    Author Notes:

    .

    Helena paced around her bedroom, tossing a few things into her overnight bag while she talked on the phone to Winnie.

     

    “I’m not being irrational.  I merely think that Wilson is too young to be playing competitive lacrosse,” Helena insisted, trying to keep her tone even.

     

    “But you’re the one who encouraged him to find a sport that he enjoyed and get involved in it,” Winnie replied.

     

    “I realize that, Winnie.  But having a casual hobby and registering for the club team are entirely different.”

     

    “You were the captain of your lacrosse team.”

     

    “And I’ve got the scars to prove it.”  Helena held the receiver in one hand while she hastily packed her toiletries kit with the other.

     

    “Hel.  What’s going on?” Winnie asked.

     

    “Nothing is going on.  I’ve changed my mind, that’s all.”

     

    “He’s going to be very disappointed.  It’s all he’s talked about since the registration packet came in the mail.”

     

    “I know,” Helena sighed, sitting down on the edge of the bed, suddenly exhausted.

     

    “Remember, he’d be playing with boys his own age and size.  He’ll be wearing pads and a helmet.  And he probably won’t be nearly as aggressive as you were,” Winnie suggested.

     

    Helena rubbed her temple, thinking.  She was being overprotective, and she knew it.  She also realized that her response had less to do with Wilson and more to do with the time she had spent with Tina.  It was as if all of life’s potential dangers had suddenly presented themselves to her in sharp focus.  One minute, everything could be wonderful and beautiful and idyllic.  And the next minute your child was gone from you forever.  It made her want to cling to her son and daughter and not ever let them out of her sight.

     

    “Helena?”

     

    “Yes.  I’m sorry.  You’re right.  If he wants to play, we should register him as planned.  I’ll even take him out this weekend for his gear.”

     

    “You’resure?” Winnie asked.

     

    “Positive.  I’m sure he’ll be a brilliant player,” Helena said quietly.

     

    After she hung up, Helena leaned back against her ornately carved headboard and closed her eyes.  She hadn’t slept for more than an hour last night, and she felt raw and sad and world weary.  She shook her head, wondering how Tina must feel after countless sleepless nights.

    4. Helena is not my favorite person but she is rapidly growing positively on me. She is all set to help Tina and I appreciate that. Now if she would take the next step and go get Bette and bring her behind back to Tina and make them talk, I woould be forever grateful to her. Thanks for the post.

    6. At least they know that Helena’s taking care of her, and that Tina’s letting Helena take care of her. Seems like that’s more than anyone else has progressed. Shane’s smart in just going. What’s going on inside Bette’s head? :(

    11. You know, I really like Helena, it’s so nice to see her in a story where she isn’t getting killed or being a bitch or similar…looking forward to your next post!

    12. I was considering how to properly convey my fan fic love for you. I was gonna get your screenname tattoed in sanskrit down one of my shoulder blades. But what if you wrote something that sucked? I’d be stuck with your name. Admittedly, the odds of that happening are the odd equivalent of me commenting on the story first instead of 104 sentences into the comment box. :D Still. One can’t be too cautious. So, I’ve decided to simply tell you that are were, are and will always be one of my favorite authors. :) Though I do promise to play air guitar in your honor during your next chapter. 5 stars, as usual FFC….

    14. Every word is so heartfelt and laced with a graceful sympathy – Your writing is a pleasure to read however difficult this heartbraking topic is to write – you do manage to write every word with care. Thank you.

    15. this is a good story but i thought bette and tina learned from past mistakes- i know this is a hard thing but surely bette is wiser and won’t let helena get in again with tina–

    23. I’m attempting to get settled in and ‘comfortable’ with this child-death concept. I know I’m in good hands. Maybe this is a mystical fiction, and Angelica will rise from the dead, like Frida Kahlo, or something…Helena is gaining major points. That’s worth something. Have I told you lately you are a fantastic writer? Okay, then…Thanks!
