Bette held the door for them and the three women entered the neuro-trauma center. Theresa and Stephanie Kennard didn’t know which room Tina was in, but Bette did. When they turned the corner, Bette saw a commotion at Tina’s door. She ran down the hall, leaving the other two women staring blankly ahead. “Tina! Tina!” Bette shouted as she ran.
She brushed by two medical personnel who were standing at the door and sprinted to the bed where Dr. McPherson stood administering an injection while another nurse held Tina down by the shoulders. Tina’s legs were moving ever so slightly under the thin blanket. Alice stood beside the bed in shock, her mouth agape as she looked on.
“Wh-what happened? Tina? Bette turned to McPherson. “What happened?”
“It’s all right, Bette. Tina had a small seizure. It’s nothing to become alarmed about. Seizures aren’t uncommon in comatose patients. I’ve given her a mild dosage of Ativan.”
The Kennards rushed into the room. “Is Tina all right?” Theresa asked.
“Oh my, God. Tina!” Stephanie couldn’t believe the state her sister was in.
“What will the Ativan do?” Bette asked. The only Kennard she cared about at this moment was Tina.
“It’ll stop the seizures.” McPherson smiled down at Tina, before turning to Bette. “I know that it was important to you to have Tina breastfeed Angelica, but that’s going to have to stop again. Ativan passes to the baby through breastfeeding. The other anti-seizure medications that I could give Tina aren’t ones that I find appropriate for her.”
“But I thought she didn’t…she didn’t need those meds still?”
“Apparently, we removed the anti-seizures too soon. Bette, don’t look at this as a setback. It isn’t.” McPherson turned to look at the two blonde women who had entered the room. “You must be Tina’s relatives.”
Alice had moved next to Bette and whispered, “It’s okay. She’s fine. A tiny scare, but she’s out of it. Not to worry.” Bette nodded.
“I’m Tina’s mother, Theresa and this is my other daughter, Stephanie. How’s my little girl, doctor…?”
“McPherson. Her treatment is going well. Why don’t you sit with her for a while and later, I can fill you in if Bette’s agreeable to that?”

Portia, have I said thankyou??? Thankyou for your dedication to writing a story that is full, full of love, lust, heartache, and the daily grind. Thankyou for giving us a wonderful Tina, although a little out of it right now, but we know you will take good care of her!!! I worry about this Bette, like kit mentioned…she is very close to cracking…pls tell me there is no more candyass lurking?? Pls try to post soon, I LOVE this story!!!!
Well Done.Excellent narrative with lots of detail and description.
i hope tina will wake up soon and TLW life will come back to normal, wonderful way of blending reality and tina’s coma dreaming…i wish s3 was all tina’s dream
Thanks I hope you’ll do a better job with Alice than in the show and don’t let her in pain too much, she deserves better. I want to know what you do with danish.
I love the way you are slowly erasing the damage IC did to our girls. You are truly gifted. I nominate you for a fanfic award :). Please let Tina wake up before those Kennard people try and steal Angelica. For everyone else: if you have not read Portia’s previous stories, do so, they are amazing too. Thanks Portia
I just can’t help feeling that Tina’s folks are going to try and take Angel away from Bette. Please let Tina wake up before that happens.
A scary thought passed my brain that Angelica’s Nani is going to try and take her away from Bette. I also worry that if and when Tina does wake up that your story will follow right along season 3 and Bette will not only be penniless but loose her true love Tina. I only hope that while Tina is in the coma that all those man thoughts will disappear when she does wake up.
Your scenario for S3 explains Tina’s aberrant behavior. It’s just as I pictured it, but of course, having Tina’s coma occur in present time rather than as a flashback at the end of S3 is inspired. The drama is still there, the true nature of the characters is still intact; they have not experienced explicable personality transplants. Love your addition of Tina’s family. From spoilers I gathered that we would meet Tina’s mother in S3. I guess that went out the window with the rest of her credibility. What a shame…Thanks for your finely textured story. The series producers should take notes. They could learn a lot from you about narrative flow.
