She sat by Angie’s side on the trolley, her arm around the little girl’s shoulders, “I’m sure all your friends rushing to sign your cast will make up for it,”
Angie thought for a moment and then gave a slight hint of a smile, seeming to decide after all that perhaps it would,
“Mom!!!” squealed Angie, as Bette’s face appeared as she pulled back the curtain,
“Hey Boo …” said Bette softly, moving in to kiss her daughter, Lottie moved away, sitting down quietly again by the side of the trolley,
“Mom …” said Angie, whining as her mother showered her in kisses, “where were you?”
“I’m sorry sweetie,” she turned to Lottie, “hey, thanks for staying with her,”
Her comment startled Lottie, expecting something more along the lines of admonishment, “That’s … no problem …”
“Where’s Mama?” asked Angie,
“At the desk filling out forms,” Bette paused, “look at you, nice fat lip … well, at least there’ll be no more skateboarding for a while,” she added, making a joke out of it,
Angie’s face crumbled slowly and she began to cry, “I’m … mhnm … hmn … sorry Mom,”
Bette kissed the top of her head affectionately, “It’s ok Boo … accidents happen, it’s ok,”
Lottie slipped away, relieved and slid past Tina at the front desk, joining the others in the ER waiting room,
“Hey,” said Helena, slipping an arm round her shoulders to greet her,
Lottie smiled wearily, all the drama and responsibility made her feel old, and tired, and all sorts of other strange feelings that were tied up with what happens in a family when a crisis ensues.
She leant her head against Helena’s shoulder, “So you found them then?”
Helena grinned, scanning around to see who was in earshot, “Yup,”
“And we interrupted them by throwing stones at the window,” Alice interjected,
“We?” Helena asked,
“Okay,” replied Alice quietly, “You …”
Lottie chuckled, “I bet they loved that, hey …” she added, turning to Shane, “where’s Stacie?”
“Her Mom came and picked her up,” Shane replied, “speaking of which I’d better get going,” she added, “I left Freddie with Tom and Kenny and I’m pretty sure by now they’ll have had enough …”

I CAN believe you made it to 31 chapters. This story is an excellent read! I love how you have locked together Bette and Lottie’s connection here. Kit still has some demons that come out to play…I hope that she is able to heal in time, and I’m sure all of her family will be there to support her through it. Glad Angie’s going to be ok. You write them all so brilliantly. Thanks for the excellent post Sofa. Can’t wait for chapter 32!
Glad B&T didn’t get upset with Lottie. Have kids, have accidents. My son has chipped his teeth skateboarding, busted his head on someone’s teeth playing basketball and banged himself up just jumping down steps in the house. At some point you accept that kids get banged up unless you put them in a protective bubble. Kit needs to come to term with her guilt over her past and poor mothering skills. The past is just that, the past. It doesn’t lessen how she felt about David. She is a different person and now that she has Che, she can make up for her mistakes, but still let Che be a kid. Guess Lottie really knows what being part of a family is really like after this incident. Thanks for the update.
You made my night! I feel spoiled with the consecutive posts! I think it’s only a mtter of time before Lottie’s dad comes down there and then it will be “interesting” with Bette! Post soon!
I’m glad Bette was gently with Lottie she is gradually finding out what it’s like to have a loving family to depend on.
It keeps getting better and better. Helena throwing rocks at the window was classic. What will Lottie have to do to pay Alice back? I’m sure it will be quite interesting. I love the way you are developing the Bette/Lottie story line its so sweet. I can’t wait for the next one. PPS
That was so well done!!!!!! Tears in my eyes for Kit; it is hard to live thinking ‘if only’ but as u said ‘stuff happens’ and we can’t protect everyone we love from life. It’s dangerous. PPS
Lottie is looking for what all of us want from someone whether it is our lover/wife or our parents and that is unconditional love. Neither Bette or Lottie received that while growing up. Bette really only received that with Tina and now she shows that towards Angie, Tina and all those around her that she calls her family. Lottie has just now begun to feel that love and it is coming from Bette and the others. That is what family is all about.
awwww, poor kit. i like the way you’ve handled her worries…i think its ultra realistic and honest. i also like what’s developing between helena and alice…and as i always say, plot, pacing, dialogue, all really wonderful…i can picture the worlds you write, and thats realy really cool for a writer to be able to give us that. and yeah, the themes running throughout are…whats the word…poignant? layered? uhhh…well i really connect with them. the work that lottie does to create family, especially in the times we live in, really really resonates. i’d love to see more of her, and more of the rest, and more of a happy and healthy functionining tibette (gasp, i did say that, didn’t i!) well you write them wonderfully babe, so thats why i like them;)
hmmm…just re-read this…are you going to make lottie hook it up with tom? is jo ever going to stop clubbing and come hang out with lotti? i want you to write the next chapter…forget work tomorrow, this is more important! *taps fingers impatiently on keyboard* ok sweets, i’ll wait…but i won’t be patient about it…hehe
Sofa, I am so locked in to your stories. I’ve even re-read a few over the last few weeks, they are just that good. It allows the escape, fantasy, pride, etc that I think the ladies who created the L-Word have strived for but just can’t seem to deliver. But you’ve got it ten times over, and over, and over…LOL. You spoil us. Here’s hoping you continue to do so!! And soon!
Good chapter. Poor Kit and glad Angie are ok, like that way Bette with Lottie!
Welp, I got that completely wrong… Auntie Kit’s “cooler head” went AWOL. But it’s understandable. Good on Bette for being sensible. And yay for her and Lottie bonding! Now then: Al & Hels… You’ve gone there! Ace! Muchas gracias for the update, sofa. Cheers!
I’m surprised at your lack of influence with Kit, but I’m not so sure I want her advice right now. I think she needs advice and comforting more than Angie or any of them at the moment.
