Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Two
“All right, then, Tina. So, I’ll stop by again, yeah?”
* * * * *
Dana was wearing a pair of navy blue shorts and a teal colored tank top. She was getting close to Alice’s place, so started her cool down run. At the front door steps to the apartment building, she did a few stretches, loosening her hamstrings, stretching the tendons in her foot.
“Hi, Dana.”
Dana’s head whipped around and she grinned when she saw Lara standing behind her. Lara was wearing a tight white T-shirt and checkered black and white chef’s pants, black clogs were on her feet.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Dana tried to wipe the smile off her face, but it was useless. Whenever she saw Lara, she became excited, giddy, and everything around her faded away.
Lara was holding a blue notebook. “I know this is a bit unconventional, but I was thinking about your training. You know the few times that we’ve gone out, you’ve been so cautious about what you eat.”
“Yeah?” Dana laughed.
“Well, I was reading some things on sports medicine and nutrition and then started experimenting and kind of came up with what I think is a great meal plan for you—lots of great food, tons of flavor, the right amount of protein, little fat.”
“Really?”
“I’d like to show it to you. Go over it. If you like it, I could be your personal chef.”
Dana shrugged. “I don’t think I need a personal chef. That’s way too LA for me. I grab something at the Planet. You’re cooking there, that’s fine.”
“I’ll make something special just for you. No extra charge. Can I show you?”
“Sure. Sure, why not?” Dana turned toward the door, then back to Lara. “You wanna come in?”
“Okay.”
“Right. Okay. Right.” Dana walked up the steps and opened the door for Lara, then followed behind her. Dana had a feeling that Alice wouldn’t approve of Lara being inside her apartment and the fact that she was there without Alice’s knowledge really wouldn’t sit well if she found out—which she wouldn’t.
“I’m going to catch a quick shower. Why don’t you set up on the table?”

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
