Henry McPherson was dressed in a pair of jeans and a pale blue Polo shirt. His son was dressed identically. Henry had preferred that Mikey choose a different choice of clothing for the day’s activities, but Mikey was his son—trying to make everyone happy, reaching out for connections in every way he could. After trying ten minutes to get his son to change into khakis or a T-shirt, he gave up. Henry wondered if Mikey would be accomplished in his chosen field when he became a man and if he’d always still be a guy trying to please. Henry was professionally successful, financially, he was set for life, he was the Chief of Staff, a neuro-surgeon, and a neurologist at the Center. On paper, he was partners with Dr. Frazier-Jones, but he was the majority holder in the business. He was tall, strong, reasonably attractive, but still he was a needy and clinging man in his personal life. Even after hearing about Stephanie, his very first thought was that she’d still want him and then he realized that he could make her reliant on him—there for her when she went through her worse. She’d never leave him.
The phone rang just as he was sending his son out the door. “Go ahead and get in the car, Mikey. I’ll be right out.” He walked over to the telephone and picked it up. “Dr. McPherson.”
“Henry. Hi, honey. It’s Stephanie.”
He grinned and sat in the leather chair next to the phone. “You think I don’t recognize your voice? I hear it when I wake up, when I go to bed, and in my dreams. How’s it going there?” When are you coming back?”
“I’m almost finished packing up. I didn’t realize how much I had. I’ve got a friend who owns a moving company, but it’s local. I didn’t know that. So now, I need to find someone else. He tells me that making a cross-country move is expensive. I’m sure I can swing it, though. Hen, are you sure you want me to move in with you?”
“More than I did yesterday, more than a few days ago. I’m certain. You’re my family and I want to be there beside you—whatever’s going on, I want to be there.”

Thank gosh Dr Jones saw sense… Josh had to go. He still needs a kicking, though. Hmmm… when Bette came over all pale, sweaty, sick and was having sharp side pains, I thought, for a teensy bit, that Bette was going to have to have an emergency appendectomy. I’m glad that didn’t come to pass. Danny, again, needs a kicking, just like the craptastic creep Josh. Bette and Helena should do a tag team thing. Steel cage. Al could announce… speaking of, I’d love to see Alice and Dana’s wedding. I want to see what they’d come up with.
I love the way you weave your words. Excellent update. Has me on the edge of my seat…literally. PPS!
Ok, now I have trouble responding with praise for one post….you bless me with another…again no words to express how wonderful your version of S3 is….if I had IC’s address I’d print off this version wrap it up and send it off to her. She would then see the light, hire you to write on the show you’d be brilliant, we all would love your rendition and so of course would JB who would sign on for another few years and wow, I’d have won the lotto….well, a girl can hope can’t she??? Thanks portia, hope your working on the next chapter……….
I was just wishing the other day that you would update your story, and bam, two chapters. What have you got Theresa up to? She is either losing it or plotting something horrible. I think all hell is going to break loss when Bette leaves, especially as Tina is back on her medication. Love how you Alice & Dana and Shane & Carmen. Please let Dylan tell Helena before she finds out from Danny. Loved, loved, loved the updates! Please keep B&T together :). Thanks Portia.
Portia thank you so much for another post. I loved Joyce in this chapter…I hope she put Roberta and that other lady in their places and they won’t bother her anymore. This Josh dude was sick…I hope he dosen’t try to get back at Tina. Bette REALLY has to control that temper…it is gonna get her in some REAL trouble. I know this is alot to ask but I hope you post again REALLY soon.
Okay, I like your Season 3 sooo much more than the TV version. No doubt about it!
To add to what TMAJO said… I like the way you weave your stories too. Bringing all the characters together to create a new and better S3 is quite a feat and you should be proud. Thanks again, Portia!
Two terrific chapters. I love fierce Bette, just love her. Also loved the bit with Helena and the alphabet and who is which letter – very funny. Thanks for always giving us your best effort.
your work is both unrivaled and amazing. thanks for this and hope you’re able to update soon.
Portia, Portia Portia how I have missed thee. This was as finger licking good as Roscoe and dare I say even better with less calories. Where to begin I just love the way you write and I mean write with so much confidence that its makes it practically impossible for me as a reader to doubt one word of what you have penned. Absolutely ruthless you are as a writer and I would too like to thank your editor Wendy, because its all flawless. From one word to the next from one sentence to the next I have yet to detect one mistake. Or maybe I am just to enthralled to care. I eagerly await your next installment, I do, I really do. Exellent as always, thanks.
Somebody call IC and tell her she can fire her entire writing staff. And stop writing herself for that matter. Portia, you have outdone yourself again. I am very very very happy :) Thank you so much !
Just simply amazing! THANK YOU…
Portia…I don’t how you do it. You’re a brilliant writer. Each part of the story is compelling. Your fanfic is literally a novel. I hope that one day it will be a published book. It is…you are amazing.
Wow! Portia, you amaze me!
Grapefruit soda…YUCK! I’m shocked no one tried to get Bette arrested for the scene in Tina’s room. “You’ve had enough dick for all of us, Roberta…” Joyce just owned your skank-ho ass, Roberta! LMAO@Dana and Alice getting a lovely “wake-up call.” xD PPS!
I know Tina is trying to calm down everything but she is really start to anger me. I mean Bette has already been through enough and to tell her not to overreact when this man has basically said he would rape her at anytime..ugh.. sometimes I wish bette would just let tina go so she can have a peace of mind.
