********
Kit and Bette found a nurse who seemed to have an idea where Lara might be.
Dismissively she sniffed, "X-ray….you can wait over there." She vaguely pointed to a waiting room that was overfilled with people who appeared to have cobwebs securing them to the furniture.
"Oh, hell no." Kit said. "I don’t think so."
Bette stepped in. "What my sister meant to say was that our friend is deathly afraid of doctors, and was hoping we might keep her company in order to alleviate a panic attack. Would you be so kind as to tell us where we might find her?" She smiled sweetly at the nurse.
The nurse was unmoved. "She’s in the right place if she has a panic attack." She waved again at the waiting room. "Over there…we’ll come get you when she’s out of X-ray."
As they walked towards the waiting room, Kit hissed under her breath, "Bitch."
Bette agreed.
Fifteen minutes later, a young orderly came in. "Perkins family?"
Bette and Kit jumped up. "Here."
"Ms. Perkins is in exam room 2, this way please."
They entered the cubicle to find Lara lying on a hospital bed with her eyes closed. A butterfly bandage had been applied to the laceration on her forehead, which was already beginning to bruise around the edges. Her left arm was lying across her chest, but was not bandaged in any way.
"Lara-girl?" Kit asked in a low voice.
Lara’s eyes opened. "Kit, Bette? What are you doing here? Where’s Alice?" her voice was scratchy, and her eyes were drowsy.
Kit crossed the room along with Bette. "Alice is, um, outside…..she said to tell you she’s thinking of you….but she can’t come in."
Lara nodded, her eyes closing. She remembered the cruel comment she’d made to Alice, and figured Alice wasn’t too interested in seeing her.
"What exactly happened, Lara?" Bette asked. "Have the doctors told you anything?"
Lara blearily opened her eyes once more. "No. They just gave me a shot of something to take the edge off the pain. I think my arm is broken, but no one has said much."
As if on cue, a young doctor entered the cubicle. "Ms. Perkins? I’m Dr. Wang. I’d like to go over your x-ray results and talk about your accident." Dr. Wang was a slight Asian woman who appeared to be in her early thirties. Her face was inexpressive as she approached Lara. She nodded to Kit and Bette who stepped back from Lara’s bedside.

You packed a heck of lot into this chapter…I’m still catching up, but am sooooo enjoying this story. Well done! Please update soon.
That was a fantastic chapter. Well done. I look forward to the next.
You have such a grip on the characters and their individual and collective personalities it’s eerily delightful. Don’t keep us hanging for too long, okay?
Well done my friend. You cover almost everyone in that small space, Loving this thanks
Wow! My head’s spinning from that chapter! Exxxxcellent G! Love your writing too! Can’t wait for more G!
That was great. Love the way you had the two of them just chillin on top of the car, chatting away, and Bette just happened to hear. Then, HELLO, Bette gave the keys of the Saab to Kit, no one gets those keys. Wish I could be in the car with them.
Delicious! Wow, I’m all a-giddy, even for Bette and Tina. I like that you have Lara and Alice not really sure of what they feel for each other and nervous about what the other feels, there’s nothing like the butterflies stages of relationships–wonderful and complicated. Needless to say, I can’t wait for the next hit, uh, chapter, lol. The pacing remains believable and realistic. It’s crazy how a TV show has endeared me to fictitous characters and your chapters make me wish this is what we’d see on the show. This chapter in particular was one was a tasty whopper, thank you! Keep it up, be brave for taking the next ‘post PG-13′ step (maybe it’s not yet, but whenever it is…), you can do it, your style of expressing these womens’ experiences is…gaah, it makes me just want to make out right now, all sweet and sloppy and tender and fun. OK, I’ll stop now…rock on!
*claps hands* Hercules…Hercules…Hercules…thank you Goldrun for getting my girls together…the dating and getting to know one another again will be exciting. The green eyed monster wouldn’t let Tina picture Bette with Lara….lol…please post soon.
yay, loving it as always. Addicted as always :P You write it perfectly, ah I love the Lace coupling that much! So now the next chapter will be really sweet and lovey-dovey… right? Right??? Haha please!
This chapter was just great. You put a whole lot into this one and it was GREAT. Thank you PPS
yes, i agree with you alice! finally just the two of you! lol great ukpdate. post more soon
Ok, while I liked the idea of Lara and Bette together… I still like the idea of Tina and Bette together a LOT better. YAY! Everyone’s happy, at least for now!
lol, I’m the wrong person to comment if you’re dragging it..I like to go in detail too. ;) But hey, if I ever say you’re dragging it then you know you really need to keep it short. :P Loved the update. Bette was quite straightforward with Tina…but yay, Bette isn’t after Lara anymore. ;) And Alice and Lara finally alone…revelling in the thought they really like each other (no more doubts).
Hey Gold! So sorry I’ve been AWOL lately! Everything’s fine – thanks for asking. I’ve been mostly offline for the past couple of weeks due to a random combination of life and work stuff… imagine my jubilation to find not one, not two, but three wonderful updates for your story when I finally got back online! And 6 pages for the most recent chapter! I actually whooped aloud when I saw that, which caused my housemates some minor alarm. :) I can’t tell you how much I love the way this story is progressing – it just gets better and better! I’m still wearing a huge, cheesy grin on my face as a result of this lovely chapter. I especially like the idea of Alice having to confront her demons about Dana by dealing with Lara being in the hospital. I love that you’re forcing them to face their fears and anxieties about each other; it is those small moments (such as a couple chapters ago, when Alice worries about Bette and Lara having dinner together because she remembers all of Dana and Lara’s “friendly” dinner dates) that really add layers to the characters by gesturing toward their history together (rather than completely forgetting or ignoring it, as IC & co. tend to do). I only hope that TLW writers scan these pages for ideas – your plotline for the Lace relationship is just terrific, and exactly what I would hope to see on screen in season 4. Of course, having read your story, I won’t be satisfied with anything less from TLW next year! Thank you for the updates… I’ll be looking forward to the next chapter with Lara and Alice finally alone together!
this is great I love it but I still see that there could be some trouble still to come for a few people please post soon great update and I love it
