“And THAT’S the perspective you want me to accept???”
“Yes. Why? What’s so wrong with what I’ve just said Emma?”
She’s agitated, “Bette…” Her words don’t come to her trippingly off the tongue.
“What?” Emma retreats a bit into the bedroom as Bette follows slowly. Emma faces her bed and then slowly turns around to face Bette.
“Bette, I’m not dating you…I’m not just sleeping with you. I think about you much more than I’ve cared before to admit…daily…almost constantly.” She shakes her head as her voice intensifies… “I look forward to seeing you, almost all the time, and I’m disappointed when it doesn’t happen. I want to be with you…all the friggin time. I cherish you…I yearn for you…I relish being in your arms and hate being away from that embrace I’ve come to look forward to so much.” Bette stares at her. Emma seems to know what those eyes tell her and Bette is realizing what that is. Emma’s eyes are moistened by the recognition. She shakes her head a bit and sort of smiles, “You’re not there with me…are you?”
(Back at Tina’s place, she’s having a drink at the kitchen table after putting Angelica to sleep.)
Shane takes a sip of the beer Tina gave her and touches Tina’s arm, “Hey…”
“Mmmm?”
“What’s up doc Kennard?”
“Nothing…just long week so far I guess.”
“I hate to try and headshrink a shrink but…what’s on your mind? You seem troubled, or at least in deep thought.”
Smiling, “Yoda you psyche master…” Shane chuckles. “Frig, I don’t know. I’m just tired…long week, like I said.” Shane looks at her, as though waiting for clarification. “What? You don’t believe me?”
“Hey, I’m just here to lend an ear and enjoy my friend’s company. But I don’t get the sense you’re telling me everything.”
“Mmmm. But believe me…if I knew what ails me, I think I’d share…especially with you. I could use some wisdom.”
“Ails you? So you’re unhappy?”
“I kinda feel agitated, tired, not as focused as usual…weird…just…I don’t know.”
“Your crazy shifts this week maybe?”
“Maybe.”
“How are things with Bette?” Tina’s eyes dart to Shane’s. Shane’s almost feeling like a deer in headlights… “Just asking…I don’t mean…” Tina’s eyes sort of look away and at her drink. “I just…” Shane’s eyebrows come together. She changes her mind about her her own hesitancy and just shakes it off and she becomes determined, after all, why shouldn’t she ask about Bette…. “Wait a minute…what’s going on? Something happen with Bette?”

Boring B&T is better than no B&T, my friend. ;)
Well that was an interesting blowout. LOL I keep waiting for Bailey (or is it Bassey? O.o) to look at Bette and say, “Are ya dumb?”
Thanks Lamentamini! I can’t believe I had been inserting Bailey for Bassey! Someone had commented about it and it just stuck! So…we’re back to Bassey…:)
So tina is still having feelings for Bette again, I wonder what Bette is going to do w/that information…Tks T
i love this and i hope yu’l finish it but also remember “lost and found” yu have to cont. with it ok??
Loved the update, better & better…and its your longest one yet. You seem to be on a role and I love it…
E gads! Bette’s in hot water. I’m still hoping she & Tina will get back together.
OOO, can’t wait for the shit to hit the fan. Can you perhaps gives a glimpse of what happened when Bette and Schmidt almost came to blows? That sounds like it was pretty intense! Post soon! P.S-Don’t worry about the long post because I am sure we all love them! The longer the better, trust me!
Wow. This is all so intricate. I keep hunting for clues that Jane Doe has some special part in all of this. Great chapter. Thanks.
Dang that was good!!! Thanks!
Hey Merlin, What’s with the apology for the long post?? That’s just a positive for me… ten pages and I’m still wanting more. Seems the next chapter may provide Bette the poo sandwich she’s due, though Emma and Bassey gave her a nice appetizer. Sorry to hear about the hair… you didn’t show him a picture of Shane, did you?? Love the post.
Greetings and salutions to you, Merlin, Thank you so much for another fine chapter. I love the mix of characters in this tall tale. Good to see Bette being honest with Emma but then the fight with Tina showed that there was still a spark there. I am a diehard TIBetter and hope that these gals can rekindle their relationship here. Bette is simply playing the field until she realizes that she wants Tina and to get there relationship another try. I think that Emma’s desire to love Bette might just push her away. Good to see Bassey giving the gals a proper telling off for their ill-advised discussion. It did seem petty. Can’t wait to see wher you will lead me to but please but rest assured that I am in it for the long haul. Thank you so much for sharing this splendid story with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is not blind nor deaf, Hospitals are a field of gossip. Bette should know better to date some that Tina is her boss. Put the shoe on the other foot,how would bette feel???? thanks for posting
I get the feeling that there is way more to Tina’s feelings towards Bette than Bette has towards Tina. I can’t wait to read what happens to Bette when she realizes that Tina does suspect and what the head of the department will do when she gets wind of this. I agree with Lamentamini, a boring B&T is better than no B&T. Besides I love boring, because boring can lead to a lot of free play (between B&T).
Hey Merlin,I just caught up on the last 2 chapters and wow. Something tells me that Ms Jane Doe will hold the key to getting our girls together.How can bette be so stupid and think that tina doesn’t know and that it wouldn’t bother her????????????? Tina knows that she is still in love with bette and bette knows that she is still in love with tina, otherwise she wouldn’t be sleeping with most of the female staff!!!!I look forward to the next chapter.
Does the hospital have a written policy about staff fraternizing? If not I still think Bassey and Schmidt should butt out unless they want to intervene as friends and mentors rather than bosses. Maybe Bette cruising the hospital hallways isn’t the most politic thing for her to do, but at the same time her playmates would have known what they were getting involved with. Tina needs to figure out what she realy feels. I can understand her confiding in Shane and I can understand Shane supporting her, but I was surprised to react in such an authoritarian manner.
Merl, Bette cannot be that dumb and blind. Tina doesn’t know (lol). I’m with Bassey on this one, just sit back and watch the sh*t hit the fan. This BAT triangle is so entertaining, although I feel sorry that poor Amertadi is way over her head with Bette. Either I’m not fully awake, or it’s getting a little confusing with all these BB&MM names(Bassey, Betty, Madeleine, Melinda). Thanks for the update.
He hee. Loved this. Was fun! So then lets see Bette hit the fan ;-)
