I hoped it would just be a quick trip to the office for me to compare the contract with the previous one, make the corrections and be done with it. It wasn’t and I knew that I was going to have to go the location. When I called the director and pointed out to him the problem, he became hysterical. It had to do with a location shot that was already scheduled and would put production totally behind schedule. It didn’t change anything but I was at least happy that it was a contract error from before I started working at the studio. Bette and I were leaving on Friday. It was already Tuesday. I called and scheduled a flight for Wednesday. I could only get on a later one so would still be there Thursday with plans to return home on Friday. I was less than thrilled and knew that Bette would be too.
I hurried out of the office and went to Bette’s house. This was something that I wanted to tell her face to face. I hoped that she would be somewhat understanding knowing how her work often had things pop up that she had no control over either. I grabbed my things after I pulled in beside her and waited for her to let me in. I didn’t even bother putting my bag in the room. I set it beside the door and asked her to sit with me on the couch. She looked at me quizzically but joined me.
“Bette, I hate to do this with everything going on and us going to the camp on Friday but I have to go out of town tomorrow.”
“Where are you going?” she asked. She didn’t appear mad.
“I have to go to Vancouver. There is a problem on site that I have to try to remedy.”
“Will you still be able to go to the camp with me or should we just wait until another time for you to meet the girls?”
“What time did you want to leave?” I prayed that I would be back in time to go with her. Even though I was nervous about meeting the girls, I so wanted to meet them and start that transition of our relationship.

Super and sweet on so many levels.
Yippee! LOL, haven’t read it yet – just wanted to say how much missed this story while the site was down!
L, your crazy, that opening line for the girls to meet Tina was great. So glad the kids liked Tina and hope they figure out how to get rid of the Warrens before the girls come home. Thank you. Md
That was an awesome update. It seems that the girls and Tina are going to be okay. I think Lyss is already loving Tina. It is nice to see kids who really love their parents and vise versa. I am not sure about sleeping in a tent but the hiking part sounds cool.
Great update – perfect weekend and I’m sure a big relief for all of them to see they will get along. pps
WOW!!! Very Beautiful!!!! THank you PPS
i’m with bette… give me a hotel any day… so glad the kids got along with tina… who wouldn’t… it was so cute to see them apart for 1 night… i think tina will be moving soon… love this s tory… can’t wait to see what the grand parents want… PPS
I am with Bette..no camping, no tents! I too think something is way up with the Warrens, and I don’t think it is money. I think that there is a good reason Trisha doesn’t want her children anywhere near them..what could it be? As for Bette and Tina, methinks they are going just a wee bit fast, with all the love talk and involving the kids now, it’s only been a couple of weeks since they met, right? I hope its not too fast too soon. I too liked Bette’s icebreaking comment about the camping!
tina did and awesome job with the girls! i see em and tina gettin along nicely once things settle down… this was fantastic update! :)PPS
NAG, again you have done a superb job with this chapter. So glad that the girls seem to like Tina. Bette’s line about camping really broke the ice for everyone. This was a lovely chapter and Em talking to Tina during the short walk was sweet. Tina isn’t a lawyer for nothing, she handled everything with great aplomb. Hope the Warren situation is taken care of soon and I know Joyce will get to the bottom of what is going on and I think my initial suspicion was correct, it is money. But how the hell did they find out about the money. Alice or her mother, well benefit of the doubt and all, maybe research. Really enjoyed this chapter. Thanks so much for posting. PPS
Naaaag, you’re back! I’ve been waitng for this all weekend. Damn, your friends are back now too. I love, love, love this story. This chapter was sooo good and I’m really glad that the girls seemed to get along with Tina. I hope you’ve got another update stored up, because I’m bursting at the seams for your next one!
whew, glad the kids like T.
