Morning broke over Los Angeles to find Helena Peabody dozing lightly, her hand intertwined with Lara’s left hand through the safety rail on her hospital bed. Helena had pushed the second bed close to Lara, where she’d kept vigil throughout the afternoon and long night. Tina came in with coffee and warm cinnamon buns at seven thirty and was about to leave them when Helena woke. She guided them to the open door so that she could keep an eye on Lara while they spoke.
“Did you reach Winnie?” Tina knew that the children were due to arrive that afternoon for a month with Helena.
“She’s headed for Paris after dropping them off and can’t change her plans.”
“Would you like me to pick them up?” Tina offered. “We can come by here before Kathleen gets them settled.”
Helena accepted Tina’s offer with relief. Winnie’s response to the situation had been something less than sympathetic, but she was too tired to decipher her passive aggressive signals. For the time being, all that mattered was that her babies were cared for while she was there for Lara. Sensing Helena’s need to turn her attention back to Lara, Tina stepped out to check her email and make some east coast calls. Helena had just finished moving the bed back to its original location when she noticed that Lara was making distressed noises. It took her a moment to realize that she was having a nightmare.
“Lara, my love,” she leaned in and stroked her forehead. “It’s okay.”
“Helena?” For a moment Lara struggled to remember where she was. When everything came flooding back she was overwhelmed.
“You’re going to be alright,” Helena moved as close as she dared and rested her cheek against Lara’s as she cried. “You are the bravest person I’ve ever known. It’s going to be fine.”
Shane wandered in an hour later carrying a tray of espressos to find Tina clicking away on her laptop.
“Any news?”
“She’s awake and remembers everything. The detectives are coming to take her statement. What brings you here so early?”
“I’ve got an appointment with Dr. Lynch and clients this afternoon so I thought I’d swing by now.”
“Um hm,” Tina knew there was more because she’d relieved Carmen when she arrived, but decided not to ask.

Winnie is Eeeevil. I enjoyed the Bette/Tina get down;) I’m not addicted to your story – Nope! not I.
Winnie the selfish poo, how utterly shallow is she? I’m glad it wasn’t worse for Lara. As for Tina, I think she’s worn Bette’s edge down to a nub, eh? Cheers!
B&T are back yay!
great chapter (as always)! so glad that alice and dana weren’t shocked by shane’s revelation. if any of her friends hadn’t long suspected such a thing then they are idiots. glad that shane finally had the courage to share it with them because that is a hard thing to do. looking forward to the next post.
I didn’t think it was possible, but you’ve outdone yourself yet again. Such great twists and turns in this one, love the development in all the characters. I hope they find whatever scumbag did that to Lara. Can’t wait to read more, this is progressing sooooo well!
It took two to get Lara.She put up a good fight. Winnie is a hard nose bitch. Glad that Shane is getting her life in order. Bette and Tina are so cute thanks
Very intense. I’m feeling more, and more sympathetic towards Lara each new post. You did a wonderful job writing. I loved all of the Danish parts. They are completely adorable, and so supportive. It’s great. The speech was totally hilarious, and totally Alice. Great job. Spot on. I really enjoyed it, and can’t wait to read more.
Winnie was her ususal self, what a freak. Im glad Lara seems to be ok so far. Danish: lovely as always.
So pleased Lara wasn’t rapd, bashd, stabbed etc is bad enough…and I think you may have got me wrong b4, Lara is one of my favourite characters on L Word after Bette actually; Shane disclosed at last so progress can be made; Alice was staunch…great one and the Bette and Tina??? at last!!!!! PPS
Very good part! Love the Danish parts, still find myself wanting more from their story but realise that its Lara and Helena that are important now. The 2 of them and Shane are my other favourites after Danish so it’s all good. Please post soon :)
Great chapter. And what a good start to the weekend! Winnie served a good role in galvanizing the group once again as did Shane’s revelation (as if they could use any more galvanizing factors!). What a great little family our gang is! Thanks for weaving them all together in such a great fashion!
Welcome home indeed.
I just got on board with this fanfic and have gone back and read all chapters to date–what a fantastic way of writing you have! This is a great fic to follow, yay for Danish, and the Lara / Helena pairing is spot on. Deee-lish!
Way to take the edge off Tina…that was hot! Nothing like a tragedy to get your life in focus to help you see what is really important. Like Tina said Welcome Home…thatnks for leting them reconnect. You’re awesome!
I hope that lara can pull though this in one piece please post soon great update
I agree with skycaptain. Way to take the edge off Tina…very, very hot.
PS…. What a shame about Shane and how wonderful Al and Dane were there and will be there for her!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!
Freaking awsome chapter babe!!!! So glad lara wasnt rappeed,LOVED the Danish moments. Tina and Bette was acually hot in this chapter(not a,TiBette shipper sorry) over all awsome chapter!!!! PPP and im out :) PhotoQueen HA
You really understand the layers of all the characters…and this is a great line: “I’m just as afraid of not taking this chance as I am of taking it.”
