“So, how’s my baby-sis?” Kit asked Tina.
“Oh fine, in her element in New York as always.”
“Where’s she staying this time?” asked Kit, “I assume Peggy’s got a bit too much on at the moment?”
Tina nodded. “She offered, of course, but I don’t think Bette wanted to be in the way, she’s just at a hotel. But she said she might pop down to Philly and visit Melvin at the weekend.”
“And how is Helena?” Kit asked, pointedly.
Tina shrugged, “Not so good. I mean she’s devastated for her kids, so much so that I don’t think she’s really allowing herself to grieve, she just ended the longest and most serious relationship she’s ever been in. I really feel for her.” Tina said, wanting to add that she hadn’t seen Helena this cut up since she and Alice broke up, but with Lisa sitting beside her at the table and somehow the words didn’t seem right.
She eyed her good friend and co-worker up and down, her supposed ‘straight’ friend who she’d gone into partnership with thinking it would give them a decent balance. Now Lisa was divorcing her husband and seeing a lot of Alice, although perhaps not as much as Alice would have liked. Clearly Alice was head over heels in love but both Bette and Tina felt that Lisa still had one foot firmly planted in heteroville.
“Anyway,” continued Tina, “I told Bette to drag Helena out shopping whilst she’s there. It’ll do her good to get away from the house and all the ‘sorting out’ for a while.”
Lisa and Kit only nodded. Looking for a way to turn the lunchtime conversation in a lighter direction the three of them turned on Lottie.
“So,” asked Kit, “How long do we have the pleasure of your company for?”
Lottie closed the magazine and looked up. “Well I don’t start school again until the fall, I guess as long as Tina finds stuff for me to do and isn’t sick to the back teeth of me …”
“… hardly,” interjected Lisa. “You’re kind of putting our poor assistant to shame. You’ve cleared more paperwork in one morning than she does in a week.”
“How’s school going?” Kit asked, in a rather motherly fashion.

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
