Laid Up: Another Season 3 – Chapter Four
“We try to spend as much time as possible here, but I’m also promoting some art exhibitions and preparing for an opening as a favor.”
“A favor? You don’t have a real job?”
“No. With Tina in this condition, I think it’s…” Angelica whimpered, then began to cry which irritated Collie to no end.
“I take it you don’t have a crib here?” Every question this woman asked sounded like a judgment on Bette’s ability as a mother, as a partner, as a productive member of society.
Tina lay in the bed, ignored as Bette and Roberta Collie exchanged frowns and sneers.
“I think you may want to put that baby down and help me up these steps,” demanded the handicapped and wheelchair-bound social worker named Roberta Collie.
“Well, we don’t really put her down, but I think we’ll be okay.” Bette’s voice was kind and welcoming. She held Angelica, while Kit and Tina helped pull the woman in her wheelchair up the stairs.
Roberta’s response was rude. “What do you mean you don’t put her down?”
We’re practicing, “Bette began. “Attachment parenting,” Tina said in unison with Bette.
“Well, I say, anything that can be attached can be detached, so why don’t you detach the baby, put her in her crib for a few minutes so you don’t drop me.”
Bette stared at Ms. Collie. Surely this idiot bitch didn’t think that Angelica and Bette lived here twenty-four hours per day. “We don’t have a crib… here, but….”
“We bought one, but it became apparent that we weren’t going to use it, so we donated to a family in East LA. That’s where I work,” Mama Tee explained to her while helping her into the house.
“No crib.” Collie jotted something on her forms.
“Ms. Collie?” Bette said.
“Roberta.”
“Roberta, please have a seat. We can go over the papers.”
“I don’t need to sit. I can’t make any kind of decision here. With the birth mother practically a vegetable…”
“Her name is Tina. Tina Kennard. And she isn’t a vegetable. She’s in a temporary coma. She is the birth mother, but we are both Angelica’s parents.”

I’m finally caught up darlin’ and as always P, you ROCK! I knew this would be good, simply ’cause it’s coming from you. I do love the way you dig deep and uncover the mess – unafraid to take on the task of doing the dirty work, which we all know TPTB can’t seem to do. I much prefer your version then the junk that hit the airwaves, which btw did nothing more then churn up my stomach acid – LOL! Thank you for keeping the characters true.Looking forward to more – especially Carmen and Shane *whistling innocently*
