Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter 31 (Conclusion and Epilogue)
“Helena?” Bette said as she opened the screen door to let the four women inside. “Welcome back.
Tina leaned in and kissed Dylan on both cheeks. “Happy Thanksgiving. Come on in.”
“Bette Porter?”
“Peggy Peabody.” Bette smiled affectionately at the older woman. Why they called each other by both first and last name whenever they saw each other was an unknown, but it seemed that they’d done it since they first met in Santa Barbara. “Come in, come in.”
Marilyn said, “It smells wonderful in here. Just like Thanksgiving should smell.”
Everyone was inside and they were standing near the front door. Bette looked out at Boden who seemed perfectly fine double-parked on their small residential street. “Uh…is he going to move the limo?”
Peggy glanced out. “I don’t believe he is.”
“He can’t just park there.”
Peggy waved Bette away dismissively. “Of course, he can.” She said and then grabbed Marilyn’s hand and headed out to the patio where the sound of people and music could be heard.
Helena and Dylan stood with Bette and Tina. “Tina, you look smashing. Absolutely lovely.”
“You were always a sucker for a pregnant woman.”
Dylan turned to Helena in surprise. “Huh?”
“Tina was pregnant when I first met her.” Helena’s eyes flitted across the room looking for an object to change the subject. Her eyes came back to Bette. “I love that dress, Bette. It looks beautiful on you.”
Tina’s arm went around Bette’s waist. “It does. She looks amazing.” Tina’s hand moved away from Bette’s waist, down to her lower back, and then lower until she massage Bette’s butt through the dress. Tina felt a bit of excitement announce itself between her legs with the thought of Bette being completely naked under that dress. No panties, no bra, just skin. “Amazing.”
“Thank you,” Bette said. She casually tried to move Tina’s hand, but Tina wasn’t budging. She rubbed and rubbed her ass until Bette grew so uncomfortable she slid away from Tina’s touch. “Let’s go outside.”

Shay was playing with some of Angelica’s blocks and helping her build a fort or cabin or something. Angelica chewed on the corner of a block as she watched him.
A few feet away, Alice was talking to Carmen. “Did you do this mix playlist? I like it.”

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

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!
