(Bette was walking to her next stop at the ER to see if she could assist with a trauma emergency when her pager interrupted, as it had so often. She looked at the number…it was clear who was summoning her. She thought to herself as to what it might be…she always got nervous when this number came up on the display…it never failed to unsettle her. She took the elevator and went to the 8th floor. Bette walked through the hallways, not quickly but at a fairly brisk pace. She came finally to the destination.)
JASMINE- “Go ahead doctor, she’s waiting for you.” (Bette smiles and nods. She knocks and enters. She closes the door behind her and stands in front of the desk. Dr. Bailey is wearing her bifocals and apparently reviewing something. Bette was feeling uneasy. Almost always, Dr. Bailey would motion to the chair so that Bette would sit…not so today. Bailey stopped reading. She looked up at Bette over the bifocals. The look was piercing.)
BAILEY- “What do you think you’re doing?”
BETTE- “Sorry?”
BAILEY- “What the hec do you think you’re doing? Not that you didn’t hear me the first time!”
BETTE- “Doctor Bailey I…” (The loudspeaker interrupts…the speaker over the sound system heralded the import of a frenetic moment with the weight of an intense female voice…)
VOICE- “Code blue, ICU, code blue…” (Bette’s pager goes off and they both look at one another…)
BAILEY- “You go, I’ll be down if needed…” (Bette hurries off to the ICU.
Nurse Betty was helping Dr. Amertadi who just arrived get vitals from the young blonde Jane Doe. Betty was a veteran, and a kind one…she prompted Amertadi with helpful pointers as they worked to get the situation under control. A few moments later, Bette ran through the halls after having gotten the page and arrived as Amertadi was administering a drug to the patient…)
BETTE- “What do have?” (Amertadi lists the ailments and Nurse Betty interrupts…)
NURSE BETTY- “Pressure’s falling doctors…” (The doors swing open and Dr. Madeleine Schmidt and Dr. Kennard, who were at the nurse’s station across the hall came in.)
MADELEINE- “Where’s the rest of your team?”

Good to see an update Merlin! Bette is unbeleivable sometimes. ALthough I love Bette it served her right in being dismissed. She must not care all that much about Amertadi, which is too bad because I liked them toegther. As for Tina, I am in the minority with NOT wanting a reunion but would like to know more about their past realtionship. I hope you post real soon! lol
i want a REUNION :)
I really enjoyed this update, by page 7 I didn’t want it to end.
Hey there Merlin, I love your stories so, of course, I’m still reading. I almost feel sorry for Bette, self-absorbed as she is sometimes, seems like she’s about to get a tongue-lashing from all sides! Your author’s note left me thinking and brought to mind the saying that happiness is not getting what you want, but wanting what you already have. Take care.
Who’s a stranger? Maybe Bette won’t be in so much hot water with the boss with Amertadi giving her the kiss off. Is it permanent? Why shouldn’t it be with Dr. Kennard on the scene? You know it’s not that I don’t like the senior staff, it’s just I don’t much care for authority figures meddling in the private affairs of adults who are their professional juniors. Merlin, believe me, I know being alone is no picnic, but what many fail to realize that there ARE worse things. Like settling for less. Keep your chin and your standards up.
Great chapter Merlin! I think Bette just got dumped! Yeh!! Now maybe she & Tina can start to talk. PPS!!
This is why I prefer to just not date anyone from work. Well, not like I have that problem anyway seeing as I’m the only lesbian where I work. lol I’m with B&TF. I want a reunion! ;)
Glad that you are back. I have missed this story. I am glad that Emma has seen through Bette. Did Bette leave Tina or vise versa? Of course being a Tibetter at heart I will always want them together, no matter what. I too have been alone for many years, sometimes it is better and other times it drives me insane. Oh yeah I am already insane.
Ido believe that Emma just blew Bette off. Would like to know why the break up between Bette and Tina. Lets go with the flow of your story and get our Bette and Tina together but not soon as then the story would end. thanks
Merl, loving it as usual. The banter between Bette and Em was serious, and yet at one point, after Em keeps referencing their sexual encounters as “f*cking”, Bette finishes it for her. That caused me to chuckle. The story is brilliantly laid out and being developed. Thank you for sharing your creative mind with us, as well as taking the time to do shout outs. On a personal note, I hope that wherever you are in your life, you are able to find some belief that you are where you are meant to be “at this moment.” That doesn’t mean that it can’t change tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. I truly believe we are all learning lessons in life with what we experience. Take care Merl, and always try to look for the positive, because believe it or not somewhere even in those darkest moments, there is a slice of it there. We just need to find it. ((((( HUGS )))))
Hey Merl, thanks for the update. Bette can be so self-absorbed sometimes. Amertadi is so right to get pissed off, and I can’t wait for Tina to put in her two cents worth and Bailey also. Sounds like Bette is about to get hit by a truck (lol). Maybe she should do a tour in psych. to learn behavior modification techniques. Don’t stay away too long!
I’m still reading…how could I not be? Your writing is too good to miss! Thanks!
What a tangled web you weave….and I’m thankful for that!!!
Glad to see an update from you Merlin. What a story. I wish Bette and Tina would get together at some point :-)
Hey Merl, Great to have you back with this exciting post. I love all of the shenanigans and messing around. Now more of Bette and Tina’s past needs to be revealed. Just lapping it all up. Thank you so much for returning and continuing this most excellent tale. Your Loyal Fan.
