Bette and Tina made a note to ask Kit to FedEx their insurance policy. They kept those files in Bette’s office. “What about the Home Study?” Bette asked recalling how agonizing Roberta Collier had made it for her when she was assigned to evaluate Bette’s petition to adopt Angelica.”
“I’ll get in touch with the social worker and explain the situation. They can still do most of the legwork including interviewing your family, background check, reviewing your finances. The only thing impacted is that you’re not home for the home visit but if they need to see the place your sister Kit would probably be a good stand-in especially if she’s there with Angie. Who better than your precocious little one to sell you as the greatest mommies in the world!”
Bette and Tina chuckled but Joyce was probably right. Angie could charm anyone.
“Ladies, I’ll let you go so I can get started. I will update the change of venue for the birth and the particulars as they stand now. I’ll contact Marci’s lawyer and social worker. Your job is to talk to Marci. Make sure she hasn’t changed her mind about anything we discussed, and then we just wait until little Logan decides to make his entrance. Godspeed.”
Bette and Tina thanked Joyce then headed to the hospital to visit with Marci for a few hours before they had their meeting with Andrea to talk through the adoption plan and what she required from them.
***
The following day on Tuesday the couple met Marci’s friend Renee. As promised, she returned to Bridgeport to bring Marci’s things but also to see for herself that her friend and the baby were doing fine.
Bette and Tina had respectfully followed Andrea’s orders not to question or stress Marci about why she was with her friend in Carson City instead of Vegas, but Renee seemed willing to fill them in. They invited her to dinner, not only as a thank you for getting Marci and Logan to Bridgeport put also it gave them the opportunity to talk.
Renee was Marci’s best friend from high school. After graduation she moved to Carson City for college. They’d stayed close over the past five years. Renee was the only person Marci confided in about her relationship with Tommy and she was the first one she told when she found out she was pregnant. Renee was there when Marci had her abortion at 16 so she knew even though the baby was unplanned, and Tommy had disappeared there was no way Marci would not keep the baby. Raising him was another matter. Adoption really was the best thing she could do for herself and especially for the baby.

Nicely done!
Thanks for this very comprehensive chapter, really like the relationship between Marci and her Dad and it shows her in such a better light than on the Show. Great Step Mom also. Can see why her parents marriage broke down and had my dislike for Marci’s Mom given credence .
Looking forward to more, stay safe and well
SG
Thank you SG. It was my goal to give Marci a lot more depth of character. She should have broken away from her mother and stepdad years ago but glad she is now able to start a new independent productive life surrounded by family that love and support her. The kids will be so much better off too. Thanks for reading, commenting and sharing your thoughts. Stay well and be safe.
Well, this sews up all the loose ends. The boys are with Marci’s aunt Stella and Bob and Mindy are keeping tabs on Marci and assisting with the boys, and Renee is keeping tabs on Marci, and Bette and Tina are preparing for their new baby boy. And Paul and Kathy are just blowing in the wind. Marci being an adult give her no obligation to keep Paul and Kathy informed as to her whereabouts. For the boys best interest, having Bob and Mindy informed is an added layer of insurance. And having Stella legally given temporary guardianship of the boys is helpful too. Kathy now cannot go to social services and claim Marci has abandoned her children. Besides now the boys are in another state as well and under the jurisdiction of Colorado not Nevada. I see Marci’s plan as absolutely air tight. Marci and her unborn child are in California and under their jurisdiction. Marci has a team to support her and get her on solid ground for a potentially successful future. Bob and Mindy have been great for Marci. Mindy is the perfect stepmother for Marci.
Wonderful story… wonderful job of matching up all the pieces and loose ends…. Now let’s keep Marci cool, clam and collected and have Logan born as healthy as possible…..
Loving this story….
Agree! Isn’t it great?
Martha, thank you. I couldn’t have tied up all the lose ends without your help and others that gave me suggestions and ideas. Marci deserved better than Kathy and Paul. So glad she had another side of the family that was openminded, encouraging, supportive and helpful in giving her some life skills to become independent. I had to stop myself because I could have written so much more about the Dickerson’s but reminded myself this is a Tibette and family story. Marci has one more job and that’s to deliver a healthy baby boy! Stay well and be safe.
Good for Marci and the boys. How can a woman worthy of the name call her grandchildren bastards !?
It wouldn’t surprise me if these people (Marci’s father and Renee) kept in touch with Bette and Tina …
I agree. What an adventure.
izzie, thank you for reading and commenting. Glad Marci and the boys have gotten away from Kathy. I agree she wasn’t worthy of being called grandma. Not sure if Renee or any of the Dickerson’s will stay in touch with Bette and Tina after the adoption is final but they certainly have some opportunity to interact while Marci is in the hospital before she gives birth. Someone will need to come and take Marci home so maybe Bob and Mindy will meet Bette and Tina. We’ll see. Stay well and be safe.
Fantasic chapter!
It anwered the last questions and i am glad you write about Marci’s intentions and what she planned to do.
The kids are safe by their Aunt, Marci moved away from the horrible situation at her mothers home. My god she and Paul are truly terrible. Glad her father and Mindi are so great, helping her to build her future!
And Renee is a very good and loyal friend to Marci.
Now Logan needs to grow a little bit more in Marci’s tummy so he has a good chance to start his life.
Agree. This is just so great!
Bibi28. Thank you. Glad to be able to answer all the questions and give Marci a great future. She’s now with the right family that will help her to be independent and provide a great upbringing for her two boys. Renee is a good and loyal friend. Everyone needs one of those. Stay well and be safe.
I can’t add much more beyond what the others have written. Martha nailed it. What a fantastic chapter. Don’t you love it when a plan comes together? All the puzzle pieces falling into place. Truly excellent.
Billy can’t say thank you enough for all the great encouragement. I feel like this was a collaborative effort and so glad we were able to tie up the lose ends and give Marci a great future with her kids. I’m excited for the next chapter. So what do you think, should we stay in Bridgeport or check in on the evil trio in Los Angeles to see what they are up to? Stay well and be safe.
I agree. What an adventure.
