FOREVER I PROMISE: Chapter Twelve – part eight

It has been almost a month since Bette was kidnapped by Candace. Bettes last check up showed the swelling in her brain had completely gone away. She was almost back to her normal self. Well as normal as can be expected after brain surgery and chemo every week. And still a few Damn Fine when she got stressed and tried to talk to fast. Speech therapy ended since Bette was doing so well. Physical therapy continued a bit longer trying to help Bette regain the full use of her right arm.

Bette still meets with Jennifer once a week to talk about what happened. This week they are getting ready for the trial. Now that Bette is coming back around to her old self. What happened gets tough for her to handle sometimes. She is still afraid sometimes. Mad as ***** other times. Pissed at herself for being so stupid getting in the car. Thats when I have to remind her. Things were not her fault then. She had no control over someone taking advantage of her in her state of mind. That seems to work most times.

We have a Paint the Babys room coming up tomorrow. Dr. Wilson said I cant be around the fumes and with Bettes chemo the smell makes her sick. So everyone is coming over to decorate and have a cook out.

Whit, the cop and Dr. Bruch, Bettes doctor have been dating for several weeks now. Seems they got past their stubbornness and realized they really like each other. I think its a control issue. Cop versus Doctor.

Bette and I still havent made love since before Provocations. We have actually spent more time talking than we ever have before. Still I miss that bond between us when we made love. Even though I had forgiven Bette for the affair, we still had a lot of issues to work out. Bette was insistent upon working through it together. Jennifer has been a great help in the department as well helping Bette regain some of her confidence since the attack.

Well I am glad you really dont understand what I’m saying. I just want you to hear my voice every day so that you know how much I love you. You are my precious sweet little girl. Mommy and I cant wait for you to get here. Dont tell mommy how much we talk. Shed be jealous. Well I love you sweetie. I better go wake Mommy before Jennifer gets here.
