Summer Vacation. Chapter 48
“Need any help?” Carmen asked. She’d left Shane and Bette playing an odd version of volleyball with Angie over three sides of the pool, with the understanding that whoever missed it first was required to jump in. With Freddie on her hip since they’d just been and picked him up, Carmen sought the shade of inside and wondered how Tina was doing.
“Oh no … I’m fine.” Tina sighed, assuming Bette was lost for good. She accepted Carmen’s trade and took Freddie as Carmen took charge of the stove.
“So how does Bette feel about Jenny being back?” Carmen asked.
Tina smirked, “Well I still think she feels a little guilty for being the one who slipped the news of Helena and Mandy to Jenny in the first place.”
“She shouldn’t worry about that.” Carmen added, “Let’s face it, Jenny just has ways of finding things out.”
“I thought she’d have changed.” Tina continued wistfully, “I thought New York would have changed her, made her more self-sufficient or something.”
“How does Helena feel about her being back?”
“Oh you know Helena.” Tina replied, “She’s unruffled as always, besides, she and Alice are happier than ever.”
“They are.” Carmen agreed, “Who’d have thought it?”
Tina shrugged, “I think it’s great, I think they’ve always been perfect for each other they were both just too stubborn to realise it.”
Carmen quietly nodded, for it was a strange thing when two long time friends suddenly became something so much more, yet Tina was right, the only question it raised was why they never got around to it sooner.
“And how are you little man?” Tina asked Freddie, tickling his chin as she bounced him up and down on her hip.
Freddie simply gurgled and came up with a mighty spit bubble.
“You don’t ever think about having another one?” Carmen asked, concentrating on flipping the pancakes so they wouldn’t burn.
Behind her, Tina considered the question carefully, they had always talked about having another child but then she went back to school and there never seemed to be a good time. Angie grew and before they knew it life was settled just the three of them. It was only in the last year or so since Carmen announced she was pregnant with Freddie and then Lara announcing her own just a few months before had Tina started to think seriously about whether it might still be a possibility.

I love everything you write, and I’m very late to this story, but I’ve really enjoyed catching up. I hope this story goes on forever, thank you for continuing to write it! Love that Tina and Bette are going to try for another baby.
I love this but ‘eh??? can u really get that drunk that u don’t know if u’ve done the dirty deed or not??? I can’t drink more than 3 glasses without suffering alcoholic poisoning so my question is real. Jenny is such a user. Get Helena and Bette to kick her sad arse outa town!!! Thx for the update.
yeah, nice about the baby coming up.
Sorry I haven’t commented. I read on my Blackberry and it doesn’t let me log in. I love how your chapters mix seriousness and the funny, often simultaneously for the same characters. The undercurrent of each person’s history adds depth to each story arc. I also love the (struggling here for words) depiction of couples at various points in relationships, not dismissing, making assumptions, or judging any of them. There is rekindled love, new love, new family love, starting family love and, of course, long-term love. It is a treat to read each chapter. Thank you.
You know, it’s a myth that people forget what they have done while in a state of drunken stupor. I’ve had too much brandy and tequila a few times before but I did remember every embarrassing act I and my drinking buddies have committed during the session. You lose control and inhibition, so you tend to do foolish things that you’d wish to bury in your memory the following day. Anyway, I think Lottie and Jenny fooled around a bit that’s why Lottie had selective temporary amnesia. The princess of darkness spells trouble for the framily. I heart your loved-up version of Bette & Tina and I enjoyed their poolside conversation, kissing and decision to have another baby. *Thank you, sofa!* :>
LOL! myth or otherwise, I feel duty bound to reveal that i can count on the fingers of more than one hand the number of times I’ve drunk enough to *forget* it all the next day. Ok, so one time I had concussion, one time I drank absinthe from Paris and one time I got into a vodka shooters match with a 6ft 3inch tall ginger haired guy and lost. I can’t really recall the offending insults the other times but I can assure you. It does happen kids :P
Oh thank goodness the princess of the dark did not deflower the younger sister of Bette. At least now, Lottie can breath again and get her self together. First thing she needs to do is let Kit know that it was just poker and not the other.
…also, I have to agree with helebette, your characters are all so damn likeable! I don’t hate Jenny nearly as much as usual, which is definitely an accomplishment. And I just wanna be best friends with all the others…
you know Jenny just can’t help writing bad things, so I am sure some disastrous version of untruth is going to be printed about Lottie. I am VERY glad to see Lottie did not have sex with Jenny.
Thank GOD she didn’t sleep with that creep Jenny. I also love that B&T are talking about having another baby, and NO Jenny can’t go to Paris with the gang. Thanks for the updae, PPS :o).
That was fun and thanks god Lottie didn’t have sex with jenny. Please post more, thanks!
awww, this story is so so so worth losing sleep over. i’m going to go give you a cuddle now, for posting it at such insane hours. it keeps getting more interesting with each chapter and i must say, i hate jenny *less* with your telling…i think you’ve written her with much more compassion than i could have, and i think she makes a really interesting addition to the story. helena and alice should get it on again soon, they’re a good pairing the way you write it. xo babe, excellent work
Oh goody,Sofa is back with an update, and it was wonderful as always. Poor Lottie, that is an awful feeling not knowing what happened after consumming to much. I truly enjoyed reading every word but did you have to go 11 pages before the answer came out? Do you think that maybe Alice’s condo can have a power serge or somthing to make all Jennys writing disapear? Waiting paciently for the next update while your doing “better things”. Thank you, Md
awesome update bette and tina gonna try for baby number 2…jenny and lottie played poker, but i wonder what jenny is writing about lottie!more drama! :)PPS
What a coincidence! I just happened to be wearing my David Bowie t-shirt AND my Ramones underpants while reading this! I think I might have gone with Patti Smith on a Sunday morning, but Wilson has the exuberance of adolescence. Anyway, very good to see you post (If that HB person is in fact close enough to give you a cuddle, YOU are close enough to give her yet another kick to do the same). But I thought this chapter was ready long ago-can’t steal enough bandwidth to post more often? Very glad that Lottie didn’t actually go there with La Jenny, but I’m sure the Mistress of Darkness will have enough fodder from the experience to bring yet more misery to the lives of her (cannibalized) “friends”. Steal more bandwidth soon.
Thanks for the update sofa. Will Jenny hide in the luggage and accompany everyone to Paris?
have i mentioned that you’re my favorite writer? xoxoxoxox
Oh THANK GOD there was no Lottie/Jenny action…I think I would’ve thrown up a little :PAlice & Helena are too cute, and I can really see them…and of course I love bette & tina, and would love them to have another kid (though they’d have to be on equal terms, of course, not like the first time round…)
