Carmen smiled soothingly, “Baby, she’s just trying to help,”
“Yeah, by reminding me that I’m not capable of looking after either one of you,” Shane added, sulking,
“I’m sure it’s not that,” said Lara, trying her hand at peacemaking, “I’m sure she’s just being a typical granny and wanting to do as much as she can,”
It had the desired effect and Shane went back to sulking silently, although Lottie suspected that was one conversation that wasn’t really over,
“Is your dad going to want to meet Jo?” Alice asked, picking up the conversation from before,
“Where is Jo?” Helena added,
“They’re having a fight,” Tina offered, half amused at the look of horror on Lottie’s face as she joined in,
“What?” Alice and Helena both turned to her simultaneously,
Lottie frowned, hiding her smile at their comical comments in unison, “I don’t know …” she replied calmly, “she called this morning and we ended up in some stupid argument,”
“What about?” Bette asked,
Lottie shrugged, “Hell if I know,”
“Been there …” said Shane quietly, earning her a less than subtle glare from Carmen,
“What do you mean ‘you don’t know’?” Helena persisted, “she must have said something?”
Lottie rubbed her forehead impatiently, “She rang about Angie …” she began quietly, not really wanting to go back down the route of the night before since Kit seemed barely over it, “she was annoyed that I hadn’t called her,”
Her answer seemed to fall upon deaf ears, and tumbleweed rolled past as Lottie waited for one of them to speak,
“Why didn’t you call her?” Bette asked, breaking the silence,
Lottie shrugged, “I don’t know,” she paused, feeling defensive, “maybe because there were other things going on,”
None of them could argue with her about it, they’d all been there, they’d all sat by and watched as Bette dealt with Kit’s emotions over Angie’s accident, opening up to the realisation that she was still only barely coming to terms with losing David. There were other things too, Helena could not disagree with her, knowing how they’d spent the remainder of the evening back at their house talking about Alice. Alice suspected that if she questioned any further then that very subject would crop up. Shane and Carmen both stayed silent, wanting to avoid rehashing their own argument which had begun as Carmen learnt that Shane left their baby with Kenny and Tom and ended later that same evening with Shane’s frustration at the constant invasions by Carmen’s Mom. Lara and Dana were too busy with themselves to notice and Kit kept quiet, knowing that she was the primary reason Lottie was too preoccupied to call her girlfriend. Only Tina seemed unsatisfied with Lottie’s explanation,

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
