    Tina resigned as the Director of the West Hollywood Youth and Family Center in September. She was given a wonderful sendoff which attended by the staff, board members many from the community and several of the center’s generous benefactors including Peggy Peabody.

    Mark Regal, who was the Assistant Director, is named as the new Director and Tina’s assistant Julie was named as the new Assistant Director. After the announcements and festivities Peggy asked to meet with them. They were seated in Tina’s old office where her boxes were packed to move out, and Mark’s to move in as the space was now officially his.

    After everyone was seated, Peggy got down to business. “I must say that shifting the focus of the Peabody Foundation from the arts to community service and awarding the largest grant in Peabody history to the West Hollywood Youth and Family Center was a decision made solely by Helena Peabody when she became the Director upon my retirement. She did this without my knowledge or consent but after witnessing firsthand the work that you have done here under Tina’s leadership, I must say that it was probably the single most noteworthy decision of Helena’s short-lived career. As you may not be aware

    As you may not be aware, I have divested my company of all other interests and have shifted the focus of the Peabody Arts Foundation back to arts under the Directorship of Bette Kennard-Porter. Tina has given me a full report and has shown me in detail how the grant has been used and how much more that you’d hoped to accomplish with future endowments. After reviewing all this information and having seen the work that you do, I realize that severing our association would be prejudicial. For that reason, I have created a private foundation dedicated to your purpose. The West Hollywood Youth and Family Center has been is the sole recipient and beneficiary of The Tina Kennard-Porter Community Service Foundation Life-time Grant.”

    2. Great job Peggy. Fortunately, Tina and Bette have had some this conversation a 18 months ago when they were reconciling. They talked about Tina’s role in keeping the two apart during the pregnancy. Tina admitted that she stayed with Helena because she felt loved, appreciated and gratified with the attention. She admitted that she was not ready to allow Bette to fully participate in the pregnancy but didn’t have an explanation as to why. Was she punishing Bette for all the problems she had getting pregnant? Tina did admit that she never really considered what her actions were doing to Bette. She only considered her feeling and desires at the moment, That was obvious when Bette was taken by complete surprise when Tina said she wanted to move back in with Bette just prior to the baby’s birth. Anyway, this is a good time for Tina to see Emma and rehash some of those things. Why did she keep pushing Bette away? There is something more to the reasons Bette and Tina separated to begin with. Perhaps Tina is still not aware of what that is, but she needs to bring them to the surface so they will not cause the same response. And what is she going to do to avoid the same reaction with this pregnancy and the attempts which are bound to happen? How is she going to keep from feeling like a failure when each month the test say there is no baby?

      Bette and Tina are in a better place and they are communicating better. They have made some drastic changes in their lives just recently. New jobs for both which are entrepreneurial in nature and call for more hours and more stress to get off the ground. Now Bette has accepted the Director of the Peabody Foundation which is somewhat of an unknown as to the amount of hours and stress in that job. They are both older by eight years and have a precocious little girl who will need her parents as much as ever. Perhaps they need to see Emma before the insemination starts. Peggy is right. Tina has to pledge to be there for Bette and their family just as much as Bette does. But she must do more than pledge, she must be ready with the tools and skills to avoid the pitfalls of her history so there won’t be a repeat.

      Great bit of writing. The story of the search for the donor was priceless. I agree with Bette. I was funny unless you’re the one trying to get pregnant. Nice way to use some of the canon of TLW. There were so many little incidents like those that some times we just forget. And with stories like this, we can enjoy the enhanced version.

      Thank you for this chapter….

      • Hi Martha, as usual your observations are very insightful. Many of your thoughts will be addressed in the next chapter or two. Thanks for reading and reminding me that Bette and Tina did discuss some of this when they got back together.

    3. Great writing BAT2012!!!!

      Peggy is so right and i am glad that Bette takes her advice in consederation and acknowlegde it.

      Bette and Tina spoke about that time, but it is important that Tina looks to herself and be open about her feelings, her fears and actions.

      I think Martha made good points in her comment.

      Thanks for this wonderful chapter!

      • Bibi28. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Tina will definitely be encouraged to do some more introspection. Really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
