Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Three
A month after Angelica’s birth
Only part of The Planet was open for business. There was outdoor seating and a path leading from the coffee bar to the patio. Every few steps were signs that said, Pardon the Mess. A New Planet Coming to Your Universe. There was a skeleton crew and a few regular customers, but it was still busy. On the patio at one large table were Dana and Alice, Shane and Carmen, and Bette holding Angelica. The table was covered with coffee mugs, cappuccino cups, and baskets of various breads.
“We’ve got everything set up at Tina’s new place. I think she’s fairly acclimated now. If you guys could spare some time to see her…” Bette began.
“God, Bette, you don’t have to ask,” Shane interrupted. “We’ve been waiting for the word.”
“It took some time to get it all together.”
Kit walked over and took the empty seat next to her half-sister. She played with Angelica’s tiny toes.
“You know what I think, Bette? I think we should put together some kind of schedule. That way Tina’s not freakin’ with all of us there at the same time.”
“That’s a good idea, Al. You guys don’t have to go by everyday.”
“Sure we do. We love, Tee,” Alice said.
Kit’s clipboard where she was keeping track of ordering and inventory was on the table. She picked it up and looked at Shane and Carmen, “Okay?”
Shane turned to Carmen, “What do you think about Noon to 2?”
Carmen stared into Shane’s eyes. “Do you think we can make it out of bed before 11:15?”
“Yeah.”
“Really? We didn’t today.” Carmen brushed the bangs out of Shane’s eyes. “We didn’t yesterday. We didn’t the day before.” She reached for some part of Shane’s body under the table and Shane jumped, grabbed Carmen’s hand and put it on the table.
“How about from 1 – 2?” Shane suggested and Carmen nodded before kissing Shane’s cheek.
“Does that interfere with Tina’s lunch,” Carmen asked stupidly.
“No,” Bette whispered.
“Carmen, she’s hooked up to an IV. She’s being fed intravenously,” Shane explained.
“Oh, yeah. That’s right. I forgot. Sorry.”

Just got caught up with your stsory today and it is very interesting. After reading what Amanda and B&TForever said, do you really mean there were spoilers about Tina being in a coma for all of S3, if so, that would explain a lot. Oh God, I hope that is true, maybe S4 will be about getting us back to the real loving couple. What a thrill. thanks for the post.
Please have Tina wake up and the entire 3rd season would have been a dream for all of the characters. Great story but Tina in a coma is scaring the hell out of me. Too close to the real thing for me. Please, Please let her wake up to a loving Bette.
I ran my mouse over the ‘next post by this author’ link, desperately hoping for another chapter. I love the length and denseness of your chapters. I wonder if writing them is as pleasurable as it is to read them. Does Bette ever put Angelica in Tina’s arms? I’m sure they both need the bond of touch. Thanks!
By the by, does anyone else think that Tony Soprano’s coma was an ill-advised choice? I wonder if The Sopranos has jumped the shark with that one. It better pick up or HBO will be going the way of SHO in my household – kaput! Anyone?
OMG! Your story is great, I just started chap. one today been reading the rest straight through. Alice walking in Shane’s room & seeing the handprint on Carmen’s ass was hilarious. Keep up the great work.
Sharmen is sexy. I laughed out loud when Alice saw the handprint on Carmen’s ass. too funny.
I really like your writting, but I would prefer Tina to wake up or atleast give some reaction to Bette. This must be devestating for Bette. I love Tina and Bette, and i hated what happened in season 3, but they are still my favourite. Make it all better, please!
i love this… i have said tina is in a coma… but please don’t let her stay there too long… oh and i love alice… i could just see her walking into a room… ok stop fucking… and then just sit on the bed… too funny…please continue
I understand your attempt to make since of IC’s debakle of S3, but PLEASE let Tina wake up soon. She will have a long journey as it is.
Love the way you write Sharmen, that’s one hella sexy scene! I can really picture Shane and Carmen behaving that way. HOT! Please keep it up:)
Hey great story. That´s the first chapter I´ve read of your sory and I really like it. Especially the Sharmen parts!Please go on sooon!
Your sharmen are frisky bunnies…, oh boohoo, did I say I was sorry to see jenny catch a plane?? sorry, but pls don’t bring a max into this bunch…One happy couple on the road to having more happy couples..right??? WAKE UP TINA!!!Tks Portia, love this season your creating!!!!
Portia…This is really well written. Lots of detail and description, good dialogue and the comments and tone are spot on for each character. Keep going.
i guess you’re going with the rumors that season 3 was all dreamed up by tina who was in coma…i like it…eventhough i would like her to wake up soon
This is wonderfully written. Thank you!
