Lottie nodded, “I’ve seen other paintings of hers, but never anything like these,” she whispered, looking over the bright watercolours and intricate details of the flowers on the canvas,
Bette smiled, “Somehow I always had it in my head that wherever she was, whatever she was doing, … I had the only pictures she ever painted,”
Lottie touched her arm gently, sad that it wasn’t true,
She looked up at Bette, grinning, “Bette … you should see some of the others,” she paused, “they’re amazing, I mean it, … she was really really talented,”
“I can’t wait to see them,” said Bette, her voice filled with sadness,
Lottie saw the anguish in her face, how hard to have to come to terms with the fact that everything she’s let herself believe all her life was really just fiction, none of it real, there was an absolute reality just staring them both in the face, and that was what they had to deal with,
“Bette …” said Lottie quietly, putting down the painting, she fingered the ring on her finger gently, remembering what Alice had said about Bette’s inability to be truly honest about the things she felt, her inability to show her weakness,
“Uh hmn” Bette mumbled, watching her closely,
Lottie smiled then, slipping the ring from her finger, she took hold of Bette’s arm and opened the palm out flat, laying the ring in the centre as Bette watched on, surprised,
“What’s this?”
Lottie sighed, “It’s yours, I was going to give it back to Melvin but it never seemed to be the right time …” she admitted, a little disappointed in herself,
Bette studied her carefully, so full of surprises, “You’re giving me a ring?”
“Not just any ring,” replied Lottie, “Moms engagement ring …” she paused, “the engagement ring your Dad gave her …”
Bette sniffed, as tears pricked against the front of her eyes, “That’s … um” she turned the ring carefully between her fingers, looking at it from all sides, “it’s beautiful”
Lottie nodded, “Yeah …”
“You guys up there?” called Tina, from down on the landing,
Bette cleared her throat, “Yeah, we’re up here … come up”
Angie and Tina climbed the stairs and Angie went rushing over, eager to see what her Mom and Lottie were looking at, Bette pulled her onto her lap, handing Lottie the paintings to hold,

ok so am waiting…when’s the next one gonna b up…huh..huh??? this one was sweet, got all the basis covered. for a while there I thought that u’d have someone at Jo’s apartment. *wipes forehead* NPP!!!
Lottie and Jo really are adorable… thank the stars Bette and Lottie finally got together and found some common ground and had a *real* talk. I hope this is the start of them becoming really close. Well as close as they can be, with the age gap. …Oh to have been a fly on the wall when Melvin walked in on Miss Pieszecki… I get the giggles just thinking about that. Great chapter, sofa, thanks!
2for2 love it…im glad bette comin around with lottie..p.p.s.
I get so into your writing….I hate to scroll down and come to the end, but, alas! there is always the anticipation of more… Love how Lottie is slowly, but surely getting the family she so clearly wants, but doesn’t everyone… wonderful….
Awesome. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Something tells me Bette isn’t going to let her little sister remain in a premed program. I loved it. PPS
What a great story. FResh and delicious.
I so love this story!!!! Bette and Lottie are so alike its funny. But I am glad they are becomming close. Thank you PPS
The second coming of Bette and Tina starring Lottie and Jo as the star crossed lovers. Alice is still Alice. You know that she will always be there for you. I like how you have written Melvin and how he has mellowed. The whole extended family is what I would strife to have in my own life.
Hey, let them think whatever they want, PC. Awesome and totally sweet, as always.
I love love this story, you know that don’t you…all the characters are great including Melvin-what a surprise???? My fav is Lottie; my fav couple?…well, thats not hard but Lottie and Jo are shaping up to give em a run for their money huh??? Catch you next week.
i READ this and i loved it, and then i skipped to another story of yours–and forgot to comment. your nc17 is faaaantastic. heh;) you make me LIKE tina and bette together which is a HUGE feat my friend. good work, and keep it up. very cute…
Oh BTW, forgot to say – don’t skip the night, wanna read about Lottie/Jo :o))
Awww I love this story – loved the Bette/Lottie talk which was needed, love your Tina and looove Lottie/Jo – so fucking cute :o)) More, more, more of this story, pleeeaaaase (okay I just begged I think LOL)
Love this, love this, love this! Even better without the sniffing and all those tissues around!… “Promise me this will never stop”… such a great line…. I’m glad that Bette and Lottie finally “really” talked. I think that Bette should offer Tina her mother’s ring. It would be symbolic and right the wrong…. Anyway, thanks for this chapter, I just came back from a vacation and found it… It was a great surprise! ;)
That was wonderful!
