“So now we all know?” Alice peered around the group.
“Now we all know” nodded Bette.
“Now they all know” Helena looked at Estelle inquiringly. If Estelle was fine with it, it would mean she’d stay. Stay, Estelle.
Estelle sat back in her seat with her tea-no-sugar, glanced around the sunny café, looked at the group of friends gathered round the table, and finally met her sister’s imploring eyes. And smiled. “Good”
Chapter 12
(That afternoon, in the car)
“Bette!”
“Where? Where?” jumped Helena, looking around frantically.
“Tsk tsk. Too easy” Estelle shook her head in mock disappointment. Estelle drummed her fingers lightly on the steering wheel as they cruised towards the Peabody mansion. “God, you even checked your hair! Did you really think she’d be here? We just left her at The Planet, for goodness’ sake!”
Not even slightly embarassed, Helena grinned ever so widely.
Estelle couldn’t help but grin, mirroring her sister. It was so good to see Helena so happy again. And Helena had a way of unabashedly wearing her silly grins that it made Estelle herself become just as silly and happy. “Stop that! My cheeks are hurting from smiling too much! Plus, I have a reputation to maintain, you know”
Helena laughed “Your cheeks hurt from lack of use Estelle; it’s been stuck in that frown for too long”
“It has not! I smile! A lot! See?”
“That doesn’t count. You’re only smiling because I’m smiling”
“Well, that too” conceded Estelle before adding “but I am happy, you know…”
“The indecision was wearing you out, wasn’t it?” asked Helena thoughtfully. “To stay or to go”
Nodding, Estelle wondered again if she’d made the right decision. Her pensive expression quickly turned to a smile, at having been understood. It was so easy with Helena- she didn’t have to explain things, talk about feelings and thoughts and all that mush. Helena simply knew. That alone was enough reason to stay, wasn’t it?
Helena reached out and jiggled her sister’s ear affectionately “Well, I, for one, am very happy with your decision” She pointed to her wide grin “See?”
“Ugh” laughed Estelle in feigned disgust. And they were back to the silly grins again.

OMG I can’t believe I’m first. Glad to see you found the strength to write an dpost this lovely wtory again dear vvitchy. I liked it very much as always and enjoyed the convo between Mrs P and her daughters. i really hope she and helena will get passed their differences and have a healthy mother daughter relationship.As to answer your question I would say Estelle would bring Tina but I guess it will be too obvious so i’m going for Alice?? Don’t leave us hanging too long sweetie thx
i think estelle will try to bring tina…. really great update! thanks! pls. post soon!
can’t get nothing past peggy at all can you, love that woman not only is she hilarious but she gave birth to two hot daughters in this fic. who will estelle bring to dinner?? hmmm?? well i think it depends if your feeling soppy, if you are then it’ll be tina, one big happy family round a dinner table but if your feeling comical it’ll be alice but then again i could be completely of you do something really really unexpected and have her bring jenny or dare i say moira/max i dont think anyone would see that one coming (or want to but anywayyy)love this story pps
Bring Shane! She’s cool. Or Kit. Kidding, but I always think that meeting ex girlfriends with your current date would be TOO weird. Yet nothing is TOO weird for ya? Haaaa. Great job V, you’re the best! The best! The best! “too easy…” shakes head. Do continue! -waves the pom-pom around-
i sure as hell hope it isn’t tina…dang-it!!! alice would be so much funnier…wonderful update, as usual..
I was gonna say the same thing Belena said. I love Peggy…
I love this story! Funny, sweet, dramatic… :D I think perhaps Estelle would want to bring Tina but I don’t know whether Tina would want to go with her. Hmm..
Ok, I’ve just read all of these! I can’t believe I left them for so long to catch up!!! I have to say I like Peggy in this one. Your portrayal of her on the show is fantastic! And I also really like the contrast between Estelle and Helena! Some brilliant writing again babe ;)
Oops…two times lightning, first time must be lightness sorry.
Another great chapter vvitch, loved the interaction between the sisters and also between the three of them. Great way of portraying those awkward feelings between Peggy and Helena, I recognize those feeling very well. You’re a great writer, you combine seriousness with lightning to lightning the mood, I admire that. Well the question I guess Alice is the best date choice for Estelle. Keep doing the good work, I loved it.
Great writing Master V. You can certainly feel the difference between Helena and Estelle. She why do H and E have such a different opinion of their Mum? Please elaborate…Oh I think it will be Tina..Should be interesting to see B&T interact with Belena and Testelle interactions….Does Tina know about the twins yet? Will have to reread
*dancing and smiling* So Peggy knew, huh? How you are able to give “the face of Helena” two distinct voices, add in Peggy…have us feel the changes in their personalities (in her presence) and make it believable is beyond me. Even the familial struggles and desire for repair ring true in what is starting to have the feel of a dramedy (spelling) This is really beautifully written. Who shall E bring? I agree Al would be fun in this mix and yeah Tina is expected but I think, it would be more challenging and complex.
Great chapter once again, vvitch! Poignant how Peggy tried to get through to Helena without her knowing she knew of the switch, and I just love how these three banter! I figure Estelle will want to bring Tina, but yeah–will she come? And I also don’t remember if Tina knows yet about the twins! Let us know soon!
ohh, my vicky, I love your fic soo much, it’s such a nice surprise when I see a new chapter! I love this “triangle” between Peggy and her two daughters, it’s so funny and so much add to the characters, to both of them. For so much I love Helena and her love for Bette, I cannot but miss the fierce Estelle and I so much can’t wait to read about the dinner with Peggy and Estelle and Bette at the same table! To answer your question, of course Estelle should bring Tina!!! That would be fantastic to read… please, pretty please, Tina is the one very reason (other than Helena) Estelle decided to stay. She can’t but bring her!
This is great! I loved the interations between Peggy and her daughters. Now..I think Estelle should bring…Alice! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Can’t wait for the next chappy!
This is so funny, Helena will bring Bette and Estelle will bring Tina, and this will give Peggy a big shock lol. Ok post soon please, thanks!
