Summer Vacation. Chapter 3
She paused for a second, seemingly lost in her thoughts. “Bette so wanted a child, our child to reflect us both, and I’m glad she does. There was a time, briefly when I wished for something less challenging for her, but she’s fine, she knows who her parents are and that’s all she needs.”
“She certainly seems fine to me.” Lottie agreed, adding “after all, so called ‘normal’ parents aren’t often all that they’re cracked up to be.”
Tina smiled, sensing a statement filled with more meaning. “Oh I meant to ask you,” she said, “Angie’s got a play rehearsal after school on Friday but I have a number of late appointments scheduled, so I wondered if you would go for her? She did ask for you personally over Kit, I think you are way cooler” she added, with a grin. “way cooler than her ageing aunt anyway!”
“Sure, I’d be happy to. What’s the play?”
Tina rolled her eyes, “Something which loosely resembles a massacre of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’” she paused, indicating her disproval of the play choice. “The kids all think it’s just a play about fairies, it’s disastrous, Bette keeps telling me not to get involved but I just can’t help it, it’s an outright sin to allow a bunch of eight year olds to ruin a Shakespeare love story.”
She stopped, her eyes glinting with passion. “Sorry,” she blushed, “see this it why Bette doesn’t allow me to go, I tend to get a little worked up over it.”
Lottie grinned, “You sure do seem passionate about it.”
Tina nodded, “Long before I became a psychologist I was a script developer in Hollywood, I guess some things just never leave you.”
“Awesome job.” Lottie stated, “So is Bette afraid you’re going to steamroller an eight-year-olds school play?” she asked with a smirk, intrigued to know more about Bette and Tina’s relationship, having only met the one of them.
“Perhaps,” Tina admitted. “Ever since the Thanksgiving pageant disaster of 2002 I haven’t be allowed to attend school production rehearsals or pass any sort of comment until the opening night.” She said in a droll tone, an expression of mock remorse on her face.
Lottie exploded in laughter, “Oh my god, what on earth did you do?”
“Nothing, well, nothing that bad. I just tried to point out gently it was hugely inconsistent to have the same boy play both Abraham Lincoln, and the slaughtered Turkey, I mean, in who’s world is ‘that’ a good idea?”
Lottie chuckled, “Fair point, fair point.”

I know Lottie’s got something to do with Bette. Now she can’t be Bette’s daughter cos we all know our Ms. Porter was never into guys. But she could be a sister Bette dosen’t know about. Guess I’ll just have to wait for more.
How about daughter of an ex?
I still have a feeling that Lottie will turn out to be Bette’s long lost daughter she had no idea she gave birth to. Lottie is bi-racial too right? I mean the way Tina describes her it would seem like Lottie is a clone of Bette or something. This is gonna kill me until you tell us who the hellafitzgerald this Lottie is. Please post soon
LMAO@akshay! hellafitzgerald! I’ll have to remember that one. I’d be afraid to be a psycologist. I’d probably uncover things about myself I had blocked out and then run screaming into the night because of it.
who could it be????? love this story cant wait till bette gets back into town..or will someone do a surprised visit??.p.p.s.
Hey there… i read your first 2 chapters last night at work… (i can’t comment from work) and i have to say i love this story… at first i thought lottie could be bette’s daughter… but then you said melvin was her father… so i am assuming she is not bi-racial… because angie would of pickup on that right away… so i do believe she is a 1/2 sister to bette and kit… i was also wondering if tina picked up on any thing else… like why lottie did’t do a double take when she met kit… and no mention of tina’s HUSBAND… now we all know she knows who bette and tina are.. but tina doesn’t know she knows… i hope this makes sense… not much sleep today… but i did read what you said … we will know the whole story before long… ok… please continue real soon… later babe
it has to be bette’s daughter cause she said that tina was much different than her other stepmothers.
I just caught up with this story and I love it! Lottie is Bette’s daughter from when she was in college…Bette had a boyfriend in college and she got pregnant…the boy’s family is wealthy and Bette gave up her child, this is a part of her past that Tina or anyone one of her friends don’t know about…maybe Kit..but Kit was off on her own while Bette was younger so she may not know. When Bette gets home and sees Lottie she will know…the question is how will Tina react. I am so ready for another post…please make it happen.
You are weaving a drama that is like a puzzle. We cant figure it out yet. Love that Tina misses Bette so much. Get Helena back to LA ASAP. she needs her friends. I’m not guessing yet about LOTTIE. I dont like to be to far off base thanks
Wow, I just caught up and am really liking this story. I get the idea that Lottie is Bette’s sister by her mother. The same mother that ran out on Bette all those years ago. I love how you are writing Tina. She knows that she has made mistakes but is working hard to be the wife and mother that she expected herself to be.
wait a minute Bette did do guys…even said how disgusting it was that she swallowed that stuff…at least in the L WORD she said that…so maybe this is her baby and the reason she so desperately wanted a child with Tina???? hell, i dunno u’ve got me guessing…blue eyes so must be white father???? post soon pleasz
This is good and love it!
It’s fun to guess what’s gonna happen…I am probably so off base with my guess that I am not even in the ballpark…lol. I just know I need you to post REALLY soon…this is a good one kid….
great chapter and love the mystery behind Lottie.PPS
