“Why the fuck were we watching porn, anyway? I don’t even like it. It objectifies women, it’s stupid, fake, and. . .and-and just look at the mess we’re in because of it.” Dana was seated on the side of the bed. She was showered and dressed in white shorts and an aqua and white striped, polo style, Nike tennis shirt. She was bent over, her face in her hands, and Alice, wearing an oversized Donald Duck t-shirt sat beside her patting her back and telling her that things were okay. “Alice, why did you even introduce that into the mix? We were good without that. What are we watching pornography for?”
“You can’t blame me. You’re the one who suggested we slip in a DVD.”
“I’d never even heard of porno rental.” Dana complained, “God, why can’t you just be normal?”
“I’m normal,” Alice whispered defensively. “It’s not a big deal.”
“How can you say that? Fuck. Lindsay’s down there, probably laughing or worse totally disgusted by me.”
“She seems cool, Dane.”
Dana stood up and paced while Alice followed behind her. “Fuck, fuck, fuck. I mean, could we have gotten any louder?”
Alice laughed. “I don’t think so.”
Dana whirled around and looked at her with her arms crossed over her chest. “It is so not funny.”
Alice looked at the dark blue-black circles under Dana’s eyes. “Honey, you haven’t had any sleep. You won’t be able to play this afternoon.”
“I’ll sleep in the van,” Dana answered without much inflection.
“Down by the river, eating a steady diet of government cheese,” Alice quipped, trying to lighten the sullen mood in the room by imitating one of Chris Farley’s Saturday Night Live characters.
“You’re really not funny, Al.”
Outside, a horn blew. “It was kinda funny.”
Dana walked to the window and looked out onto the street. “The fucking van is here. We’ve got four other players to pick up and then the drive to Palm Springs. Great. I am not going to be able to deal.”
“Your condo’s big, Dana. She was asleep. You’re worried about nada.”
“Yeah, well how do I know that?”

Oh my God, that was one hell of chapter. Great, absolutely fantastic. I hope Bette win’s the case, but sad to hear what happened to Stephanie. She needs help. Hopefully Theresa and Tina along with Bette and Peter will help her move on from that. Mayeb they can be a happy family in the end. Love the story and the length of it. it’s like a little book. :) Please post soon
Whoa, that took a while and I’ll keep this short(ish) cos I’ve got to get up for work tomorrow, but that was just action-packed, and fantastic. Great chapter Portia, I loved it. And I’m gonna take a wild guess at how many pages in word this is up to… ummm… 638? That’s a random number for you. I’m thoroughly enjoying this, and when the chapters have this much in them, I’ll always be eagerly anticipating the next. Cheers!
What a splendid job! The court scene is extraordinary! Now we finally know why Steph is so extreme. I feel sorry for her, but it doesn’t mean she could mess with her sister’s life. She should have been more caring and loving to her sister. I guess that’s jealousy and hatred from her own miserable. sigh…
Amazingly Incredible! I slowly read and thoroughly enjoy each and every pages for the last hour. You’ve taken us on every low and high each character was facing but also tactfully add levity where needed to disperse the intensity of the court scenes. Superb!
what an emotional chapter…i can’t feel sorry for steph though…this kind of thing happened to others but it’s no excuse to make tina and bette’s life miserable, but i do understand why she harbors hatred and anger…i wish i can say, poor steph but she’s still too evil in my eyes…hopefully this experience will change her and bring peace to all kennards…i also hope that tina will get better soon, she and bette need each other, i only wonder how tina will explain all the hateful emails if bette will bring it up to her….sharmen is hot btw
Thank you, Portia. You’ve really pulled out all the stops for us in your ‘rebuild’ of S3. Its amazing.
Wow! This took a really long minute to read but I loved every single minute of it! Damn! Her own father raped her?!!? No wonder Stephanie is messed up! I guess it it’s good that Theresa took the stand otherwise she probaly would not have known about it. It’s sad that it had to come out this way. Outstanding chapter Portia! You are phenomonal! BTW-Who else was screaming for Bette to shut the fuck up?lol
Wow. I started reading, planning to break it up into pieces, then I couldn’t stop. I read the whole 35 pages in one setting! I never, never would have anticipated what Stephanie revealed, but it helps explain how she became twisted at the end of high school. I’m so sorry for her. Portia, you have me in your power and at your will. Your writing compels me to sit in this chair at this computer for an hour and a half to read this work. Yes, this is like a book, a novel, multifaceted, multicharactered (is that a word?). If you write it, I will come and read. Every word. Thank you.
Hey, Portia, this chapter was excellent!
Well well, again I’m speachless. When your done we need to print this out and send it to Ms IC, and tell her this is how you write a good triumphant (hopefully) lovestory. A little drama, a little suspense, a few cliffhangers, lots of steamy hot lov’n…this equals a wonderfully written, and thoughtout story. Thankyou just doesn’t quite seem enough to say to you Portia…but it’s all I have, Thank you!!
