Bette fastened her lap and over the shoulder seat belt and when she was finished, Tina placed her hand on top of Bette’s and squeezed it. “I love you, too.”
It felt strange for a few moments as the helicopter lifted and righted itself in the wind and air. The feeling was odd, but Bette and Tina were surprised to find themselves in a mostly quiet cabin. They each thought they’d be shouting over the sound of the copter’s movement.
“A car is going to meet us at the heli-port. The really good news is that we’re about a five minute drive from that camp, maybe not even five.”
Bette and Tina nodded.
“That’s excellent news, Jerry,” Peggy said. Her phone rang and she answered quickly. “Hello, Whit?”
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Peabody. I’ve rung you to give you an update. Shaolin Film Studios has darkened its offices. I’ve tried to reach Helena, but she’s not picking up. I’m assuming that she’s somewhat upset by these latest events and changes to her position with the Foundation.”
“I’ll talk to Helena, Whit. Don’t you worry your pretty head about that.”
“Secondly, and this is more for Bette Porter than you, however, it falls within your purview since I’m on retainer to the entire Peabody family?”
“Yes,” Peggy said. “Go ahead. She’s actually with me at this very moment.”
“Oh, marvelous. I wanted her to know that Theresa Stephanie Kennard has dropped her battle for Power of Attorney and Medical Power of Attorney. My feeling is that we had reached a point where it didn’t matter in that Tina Kennard is essentially well and capable of making her own decisions.”
“Hold a moment, Whit.” She covered the phone and turned to the women seated next to her. “I’ve got wonderful news for you.”
“Angie?” Tina said.
Bette hadn’t spoken, but it was easy to see that the same thought was on her mind.
“No, I’m afraid not. But your sister has dropped her request to be your legal guardian and Power of Attorney. All of that court business is over.”
Tina and Bette nodded. Peggy was surprised that they had no comment, but both women were at the point where they could no longer evoke the proper emotion–they had been on an emotional rollercoaster. Their only priority was Angelica’s return.

i am once again left speechless at your incredible ability to weave a tale. i actually yelped in excitement when Angie was safe but at the same time, believe it or not, felt somewhat sorry for Josh. only your writing could evoke that somewhat schizophrenic sympathy.I’m also a bit worried at the introduction of Jodi into the story but hope that after all that we’ve been through with Bette and Tina to date, she will not pose a threat to their relationship.as for all of the other characters and their stories, i am finding them entertaining and interesting as well which is not usually the case when reading as i’m pretty much just a Tina/Bette fan. this again, is testimony to your ability to ability to entertain.thanks again for the story and the time and effort that must be involved. looking forward as always to reading more.
WOW. you put so much into this everyone was weitten about. Could have done without Jodie tho. thanks
I’ve spent the past two days reading the whole thing, and honestly? It’s great. Really, really great. The characters are well written and adhere to canon, your reweaving of the events of Season 3 into this alternative version is not only really well done, but in my mind — preferable. As for the Jodi issue, if she’s like every other non-core character in your work (herself, but changed), I’ll be very happy to see where that goes. I do wonder, though, moments after Bette is reunited with Tina and her baby for the first time in weeks, she wanders off to talk to Jodi? That seems a little… I don’t know, inhuman? But, hey, if that’s my only complaint in 26 chapters, consider it an amazing feat. I’m a huge Danish fan, and I’m happy to see you keeping the love alive. Would love to see more of that relationship in your writing, but generally I think the chapters are fairly good about being even with their time. You’re prolific. Are you really spitting out this much in three days? Because if so, that’s incredible. I mean, really, really exceptional. Thanks for writing this, it’s a great read, and I can’t wait to see more of it.
more sharmeeeeeen!!! pleasee!!..excellent chap, so glad angie’s ok, hope you post soon
Thank goodness Angelica is safe. I’m glad Boden was there. Um, not too excited about Jodi showing up in this story :). Can’t wait for the celebration…hope everyone gets a little ‘private celebration’ time :wink:. You’ve really spoiled us this last week Portia. Thanks for this wonderful fic and don’t be gone too long :)
Nice way to weave Jodi and Big Bear into the story – and loved that Bette denied ‘gush’ing. Great stuff, Portia.
Bette better mess up of jodi!! yeah for angie being okay… now it’s time for the port-kennards to get on with their lives. tina needs to finish her rehab.i wonder what else steph. did what else is she hiding??? great update!!:)
Ahhhh… I can breathe now. That was tense, but Baby A is safe, finally! I’m so glad there was a third person there and Boden clocked that whining maggot Josh. Although, I think Bette would have ripped him apart eventually anyway. Hels is leaving, which is a shame, but her heart’s somewhere else… So! Ol’ Steph’s about to get her comeuppance, big time. I hope Peter gets his money back, as well as his furniture. I’m dreading the stuff coming out that was on that list of hers. Girl needs help, if she can survive prison. This was so good, I can’t wait for the next post. thanks Portia.
glad angie is ok…can’t wait for shane to get home and face the wrath of carmen…things need to change
