Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Three
He looked down at her palm. “You’ve doubted yourself. You won’t have to now. You’ve either made a big change in your life or you’re about to. It’s a good decision. Go with it. You’ll be successful. Here, your love line. This is interesting.”
“What is it?”
“A new lover. You won’t see her coming. You are lesbian, right?”
“Yes,” Helena said, wondering how a line on her palm could possibly ‘out’ her.
“You won’t see her coming. You’ll feel something, but you won’t believe it. You don’t really want her, but you won’t be able to stay away. You’ll be forced to spend time with her. This relationship will make you uncomfortable, but if you give yourself over to it, you’ll find ultimate happiness. You’re going to doubt her motives. She won’t trust you.”
He held her hand tighter, gripping it inside his own. Helena stared at her hand. “Who is it?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do I know her already?”
“I suppose. You have some perceptions of her. I don’t know if that’s from knowing her or if it’s a stereotypical perception you have about her type.”
“Is it something I should pursue?”
“With all your heart.”

Bette sat in the administrator’s office at the rehab center. Agatha Benson, a crone of a woman sat behind her desk and listened to Bette who sat across from her with Angelica in her arms.
“This list is far too long. We aren’t equipped to have people roaming in and out of here all day long.”
Bette knew she’d have problems with this woman. She had been complaining about everything and Bette could tell that the woman had a problem with Bette being the female partner of her newest patient. Bette chuckled in annoyance. “They won’t be roaming around. We’re talking adults who have fairly busy lives. They’re taking time out of their very full schedules to come in to help Tina. My understanding of this center is that emotional and familial support is utmost.”
“It is. However, these are friends, not family.”
“If Tina could tell you, she would. They are very much her family. And Dr. McPherson thinks that these visits will be helpful in her recovery.

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:)

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.
