Wow…Oh My God…So I have an uncle and some cousins.

Yes.

Have you spoken with them?

Your uncle, yes. He would very much would like to see you whenever you are ready. He is in his 70s and told me to tell you not to make him wait long…then Karen laughs.

He sound feisty.

Yes he did… Here is his contact information.

Thank you…then she looks at Bette. Thank you Sis. Baby girl, you don’t know what this means.

Bette’s eyes are watery. Yes I do. I love you Sis. Daddy took her away from you and I wanted to give her back. They hugged and Karen is tearing up watching them.

Well …Kit says. I guess we can eat now…they all laugh. Karen waves to the waiter letting him know it was ok to bring the meal she preordered for them all. They chat over the rest of their lunch about what all Karen did to get her information and the road blocks she hit. Bette paid the bill for their lunch and thanked Karen again for all her hard work…Bette would make sure her gratitude reflected in her payment.

Bette takes Kit back to the Planet. Kit was quiet on the way back looking over the papers she was holding. Bette parks . Are you already Sis?

Yes, thank you again.  Kit says with tears whaling up again. You just don’t know …

I think I do .I see it in your eyes. I love you Sis. I just wanted to thank you for all the thing you have done for me over the years and are still doing, you have been more than a sister to me sometimes a mom and always my best friend..

Aww.. Kit hugs her hard.. then grabs her papers and gets out of the car telling Bette bye and wiping her tears from her face..

Bette told Tina everything on their ride home from work. When they got home Bette went for a run with the kids while Tina cooked and took her shower. Bette just wanted some time to think about what Karen had told Kit and how happy it made her sister. She stopped by a bench near the park to rest and to call Lynn.

Hello.

Hey Grams. How are you doing?

Bette Sweetie, I am doing just fine is everything ok? Is my baby girl ok?

Sure, she’s fine Grams. I….was just wanting to ask Lynn something.

Oh ok dear she’s right here. Grams hands her the phone.

Hello Bette. How are things going with the wedding plans?

Everything is moving along fine Lynn except the mother of the bride is missing. I was just wondering if you would like to surprise your daughter and fly out for a few weeks…to do, you know all the mother daughter stuff. Lynn was tearing up and was silent. She has a fitting for her dress and the cake tasting date is set. And all the other things in between. Are you still there? Lynn has sat down by now.

Yes I’m still here. But what about Grams who…

Gram stops her…Go. Don’t you miss out on your time with Christina because of me. I will be just fine. Joe’s here and so are the boys. You go and take Jamie with you.

Are you sure? Lynn asks with concern in her voice.

Yes I am perfectly capable of watching after myself and the boys if need be.

Not unless you agree to let Libby and Syble help with the cooking. Lord knows I have done lots of looking after her crew in the past and I know they will be more than happy to help out and check in on ya’ll.

Ok, I will agree to that. Now you tell her you’re coming. Bette was on the other end listening to the whole conversation.

Ok I’ll come you just tell me when.

Don’t worry I will arrange everything and call you back with all the details.

Ok. And thank you. This means a lot to me.

I know it does. And I know it will to Tina as well. I love you guys. Talk to you soon.

Bye.

Bye.

Bette hangs up smiling then heads back home.
