    Author Notes:

    This story opens a few hours after Tina has given birth.

     

    While Naomi, one of the two nurses in the room detached the funnel cup from Tina’s nipple and pulled the tubing from the machine, Carol stretched and bent Tina’s legs, then her arms, exercising her in a way Tina couldn’t for herself.  There was no reaction from Tina.  She was no more than a shell at this point.

     

    Bette couldn’t believe the turn her life had taken.  She had worked so hard to show Tina that she held all the cards and she could be the woman Tina needed her to be.  She was attentive and welcoming and refused to put any pressure or make demands.  They were going to co-parent together and live in their home as a family.  Things hadn’t worked out that way yet, but they would.

     

    “Bette, honey?”  Naomi was standing over her holding a bottle of milk.  

     

    Bette looked up. “Sorry.”

     

    “Do you wanna give Angelica her bottle?”

     

    She took the bottle from the nurse and placed the small cotton cloth that was on her lap against Angelica’s white, Onesie undershirt.  “Thank you.” 

     

    Angelica went for the bottle immediately.  Naomi stared down at the mother and daughter for a moment and sighed before turning around.

     

    “Almost finished Carol?”  Naomi’s heart kind of broke when she had to work with these types of patients.  A middle-aged guy who had lived his life chowing down on steaks and buttered potatoes, downing Scotch, smoking pack after pack of cigarettes wasn’t necessarily tragic.  It was sad for the family, but he kind of brought it on himself.  This situation was different.  To see a woman described as being full of verve in a comatose state while her newborn had one special first time after another was truly the saddest thing.  Life sucked.  And this young woman’s partner simply worshipped her.  Bette Porter seldom left the hospital.  Perhaps she had a trust fund or someone to take care of her because she wasn’t concerned with work.  Her only concern was being by Tina Kennard’s side with their child in her arms.  It really, really broke her heart.

     

    “Uh-huh.  Could you lower her bed for me?”  Carol asked as she slowly moved Tina’s body down and made her comfortable under the sheet.  Carol turned to Bette. “I know it seems odd, but you should talk to her as much as possible.  That sort of stimulation does help.  Talk to her, sing, comment on life, anything.  She might not be able to respond yet, but keeping those synapses spiking does help her.”

    3. Excellant post. I’m with Seahurt all the way. Where’s that oxygen tank….there…now that should do it…lol:) Please soon. Thanks. Bye now

    6. wow, you’ve got our attention for sure…It’s great to finally see all these new stories starting, especially from some writers that we’ve not heard from in a while…I totally 2nd Seahurts comments!!!

    9. Man, I have to say that I already prefer this story to S3, and it’s only the first chapter! Tina in a coma is better than bitchface Tina on the show. You write so well too, and you have the characters down pat. Excellent job! Please continue.

    10. Portia, I cherish fond memories of your first story, which was so well and densely written. Thank you for coming back and giving us your version of S3. I can’t wait to read it!

    12. Wonderful Post. I continue to completely enjoy your writing. Your spin on season 3 is over a kajillion times better than IC’s version! Thank you very much for writing!

    13. I haven’t even read the story yet because I saw your name and got all giddy. Your first story and especially your last story are still part of my favorite few. BRB after I read.

    16. it’s better, at least we know what’s happening in the lost 6 months…please, no henry or dead dana or other drama…just a little drama

    17. i have been saying it from day 1… tina is in a coma… she has to be … season 3 sucked… and everyone is so out of character… even helena ia nice… now where else would helena be so nice then in tina’s mind… we should be so lucky that this is how season4 starts.. with tina waking up… IC.. you listening…

    19. This story was so heartwrenching. Our family just went through this situation with my brother in-law. He lived in this state for one and half years before he finally left this earth. The patient can hear you and if they are able to will respond. It may just be blinking of the eyes, or a squeeze of the hand but they do hear you. Thank you for this take. I to am not happy with the 3rd season. Maybe in your story we can skip the whole guy thing.

    21. I’ve just bookmarked this to read when I have some free time a friend told me about this fic. And I have to say that I’m really intrigued I love that you’ve kept Bette and Tina together all while sorting out things and Tina’s post partum and them healing separately and together to be better for each other thank you for not having them break up I’m also intrigued on how you’re getting Tina’s family into it I can’t wait to read
