Lara rolled her eyes, used to it, “What about you Bette, what have you got?”
Bette sighed, “Nothing yet,”
“Well it’s not very exciting but we’ve got her tickets to see Pink,” said Shane, “or rather Carmen has,”
Dana’s eyes lit up, “I think that’s exciting,”
Bette chuckled, “You never know Dane, play your cards right and she might take you …”
Dana grimaced, “Yeah, yeah, well we got her a book,” she turned unctuously towards Bette, “you’d be impressed actually, Lara remembered this book she was talking about that’s compiled by your friend Erin on twentieth-century installation artists,”
Bette nodded, “It’s a good book,” she paused, “It’s actually on my reading list for next year,”
“So no thoughts then?” said Shane, getting back to Bette,
Bette shook her head slowly, “Nothing …” she took in a deep breath, preparing to tell them all about her morning and then chickened out slightly, opting for the edited version, “I’ve spent the morning going through some stuff hoping I’d get inspired, but still, nothing,”
The others all leant in,
“What stuff?” Lara asked, the question they were all sat thinking,
Bette shrugged, “Letters, photographs, Alice wanted some to embarrass her with but there’s barely any of those, that I have anyway,”
Shane nodded, “It’s a shame really, but look at it this way,” she added, upbeat, “she’s here now and you can make a whole new family photo album if that’s what you want,”
Bette got up suddenly and kissed the top of Shane’s head, “Shane, you’re a genius,”
Shane looked up to the others, surprised, “What … what did I say?”
Bette scooped Che up and away from his toys, to the sound of a little protest, as an afterthought she allowed him to bring along the fire truck,
The others shrugged, thinking Bette had finally gone mad,
“We’ve got to go …” Bette muttered, gathering her things, “got an idea, tell Kit we’ll see her later,”
Then she left, to a sea of bemused faces, Shane glanced over and began helping herself to Bette’s barely touched coffee,
“Baby!” Carmen scolded her in disgust,
Shane held up her arms in protest, “What … she said I’m a genius, what? … the coffee’s my reward!”

HEY! OH NO! huney, you left us with like…thats….thats not even a cliffhanger, thats just…ahhhhhh! wake up baby, post the other chapter!!! ok, ok, sorry, don’t wake up, you need your sleep. but geeez, i wasn’t expecting that one. a fantastic chapter as always sweets, and ya know, i was feeling so warm and fuzzy, even with bette’s emotional worries just at the start, and i was thinking ‘this really weaves it all together, family, community, our interconnections’ and then i hit that ending and now i’m all revved up, in a good way, so its a whole other good kinda story…the cliffhanger variety. i hope the kid’s ok!!!!
Sofa, great stuff. What is going on with Lottie? I hope it isn’t anything too serious. Gotta watch that Anise! Thanks so much for a great chappy! Can’t wait to read the next one.
Sofa, she can’t miss her birthday party after all Alice’s planning! What a great update. You had a lot of stuff packed in those 3 pages. Angie views Lottie like a big sister instead of an Aunt. Have I told you lately that I love this story!
God, I like to get a little twisted every now and again, but even when I was 20 I would not have attempted 9 or 10 anythings, with or without a beer chaser. You wouldn’t need epilepsy to have a fit after that. What was that about it being easy to be brilliant when you’re 20? No doubt, an episode of pure genius. And that Greg is a stalwart in an emergency, fucking sissy, backing away when the going gets tough! Thank god for Molly. I noticed HB’s comments re: the tendency of several characters to overindulge-she would be correct. I suspect Lottie may not be needing a lecture once revived. She may get one anyway, and perhaps from more than Bette alone. Does this mean the party’s off? BTW, I think my arse is an ass. I believe there may be the odd (and I do mean ODD) person out there that think’s I’m an ass.
No, NO, NO! You are killing me! What’s wrong with Lottie????? Bette is going to be PISSED at her grad students.
Not nice to leave us like that my friend lol. Damn this is so good and hope Lottie will be ok, she shouldn’t drink to much alcohol but please let her be ok. Bette gonna kick some ass. Please post more, thanks!
I LOVE LOTTIE; don’t let her be too sick. pps
Love this story. Hope Lottie is ok and i hope Bette doesn’t flip out on her for drinking so much. PPS
Hello Sofa, oh my god whats happening with Lottie, that was quite an ending to leave us on. I’m still loving the layers you create with these characters and their emotions. Bette is such an analytical person she dissects everything to try and make sense of it, and it seems Angelica has taken on this personality quirk. I love how you have created such a nice family dynamic between all these characters, Alice’s worrying, Shane and Carmen, Dana and Lara, everyone is such a staple for their family and Che is just so cute. I love the dynamic you have between Bette and Tina, you can see how they have evolved and yet still hold onto some of their past tendencies. Absolutely Brilliant. Sincerely, JC
pfft…bette and her *own* unquestioned issues with the drinky drink. i shall not say more here, but if she flies off any handles over any more sisters drinking, then i’m going to elaborate. *snicker*
what a place to stop….when is the next post gonna be up????? AHHHHH WAITING FOR UPDATES AFTER CLIFF HANGERS LIKE THIS SUCKS!!!!!
Oh no Sofa, I’m with your honey there, wake up and tell us what happened to Lottie, I think I’m going to be a while before I find out whats going on in Bettes head about the mother thing. Thanks for the post. Md
Is Bette going to fry Greg’s ass to a crisp, like a slab of bacon in a cast iron skillet? Damn, 10 shots of Sambuca is enough to give anyone a seizure… even if they don’t have a medical condition.
OMG, OMG…..I don’t remember anything about Meds!!! What the heck is going on….This is not the way to bring in a birthday!!! PPS
The meds were to stop seizures. What a way to spend your birthday, sick from drinking to much and now for Lottie having a seizure. I know that Bette will fly to the hospital to check on her sister and then will be really angery with her grad students for getting her sister (a minor) drunk.
Drinking when one has epilepsy is not good! she had way too much to drink and she forgot her meds. greg better start running NOW… the one thing i love about this story isn’t so oddly wild. in fact it’s just everyday life… i9 enjoy how the characters are being written, no one is prefect each ash their flaws and yet all are accepted regardless.heck what more can you ask for.
