“Bette, why don’t you look in the top drawer over there? If you could pick some materials–we’re going to use them to hopefully get a reaction from Tina. We’ll want to do many things to stimulate all of her senses. Our specialists and assistants will use different fabrics and textures against her skin—place them in her hand, rub them on her feet; we’ll bring in different sounds—recorded music, a xylophone, musicians, sound effects; Tina will smell fresh bread, garlic, chocolate. All of this might sound ridiculous at this point, but believe me, anything could trigger a reaction. So, look in the drawer, choose anything you’d like to start.”
Bette opened the top drawer and looked in. There were suede and velvet strips, rubber and leather patches, large marbles, a jelly-like squeeze toy, an eye dropper bottle containing water.
Dr. McPherson pushed the sheet up, exposing Tina’s feet and legs. Bette walked to the end of the bed, still holding their daughter. “What do I do?”
“Caress the arch of her foot with the strips, move up, rub it over her calves, change textures: watch for any movement.” Dr. McPherson stepped away, taking a seat across the room and giving the couple a small bit of privacy.
“Tee, do you feel this velvet? It’s so soft. Let me know if you feel me touching you with it.” Bette watched closely, praying that she’d see eye movement behind the closed lids or a wiggled toe or the flexing of a calf muscle, but there was nothing.
She picked up the rubber strip.
Deep in her unconscious mind, Tina and Bette were visiting a sex therapist. The therapist had just told them they needed to rekindle the spark in their long term relationship.
Tina found the sex therapist to be a joke. She wasn’t angry that Bette had insisted they see her, but she was annoyed. She didn’t need a sex therapist. She didn’t know what she needed, but it wasn’t that. She was exhausted. Taking care of Angelica took a lot of time. She was up all night holding and breastfeeding their child.
“When you do these exercises at home, Tina, she’ll be naked wearing a blindfold,” the doctor explained.
“Oh, no way. I’ll feel ridiculous. I don’t want anybody staring down at my naked body—tickling me with strips of rubber and suede.”
Bette was close to tears. She said sadly, “Tina, please… Tina, are you in there? It’s Bette. I’m your life partner.” She looked at Tina’s face, recalling the sparkling brown eyes now hidden behind closed eyelids. “Tina, you’re so beautiful.”
Bette responded to Tina’s comment,“First of all, I’m not just anybody. I’m your life partner and would-be lover and secondly, I find you beautiful.”

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.
