms. Kennard?
Well, in fact I closed a major deal today, perhaps one of the biggest of my career.
She explains what transpired earlier that very day as far as securing financing for the major film at the studio.
But daddy, Tina is also doing something else very specialsomething for the both of us. Bette reaches for Tinas hand as she continues. Tina, would you like to tell him?
Tina looks at Bette, shocked that shes the one whos expected to deliver this news.
Um, okayMr. Porter, Bette and I are having a baby.
Daddy, were having a baby
Melvin takes a moment to process this news. While the silence is uncomfortable, it doesnt last long.
Helena Peabody approaches the table from Tinas left.
Tina, I thought that was you, she began.
Tina rose from the table to shake Helenas hand, while Helena continued to speak.
I was so glad to hear you decided to stay with the project until you have the baby, Edward phoned to let me know the good news
Im happy to be part of it Helenaplease let me introduce you to Bette Porter, my partner and her father, Melvin Porter, Tina hoped Helenas words regarding her commitment to the project would be lost in the excitement of Bette telling her father they were expecting.
Bette turned to Tina with a steely glare and then glued a smile on her face to greet Helena Peabody. So nice to finally meet you Helena, Ive met your mother many times, shes an amazing person.
Tina quickly realized Bette caught what Helena said about her return to the studio.
Ms. Peabody, it is a pleasure to meet you, Melvin said as he shook her hand. Ive followed the work of your familys foundation for many years. You do good work.
Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Porter, it really is appreciated. Well I dont want to interrupt any more than I already have. I just wanted to offer my congratulations to Tina. Enjoy your meal. Helena rejoined her party across the room.
So, Bette started as she flipped her napkin crisply and draped it over her knee. Youve decided to stay with the project, have you.
Tina, that is marvellous news, laughed Melvin jovially. I had no idea your career had reached the stature where your sources of funding were the same as those of my little girl He reached across and squeezed Bettes hand as he spoke.
Thank you Melvin, Im very excited about the film, Tina was surprised that he had finally referred to her by her first name. But were both excited about the baby as well.
The baby, of course, and you, Tina, will be having this baby? Melvin asked. Its about time I had a second grandchild!
Bettes silence was overshadowed by Melvins enthusiasm about the developments that evening.
Bette? Tina reached for her hand again.
Im so glad youre happy daddy, Bette stated quietly.
Just then, the waiter approached the table to take their order. Melvin carried the conversation for the rest of the evening, as Tina stewed about her now discovered lie, and Bette processed why Tina felt she couldnt share the truth with her earlier that afternoon.
Helena Peabody is not what I expected her to be at all Bette thought.

If I’m the 1st it’ll be a 1st! I love you’re intro…’What a tangled web….’ very poignant. You have taken the stroy, twisted it and made it your own. Can’t wait to see your other chappies.
Yeah Helena is not what any of us expected at all. Great story. Here we go again, Bette’s machismo getting the best of her and Tina’s refusal to confront Bette driving a deeper wedge between the two. Please allow these two to have a all out “scream til tears come, talk til tears come, apologize til tears come, kiss and make up till tears come,” talk fest until these two face their issues and resolve them. Don’t let them go to outside people to clear their heads. Please show that people who love each other can go through periods where they don’t like each other, may not even want to be in the same room with each other, but are committed to staying together and eventually resolving their issues, and moving on.
this is the same Melvin?..and i dont know why Bette is so upset many and many women works until the deliver we are not in 1950..lol great update please post soon
wOW, was not expecting that at all, great job. So are you planing drama with helena, I can forsee tina needing someone to talk to and helena the one she choses and maybe they hook up??. I hope Bette understands, and doesn’t get all pig headed on tina. well until next chapter, wchich I now waiting for so post soon.
It’s amazing how characters become so much more 3D and real when allowed to ditch their sterotyped qualites for a bit….I love your take on this :-) and yes PrT is ok!
now i liked that dinner party better then the first with melvin… and watch out for the bitch…once a bitch always a bitch…please continue
As a French woman, all I can say is you write french language very well… much better I write English language.
Now, about your story : I love the way you write it. A little like the show and in the same time so different and somewhere more interesting.

Hope Bette doesn’t get too worked up. Please continue.
Interesting…Bette will be simmering through dinner, methinks.
I love the direction this story is going. I love snarky Melvin, but am so happy he’s accepting Tina and the baby. And no, JKS, you don’t have to beg. :)
