Feeling safe and wanted again – Chapter 36
Chapter ThirtySix
“I have to call Bette’s brother, I… need to do that.” Tina says, trying to get out her cell-phone without waking Evan, who’s still sleeping in her arms.
“Here, let me take him.” Brad suggests, nodding towards Evan.
“Thank you.” Tina says and carefully hands him over. She takes out her cell-phone, stands up and walks a few yards down the hallway. She dials the number. Maryann picks up on the fifth ring.
“Tina? What… is something wrong?” She asks worriedly, looking over at the bedside clock, showing it’s 3 o’clock in the middle of the night.
Tina starts to sob and is having a hard time getting any words out.
“Tina? Has something happened? Please tell me.” Maryann says in a more demanding voice. She feels the hairs on her body raise, she fears the worst before Tina tells her what’s happened.
“Bette… she’s…. We’re in the hospital… she was shot… She’s in surgery, but they don’t know if she’ll make it… I’m so scared… I can’t lose her, I…” Tina gets out before she breaks down again.
In Chapel Hill
“Oh my God. Michael, get up. Bette’s in the hospital.” Maryann says, shaking her husband’s shoulder.
“What?” Michael asks, groggily.
“Bette’s in the hospital, she’s been shot. I have Tina on the phone.” Maryann says once more.
“Oh my God. Tell Tina we’ll be there in a few hours. We’ll book a flight. I’ll do that right away.” Michael says as he jumps out of the bed and runs downstairs to the phone.
“Tina, Michael is downstairs booking us on a flight. We’ll be there as soon as possible okay? Hang in there. Bette’s strong and she’ll be okay.” Maryann says, hoping to give Tina a little comfort. “And you too Tina, hang in there, okay? We’ll be there soon.” Maryann says.
“I’ll try. Thank you. We’ll see you soon.” Tina replies and they hang up. She walks back to Brad and Evan is still asleep.
“Her brother and his wife are on their way. They’ll be here in a few hours. They have to take a flight up here from Chapel Hill.” Tina says as she takes a seat beside Brad.
“She’s going to be okay Tina. She’s a fighter.” Brad says, trying to reassure her that it’s going to be okay.

Phew… So tensed when reading this! :-/ looking forward to your next chapter… :-) thanks!
OMG this is awesome, but looks like Bette is out of the most dangerous part of the woods for now, still got a long way to go.. What’s gonna happen to New York now though? :/ Great story Lauren, anyway, just for laughs, an ad for scar removal cream popped up when I was reading your story around the 2nd page hahaha!! :D Can’t wait for more!
Wow! What great writing … i could feel all the emotions. Thank you for this story.
Frightening and angsty chapter but Bette is a fighting woman and now with the Chicago Code, I can visualize how forceful and tough she can be.You’re not going to put her in a wheelchair?
Tough subject. Glad she made it through surgery, now it’s just a waiting game. She’s a fighter which is obvious, having come back from them losing her twice during surgery. She is fighting hard to stay with Tina and Evan, so hopefully she will be okay. Thanks for posting.
Come on,Bette will be o.k.Tina and her son need her.Great story Lauren,PPS.
Hey Lauren, This really is tense stuff. What a drama-rama. I have been on the edge of my seat as Tina goes through every emotion known to man. Her love for Bette is so strong and yet she can’t help her in this dark time. I hope things work out soon as my poor nerves can’t take much more. It is so sweet to have all her famiy and friends in the hospital waiting for news. Bette must survive even if there is a lond recovery I am sure that Tina will be there. Perhaps this will be Tina’s chance to be the strong one. I can’t hold out mush longer. Thanks for all this action and intensity. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
