It’s not just being in love, darling. I care so deeply for you. I don’t want you to fret about anything. I’m coming there to protect you and care for you. I can’t wait to hold you.

She logged off. Helena packed up her things and left The Planet. Tina and Bette were in the middle of a crisis, but today was indeed a good day for her. She thought about that as she slid into her car and pulled out of the Planet’s small parking lot. She was on her way to the future she had always dreamed.

1:40 pm
Tina paced between the kitchen and living room. Sandwiches that Dana and Alice had made remained untouched on a platter on the counter.
“Tina, honey, why don’t you take a seat and rest? You don’t want to get sick,” Theresa said.
Tina glared at her, hoping to stop her mother from speaking again.
“Honey, please. Rest. Have a sandwich. You need to keep your strength up. You need to. . .”
“Mom, shut up. Your voice is grating on me.” Tina’s voice was crystal clear. Anger at her mother had her words coming out with perfect enunciation.
The room went silent as everyone turned to Tina.
“Tina,” Kit admonished.
Tina ignored Kit and turned to Theresa. “I mean it. I can’t take it. Angie would be hea-ah if you had watched her. That’s all you had to do. Jesus. Don’t say anything!” Tina threw her hands up. “Don’t say anoth-ah-er word. I mean it.”
Theresa could understand an outburst like this from Bette, but from her daughter who was always so amiable, it was shocking. “I. . .I. . .”
“Maybe just go to the gues’ room. Maybe just go back there.”
Kit looked sadly at Theresa. “Yeah, maybe you should. . .for a while.”
Tina rolled her eyes. “Yeah, listen to Kit.”
Theresa’s eyes darted around the room. Almost everyone had lowered their heads. Alice watched to see what she’d do or say. “All right.” Theresa sighed. “All right, Tina. I don’t want you to be gettin’ upset. Know that I feel worse.”

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
