This was familiar to Bette. She had been down this road before. Everything, strangely the same, the initial shock, the helpless anxiety, the exact numbness. But, with all that familiar energy, this time, just beneath the surface, rested an ache that was new, an ache she had never felt before.
Tina threw her arm across Bette’s legs and said, “What are you doing?”
“Tina, this is curable. Bone marrow, stem cell…”
“Yes, and the perfect donor for me died from it ten years ago, Bette. So, shut the computer and go to sleep if you’re staying.”
Tina turned her back to Bette and covered her face with a pillow. “Your father had it?” Bette closed the laptop and putting it to the side, slid her body against Tina’s back. “I didn’t know—but then, I guess there is a lot I don’t know because you never told me.”
“Well, now you know everything. Congratulations.”
Bette slowly pulled the pillow from Tina’s grip, and kissed at her face as it dropped to the floor. “It also said that strangers can donate the stem cells and bone marrow.” Tina remained unmoved, and draped an arm over her eyes to shield out the light. “This is exactly why I didn’t want you to know.”
“Look at me,” Bette said, directing Tina’s chin toward her. “I’m not going anywhere. I am a hundred percent in this with you.”
“Oh, great, and how is that supposed to make me feel when I don’t even want to be in this.” Tina pushed Bette’s arm away and sat up. “I mean, you’re already looking at me like I’m dead, or it’s only a matter of time before I am. Jesus, Bette.”
Bette rolled her eyes. “You don’t get to be mad at me, Tina, this is too new for me. And I’m hardly looking at you like that, so, don’t you even…” Bette stood up and walking in front of Tina, knelt to face her. “You came looking for me. What did you really want from me?”
“What are you saying,” Tina asked. “Do you wish I left you alone, now that you know?”

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! everything seems to be pointing to a recovery(i hope). Bette will be there with her “T” all the way…
Let’s hope Dr. Wilson and Bette can help Tina. They’ve both been thru so much to lose it all again. Looking forward to the next chapter. :) PPS
I’ll PM U.
Aww please may Bette be able to help Tina. and will she tell her she’s in love with her already! PPS
I hope Bette will be able to help Tina out without too much pain! Looking forward to the next chapter.
Ditto everything everyone has said! great update! :)PPS
Hope Bette can help
Great update. Looking forward to more.
between 6 and 7 is it safe to assume that Bette did leave T alone and the events of this chapter was a day or so later????? and how come Bette has her pants and shirt off,….did they do the horizontal mambo and you left that out???? PLEASE SAY NO….u have got to write an NC17
Wonderful as always. Thanks and pps.
Another great chapter. One ot the things I especially admire about your writing is your ability to move the story forward. Scenes are skipped but the missing scenes are completely unnecessary because we are able to tell what we “missed” from what you include. It takes incredible discipline to not overwrite. Sorry that I am being even more inarticulate than usual. In case you can’t tell, I am a big fan and was trying to leave a big compliment. Honest.
Really teriffic story! It has my attention from start to finish in every chapter. It would be so cool if it was determined that Bette was indeed a match for Tina.
Umm…I’m guessing Shane to be the donor match???
Been following this story and I like it very much, just don’t want Tina to die.PPS
Hope Bette can help. Very good chapter just caught up. Thanks PPS
I sure hope that Bette is a match and if not her someone else is. I would hate to see Bette fall in love and lose that love before it starts.
There’s a lot Bette can do, without being a donor match even coming into it… (it would be funny if say like, Shane was a perfect match) Kit’s right, Tina’s likely terrified, and Bette maybe just needs to be there and offer unconditional support and her love. Anyway, this is a great story, gp. Looking forward to your next post.
was a little lost there…did they sleep together?? I can understand if you were too nervous to write that scene just need to know if it happened for future reference…changes the dynamics of a relationship, ya know. Great story and I sure hope you post more very soon.
