Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter 28A
In the previous chapter:
Helena flew to Majorca and found Dylan there waiting for her. They re-connected and acknowledged the depth of their feelings.
Alice and Dana planned their wedding
Bette and Tina re-connected Buddhist-style, making love and practicing Tonglen (exhaling their joy and inhaling others’ unhappiness) at the same time.
Stephanie Kennard left for a treatment center to deal with her childhood sexual abuse in lieu of doing some hard time for identity theft and credit card fraud
Theresa Kennard found out her ex-husband had drowned in a lake in North Carolina
Bette and Kit learned that they have a half-brother named Clayton “Mo” Moskowitz who looks like Bette.
Shane was a little nervous about how much Carmen wanted marriage even though Carmen didn’t voice that.

Two months later
8:00am (5pm Majorca Time)
Dylan was ready to head back in for the evening, but Jun Ying was having none of it. “Please, Dylan. Can we stay out for just another hour?” Helena’s daughter asked.
“Nope. Remember when we came out, we made an agreement? You and your brother and your mom and I did pinkie swears. Remember?” Dylan stood beside the child who held her fishing rod over the boat. Dylan wore a pair of khaki cargo shorts and a beige and white vertical-striped, gauze tunic. Her hair had grown out and was shoulder length and wild from being out on the breezy water.
“Yeah-es,” she sang.
“What did we agree?”
“That when you said it was time to go, that we’d have to leave.”
“Right.”
Helena was sunbathing. She looked divine in a cobalt blue and white striped two-piece. Her hair was piled high on her head and she had on black-framed, Vuarnet sunglasses. Dylan looked over at her and smiled. She wasn’t sure if Helena was even awake, let alone paying attention to the two of them, but Helena beamed back at her.
"But Dylan, I love the boat. It’s so much fun.”
“So, we’ll come back out. Maybe tomorrow.” She looked over at Wilson who was in a meditative state behind his fishing pole. They were never going to catch anything, but it was a good time for the kids—getting some sun, singing songs, and reconnecting with their other mother.

“I can give you a nice sample… Tina laughed, but Bette frowned and said, “Angus, please. We’re still having dinner…” – LOL – and thanks for the amazing update, Portia. You’ve really given us a treat.
Finally!!! I finished reading this little chapter you posted! wow.. where do I start?? Geez.. this was brilliant as always Portia!!! The tango dancing was so.. hot! I wish we could actually see that on the show. Don’t take to much time away from us! PPS!!!
And here I thought Bette was opening up to having Mo in her life… She’s not all *that* open, after it’s all said and done, is she? Great chapter, and I’m especially loving the wedding preps with Alice and the Fairbanks. That bit of B&T loving in the shower was very hot. And I’m glad that the Jodi Lerner thing was put to rest right at the get-go. Well, Portia, I don’t think I can say anything new in praise of this story, so I’ll just repeat myself (again) and say thanks. So… thank you. Can’t wait for the next update. Cheers.
Portia, I don’t even know what to say. I’m always so excited to see your post. Your is talent extraordinary. I’m blown away by your knowledge on so many topics. You’ve even got me thinking about liking Stephanie :). Thanks for taking such good care of our girls (especially B&T). Can’t wait for the next installment.
Hey Portia, Thank you for this latest chapter. As always you have crafted a wonderful and awesome addition to this magnificent melodrama. I just adore how the strands weave perfectly into a glorious coat of many colours. Cant wait to read more. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Your writing is simply amazing. Nuanced, Intricate, complex storytelling that is totally compelling. PP when you can. How do you organize such a fabulous story? What a talent you are!
I told myself I wouldn’t do it, but I just satread all 74 pages in one sitting. As usual, I couldn’t stop. This all flows so naturally, beautifully. I stop occasionally and remember that it’s not reportage, it’s all a creation from your own mind. Wonderful! Thanks!
Fantastic!!! all of it! :)
More Shane/Carmen sex scenes, please! SO DARN HOT. You are amazing1
