    Author Notes:

    Dylan leaves the scene; Helena tries to cope; Bette practices new meditation techniques; Tina understands, Carmen is itchy and Shane gives her a scratch; “Good times, good times” are recalled by Bette, Tina, Alice, and Dana.

    Previously

    “Baby, I gotta tell you something,” Carmen said.  She stopped walking, cupped her hand against the side of her mouth and got on her toes to whisper in Shane’s ear.

     

    “What?”

     

    “My pussy itches like a muthafucker,” Carmen said softly.

     

    “Nobody told you to shave,” Shane retorted.

     

    *

    Sharon took the offered glass of Shiraz from Howie and waited until everyone had a glass.  She held her wine glass out and said, “A toast.  To our little girl and her love.  May you know all the happiness your father and I have shared in our thirty-four years; may understanding grow; compromise come easy, and the two of you always have someone to lean on for the rest of your lives.”  Everyone sipped from their glasses.

     

    “To Dana and Alice,” Irwin said.  He looked at the ring on Alice’s finger again.  His daughter was really going through with it, keeping up the Fairbanks tradition of marrying for life.  They sipped again.

     

    *

    On the street, Shay waved and waved.  He began to cry and wiped the tears from his eyes roughly, embarrassed that he missed his sister already and sad that he couldn’t have gone with them.  Once they were out of range, Shay also walked back toward the house.  He wondered what kind of mood his mother would be in now.  He could tell that she didn’t like that Shane had been there.

     

    *

    “No.  It’s just that Dylan means everything to me.”  Helena thought about what had transpired over the past twenty-four hours.  If Dylan had been anyone else, Helena would have booted her out of her life.  If Dylan had not come forward with the truth when she had, they wouldn’t have been able to make a go of it later down the road.   “I reckoned I’d never find a partner who’d want me for me and she does.  And I know that for a fact.”

     

    *

    “Yes, that’s right.  Brecker won’t get near you with me there, so lunch won’t be a problem, but I’m concerned about the trip to the recording studio,” Henry said.

     

    “I promised Kit.”

     

    “I think she’d understand, Tina.  And I know Bette wouldn’t want you to attend if she thought you might be in danger,” Helena stated.

    1. Who said that L word cannot have more than 12 episodes per season. Just take a look at this story. Thank you PortiaOnly for writing such a great fanfic. pps.

    2. I read this entire chapter with but one 10 minute break. The back story you have for Bette and Tina seems so real, it’s as though I know them already when I’m reading the story it’s so three-dimensional, detailed and complete that he stuff up we’ve seen up on the TV screen seems like trite nonsense. …and it is. I like your Bette Porter better. I applaud you for giving their love story more than just a coming out story, poorly imagined and barely seen (why didn’t they expand on that first kiss, the earring???? Don’t they know the stuff of storytelling? You sure do, Portia! BTW, a deus ex machina can’t come down and blot out Marcus soon enough for me. Maybe he’ll poison himself on some fixative or chemical, please??? B&T don’t need any more trouble. I love how you give each character equal weight. I’m up for the time investment if you are. As long as you write this phenomenal story, I’ll be reading. /Thank you for your dedication to this story and my condolences on the loss of your mother. God bless!

    3. This is my lucky week!!! Your details are so wonderful. It’s just the right amount to make the story so much more interesting! Thank you for the sharmen ending,…hot as hell!!!

    4. This amazing story of yours just keeps getting better and better. Your use of flashbacks to explore what makes Bette tick is brilliant. (I’ve long since given up expecting such in-depth treatment on the show.) In this chapter, your depiction of teenage Bette’s neediness (e.g., her exhilaration at the prospect of playing Scrabble with her parents) was heartbreaking. I have mixed feelings about Maxine. Personality-wise, she’s more appealing than that distant and hypercritical hard-ass, Melvin, but at least Melvin was a steady presence in young Bette’s life. “Laid Up” is compulsive reading and I can’t wait to see how its various threads unfold. In the meantime, thank you for sharing it with us.

    5. Thanks for posting Portia! Captivating as usual. after I read your updates I am always amazed at the depth and seamless flow of your story. seriously, this should have been the last few seasons and not the drivel they have given us, i.e. Jenny in a raft with a dog, Shane with a kid, Helena’s multiple personalities, and the general impression that all lesbains are completely dysfunctional on an amotional and sexual level. So thank you, thank you a hundred times for your story. I love it and can’t wait for more!

    6. Back and better than ever. I feel like I know these characters sooo well because you give them each their due. I just love the way you write Bette and Tina – I could read that for days. And good golly, you write the hottest scenes on this site!Thanks for your dedication.

    7. wow… i have been reading all night… love this story… and i can’t wait for bette to come home… its only been a day or two and i really feel for them both… and the back story and thier love making… dam girl… ok waitng for thr next chapter… great job…

    8. I’m finally caught up. Marcus needs to just stay the hell away. I love the flashbacks you’ve put in with both Bette’s past and B&T’s early days. The end made me think of the song. “What What (in the Butt).” XD

    10. Daaaaaaaamn! Shane/Carmen sex scene is the most hottest scene I have ever read in my entire life and I read A LOT of fics! Daaaaamn!(I cant’t stop saying it). I love hot passionate, sexy they are and also so loving. Carmen whispering those things in Spanish was the perfect touch. Thanks you so, so much for writting Sharmen they way you do. I’m truly amazed by it. Thank you again!!!

    12. Ah, Portia. You know I think this story is brilliant, right? Just checking. TiBette? Hot. Dylan & Hels… I’m scared for them. The Danish? Hot. Marcus? Worrisome. And Sharmen… so… f’ing… HOT. Post when you can, Portia, I’ll be waiting. Thanks for the update. (Brilliant!)

    13. How lucky are we? Two updates from you in one week. I’ve died and gone to heaven. Poor Helena, I hope she is able to find true happiness with Dylan. I can’t wait for Bette’s retreat to be over so she can get back and be with her family. Loving this story, thanks for the updates :)

    16. wow…just wow…i hope bette will hear tina’s message and go home…and also hope marcus won’t cause them any troubles, they had enough
