Time Heals All Wounds, Ch. 8
Bette reached across the table and took Peggy’s hand. “Peggy, I have a feeling she knows and that she has forgiven you.”
Peggy simply nodded thoughtfully. “Well,” she began, discreetly wiping away a stray tear with a quick motion of the hand. “I suppose you’d all like for me to get to the heart of the matter here, so I will no longer beat around the bush. I will be taking Helena’s place on the board of directors, and with my previous involvement with the CAC, that makes me head of the board. I’d like to make some changes around here. First of all, you’re fired,” she said, pointing directly at Franklin.
“What?” Franklin shouted, leaping from his seat and sending his chair falling backwards to the floor. “You can’t do that!”
“I can, and I just did,” Peggy said simply, eyeing him steadily. “You’re nothing but a pompous ***** anyway, and it is a relief to see you go. Please go clean out your office.”
“But – ” Franklin protested.
“But nothing. Go,” she commanded, pointing at the door.
Franklin angrily threw the door open, nearly knocking into a startled, eavesdropping James, and stomped out.
“Peggy, it’s nice to see you making some changes around here butI really don’t understand why I’m here,” Bette said, genuinely perplexed.
Laughing softly, Peggy shook her head. “I thought you were smarter than that, my dear. Perhaps I’ve overestimated you. You are here to be his replacement.”
And at that moment for Bette, Franklin’s indignant gasp of surprise from outside the door was just icing on the cake.
“Wahhh!”
Their lips millimeters apart, Kit and Dr. Ellis jumped back from each other quickly as the sound of Angelica’s untimely wail rose from between them.
“Angie, it’s okay,” Kit murmured. “Auntie Kit almost forgot you were there.” She lowered her head to kiss the baby’s cheek; more so to hide her flushed and embarrassed face than to comfort Angelica.
Dr. Ellis cleared his throat nervously. “I’m sorry, Kit. You are my patient, and that” he trailed off a moment.
Woulda been one ***** of a kiss, Kit finished silently for him. And as soon as I sign that form, I’m not your patient anymore.

why Alice is acting cold like this?..im sl glad Bette have a jog again and in a place she likes and without that pig and it seems Tina is a little better..cant wait for more post soon thanks :o)
i thought alice wanted dana to ask her to stay–did you get a new alice?
Damn it Alice!!! hahah that was a great chapter, im glas that things are looking up for tina and bette, even kit. I hope all goes well for Carmen and Shane, Keep up the great work and post soon!!
ehh…why is alice actin like she that she needs to stop trippin i thought she wanted dana to come after her….she is pure whackness.
Oh my! I can’t believe Alice did that. Poor Dana.
I love this fic like I love all of your stories but like most everyone else I’m a tad confused on Alice’s mindset. So far everything has been usually a POV internal dialogue on Dana so I’m not quite sure what’s going on in Alice’s head. In the previous chapter she was talking about all she wanted was for Dana to tell her not to go and here is Dana showing, a little late, to basically say that and she gets enraged. I do see how it would be grating to be told someone is there to “make you” do something but I’m still perplexed about her reaction. Nonetheless, I’m sure you have a reason for Alice acting this way and I’m sure you will explain it wonderfully through her thoughts as you’ve done thus far with all of the characters. But dude, seriously, if Alice wants back with Dana after this she is the one who should do the begging. And most anyone who reads my fics knows how much I love Alice. I almost always take her side. But not this time, bad Alice, no biscuit! lol. Anyway… to end my mindless prattling feedback here’s my usual end line: U rite gr8!!! Post more!!!!
that was so sad. i was NOT expecting alice to react like that 1 bit. you really through me off there. i think it will be good though, its always nice to build it up before they make their ultimate decision. i really enjoy this fic. keep up the good work. :)
Like everyone else, I’m a tad confused about Alice’s reaction but I have no doubt you have your explaination for it. Great job with this fic, it kept me on the end of my seat.
very very bad alice there was no need for that but what will happen next please post soon I can’t wait to see what happens with every one I love it
Drama for Alice and Dana. Glad Peggy kick Frankling’s ass out of the CAC and let Bette in that chair of the CAC. Ok what a surprise they have for Kit. Post soon!
Wait for the next chapter. It’s all part of the plan. Trust me on this. :)
I’m a tad confused isnt this what Alice wanted some big chivalrious act on the part of Dana to prove how much she loves her and wants her in her life.
Great chapter, really looking forward to your next. It is nice also to see that KIt is having the start maybe of a new relationship. Please post asap.

I love the conversation between Shane and carmen.
Poor Dana. I have no idea how you can make this up, but I can’t wait to see your plan. I love your Sharmen. Post soon =)
Wow, I think I’m as confused as the other. I have faith that you’ll make sense out of this with the next chapter. The story’s great. Can’t wait till you post an update!!!
I really love Alice, but right now I’m a little confuse, WTF Alice! lol, she doesn’t even want to talk O_o . I wanna watch Dana doing something like this in the show, fighting for Al.
