Bette: “Do you mind if I sit with you?” she says with a smile.
Carmen: “Elizabeth, I was wondering if you were going to come. Sit make yourself comfy.” she says pointing to the seat across from her.
Bette: “Do you come here a lot?” she says looking around at the new pictures and displays on the walls.
Carmen: “I think I have been coming here for as long as my girlfriend and I have been together; which is about 16 years or so.” she says thinking back to all those years ago.
Bette: “Wow that sure is along time. I actually stopped coming here around the same time you started so we missed each other back then.”
Carmen: “Oh really. Maybe we know some of the same people I do then?”
Bette: “Maybe.” she says with a small laugh.
Carmen: “So tell me where are you moving here from?”
Bette: “Actually we are moving back here from Chicago. It was just time for a move, you know what I mean?”
Carmen: “We? Do you have a girlfriend?”
Bette: “No. Not right now. Just me and my daughter Samantha.” she says wondering how Sam is doing on her first day of school.
Carmen: “Oh that is great; how old is she?”
Bette: “She is 15 going on 20.” she says as they both laugh. “Do you have any children Carmen?”
Carmen: “Actually yes. I have one son Ethan who is 13 years old not going on to 20; he is totally 13.” she says and they both share another laugh.
Bette: “So you and your girlfriend?”
Carmen: “Shane.” she says filling in the blank.
Bette: (nearly choking) “Shane?”
Carmen: “Yeah do you know her?” she says a little defensively thinking that Bette might be one of Shane‘s formers.
Bette: “Sounds familiar. UmmCarmen it was nice talking to you but I really have to get to a meeting.” she says quickly gathering her things and standing up.
Carmen: “Wait a minute. Sounds familiar because you slept with her or bec”
Bette: (cutting Carmen off) “Oh no nothing like that I swear. If you don’t mind I really do need to be going.”

The anticipation is killing me..but I love it. I love a good build-up, it adds so much more to the story. I hope you do make this a B&T reunion eventually, take your time. Go with any pace you feel like.
Let get them together soon, please. Love the story, looking forward to your next post. And for a bit of B&T reunion.
oehh exciting i love this story i am curious how it will continue so please post soon
I hope Dana and Shane will start looking for Bette. Let’s bring them all together again.please post soon.
I love this B&T version, please get them back together…I haven’t caught any of the new episodes, partly because of the comments of the authors and readers…I’m planning on sitting down tomorrow and having my own little L word marathon. Please continue
I’m shocked no one has asked Carmen what this Elizabeth chick looks like. You would think at least Alice would ask especially after Carmen said she ran out at the mention of Shane’s name.
awesome, just bloody awesome. im loving it. its such an original idea to have them grown up with kids, anyway, bloody A plus and 5 stars, plz post again soon!
This story is just great!! Looking forward to Alice’s reaction when she finds out about Bette coming back to town! And of course about Tina & Bette reunion too ;). Waiting for your next post!
I guess the mission now, for Dana and Shane,is to ascertain the desires of one, Bette Porter, in returning to WeHo, and how they should divulge this info to Carmen, Alice, and most importantly, Ms. Kennard. Anxiously awaiting more! Also love the addition of TLW’s next generation.
Great!!! Looking forward to more.

This is so good and cant wait to see they know Bette’s back!
This is so great….and like smiley the anticipation is also killing me, but I love it :o))
I can help but feel sad for Bette I don’t know why that is. I was also shocked that Alice did not ask Carmen what Elizabeth looked like fallowed be another 20 questions. Can’t wait for more, post real soon.
