Previously:
The family watched in silence, remembering this one well since it hadn’t happened all that long ago, Alice’s narration took up again, moaning about the location, the cold, and the impromptu dragging of them all to barren snowy Canada, so much so that Lottie was too busy listening to her drone on and on and almost missed it, hearing a snigger from Alice as the shot panned sideways, revealing Shane and Carmen stood facing each other opposite a minister, with Carmen sporting a ‘very’ noticeable bump,
Lottie chuckled, “Were you pregnant?”
“I bloody hope so,” Carmen replied, “it’s either that or I was ‘seriously’ fat!”
And lone behold there was Freddie, his arrival just a few months later, a screeching bundle of dense black hair and ‘icky stuff’ as Angie described it. On mass they all looked over at him, eight months old and bouncing, a picture of health and happiness and everything they strove for,
Shane lifted him out of the stroller, interrupting an important after dinner nap-time which earned her a disgruntled look, “Hey mate …” she spoke to him softly, “look, it’s you …”
She pointed to the TV, as Alice’s film editing took the piss once again, capturing a repeat of the ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots,
“I knocked your Mommy up,” Shane muttered, grinning at Carmen, “so I thought I’d better marry her,”
Carmen laughed, “So romantic,”
Summer Vacation – Chapter Forty Five
As the final credits on Alice’s film rolled an air of sadness filled the room. Lottie looked up to find herself surrounded by a group of contemplative, reminiscent faces, each one remembering small facts they’d forgotten about some past aspect of their life.
“Cheer up,” Lottie mumbled, “I’m the one who’s supposed to be depressed since I’m the one who’s getting old …”
Kit picked up a couch cushion and threw it at her, “Old! … come find me when you’re re-watching your sixtieth and then tell me who’s old!”
Lottie grinned back at her, hugging the cushion to her lap,
“Al … that was great,” smiled Tina, finally getting up, the others seemed to follow suit, slowly clearing away the cartons from the take-out like little robots, mechanically following each other into the kitchen,

that was really really really good…i say it ever time, but this story is just getting better with age. i took your advice on the end, but what i did read was beautiful and in my experience, very accurate to…just, everything really. lovely sweety, really good. *smile*
I love this story, but I dunno, I can’t help but be a bit distraught sometimes over Bette and Lottie’s mother. She left such a mess. And why couldn’t she have written Bette a letter, thrown her a bone? Or something, I dunno. It’s like Bette got no answers in the end. I suppose Lottie’s not getting all the answers either, but I’m really glad they’re at least forging something out of it. On a different note, the bit with Al and Hels was hotness. Really good chapter, sofa, thanks
Love alice and helena together!!!! good for shane for telling bette and lottie to talk and talk they must!!! i do feel bad for both though their past is just messy and must terrible for the both of them understand and take in… crazy.. anyway fantastic update… just gets better and better!!! :)
One up it you did Sofa, I think I said before that I like the whole family dynamics of this story. I feel badly for Bette as she didn’t know her mother as well as Lottie and Lottie being young really dosen’t understand that maybe Bette still has some kind of what I call,absent mother worship” Motherless daughters will always think of their mothers as the mother that would have been perfect. Well done. Thank you. Md
Really enjoyed Bette and Lottie talking, finding common ground and sharing their loss. Alice and Helena ain’t so bad either. ; )
hey sofa, was a great convo between B & L, great to see them both come out of their shells (sorta), but I have one issue with this chapter. and as you may or may not recall I have a thing for B & T filled NC17’s and this one had anything but……YYYY OH YYY SOFA!!!! When I read Tina’s thoughts on B singing, I was like yay…some one is gonna get lucky!!! r u gonna fix that just for me???? HUH HUH??? PPS!!! LOL!!!
I’m glad to see Bette and Lottie getting closer, but I still feel sad for Bette that there’s nothing there for her from her Mother. It’s like she wanted Lottie to seek Bette out for Lottie’s benefit. There’s nothing that shows us that Bette’s Mother missed Bette all those years. Great chapter…loved the Ally McBeal dance.
If it was up to Alice to do all the digging, she should have thought twice about her dare. Or helped Helena with the cleanup. Ah, I guess it turned out OK in the long run. Shane got lucky to only have faux dairy intruding upon her bodily crevices-got to be better than sand. But when did Shane get so modest?
Another wonderful post! I so love this story. It took me a bit to get my head around Alice and Helena together but….. I totally get them as a couple now. Looking forward to your next chapter. jinjur
I am totally hooked on this story. Looking forward to more.
As u know I love dis story n am so glad dat u have been posting almost regularly:)Just brilliant as usual, thanksPPS
I agree with Madcapper about Bette and Lottie and am glad that they are working their way through this together and communicating MUCH better. Neither can erase the past, but they can build a better future for themselves and take back what was taken from their mother and honor what she tried to do. This will also bode so well for Bette when she has to explain it all to Angie when she gets older. GREAT job Sofa, please continue :o).
Just enjoyed reading the last two chapters. I loved the Ally McBeal/ Barry White dance… my daughter and I do the steps every time we hear the song. Perfect with Helena rockin’ out to the Clash….then rockin’ Alice! Hot. You write the group scenes that I would love to see on the show. I agree with jp22, Bette’s mother frustrates me. How could she have not contacted Bette?? Glad to see that she and Lottie are trying to open up. Amazing as always, sofa.
It is nice to see Bette and Lottie starting to get to know one another better. Thanks to Shane for continuing to get the ball rolling. I love this family that has been put together. Thanks for the post.
That was great and Im with pattifloatn, please post more, thanks!
superb writing as usual and thanks Helebette for the NC17…I have loved Lottie from the beginning and I hope her and Bette get that sisterly feeling going on…they need each other. PPS.
i really like crunchie rolls with my gravy and onions and a beef sausage…the roll lasts longer than bread which just gets sodden, mind you on bread, on a plate with knife & fork is cool too. Now I’m hungry gonna go make me a tortilla. Post soon. I love this story. More Tina. I’m a Tina fan all the way.
Bette and Lottie really needs to talk a lot more. Right now they have one thing in common. Their Mother. Lottie could tell Bette a lot,about her that Bette missd out on,let Bette stop feeling that her Mother didnt care for her. Helena and Alice were hot. Hot Hot. thanks
Splendid as always, Sofa! I really love the way you write the group, family scenes. I think you’re the fanfic counterpart of Angela Robinson, the go-to director of TLW framily episodes. Loved the Kennard-Porters’ Ally McBeal dance. Laurel has been criticized for her dorky dancing in the show. So it was funnier to imagine her doing that famous dance as your Tina in her own, offbeat but utterly endearing way. Btw, I googled that dance just like you suggested but sorry, I didn’t recognize you from the lineup. ;> Glad that the headstrong, at times emotionally accessible sisters have finally started talking, heart to heart. *Thanks again* Sofa! Hope this “Summer Vacation” goes on and on and on… P.S. If you must know, helebette posted the longest comment in the previous chapter. :)
Shane is such a sweetheart and I am glad she is being her usual quiet unassuming self and helping Bette and Lottie reach out for one another. I am so happy to see Bette and Lottie trying to find their own path together. Sisters need one another no matter how old or how long seperated. Every chapter gets better and better!
