    Author Notes:

    B & T Story: Time for Bette to tell Melvin and Lottie finds a friend in Alice …

    She listened with interest as Bette spoke of her own life as though it was something she’d become inherently and rapidly familiar with, Melvin grimaced when Bette explained that after Maxine’s death Lottie’s father had taken it upon himself not to tell her, she spoke of injustice and lost years and Lottie watched her, as Kit and Tina reached around to lay soothing hands upon her back and shoulders, wondering if she truly believed that,

    After all, what had Bette really lost, she had a nice life, a successfully life, Lottie listened and thought of all the differences it could have made to ‘her’ life had she known Bette at seven rather than at nineteen, she couldn’t help but imagine that Bette would have made for a more useful guide in life than four different stepmothers who each got younger and younger as time progressed,

    “Then there’s Mom’s lawyer …” said Bette, launching into the tale of how she single handedly conquered Roger and put him in his place,

    Melvin smiled approvingly, sharing equal sadness and disappointment with Bette when they discussed Maxine’s family and their unwillingness to accept Melvin or the colour of his skin. Lottie felt for them, for their tears and their experience of such prejudice, better to have been in her position surely? better to have been accepted but never loved rather than loved but cast aside?

    Tina noticed her squirming, uncomfortably, rubbing her hands back and forth as if her palms were on fire,

    “Are you okay?” she asked,

    Lottie nodded,

    Bette continued, on a roll, telling Melvin about the Trust and her plans, how she and Lottie would right some wrongs and put those men in their places, Lottie stopped listening, realising that she was no longer significant,

    “I have to go …” Lottie mumbled, standing up quickly,

    Tina glanced up sharply, “Go …?”

    Lottie nodded, making her way out of the room without saying goodbye to any of them,

    Bette laid a touch on her fathers arm, suitably confused,

    Tina followed her through to the kitchen, “Are you really leaving?”

    Lottie nodded, not turning around, “I’m … uh … I’m not feeling too well,” she turned, seeing that Bette had caught up with Tina and they were both standing staring at her, neither of them seeming to believe a word of it,

    1. well this is fantastically well written. the only problem with it is that helena and bette aren’t together. *slapping knee* no, but seriously, this is really really good. i’m going to have to go back over it all and refresh my understandings of the characters, but this is definately phase 1 of my tibette research. no, you have not captured me onto your ship–i just happen to love your writing sofa!

    2. Fantastic update. Bette doesn have a tendency to take over, but at least Tina helped her realize it. That was a different Melvin. Lottie and Joe are so cute.

    6. ya a post…..little old T horny and frustrated….. B should have to pay for that and not necessarily in a good way. T should make her work for it, really work for it!!! SOOOO LOOKING FORWARD TO UR NEST POST!!!

    7. Fantastic Sofa! Gosh I really enjoy this story! I thought for sure you were going to add some type of twist with Melvin! lol I would like to meet Lottie’s father and him and Bette have a go. But I am guessing if it happens it won’t be for a while. Post soon and I am sure you will do fine on your finals!

    8. One more thing, call me childish but whenever you reference Lisa in the looney bin I chuckle. It’s not funny, but it’s funny considering her occupation. :)

    10. ok, had to chuckle at helebette’s ‘research’… you know she secretly rides this ship. ;) Fantastic as usual, my partner in Tibette crime. Now let’s just hope Bette doesn’t bite Alice’s head off, huh?

    12. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Wow, I was thrilled to see you had posted! And then the AN… Thank you! I’m slowly getting better but still need a lot of rest and this chap’ was soooooo what was needed! I love this… It went quite well with Melvin… I understand Lottie’s break down though. I also understand Bette’s concern about her father who is an old man now, but maybe it’s time that Bette sees that it’s not about two different families anymore, and that she and Lottie have to form a unit in order to make it all right again… But I know you’ll take care of that one way or another, dear Sofa! I love how Tina always makes Bette see some sense… And I think it’s awfully cute how you make your wise and steady Tina get all horny and frustrated. It gives a great rythm to the B/T dynamic! Finally, I thought the ring thing was really nice and I hope that Lottie will give it to Bette, that would be such a perfect token of Bette’s legitimacy in her mother’s legacy… Anyway, great chapter and thank you so much for making my sick time much better! ;)

    17. At least Bette’s come to her senses a bit, and is seeing how Lottie might be feeling. I’m relieved Melvin wasn’t all harsh and forbidding like he used to be… Jo and Lottie are too cute! Great update sofa, thanks! (Love the story, but I can wait for posts, I’d rather you did well on your finals… study!)

    18. While I understand and agree that Bette may not have thought about Lottie’s feelings the entire time…i think you’ve pointed out that Melvin deserved the way Bette was treating it, cuz no matter how full her life is..she is being faced with a young woman who her own mother raised until she couldn’t…that was somthing more Bette never had and can never get back. Lottie not having Bette growing sucked, but she still at an age where Bette can make a difference and she is gaining the entire crew as family…it just seems to me that people are telling Bette Hey…don’t forget Lottie..(which i get and is right) but human emotions are human emotions and i don’t care how old you are, knowing that your mother abandoned you and raised another child until her death…is well…it’s a bitter taste that is hard to get out. And while Bette is happy with Tina and Angie…I would imagine it still would make for a rough time dealing with her father and her own emotions. Thanks for this story.

    20. I just got caught up on this story and I LOVE IT. Yes in deed, what would Bette do without Tina. I hope that Bette and Lottiespend a couple of hours talking and Lottie tell her the story of the two rings (That was SO triffling what her father did with the other ring. What a jerk). Bette should alsotell Lottie what Melvin said and that he would like to see her again. With all of his previous short comings, Lottie’s father makes Melvin look like a prime catch. PPS :o).

    21. First of all I love all of your Tibette heart. Second of all, you have given us the family that we all want for Tibette. Even Melvin has mellowed. Lottie and Bette can become true sisters by standing up to their grandfather’s family. I also love the fact that Lottie feels like she should return the ring that Melvin gave to her mother. In one sense I hope that Melvin will let Lottie continue to wear it. Lottie needs to have that connections to someone who loved her. Hopefully Bette and the rest of the gang will continue to allow Lottie into their family.

    22. Oh, I just thought of something. Maybe the reason that Lottie’s father took the ring back is that he knew that Maxine’s heart would always belong to this other man, “Melvin”. Maybe Maxine mentioned that she left a child that she loved with all of her heart but could not remain with her. It sounds like Maxine never did get over Melvin and Bette and when Lottie came about Maxine had trouble dealing with the fact that she had left behind an important part of her life in Bette. The impression that I get from Lottie is that Maxine was stand offish.
