“Guys … you really didn’t have to get me gifts,”
“Hush,” Alice silenced her, “none of that now,”
“Mine first, mine first …!”
Both Tina and Bette looked at Angie in surprise, sitting there unnoticed with a small package in her lap,
“Yours?” Bette asked surprised,
Angie nodded, “Yes,” she handed over the package to Lottie, who unwrapped it carefully in her lap, opening it out to reveal a small, beautifully decorated box, “we made them in class …” Angie added, a sideways glance towards Jo which suggested she’d also seen this gift before,
Lottie opened it up, finding inside a collection of items from the play, snapshots of the production, the kids building sets, a crisp unopened program, a photograph of the joke they made out of one of the plastic classroom chairs by pinning ‘Director’ across the back of it when Lottie was sat there, she chuckled, “Thanks Angie, it’s great,”
Angie beamed back, satisfied that she pulled something off on her own, well, with only a tiny amount of help from Jo,
“Us next …” said Lara smiling, she reached down picking up a heavy rectangular package, “I remembered you talking about it,” she added, handing it over,
Lottie ripped it open and stared at the front cover of a heavy hardback book authored by Bette’s latest acquisition to the CU, Erin Becker, ‘A Modern History of Art in the Twentieth Century’, despite the dry sounding title it was still something she longed to read, “Thanks,” Lottie mumbled, a little overwhelmed that Lara had paid such close attention, “this is wonderful,”
“Well you raved about her,” Lara continued, turning to Dana who nodded in agreement,
Lottie’s eyes met with Bette’s for the briefest second, wondering if she knew about the book, wondering if she’d ask, wondering if she’d thought since the day they ran into each other eating Thai food at Sripraphai in Venice Beach when she was first dating Jo and Bette was trying to poach Erin whether it was odd that Lottie, a med student, knew who Erin Becker was,
“Thanks,” Lottie whispered again, “it’s really great,”
“Okay,” Kit felt the need to move them along, she reached for her own gift, “now it’s nothing special,” she began, “but this is from me … and the little guy too I suppose,”

I just love sthis tory more and more. after this party how can lottie and jo feel like they don’t belong the “family”. heck that’s what family is all about! i totally love alice’s dvd, perfect!!! :)
ok, i’ve just finished like half a page and i’m already going “aaaahhhh” because the image of carmen in her bikini…*ahem*…*glances down at self* well im glad i match up faaaairly well. *runs back to read more* great so far sweety
oh…umm…that made me melt a little…a lot i suppose…*sheepish*…that was really lovely writing, just really great. my net cut out when i was on page two, but before it did, i thought to myself for the umpteenth time, how much more helena has learned on the actual show from having the ground yanked from beneath her feet than bette seems to have learned, and there are hints of just how much she’s able to really connect with people, in a way that you wouldn’t expect…anyway, you capture that while also having a more fully evolved bette running around and taking naughty baths;) veerrrrry nice tub, though you know, my clawfoot obsession is personally being pushed aside slighty for a ‘giant wooden jacuzi style bath but without the gaudy white or marble’ you know where the hot water makes steam which makes the wood smell all nice and woodsy. mmm…oh dear, this story is just so beautiful, it really is. i’m a bit beside myself *smile* xoxox babe
oh, and you handled the wedding just perfectly. did i mention that? well you did. that was…everything a story should be…a story about that…well you know what i mean…that thing i’ve always called by its first letter and said i’d die before i did…well dammit, you have me melting over it…you have skills storyteller;)
Oh this was such a good update! A little bit of everything and everybody in it. Hahaha…Bette and Tina still going at it after all these years…beautiful. Just waiting for your next update.
Well, sofa, I have to give it to you, you really can tell a story, a complex and neatly woven one at that. You’re also good at fiction in that I think it’s been several decades (if not a century) since Malibu was deserted enough for Shane and Carmen to find a secluded spot on the rocks, which have to be much harder than either surf or sand, so I hope Carmen was the bottom in all their escapades there. She has the padding to handle it, scrawny old Shane would have broken something. And yes, Shane certainly has nipples, but I must say I’ve seen scant evidence the woman ever grew tits, so how *great* can they be? The actress is supposed to be Gwenyth Paltrow’s cousin, but I bet Olive Oyl is Shane’s virgin aunt. Oh yeah, I have to thank you for making such a big deal out of Lottie’s discarded/stolen pants, cause you and me, we’ve got pants history.
Wow, I need your help in planning my parents 50th wedding anniversary. This party went on with out a hitch, except for the missing clothes. By the way where did Shane hide them at? Loved the family time.
I love this story more every chapter! I am so glad that they threw Lottie a birthday party and now she is having the family birthday time. I hope this shows her how much she truly is a part of the family now. I can’t wait to read more!
I was a couple of chapters behind … caught up now. Patience is a virtue so I’m told. Looking forward to your next post. jinjur
I finally caught up! What a great party for Lottie.
so in-love with this story…pps
Hey, Sofa! This was really good! We love how you described the growth that all the ladies have experienced, thru Alice’s DVD. Very enjoyable chappy. Thanks for sharing this fabulous story. PPS – Lucero & Marsha – JC’s Salsa Aunties from Mexico City
brown gravy and onions like on beef steak or roast beef; i don’t eat chicken…
Welcome back. Still great just don’t be gone so long
Hey, Sofa! Have I told you lately that I *fvcking love* this framily, this story? I love the way you present the framily scenes. It’s a joy to see them have fun together and see the love that binds them all regardless of bloodlines. I love the way you give other couples some “screen time”. What a party huh, three out of the five couples managed to sneak out for some *quality alone time*. LOL! And of course, I love all the Bette & Tina stuff: the freaking hot bubble bath and the *lovely* beach wedding. *SIGH* I’d cry buckets too in utter joy if I see that scene play out in S6. I’d blink back tears too as soon as I hear the first notes of “Here, There and Everywhere”… Ahhhh, so sweet. Lastly, I LOL at the mention of Tina’s signature eyeroll and LMAO because the cute, adorable, pesky Angie happened to have inherited it too. :) Thank you, thank you for this update, for this story, Sofa! I hope this “Summer Vacation” will not end anytime soon. PPS :>
Sofa this I think this is the best chapter yet, or maybe not, or mabye but it is right up there. Now I’m going to be greedy and say I can’t wait to here Lottie’s reaction to the party, and the trip and !!!!!!!!! well anyway, more. Can’t get enough. Thank you. Md
That is a family,all the love and fun that they can have and still be one. thanks
What a great mixture of romance,sex, humor, family and the sentimental. Loved it all.
Oh my goodness, I love this story SO much. The video of Bette & Tina’s wedding actually made me get all teary…and all your characters seem so real to me. I can just see the picture of Lottie & Angie dancing in the living room…thanks for yet another incredible installment of this story, hope it keeps going forever!!
Hello Sofa… wow am I late for this party or what… wink… ok… can I join this family… cause well yeah its just perfect… you create such a beautiful picture with this family… even through the flaws there is beauty and acceptance… and I do hope that Bette does ask Lo to stay… I think Bette needs her… just as much as she needs Bette… you are just so perfect at capturing all these different personalities… love it so much… hugs, JC
THAT WAS FUNNY AND HOT!
