“What if he says no? What if he’s upset that we’re here?”
“He’ll say no, I’m sure. Why you guys debate that, I can get Angie. That’s why we came, Tee. Let’s just do it. You get him talking at the door and I’m going to try to get Angelica from back here. She’s just a few feet from us. Right in the kitchen. Right in the back.”
“I-I’m scared.”
In the distance, a car door closed, but Bette and Tina didn’t hear.
“Tee, go ahead. Get him talking. Don’t even look at Angelica. Focus on him. Talk to him. You’re good at that, baby. You know how to deal with him. I’ll get our little girl.”
Tina nodded, but fear consumed her. She moved farther into the woods, next to his car, found Josh’s number in her list, and scrolled down to it. She pushed ‘Send.’
“Hello?”
“Joss, it’s Tina.”
“I know that.”
“Joss, Ah have something to tell you.”
“What?”
Bette motioned for Tina to go around to the front. “Sit on his steps, but face the cabin, Tee,” Bette whispered. “Tell him to look out the window. That there are no cops anywhere and then tell him the other stuff.”
“What?” Josh said again.
Tina ran around the side of the cabin and then sat on the steps. “Joss?”
“What? What? What?”
“I want mah dau-tah.”
“I decided on the money.” He nodded his head nervously, blinking his eyes, and shifting them left and right. “I decided. Thirty thousand. Not millions or even hundreds of thousands. I want thirty thou. I was at your place. You guys can afford it.”
“Joss? Ah’m here. Ah’m sitting on yo-ah steps. Bette is in the cah. If you look out, she is across the field in the cah. Ah’m by mahself, but she wants to talk to you. She wants to tell you how sah-ry she is. Buh I need to talk to you fuhst.” Tina continued to portray her speech as much worse than it was. She wanted him to feel less threatened by her, highlighting it to show a presumed weakness.
“You’re where?”

i am once again left speechless at your incredible ability to weave a tale. i actually yelped in excitement when Angie was safe but at the same time, believe it or not, felt somewhat sorry for Josh. only your writing could evoke that somewhat schizophrenic sympathy.I’m also a bit worried at the introduction of Jodi into the story but hope that after all that we’ve been through with Bette and Tina to date, she will not pose a threat to their relationship.as for all of the other characters and their stories, i am finding them entertaining and interesting as well which is not usually the case when reading as i’m pretty much just a Tina/Bette fan. this again, is testimony to your ability to ability to entertain.thanks again for the story and the time and effort that must be involved. looking forward as always to reading more.
WOW. you put so much into this everyone was weitten about. Could have done without Jodie tho. thanks
I’ve spent the past two days reading the whole thing, and honestly? It’s great. Really, really great. The characters are well written and adhere to canon, your reweaving of the events of Season 3 into this alternative version is not only really well done, but in my mind — preferable. As for the Jodi issue, if she’s like every other non-core character in your work (herself, but changed), I’ll be very happy to see where that goes. I do wonder, though, moments after Bette is reunited with Tina and her baby for the first time in weeks, she wanders off to talk to Jodi? That seems a little… I don’t know, inhuman? But, hey, if that’s my only complaint in 26 chapters, consider it an amazing feat. I’m a huge Danish fan, and I’m happy to see you keeping the love alive. Would love to see more of that relationship in your writing, but generally I think the chapters are fairly good about being even with their time. You’re prolific. Are you really spitting out this much in three days? Because if so, that’s incredible. I mean, really, really exceptional. Thanks for writing this, it’s a great read, and I can’t wait to see more of it.
more sharmeeeeeen!!! pleasee!!..excellent chap, so glad angie’s ok, hope you post soon
Thank goodness Angelica is safe. I’m glad Boden was there. Um, not too excited about Jodi showing up in this story :). Can’t wait for the celebration…hope everyone gets a little ‘private celebration’ time :wink:. You’ve really spoiled us this last week Portia. Thanks for this wonderful fic and don’t be gone too long :)
Nice way to weave Jodi and Big Bear into the story – and loved that Bette denied ‘gush’ing. Great stuff, Portia.
Bette better mess up of jodi!! yeah for angie being okay… now it’s time for the port-kennards to get on with their lives. tina needs to finish her rehab.i wonder what else steph. did what else is she hiding??? great update!!:)
Ahhhh… I can breathe now. That was tense, but Baby A is safe, finally! I’m so glad there was a third person there and Boden clocked that whining maggot Josh. Although, I think Bette would have ripped him apart eventually anyway. Hels is leaving, which is a shame, but her heart’s somewhere else… So! Ol’ Steph’s about to get her comeuppance, big time. I hope Peter gets his money back, as well as his furniture. I’m dreading the stuff coming out that was on that list of hers. Girl needs help, if she can survive prison. This was so good, I can’t wait for the next post. thanks Portia.
glad angie is ok…can’t wait for shane to get home and face the wrath of carmen…things need to change
