Lottie looked up sheepishly, “My dad,”
“Answer it?”
She shook her head, now wasn’t the time,
Tina rubbed her shoulder gently, “Look,” she paused, taking a deep breath, “things like this are never easy, but I can promise you one thing, avoiding conversations usually makes it seem a whole lot worse than it is,”
“So you think I should tell him?” Lottie asked,
Tina shrugged, “Actually, I meant Jo, but still, that’s not exactly what I said, you could try just telling him about Bette and I,” she suggested,
Lottie nodded, “I guess,” she glanced at her watch again, “I should be going,”
“Do you want me to talk to Bette for you?”
The question was simple, and yet it left Lottie thinking for several minutes. Tina sat patiently waiting for her response,
“I …”
Tina knew what she was thinking, if ‘she’ talked to Bette then it sidestepped the issue of Lottie discussing her sexuality with her father altogether, because they both knew Bette would have something serious to say about it.
“I …”
Tina smiled, “I won’t say anything about it, yet … okay?”

“Lunch was weird,” said Alice flatly, after everyone but Che had left the table.
Kit and Lara went back to work, Dana to training, Carmen and Shane left with Freddie in the middle of what looked like the ongoing debate over the interference of Carmen’s mother. Bette left carrying the pile of grant proposals she’d walked in with, stating that she would be spending the afternoon trying to figure out how to salvage her budget.
“Why?”
Helena looked at her strangely, their closeness growing unsettling, as if it had reached its peak and now they were unsure not only as to how ‘they’ both felt but as to how much the others knew and indeed what they all felt about it.
“Didn’t you think someone was going to say something?”
Helena shrugged,
“I mean,” Alice continued, “since when did that lot ever let something like ‘this’ slide?”
Helena nodded, “Something like ‘this’?” she repeated,
Alice shrugged, avoiding giving an answer by focusing her attention on Che and the sticky mess he was in,
Helena leant forwards, “Al,”
Alice blushed, “What …? what do you want me to say?”

hey, i’m first! *squeals with delight* that was great hun, super duper great. i was kinda enthralled…so much so that i have neglected my work for half an hour, re-reading your story twice. ok, so helena and alice..very subtle which made it all the more yummy…i like them together, and its good to go into that “why start, we got hurt once before, blahblah” angst that everyone goes through. people avoid shit cuz of those convos and i say ‘hooey!’ so i’m glad they’re going there! and jo and lottie…lottie should call the girl. i like that you’re going into that as well–those communication subtleties that are layered and different among women…we can all play those parts, we can all be emotionally clueless…the best is when the group jumps on lottie about that. i cracked up. i also cracked up at dana’s preggers breast fetish…hilarious…keep up the story, i furkin’ love it:) xo, pps, when you get some time off work darlin’
Very nice! I really liked that lunchtime round table discussion. Re: Jo, As hb said, Lottie needs to just pick up the phone. Al + Hels, I still like! And I wonder what trouble is coming from Mr. Lottie’s Dad. (can’t remember their last name?) Glad you had the time to post, more when you can, sofa, ta!
YAY YOU’RE BACK AND I HOPE YOUR PRESENCE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A REGULAR ONE!!! I had forgotten about this story, however now I am truly happy to be reminded about it once again. Lottie’s dad..hmm drama to come I feel the winds changing. Jo and Lottie have gotta to make up, with both of them meeting half way, cause as I see it neither of them is wrong. NC17 with Al and H to come, (prefer NC17’s with B & T any day though). I love how Tina comes in and reprimands them from there fights and such, its cute. PPRS!!!!!
I can’t wait to see how Lottie’s father behaves. It seems like so much of her life is clothed in mystery. PPS!
Well this chapter surely had Lottie at the center of a lot of drama. Entertaining all around. Love the scene at the planet as they all ganged up on Lottie. Can’t wait to see Lottie’s dad’s reaction to her new life.
Yeah, Lottie’s avoidance lost her her chance to have some control over her situation (with her father and Jo) and now the shit is hitting the fan at the same time as her father is knocking on the door. It remains to be seen if his presence will be as traumatic as Lottie feared. Also remains to be seen if Jo or Lottie will step up to the plate (an Americanism) in regards to their issue(s). I like to use parentheses and you like asteriks. To each his (or her) own.
oooo! This should be good! I am thoroughly enjoying your story, especially the new characters you have created! One request: Can you write a scene with Sharmen? Post soon!
Hey there Sofa! Brilliant chapter. Always love the group scenes… can just imagine Dana drooling over the baby breasts! Your dialogue is so much better than what the show provides. Interested to see the fallout over the arrival of Lottie’s father… I sense drama in the works. By the way, if it’s positive reinforcement you desire, I am only too obliged to beg for chapters!!
Me too Sofa, I’ll beg, I love this story, you just suck up into being one of the family. Thanks good job, can’t wait for next chappy, please do so soon, there is weekend coming up. Md
Perfect!!!!! Great!!!!! and the cliffhanger!!!!! u better hurry up and post the follow up….
So Lottie’s dad has graced his daughter’s life. I hope that he will not freak out while in Bette and Tina’s home. When he sees Bette will he see her mother in her as he see her in Lottie? I love Alice and Helena together. Besides Bette and Tina I would like to see those two together in the upcoming season.
That was awesome!
Sofa your story and storytelling just gets better and better. I love the subtle parallels between Lottie and Bette, they are sisters afterall, right?! You have the dynamics of these characters down so well that the dialog and their interactions, their quirks (pregnant breasts?! LOL) come totally to life on the page. i hope you never get tired of giving us your version of the girls, I don’t know if I’d survive!! LOL. PPS
