Five weeks and two days after Angelica’s birth
Tina Kennard’s communication skills were progressing slowly, but steadily. The steps she had made were textbook in every way. For the first couple of days after coming out of the coma, Tina had merely blinked her eyes to communicate. Occasionally, she would say a particular syllable to identify people and objects. ‘Beh’ was Bette, ‘Aaang’ was Angelica, ‘baht’ meant baby bottle, ‘Sheh-eh nee’ was Tina’s way of saying Stephanie. She seemed to know Kit and Shane and could say their names fairly well. She recognized Helena, but hadn’t attempted to call her by name and Tina had clearly said ‘Caw’ for Carmen. For some inexplicable reason, whenever Dana came to visit, Tina would cry, shake her head repeatedly, and moan the word ‘no.’
Bette faithfully visited with Tina in the morning and then returned early in the evening to chat about her day, Tina’s improvement, and all of the things Angelica had done or discovered.
An hour or so before dinner, Bette would flip through her folder of takeaway/delivery restaurants and order something for her meal. She, Tina, and Angelica ate dinner together, Tina having whatever they were serving at the Center and Bette eating veal parmigiana from Marco’s, Pad Thai from Sammy’s Thai Barbecue, Moo Shu from Mandarette, or whatever Kit dropped off for her. Tina sat up in bed with her tray close to her. Bette fed her the soft foods that were easy for her to swallow, and then she’d take a bite of her dinner. This was their quiet time. All of Tina’s visitors had come and gone and she was finished with all of her rehab and tests except for her EEG.
At the end of the day, Bette would head home with Dr. McPherson’s five page report on Tina’s progress and the next phase of treatment.
This particular early evening, Bette walked into Tina’s room at the Center pushing Angelica in the stroller. They weren’t dressed alike, but Bette and Angelica were coordinated. Bette was wearing beige DKNY stretch twill pants and jacket with a black top that had dozens of jade green and tan polka dots on it. Angelica had on a khaki-colored onesie with green dots. Tina’s nurse smiled at them when they entered. “Don’t you two look cute?”

I was just thinking about you the other day. Great post. Love the attention to detail. Can you please send Stephanie home? She is pure evil. Did Carmen really think her old girlfriend was gone? Seems a little suspicious. Loved it. Thanks for posting.
wow, that was long. More soon please :)
Love this Carman and Shane did Carman do this for a reason? Who knows Alice and Dana they will make it. Tina will,and so will Bette even more so now Send Tina sister home she is a trouble maker. thanks
Wonderful update!! Am I alone in wishing Stephanie would get hit by a bus?!
Your dialogue, your transitions, your sustained excellence over many pages, over many suceeding chapters, you incorporated everything that a reader could want in a good piece of fan fiction. Thank you.
Thank you for all the time and effort your putting into this fine series. PortiaO, you are truly weaving some magical moments out of the dross that was season 3, bravo!
simply speachless… girl that was great!!
Terrific. You do a magnificent and creative job of weaving together the events of S3 and making them make sense. Thank you!
I’m like to re-read stories at random points and random chapters, an I absolutely LOVE doing that with this story. Four years later and I still love reading his chapter (and the other 4 or 5 that I re-read last night). I don’t know if you’ll ever read his comment, but I thought I’d write it anyway because every chapter is timeless.
You are a great storyteller. You have all of the characters down. This feels like an episode of The L Word. Hope to read more of this excellent story soon. Thanks for writing.
God, I love this story. I was just thinking about when you were going to post again, and here you are! And 19 pages to boot! You write so well, with such realisitic detail, it’s like watching the show. Please continue. :)
Stephanie needs to be taken out hung by her breast. She is so evil by trying to take Tina away from the one who lovers her unconditionally. She spouts morality to everybody and anybody who will listen. She disagrees with Bette and Angelica. Yet she goes off with the good doctor when she is due to get married soon. At least there is Tina’s mother who is on Bette’s side. I love the converstion that Bette has with her father. I fear when and if Bette heads for the retreat that things will take a turn for the worst. Please don’t let Tina move away from Bette. They both need each other and so does Angelica.
wow Shane and Carmen really did got nasty.. and how! I loved it!
Great work, I hope that Stephine just paints herself into a corner and Tina wake up and smells the roses or her true stench for what it is. Please let Tina tell the doctor what those drugs are doing to her, and Bette little visit frome Melvin help keeps her on the straight path for her and her family :o)
