Bette laughed, “Yes you did, so I suppose I’ll have to suffer the punishment.” She paused, “Do you think you’ll be back in LA for her birthday?”
Helena looked thoughtful. “I don’t know, I want to be, but I’m not sure the kids are ready.”
Bette took Helena’s hand in her own. “Helena, the kids will be ready when you’re ready. I think you know that.”
Helena smiled, a slight tear rolling down her cheek. “I feel so bad for them Bette, they lost their mother and the thing keeping me awake at night isn’t that, but the thought of going back to Malibu to an empty house.”
“Have you spoken to her?”
“Who? Mandy?”
“Yes.”
“No.” Helena paused. “Li-li has, she misses her. Mandy said she would see them but it seems wrong, to let them, if she’s not planning to stick around.”
Bette nodded. “Maybe you should see her though. You know, to move on.”
“I fucked this up so badly Bette.” said Helena, looking to her friend with eyes pleading the need of comfort, of condolence.
“No you didn’t Hels, you fell in love and then something terrible happened. I know it’s not fair, or right, it’s not fair on you or your kids and it’s probably not how Mandy planned things either but it’s happened, and it’s time you started getting on with your life again. And the last time I looked, your life was in LA.”
Helena nodded and sighed, “So much easier to run and hide though, isn’t it?”
Bette smiled to herself as she walked back into the hotel lobby carrying so many bags she thought her arms would break. The bellboy rushed to help her.
“Shopping? Ms. Porter”
“Just a little bit, … could you grab those two for me?” she asked, motioning to two large bags containing Angie’s birthday present from Helena which the cab driver had placed on the floor.
She’d returned Helena home in a somewhat better mood, but then again they’d ended the afternoon having coffee with Jenny and she could remind anyone that what they had wasn’t so bad. Bette had to laugh, the literary circles of New York had done little to improve Jenny’s sombre and serious mood, only served to enhance it. Still it had the desired effect on Helena, she felt her cell phone buzzing in her jacket pocket and rushed to place the bags on the floor and answer it.

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
