She waited, seeing if Helena would give her a sign that she wanted to talk further. Since Winnie’s accident they’d hardly seen her. Initially everyone had rallied round but the funeral was held in New York and only Tina, Bette and Alice had been able to make it. Then when Mandy left her Helena had made the decision to take the kids back to New York for a while, hoping that the familiar city and her family close by would make the transition easier. Bette suspected that it was only making things harder, delaying the inevitable but Helena was a bit too fragile for that conversation right then.
“So how do you know about this place?” Helena asked
“This place, it’s been here forever. One of the oldest Diners in New York I think. I used to come here when I was at NYU, bring a sketch pad or my notebook and just sit in one of the booths for hours. They do the best milkshake.”
Helena grinned, always surprised that beneath Bette’s serious and professional exterior there was a child-like heart that liked milkshakes and rollercoaster rides and days out to the beach. “I didn’t know you were at NYU, I thought you went to Yale.”
“I did, undergrad. I did my Masters in Fine Art here at NYU. I showed my first ever exhibition here in the Spring of that year, that’s when I knew I was never going to be an artist but the person who decides which Art is shown.”
Helena laughed at Bette’s simplistic explanation of what her job entailed.
“So do you think my favourite niece is going to like the skates I bought her?” asked Helena, holding up a pair of metallic pink and silver in-line skates.
Bette nodded, “I think she’s going to love them, and I think her mama is going to punish me for weeks for allowing you to buy them for her.”
Helena pouted slightly, delving further into the bag, “but I bought her all the protective gear as well,” she added, holding high the knee and elbow guards along with a helmet, “come on Bette, she’s been asking for them for months now and I know Tina will never agree to you buying them for her. Come on, I practically promised her.”

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
