Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter 31 (Conclusion and Epilogue)
“What?”
“Yes, she did. Too many Mexicans. I was like, do you know where you are?” He said with an accent that would do a Chicano proud, “California. Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Pasadena, where the hell do you think those names came from?’ I think I really insulted her when I told her she needed to pick up a high school American History book and take a look at who was living here first.”
“You didn’t?”
“I did. I was in a mood already. I didn’t need to hear her bitching about the place.” Mo shook his head and opened a container of walnuts that were on the counter. He poured a few into his hand. “I knew that I should never have asked her to go to Disneyland last year. After that, she thought we were a lot more serious in this relationship. She was ready to get married. Christmas, Easter, her birthday, all of June, she was pissed each time an occasion passed and she didn’t get a ring.”
“What are you waiting for?”
“I don’t wanna get married. Not to her.”
“Then you need to stop wastin’ her time. If you know she wants it, let her go find it somewhere else.”
“I’ve hinted around. I mean…” Mo grabbed a handful of raw almonds that were in a jar on the counter and popped a couple in his mouth. He chewed, then said, “Shouldn’t she be able to figure it out? I don’t want her.”
“Are you gettin’ busy with her?”
Mo rolled his eyes and looked away.
“Luisa’s a woman over fifty. She’s not all about just gettin’ down with you. Either you move it to the next step or cut her loose.”
“She should get the message.”
“Mo, you bein’ a dog.”
“I am not.”
“Then stop fuckin’ with her.”
“I’ll tell her after we get back home. I’ll just tell her that we want different things and that we should call it quits. I don’t wanna ruin Thanksgiving with a bunch of drama.”
Luisa was standing at the door. “I’ll save you the drama, Clayton.”
Mo’s head whipped around. “Luisa.”
“Could I have the keycard to the hotel room? I’ll be gone before you get back.” She held out her hand.

Dear PortiaOnly – What an amazing journey; your dedication to this fic and your fanbase is remarkable. I know I’m going to love reading this last part, but before I do I just wanted to offer you this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxAKFlpdcfc ‘Brava!’ & ‘Thank You!’
Portia, congrats on finishing this epic! I will always be a fan, and I was very happy to be one of the people to encourage you, and who knows–maybe you’ll have another fanfic in you that will need to come out! You’ve inspired so many of the writers here, so thank you, and I hope we’ll see you around!xoxo
wow what can i say, this story has been the best time and time again and i can say that i’ve enjoyed every bit of it, though I’m extremely sad that this is it for laid up. My favourite couple have obviously been dana and alice, and you’ve written them and their story just perfectly, how it should have been, for me anyway. For every chapter, page and word….THANK YOU PORTIA!!!!!!!!!!! xox

Oh PortiaOnly I can only say a heart felt Thank you for brining us this impressive and comprehensive epic. I have ready this story from the start. It has always amazed me how you wound the pieces of the series into this complete work. I love where you have taken all of them and how it was so true to the characters we have know. Thanks for all you hard work.
Portia, thank you so much for this epic love story. I’m happy that all of the characters are happy and content. The loop holes that the show had created, you have thoroughly patched. That for me is remarkable. Jenny’s death in season 5 and her magazine being thrown in the pool – what can I say, your attention to detail is a gold standard in fanfic. Kudos to you and also Wendy for creating this wonderful story.
Just a big thanks for taking us on this great journey, it’s been a blast…
Thank you so much for this great story, I will truly miss it.
Thank you for this story. What an (appreciated) effort.
Thanks so much for sharing this incredible journey with us. This is one of the best and engaging stories I have ever read. You are an remarkable talent!!
Thank you for this story. What an undertaking! You got all the main characters involved and kept me interested. And more importantly, you finished it. I love that!
i know i’ve yet to comment on this fic and i’m sorry but i gotta tell ya it was incredible…u had like 5 stories goin at once and did em all fantastically…cheers to u Portia u did a great job!!!!
I read this chapter as slowly as I could so that I could savor every word of it. It was worth me taking the time, although I was fully aware that each time I clicked “Next page” I was that much closer to the finish. This was a fantastic end to such a richly layered story. Everyone got their ending, and each and every one of them earned it… the struggles each couple/family had to overcome to get to their happiness made it all the more believable. You didn’t cheat, Portia, not the readers, not the story. This has been such an absolute treat to read, through all the highs and lows, and I’ve loved every single word of it. (And kudos for not forgetting Jenny this chapter! heh) Thank you, Portia, for writing this story and taking us on the journey with you. Take care, and I hope we see another story from you soon.
WOW… what a story… i have been with you from the beginning and loved it all… in a way sorry to see it end… but i understand… BTW… bette and tina live near me now, just about an hour away… how cool is that…lol… again congrats on this story… who knows you may be back with a sequel or another story… we will all be here ready, willing to read anything you write… thanks and take care… please come back to us soon… later babe

Hello PortiaOnly, This story has been an absolute joy to read. It has taken much time and dedication from you to create a momentous melodrama.So many of the images and scenes including dialogue where taken from the show and seemlessly interweaved in to your take on events.I stand up and applaud you and your wonderful talent.Thank you ever so much for sharing it with me.Your Loyal Fan.PS – I hope that you continue to write about these characters and post your work here.
well after about a month and a half im finally finish with your story and as I wrote you before I truly believe you are a gift to writing and taking readers along for the experience. I had to stop several times for work or sleep but it was well worth the time. I prolonged finishing the last chapter didn’t want t see it end, but like the L word, like tibette chemistry, all good things but come to end….Bravo!! my friend I hope to see a book with your name on it forreal..til next story………

Well done you are quite a Writer! Perhaps the new Sow will inspire you to pick up tour talented pen again.
Thank you

PortiaOnly- I hope you receive this message so many years after writing this incredible story but I had to tell you, this is by far one of the most amazing L Word stories I’ve ever read. You did an absolutely remarkable job with this. The story telling, the storyline, the interweaving of the characters, seasons, cannon and AU was beyond incredible. You have amazing talent and I hope to read more of your incredible work. Amazingly done!
