Bette chuckled dryly, “He can be a cantankerous old sod sometimes …” she said, tucking her feet beneath her on the bed, “but for the most part he’s been a great father”
Lottie smiled, aware it was the first time Bette had ever spoken to her like this, so personally,
Bette sighed, “Then next week … Tee and I are going to talk to Joyce … our lawyer, not that I don’t trust Roger it’s just that Joyce is an old and trusted friend, someone I can rely on to give me impartial advice”
Lottie nodded again, it was all sounding quite hopeful,
“Then we should talk …” said Bette, rather formally, “come up with a strategy plan for where we go from here …”
Lottie paused, before bursting out laughing and covering her face in surprise at her sudden outburst, especially when Bette herself seemed so very sincere,
“What?” asked Bette, her own tone becoming lighter as Lottie’s laughter was infectious,
“I’m sorry …” said Lottie, wiping tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, “I’m sorry … it’s just that you make it all seem so very dark and gloomy …” she paused, suddenly turning serious again, “Is that how you really feel Bette? … like I pushed you in to this awful thing?”
Bette drew in a long slow breath …
She wasn’t entirely miles from the mark …
“No …” Bette replied gently, tentatively reaching out to touch Lottie’s shoulder, “no … it’s not … it’s just …” she paused, looking Lottie directly in the eyes with abject honesty, “I’m bad with change …” Bette admitted, “really bad … and for me this is all a very ‘big’ change, but I’m working on it” she added with a smile,
Lottie grinned, “Control freak huh?”
Bette shrugged, it couldn’t be denied, although she knew she was a lot better than she used to be, nowadays at least she had a tendency to make decisions before the moment had passed her by entirely,
They regarded each other silently for a moment, Lottie felt like she truly saw Bette’s real life for the first time. It wasn’t about her being the Dean, or a respected Gallery owner, those were just things she did they didn’t make up who she was. Instead Lottie saw a wife and a mother, a daughter … humorous and contrite and terribly self-effacing … she began to understand the many intricacies of Bette’s life that made it impossible and irresponsible for her to just make decisions on a whim,

I swear Angie’s becoming a mini Alice. Too funny.
Awww perfect – loved your version of fuzzy wuzzy, so cute :o)) Hope Lisa won’t loathe Tina for this and the Bette/Lottie talk was great, Lottie is so sweet especially when Jo is around or when thinking of her LOL. More soon please…
At least we found out what Lisa’s problem was… I didn’t think Alice could leave anyone *that* cranky. The way Bette and Tina are together is really so sweet, no wonder Lottie’s all warm and fuzzy looking at them. Maybe she’ll get that with Jo… That being said, it would be *excellent* if Bette and Helena conspired to take down the old twits at the Beauchamp Trust, Old School Alpha style, one de-balling at a time. That’s something I’d be looking forward to seeing. Young Lottie can study at the feet of the Mistresses, and become fully trained in the Ways of the Alpha. Jo won’t know what’s hit her after that! This chapter was ace, sofa. Thanks!
Wow! Excellent post. Your writing is so eloquent. I love it. More please!
No one love like Bette, but Tina is the rock of the gang and the most understanding. Lottie will be loved by Bette completely as will Tina love her but Tina will be the one she comes to to be understood. thanks
This is a fantastic story Love It PPS
Wonderful. Perfect.
I love this Bette and Tina!!!! oh if only IC can read this. And not drag it out like she said in the podcast with RS!!!! DID U UPDATE YET…LEMMIE GO CHECK!!!! LOL!!
WOW!!! GREAT POST!!!! Thanks PPS
Fuzzy wuzzy is exactly what I’m feeling right now!!! Thanks so much for this post. Angie is so cute, I could totally picture her asking that chicky question, and then ewwwwwing at B&T!!! Nice to see that Bette can be there for Tina as well. I liked the “control freak” reference… Is it because of last episode? ;) You B&T represent my ideal B&T in 7 years time! Seriously… And the aliens probably won’t have invaded us but it might be that the lesbians have to save the world from IC’s writing!… ;)
This chapter was slammed full of information. I loved it. Helena has really become a good friend to both Bette and Tina. Tina did the right thing by getting help for Lisa. I wonder how Alice will feel when she finds out what happen to Lisa. Bette and Lottie are going to be great business partners and the rest of the world better take cover because they will storm the world together.
I love this story.
Love your story.
Magnificent
sweet
Hated to read about Lisa. Hopefully, she will get the help she needs and her kids back. Thanks for allowing Bette to make an effort in reaching out to Lottie. I thinking talking to Tina helped her alittle with her feelings. Now it is time for the be a little Alpha and go see Jo!!! However, she really should not discuss her and Jo with or around Angie!
This is just the best…really, the BEST!!!
Really utterly beautiful. Shame we have to wait, but hey it is worth the waiting.
I love this story. I hope it still lasts very long. post soon
I concur with all the previous, commenters…sweet, magnificent..the best… how wonderful it is that Bette and Tina are such a great role model, (well their relationship), as Lottie begins to sort out her feelings for Jo. What a simply marvelous story…