That was really good! Dana needs to stop being such a f-ing bitch to Alice! Yes Alice is neurotic but only because Dana is acting like she’s 14 years old. Ok thats my vent over lol, post soon xx
Dang girl, that was explosive. I liked Lauren25’s comment about all of them becoming a family and that includes Stephanie. But if not, Bette should be allowed to continue to look after Tina. Tina needs Bette and so does Angelica. But most of all Bette needs Tina and Angelica.
just read this and it was awesome. thanks for all of the time and effort!
This story is fucking amazing. Your writing is incredible, so layered, detailed. What a pleasure to read. The time and effort and soul that you put into this story is so apparent. I tried to read it in parts but felt compelled to read it all in one sitting. You should definitely win major awards for this work. The courtroom dialogue was brilliant. Brava!
Great chapter. I’m always so excited to see a post from you. No wonder Stephanie is so filled with anger, incest and rape does lasting damage. I hope her confession will open family communication lines. Dana needs to totally chill out cause she can’t be a willing participant and then blame Alice for everything. More B&T next time K? Triple love this story! Thank you Portia.
AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW i really want the outcome of the courtcase soon please
Wow – what an epic! Such strong emotions. Wonderful storytelling. I’m so enthralled by this story that I can’t wait for the next instalment, which seems entirely unreasonable since you’ve given us so much already. I have this sneaking feeling that the next person on the witness stand is going to be Tina (didn’t she ask her helper to do her a favour?). Anyway, thank you for such a rivetting story.
wow, great work, great story, Thank You
I know you might think me heartless. I feel no pity for Stephanie, none what so ever. Even though I can imagine the psychological impact of the rape on her psyche and being, it still does not and should not get her a get out of jail free card for her behaviour towards her mother and ailing sister. I can imagine that a part of her hates Tina in the sense that one would wonder why me and not her. Stephanie will have to step up and become something different for me to sympathize. Alice has codependancy issues and, fucked up for her, Dana isn’t strong enough to deal. Why is Dylan putting up with the prick, can’t imagine that she takes all that shit with regular beatings on the side. Helena to the rescue please even if she’s more likely to suffocate with love instead of sooth since her motto is throw money and it everything will be fine. Anyways excellent installment, thanks.
Forgot one more thing. Dana needs to chill the f-out, it’s not that serious if she was heard having sex. Alice also needs to chill because she does not have a strong enough girl to deal with her borderline obession like qualities.
Wow…first thank you so much for posting. This was something else girl…I was gonna break it up to cause I was sleepy…I’m wide awake now. Stephanie better be telling the truth this better not be some made up ish. This is some good writing. I do feel for her but that dosen’t excuse all the pain she put Bette thru….and it dosen’t make her stable to be someone’s medical power of attorney either. I don’t mean no harm but if I was Bette I would be so hurt by all those e-mails Tina sent….so much bitterness. If only she had communicated with Bette on how she felt instead of feeding all this to Stephanie, someone who was totally against their relationship in the first place. That is a betrayal in itself. I mean everyone look at your partners can you imagine if that happened to us? Every argument…every negative thing about our relationship everything said in deep anger and sarcasm….wow. Bette is basically fighting for Tina’s life and to know she felt this way…I felt her pain. You did good Portia…wow. So we should look for you around this time next month?…lol. Keep posting.
That was LOADED & I loved it! PPS
i don’t know how i’ve never read this story till now… it’s brilliant!a cardigan song was in one of the chapters. as shane’s ring tone for carmen… what song was that. i thought i knew what it was but i didn’t and it’s driving me nutsi really hope it’s this story too… or else i’d be terribly embarassed. i’ve just been catching up on random stories all day. haha. yay for days off work.but yea.. this story’s insane. in the greatest possible.
Another excellent installment of your epic, Portia. Stephanie’s revelation really helps explain her present character and how the two sisters could be so different. I was sweating though, when Bette lost it there in court.Dana’s piece really captured her character’s paranoia and insecurities and comedy perfectly. Great story, thank you.
The girl needs help. Hopefully this gives Bette and Tina a higher ground to stand on – Steph’s instability! Charge on Sister-fren! Enjoying every minute! Thank You. Just don’t wait so long to post next time – your fans are chomping at the bit!!!! Hungry and ravished!
Fantastic!!!!!It took me three days to read this. I’m working overtime and have to sleep sometimes! You got the feeling right with Dylan wanting to kill Danny for hitting her, that’s exactly how I felt after getting beatings from my girlfriend. Luckily I found the strenght to get out. Hope she does too. Love Dylan and Helena together. Great work!
Wow…what a chapter! I love the long ones! I feel bad that something so terrible happened to Stephanie, however, I’m not sure it is excusable for her bad behavior. And I’m glad that Bette was able to vent what she needed about Helena, but was able to say that today, they were friends. Looing forward to the next chapter. I hope that Tina is continues to make progress with her recovery.
