“Hurry up …” groaned Alice, who obviously had little problem being creative with words,
Lottie chewed on the end of the pen, before leaning forwards thoughtfully to write, “Dear Ange, now when you go on stage, I don’t think I’ll be saying ‘break a leg’…”
Alice read from over her shoulder, “Smart ass … here,” she added, “give me the pen,” she took it from Lottie and bent down to write, “Angie, you punk!! … Don’t hit me with your cast when you read this,”
Helena laughed, “You idiot,” she rolled her eyes at her niece, “Hit her when you’re feeling better honey,”
Angie giggled, “Okay,”
“My turn,” Helena added, scribbling her own note, “Hope you feel better soon Angie, make your Moms wait on you hand and foot, lots of love, Auntie Helena,”
“Thanks,” Bette groaned, giving Helena a friendly push, “stop giving her ideas,”
They sat around eating chinese food, Angie’s choice, that Alice and Helena had picked up on their way over, ordering too much as always. Lottie sat uncomfortably next to Angie, helping her eat with her left hand, growing increasingly uneasy as neither Bette nor Tina made any comments or asked any questions about the skateboarding accident.
“Hey all …” Shane’s voice called out from the kitchen,
Tina got up to greet them, “Heya,” she said to Carmen and Shane, “want any chinese? There’s plenty,”
Shane shook her head, passing the baby over to Carmen, “No thank, Carm’s Mom is still sending us food parcels daily,”
Carmen hit her gently on the arm, frowning,
“Ooh, go on then, maybe just a bit …” said Shane, changing her mind after seeing all the food that was leftover,
“Hello …?” Lara shouted, as she and Dana let themselves in too, moments later, popping by to check on their niece’s injury,
“Hey,” said Bette, smiling as they joined them at the dining table, not bothering to get up this time, “how’s it going?”
“Good,” said Dana, patting Lara’s belly lovingly, “but we came to see Ange …” she added, walking over to hug her niece, “poor Angie … what happened?”
“I fell off my skateboard,” said Angie mournfully,
Lara cooed at her, “Does it hurt?”
“Not much anymore, but it did …” Angie added, wiggling her fingers pathetically,

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.
