    Author Notes:

    Bette deals with haters, Dana tries to explain, Shane and Carmen agree to disagree, Helena reaches out while another flips out.

     

    “In this case, the State is watching your daughter’s situation vigilantly.”

     

    “What?”

     

    “More and more states are placing legal bans on parental same-sex adoptions on the books.  California, I don’t suspect will do that, but gay marriage and gay adoption are hot buttons here.”

     

    Stephanie perked up. 

     

    “But Tina and Bette wanted this child, they planned for it,” Theresa said, heartfelt concern etched her face.

     

    “But mom, you’ve got to agree that things would be so much easier for Tina and especially for Angelica and, you, too, Bette, if things were more normal.”

     

    Bette was cringing.  She wanted to stomp her foot.  She had been positive that this was what was on Stephanie’s mind all along.  Bette was relieved that Tina’s sister was staying elsewhere.  It saved her the awkwardness of throwing her ass out of her home.

     

    “I don’t believe in gay adoption.  I think that a child is best raised with having both a mother and a father and I think she’ll suffer later on in the absence of traditional family values.”

     

    “Your Daddy wasn’t around a lot of the time, Stephanie.  He was in and out of the picture since you were a baby.”  Theresa tried to calm the fire that was ominously hinting at a loss of control.

     

    “And look, without a male figure in her life Tina turns gay.”

     

    “Are you lesbian, too, Steph?  Without that male figure?”  Bette questioned.  Angelica had no idea, but time and time again, she was the only thing preventing Bette from tearing these various and sundry haters apart. 

     

    “Not…at…all.  Engaged to be married to a heterosexual man, thank you very much. And you know what else?  I think Tina was just confused.”

     

    Theresa had had more than enough.  “Stephanie will you please shut the hell up?” 

     

    “I’m finished.  I’m here for Tina, anyway.”  Stephanie turned away from the door and moved over to Tina’s bed.

     

    “Ms. Collie, if I may.  I have had the pleasure these last few days of watchin’ Bette with this little baby and I have no doubt she loves this child as if she had given birth to her. She’s an excellent mother.”

    1. portia, really thankyou. You take as long as you need to tell us your version of S3. Your Dana is true to other seasons and I loved her little pitstop!! Couldn’t Theresa be Bette’s supporter with the adoption process, being a blood relative wouldn’t she be offered Angelica before social services took her?? Keep steph away, sounds a bit homophobe…I like seeing the snipits of Alpha Bette..and the struggling one made me cry. Portia, there is so much in your story and this chapter, thankyou for giving us readers so much to digest we are so very lucky to have you posting again…pls don’t stop…

    3. If I haven’t commented on your story in previous post, I’m sorry. This is so heartfelt and moving. Also, you brought the funny in this chapter with Alice and her Hermes Scarf and Bette with the wallpaper money. I think I’ve read a Tibette story of yours before ages ago on Ralst’ Passion & Perfection. Thank you so much for sharing your talent – and for writing lots when you write. I love the long stories.

    4. I just started this chapter. Theresa Kennard has invaded B&T’s home. Why am I getting a flashback to that story where Vanessa Redgrave loses her longtime companion and her family comes and takes everything from her, including their house? Please, tell me I am delusional…back to your wonderful story…

    5. This story has it all: length, breadth and depth. It’s a winnah, baby! They need to spare us the formalities and just hand you your Fanfic Award right now! I wish I could comment in depth, but I feel too shallow right now….Thanks!
