    Air Supply, Chapter 10

     

    “What?”

     

    “Bette…after you took her from the ICU to get herself collected…what happened?  What’s wrong?”

     

    “Oh.  I…I don’t know.”

     

    “What does THAT mean?  You talked to her didn’t you?”  (Tina looks at her confused.  Dr. Schmidt would typically respect the privacy inherent in Tina assisting Bette after her emotional episode because she’s not a patient.  Dr. Schmidt re-thinks things.)  “Sorry, I…I just…we’re concerned.  What can you tell me?”

     

    “I was interrupted by the page to the ER.  I didn’t manage to dig deeper to find out.  I think she was taken aback by not having recognized Marti, and Marti was very fond of her when she was here previously.  Bette had promised her that everything was going to be ok.  But now Bette was struck by the fact that she hadn’t even recognized her.  I guess she was feeling like she had somehow lost focus and was getting lost in the work and losing sight of what was important.  But I’m just speculating.  I’ll leave it there for now.  I asked her to speak with you and I think she might.”

     

    “That’s interesting.  She didn’t recognize Marti?”

     

    “Nope.  It’s interesting isn’t it?  It’s so easy to not see what’s directly in front of you, whether it’s important to you or not, you can function and just keep going without giving it a second thought…”

     

    “Yes, but eventually it hits you…”

     

    “It certainly does.  I think it triggered something for Bette.  But I’ll leave that for you to deal with.”

     

    “And what’s on the verge of being triggered with you, Dr. Kennard?”

     

    “ME?  Nothing.  I’m tired…”

     

    “Bullshit…”

     

    “WHAT?!”

     

    “Seems you’re having a healthy sex life though…with the plastic surgeon.  Any idea how Bette’s getting along in that department?”  (Tina looks at her with some shock…)  “Just wondering…”  (Tina’s face gets a little red) “…she gets a lot of action it seems, all over the hospital…which isn’t a newsflash for you, but just wondering if she’s found someone special…”  (Tina stands…in some anger…Madeleine continues to push…)  “Moving on is a difficult thing sometimes, and sometimes we make mistakes, slip up, and hurt people, including ourselves, all in the desperate attempt to escape the past and ‘move on’.”

    1. Mother McCree! The shit’s hitting the fan and the fan is on oscillate! Where’s my raincoat? Oops, shit, gotta go. I’m being paged to Bassey’s boardroom.

    2. Uh oh! Soooo bad, but soooo good. Hey Merlin so glad to see you posting your first one of 2008!!! A doozy at that. It’s obvious the feelings between this sensational couple runs very deep. If only they would just peel away all that superficial layers of bullsh*t and speak from the heart. They just might find that they both have been desiring the very same thing. Great stuff Merl, but….why the damn cliffhanger? LMAOO!!!! I know why. More soon.

    3. Let’s throw some missiles at one another and see how much we can hurt each other. WOW! I wish that they could reach for each other instead of slapping each other. Brilliant writing!

    4. In my little TiBette world, Tina is the only one for Bette. Hope she sees that in your story, which is great by the way. So glad to see an update..+

    5. Oh, dear. Things are getting messier by the second, cos they’re covering up what they obviously still feel for each other… they need to have an honest talk, maybe without the meddling of well-meaning mentors. Nice post, please continue soon TM. Cheers

    6. Yikes. No matter what the universe, these two have lots and lots of angst. Am I getting it right? Bette cheated on Tina? They must both be very good doctors for their seniors to put up with such antics. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
