Jo sighed, “Uh huh?”
“What’s up?”
Further silence,
“I thought you would have called,” Jo began, feeling once she’d started that she was being ridiculous, “Angie falls and breaks her arm and you’re there and you didn’t call to tell me, Angie expected that I would have known,”
Lottie let the statement register.
They’d gone from Wax straight to the hospital and from the hospital straight to Bette and Tina’s. She’d thought about ringing her a million times throughout the evening but there was always something else going on or the phone was too busy trying to track down the more elusive members of the family,
Then after dinner, she and Bette had spoken with Kit; Kit cried, Bette cried and Lottie fought hard not to, because the grief right then was really theirs. She read a story to Angie with the ‘supposed’ help of Alice and Helena who took it upon themselves to act out the characters and generally be goofs. Several hours and several bottles of wine later they all piled into Lara’s car and she drove them home,
Everywhere in there was a plan to call Jo, it just never happened. Getting back home, without Alice present for once then sparked a conversation with Helena on that very subject,
“You and Alice seem close,” remarked Lottie innocently, as she shoved the leftover cake Kit had brought with her from The Planet into the fridge, saving some for the kids tomorrow,
Wilson and Li were both sound asleep in bed but Helena still glanced around, searching for someone who might be listening in,
She shrugged, “We’ve always been close,”
Lottie smiled slowly, stepping closer to Helena so that she couldn’t escape, “I meant ‘close’ … close,” she added, with a knowing look,
Helena grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and began to walk away through the house, “You … are a lot like your sister!” she called out,
Lottie followed her, catching up with her out on the patio overlooking the pool, Helena’s beachside home was beautiful, and every once in a while Lottie found herself feeling incredibly lucky to have landed on her feet as well as she did,
She stayed quiet, waiting for Helena to expand on her last comment,

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
