Laid Up: Another Season 3–Chapter 25B
“You know it, Steph.” He grinned and then lifted her head to kiss her lips. “You’re so amazing.” She tightened around his dick and he grunted. They rested like that together for a minute and then Stephanie lifted, freeing herself from their intimate embrace.
As she drifted off beside him she thought about how happy she was with Henry. She accepted the fact that she’d never experience a great sexual experience with her doctor lover, but it wasn’t his fault. She was never going to let a man get that close, but Henry was going to get closer than most. He was exactly what she’d been waiting for—he had money and that was saying a lot since they were in Los Angeles, one of the most expensive places to live in the U.S. of A; he was good looking, charming, a professional with a thriving practice, and a kind heart. He wouldn’t hurt her. The added bonus was once they married, she would have a ready-made family. She’d never have to be pregnant. Henry had his kid. There wouldn’t be another. Stephanie knew she would have to find work or at least pretend to be looking. Her plan was to be a professional wife to him—manage his social calendar, host lavish parties for other doctors, be seen at movie premieres.
Henry pulled her towards him, so that she was resting against his side just before his light snores filled his bedroom in the Hollywood Hills. Stephanie thought about the big mistake she had almost made—Peter–brawny, country, boring Peter. The boredom would have killed her. The guy thought about football, working out, listening to rap music, and hanging with his friends. She had wanted the money, but had never wanted his hip hop mentality. She had planned on tolerating it and living a separate life. Now, she wouldn’t have to. Everything was falling into place. Henry was what she wanted. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I love you, Hen.”
He hugged her and said, “I love you, too.” He wanted her to believe that. At some point, he was going to have to ask her about the thing her mother had told him. Stephanie had to trust him to love her in spite of that horrible history; trust that he wouldn’t hurt her or desert her and that he would never think less of her because she was a victim of rape. They were in synch, she just had to let him in emotionally.

Oh. My. God. That was freaking awesome, but WHO TOOK BABY A?!? Already, it seems like a hours ago that I was laughing at Al and Dane and the armpit licking, and Bette whooping as she left the retreat, and wondering what Carmen was gonna do after she ran out of beers to pour out, and hoping Henry didn’t yell once that EEG showed Tina’s been dodging the pills, and hoping that Steph didn’t get too crazy with the vengeance, and that Hels would hear some news about Dylan and that Peggy would help her daughter track Dylan down, and fanning myself over that call of Bette’s that didn’t quite make it to voicemail, and cheering on Al and Carmen’s rescue of Dana from that Aryan-esque creep-all freaking bloody AWESOME- because all I can think about now is that SOME NUTJOB-Steph? Josh? Marcus?-TOOK ANGELICA! For the love of all things, I so hope you’re posting soon, Portia. But still, this was so good I have to say it thrice, AWESOME! Thank you for the chapter. I literally cannot wait for the next chapter. Cheers
Loved the quote: Gladwell who told a story that a friend of his told him: ‘to a worm in a jar of horseradish, the whole world is horseradish.’ … Glad you’re turning S3 & S4 horseradish into something far more palatable… ;-)
This was beyond belief, every time you post you amaze me, your writing is without fault, exceptional, brilliant, outstanding. My head is swimming…I see the season being what it should have been, thankyou. I know you take a while between posts, obviously it takes time to write…but plspls if you could don’t leave us hanging too long…really it’s going to kill me to wait…but I will, every patiently…THANKYOU PORTIA
Bette’s struggles at the Buddhist retreat, her desperate, heartbreaking attempts to communicate with Tina, that amazing “voicemail,” and all the other storylines are a tour de force, pure and simple. How totally cool to discover that you drew on Ossie Davis’s own words in your wonderfully rich portrayal of Melvin. Missing Baby A, needless to say, is a cliffhanger extraordinaire. A huge thanks for the effort you’ve put into this awesome story.
thanks! the time and effort that must go into this is unbelievable. please know how much i look forward to one of your updates.
What an absolutely brilliant story you continue to weave! I am awed that you are able to develop each character so fully. Loved, loved, loved your description of Bette lost in her memories of their reconnection during the ultrasound and subsequent afternoon delight. So sizzling hot while tender at the same time. Great read, Portia!
oh no, not the baby…what a cliffhanger…please,please keep the baby safe and get bette home asap…great as always
what a chapter… there was so much… stephine is a nut case… henry is at times not all there either… and i’m glad tina is getting better… all those meds… damm… enough is enough… but now to the important part… WHO THE HELL TOOK ANGIE… i hope it was maybe alice or shane and they just turn around with her in their arms… it better not be josh… if it is… well he will be dead in the next chapter… PPS…
First, I must say thank you for this extraordinary chapter. I’ve been home sick for three days and barely able to focus on anything but your 82 pages (damn, 82 pages!) kept me awake and reading. For some reason I had thought that you were finishing this story with this chapter (I don’t know why I thought that) so I was really excited to see that this wasn’t the end. I know how much time and effort it takes to write just two or three pages so I am truly impressed with this magnum opus!!
I’m leaving a comment in advance as there’s no way I can read 82 pages right now. FUCKING AWESOME! I didn’t even have to read the chapter to know that. lol
Wow!That was awesome! by far this is the longest psot I have ever reading! If your not thinking about a book please do so. You have some awesome talent!!! As for Baby, the suspects were set-up perfectly! Stephanie, Josh, Marcus. But you know I somepoint I had a feeling this would happen and for some reason I had Theresa as the perptrator! Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Amazing, this chapter was just amazing the journeys you take us on in Bette’s memory are priceless. The advice her father gave her to the different expereinces between her parents have all been such amazing insight. Excellent. I just needed to tell you what an awesome job you’ve done. Thanks for writing it.
i can’t wait for the next chapter either this story is the bomb i enjoy stories that includes most of the gang..the arm licking was funny, weird but i thought it was cute lol :) grrrrrrreat work you do danish so well!!!
Fabulous! Please don’t let anything happen to Angelica, especially cuz her mama B is on her way home. I don’t know how either women could cope without her. Bring Dylan back for poor Helena. And tell Carmen to get that stick out of her butt :). Love, love, loved it! Can’t wait for more! Thanks Portia
