“You’re burning,” she said, “you should put some of this on …”
“Thanks …” replied Lottie, checking out her shoulder, it was indeed pink … and a little sore.
The sun grew less intense and the kids grew tired of their games in the pool. Lisa and Tina urged them inside to dry off, wrapping their little bodies in fluffy towels before putting on a DVD and leaving them inside in the warm.
Outside on the deck the adults lay around on the sun-loungers, Tina lay herself in between Bette’s legs, still slightly damp from her earlier dip in the pool.
Shane, Carmen and Alice swam whilst Dana and Lara held Freddie, asleep between them,
“Come in …” said Alice to Lottie, urging her to lose the shorts and get in, rather than just dipping her toes, “come on … it’s gorgeous …”
“I can’t swim …” admitted Lottie.
"You can’t swim?” asked Bette, her ears pricking up the defeated tone in which she said it,
“Nope,” replied Lottie, she paused, desperate for it not to be a big deal … “My Dad is kind of overprotective …” she explained, “I have epilepsy … and he would never let me take lessons.”
Bette frowned,
“I didn’t know you had epilepsy” said Tina, like she thought she should have,
“I wrote it on the form … that you sent me,” said Lottie, making it clear it wasn’t something she hid.
Tina turned back to Bette, she probably had … chances were Tina paid little attention, after reading where she was from she’d focused on little else.
“So you just never learnt?” asked Alice,
Lottie shook her head … “I guess he worried I’d have a seizure and drown …”
Alice thought that through carefully … “But you could fall in the water and drown because you don’t know how to swim …” she pointed out, defying Lottie’s father’s logic.
Bette chuckled … “Alice …” she warned.
The night drew in and Tina shivered, still in her bathing suit with just a towel and Bette’s arms wrapped around her.
“Cold baby?” asked Bette, hoping to plant the idea it might be time for their family gathering to break up. She was tired, still on New York time, and she longed to be alone with Tina … even if all they did was fall asleep together …
Tina nodded.
Shane coughed, getting up from her seat with Freddie asleep in her arms. “We should be going,” she said, “but thanks you guys … this was great … Bette, I’m glad you’re back”
Bette smiled, watching as Shane bent down to help Carmen up and wrapped her free arm around her waist. She pulled Tina closer in to her.
“I’m going too,” said Kit, “Girl … you need a ride?” she asked Lottie,
Lottie shook her head, “No thanks … I have the car …”
“Oh … that’s right,” said Kit, remembering the story from earlier. “Well then,” she said, bending down to hug Bette, “good to have you back baby-sis,”
“Bye Kit,” said Bette, making no move to get up, their family would see themselves out.
Lottie sat by the pool surrounded by the three couples, now wasn’t the time. There was never going to be a good one, but the day had been so nice that she was scared to spoil it. Her mind allowed a memory to form, whatever happened, however Bette reacted she would always have this day.
She dipped one toe in the pool, watching as the ripples reflected in the moonlight, she’d met her … she knew her now … and she liked her …
“We never had your strawberries” remembered Bette, thinking about the delicacies still in the fridge … then she remembered how full she was,
Lottie turned to look at her, that voice … that smile … she longed to tell her …
“Keep them” she said, adding softly “they were for you anyway.”

That was great, and what a nice surprise for Tina and Angelica. Who the heck is Lottie. She can’t be Bette’s daughter, but I know theirs something.
