Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Nine
The Next Morning – One Month and Three Days after Angelica’s Birth Theresa Kennard and Bette Porter were seated on the deck at one of the large outdoor tables at the Planet. Since Kit became owner of the café, the gang’s influence and clout had risen tremendously. They always had their choice of table and more than a few times customers had been asked to relocate to accommodate Kit, her sister, and their group of friends. Theresa looked at home in the funky café. She was wearing black jeans and a white and black, short blanket-like serape shirt. Her tortoise-shell sunglasses were propped on top of her blonde head. Bette, on the other hand, looked like the stereotypical LA hipster dressed in all black—a low cut, u-neck, C and C tank with black flared trousers and jacket. She had a meeting later in the morning and had to look the part–edgy, artsy, and professional. Bette watched Kit move through the main room carrying a bowl filled with an assortment of muffins. Dana, in black competitive running shorts and a quick-dry grey top was standing at the counter having a casual talk with Lara. Kit greeted her. ______ “Good morning.” “Hi, Kit,” Dana smiled and immediately returned her focus to Lara. Kit looked at them and arched an eyebrow, then glanced down at the floor. “Good, good. Good to see that we took care of that little problem.” Dana looked down and Lara leaned over the counter and also cast her eyes to the floor. “What problem?” Lara asked. “The moss problem. Ain’t no moss growing under your feet, I see.” She directed the last comment to Dana whose smile was so weakly pathetic, that she looked like she was about to vomit the energy muffin that Lara had made her eat. “Ha. Funny.” Dana smirked. Kit continued to her sister’s table. ______ “Bette, you’ve been doin’ so much, I’m worried that you’re going to burn out,” Theresa sat beside her while Angelica, in the stroller next to her Nani, stared at her fingers. “I’m doing fine, Theresa. It’s unfortunate to say, but things are becoming routine. I know what I need to do each day and I’m getting them done. I’m lucky to have you and a great support system…” Kit arrived at the table and placed the muffins in the center. “Hi, Kit. I was just talking about you.”

Bette is truly a sweetheart. Can’t you let Tina wake up earlier? Must we go through the whole pain of season three again? My heart is aching… Great writing!
simply beautifull….
Tina blinked her eyes?! Please let her wake up. Bette is so devoted. Your writing is exceptional. Please post again soon…
i hope tina wakes up soon, i’m afraid bette might lose her and angie
wow,that was just amazing…god if that memory doesn’t wake tina up nothing will…sure woke me up!!! tks portia love it….
Tina is remembering the love that she shared with Bette during the good times. Can Bette help Tina to return to her and Angelica who she has never met? Bette needs Tina so much and she is showing her all of her love. Hopefully this will continue to pull Tina out and back into Bette’s arms. Just do me a favor and don’t lead this into the man thing with Tina. Not into that at all.
This is so beautiful, I don’t know what else to say. Wonderful, mystical, skillful, transcendental, all these things. The ongoing dramas of Alice/Dana and Bette with Tina are involving in and of themselves, then when Bette arrived the story took off to an entirely unexpected place and deeper level. You are so very talented, but I didn’t know you were capable of such mastery, such subtlety, such peace. This is one of the best, surely one of the best ever written for this site. Namaste.
Simply beautiful. My heart skipped a beat when I read the last line. I hope you are having Tina wake soon. Please hurry and post :). Thank you.
WOW… that was a novel and i loved it… please let tina wake up and have everything be fine… and have her tell her sister to go to hell… and please don’t follow season 3… we had enough of it… please continue soon
