“I’m all alone and I feel so desperate right now, Tee. I will do anything. . .everything to turn all of this around for all of us. Josh, Tina and I talked about it—we have no desire to press charges. We’ll make sure that Dr. McPherson re-hires you. He’s engaged to Tina’s sister. He’ll listen to us. This can be like it never happened.” On one hand, Bette believed what she was saying. In her head, she heard Ven. Rajani talking about how we’re all extensions of each other. She tried to pull that thought closer to her, but there was the other side—she was infuriated that someone, anyone would mess with the people who held the most value in her heart and soul. She wanted to twist him inside-out for that. “Please?”
The front door swung open with Tina standing directly in front of Josh who was obviously taking precautions and using her as a shield from cops and Bette. Bette looked at them and said softly, “Thank you.”
Tina was taken aback that Bette was actually at the door. She had assumed that while they were going to the door, Bette would be sneaking in the back and getting Angelica. Blinking her eyes and showing her surprise, she stared at Bette who smiled back at her.
At that same moment, Boden turned the knob on the back door and stealthily moved inside, into the kitchen.

The phone rang at the Porter-Kennard house. Melabranche looked down at the number and didn’t recognize it. He picked up and said nothing.
“Hello?”
“Who is this?”
“It’s Dr. McPherson. I was calling to check on Tina and to speak with Theresa, if I could? Any word about Angelica?”
“No, sir.”
“Is Tina still sleeping?”
“She woke up a long time ago, Henry,” Theresa said. “Now she’s gone. She left the house and everyone here is claiming ignorance of her whereabouts.”
“What? That doesn’t make sense. Where could she have gone?”
Kit looked nervously at Officer Melabranche and her friends.
“Do you know something?” Meaabranche’s eyes were on her.
“Uh, I don’t know how they did it, but Bette and Tina are in Big Bear.”

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
