A tall woman with dark hair and porcelain skin casually walked down the sterile hallway, smiling at the nurses and doctors as if she belonged there. She slowed her pace as she reached the patient’s door, glanced quickly up and down the hall, then pushed the door open, sliding in quickly.
Helena was shocked to see Tina lying so still in the bed. Her ex-lover had lost a great deal of weight and her skin was thin with blue veins so prominent that her arms looked like a road map. At a snail’s pace, Helena walked to the bed and looked down at her. The British woman who was usually so poised was aghast at the image before her. She leaned down. “Hello, Tina. Can you hear me, darling?”
She straightened. “Tina, I saw your daughter at The Planet. She’s quite lovely. I didn’t actually meet her. Bette was holding her and I have a feeling she’d use a taser gun on me before she’d let me near your child. She’s very protective. I know you don’t expect to hear this from me, but I think she is making a wonderful mother.”
Through this strange, gray thickness, Tina heard what sounded like Helena talking. She couldn’t make out what was being said, but thought that Helena sounded so nice. She really was a good person and Helena had been there when she needed a friend the most. People didn’t get Helena, but under that arrogant exterior, she was a gentle, delicate, and sweet person.
“I’m wondering if there’s anything you need.” She paused, for some reason anticipating a forthcoming answer from Tina. “I suppose I should speak with one of your doctors. I want you to receive the very best care. Despite what Winnie would have one believe, I can be quite generous with my exes.” Helena looked at the flowers in the room and said to essentially no one, “Well, I’ll keep my ears open, what about that? I’ll step in if need be. You’re probably wondering what happened to Leigh Ostin. She went back to New York. Back to Valerie. I reckoned she would. It was quite casual anyway. A bit of fun.”

Seems like with Bette and Tina its they always need to talk. A person in a coma can still hear, ,radio,TV,and human voices. Bette needs to tak,and talk and talk. Tina always loved Bettes voice. thanks
Ooooh–Bette is a wench for saying that about Tina, but I understand the frustration and doubt she must be feeling about Tina’s recovery. I love your footnotes!
The L Word 3: The Missing 6 Months! Thank you for taking on this task. To quote Nelly (and DeBarge): “I like it,(I know you like it)I like it,I really,really like it.I want it,adore it.” …Glad you’re back! Keep up the good work! Reading your writing is my pleasure!
As much as I love Bette…and I do, she is my favorite character…I think that was an incredibly selfish thing for her to say…that she thinks Tina is in a coma because she is somehow punishing her. Geez Bette! Thanks!
i hope tina will wake up soon and see her baby, so she and bette can start their family again
I have to agree with Seahurst…Bette is so egocentric and selfish. And, she is my favorite character. Her vows included in sickness and in health.
When a loved one is in a coma for a long period of time, your own brain begins to wonder why this is happening. You begin to fight within your ownself as to why the person you love is still in this state. In this case Bette can not understand why Tina is not there (awake) and by now she is struggling with life in general. Why is it that some people can wake up within a matter of hours while others never wake up? Tina is there, she somehow has to pull herself out of the gray fog. Hopefully with the new faculities she will get the needed therapy.
Well, is Bette using daring Tina to wake up by saying that?
she has to keep talking to her… tina can hear … coma patients can hear whats going on around them.. so bette needs to keep telling tina all about angielica and the girls and how much she loves her… bette had to stop the negitively… just positive things to get tina back…keep it going… please continue
No one can say how you will respond to a loved one on a coma. It must be totaly devestating. I personaly don’t think that Bette’s remark is selfish at all. It may be irrational, but think one’s mind goes into overdrive when you fear lossing the one they love. I cried while reading this story. (Sorry, I am a Tina fan) Please let Tina be alright. let her wake up! Lovely Story!!
when my dad passed away he was sick before hand for a long time…the last day he slowly fell into a coma, anyway, my point being is that they tell you even though the person in a coma can’t respond, the hearing is the last thing to go. They can hear you as you talk to them…and so I talked and talked…Bette get off your confused horse and TALK. Again, we have not had a bountiful story like this to sink our teeth into for awhile…THANKYOU
