Summer Vacation. Chapter 49
“Nothing.” Bette smiled. “Nothing unless you count feeling like I’m about a hundred around those two sometimes.
Tina chuckled. “Comes with the territory I think.”
Bette grabbed her round the waist as she passed and Tina stalled, letting Bette pull her in and hold her there gently, the tray of salads and bread held delicately in one hand as she waited for Bette to be done saying what it is she wanted to say.
“Do you think having another one will make us feel younger, or even older still?” Bette asked, consumed ever so slightly with anxieties about being an older parent since Tina reproduced the idea.
Tina smirked and turned her face to kiss Bette’s cheek softly. “You know you’re only as old as the woman you feel?”
“Oh no …” Bette burst out laughing, “corny line alert.”
Tina set the tray down on the side table and wrapped her arms around Bette’s waist. “You realise if we have another baby then in ten years time he or she will be flouncing around here dramatically telling us that we’re both totally un-cool.”
“And Angie will be their ‘super-cool’ older sister.” Bette added in.
Tina nodded. “Lottie’ll probably have her own family by then.” She paused, looking off into the future for a moment. “And she’ll be coming to us for parenting advice.”
“Or babysitting duties.” Bette interjected.
Tina leant back in her arms, gazing up slightly in awe of how relaxed Bette appeared about a whole lot of things these days. “And we’ll give in, and accept that no matter how old we all, each of us get Angie will probably always think Lottie is cooler than either of her Moms.”
“Which is the way it should be.” Bette realised, as Tina simply nodded and let her head fall forwards to rest in the nape of Bette’s neck.
“Are we like, eating today or not?” Angie asked, stood with her hands on her hips in the doorway as she stared at the ‘close’ moment between her moms like it were a deep inconvenience.
Bette looked over Tina’s shoulder and grinned. “Not.”
Angie huffed and rolled her eyes, “Yeah right Mom, so lame …!”
They split apart and Bette picked up the tray Tina was previously carrying. Tina followed her out of the door laughing, “Yeah babe … so lame!”

There’s some sort of self-possessed multiplication thing going on with the pages … it’s spooky :o
The way you ended this chapter, I’m, uhm, speechless. :-) Li and Lottie were so cute with their awkward period conversation. Family in all its various permutations, loving this story as ever. Thank you, sofasitter!
Wow that was quite the update! Can’t wait for Paris. : )
Another epic chapter, Ms. sofa. Don’t tell me you don’t covet my Ramones panties! Actually, they are imaginary and I would suspect that no matter what one’s gender and orientation might be, little could be more repellent than Joey Ramone’s face on one’s partner’s crotch. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-that man was uuuuuuugly. Your description of Lottie’s grilling reminded me of my mother’s famous “dryburgers”. My old school father insisted that all meat be cooked to a dry, tough, tasteless state of varying shades of gray. Yum! So the geezers make sparks with glass and might even make a baby. Alice and Helena make it official. (I would have thought Helena would have better security than to let Wilson sneak in and out at will.) And with Lottie’s cocoon of first love opened by Jo’s departure gets to wonder in a new way about relationships. Meanwhile Li and Ang wait in the wings, observers for now.
great to see your post. I do look forward to more.
Trust Bette & Tina to come up with their own twist on how to achieve a sense of tranquility and wellbeing through physical, cardiovascular and VOCAL exercises. *grinning stupidly* That’s one hot yoga session, sofa! Bette even did an advanced leg lift somewhere. LOL! Can’t wait for the Paris chapter(s?). I call it the Oohaa City because you’d go “oooh” or/and “aaah” at almost every turn. Bette, Lottie and Angie would bask in the art works there everywhere. Will Jenny join the trip? I feel kinda sorry for her because she’s the lone single in the group. Maybe you can pair her with someone else, but not Max please. As for your rebuttal on the “myth”, I stand by my vivid recollections of my few trips to Drunkenville. But I understand Lottie’s blurriness. If I accidentally slept or fooled around with someone else just hours after my significant other’s flight, I’d plead alcohol-induced amnesia too. Huge thanks, sofa! :>
Dang that was not in Bette and Tina terms. Hot, sexy and steamy those two. Alice is still a hoot with her defination
Dang it, my computer is acting up or maybe it is my server. Whatever I was in the middle of my comment and then all of sudden it was in cyberspace. Alice is a hoot.
zomg sofa, when do we get another installment? This one is absolutely fantastic…and HOT like whoa…and now I miss ’em all and want to hear more!!
wow…that was super hot…and it even had tina involved and i *still* thought it was hot! that takes mad skills babe, which you have in abundance. as i sit here and you write away, tap tap tapping all that brilliance onto your jet-black space-age million dollar micro-laptop, i am sort of daydreaming about your first book signing and how i might get free espressos as the grrrrlfriend of the brilliant author. i look forward to that day, but for serious! because you’re uber-brilliant. i like how each chapter is just a really really good story and i want to read more no matter how little interest i have in the actual show! this should *be* the show, i’ve said that before, but i defo think that IC should hit you up to write a never-ending ‘summer vacation’ version of the L word. ok, i’ll stop embarassing you now, but you deserve all the gushing love. xoxoxox and pps;)
YOGA FIGURE 69, WELL DONE. lOVE THE STORY. Glad u r reading IF IT WASN’T. Its supposed to be a short story…a diversion for ONLY U and MELTDOWN really because I can’t bear to bring them closer to the end, I have a problem with endings!! pps
As I have said many times before I just LOVE this story. I was reading Greentea’s story which has extensive info about yoga but didn’t mention 69 at all lol good learn sumthin new:)PPS
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMM, Sofa, I would have had one of those nice little family comments to make back on pg. 11 but not I think I’m just a llttle to flustered. Ok, going to look for a yoga partner. Thank you, Md
See… that was hot. So hot that I’m feeling all goofy now. I’m sure I had something witty to say about Al and Hels but that’s all gone now. I’ll maybe remember it at some later point, and it really won’t have been that witty at all. I really can’t wait til they all get to Paris. Great chapter, thanks for the update, sofa. cheers!
Yoga, rofl alice is too much. love the li and lottie chat,lol..kit is so funny calling bette on her lets make a baby look,lol… fantastic update!! :)PPS
