Air Supply, Chapter 7
“No Shane…why does Bette have to come into this?”
“I don’t know, why so defensive?”
“I’m not defensive.”
“So this isn’t about Bette?”
“Ok Shane, you’re almost as bad as Alice…”
“WOE!” says Shane and Tina chuckles.
“Sorry!” Shane shakes her head but smiles back. “I don’t know Shane…I think it’s just work getting to me.” Shane sort of nods and looks off into the distance as though she doesn’t want Tina to see the doubt in her eyes. After all, she thinks to herself, Tina’s issues haven’t had much to do with Bette this past long while…they’re not together…so why does she get a strange sense about it now anyway? Tina pauses and looks at Shane. She takes a sip of her own drink, swallows, and then, as Shane starts drinking from her beer bottle again, seems to decide to open up frankly with Shane. “I think she’s dating one of my junior residents.” Shane almost chokes on her beer but quickly recovers and puts the bottle on the table as she glares at Tina.
“EXCUSE ME?”
“Yup…she’s shtupping my new resident. At least I think so.”
“Well that’s matter of factly,” retorts Shan. Tina shrugs.
“Well Shane, it’s none of my business.”
“EXCUSE ME?”
“Ok you’ve gotta be more original with your replies…”
“Tina…hold on a sec…”
“What?”
“You ‘think’ she’s sleeping with your student? And she hasn’t talked to you about it?”
“Are you kidding? No, of course not.”
“What do you mean ‘of course not’? You don’t think she should?”
“I mean it’s Bette…and besides, she’s been ‘dating’, if we can call it that, half the residents and nursing staff over this past long period, almost like she doesn’t realize people know…but you know what…it’s really none of my business.”
“Tina…you guys are friends, former partners, and you’re raising a child…and you don’t think she should have told you that she’s having a relationship…or whatever…with one of your students?”
“Shane, my ‘student’ is a resident…she’s not 16.”
“I don’t care…she’s under your direct authority. That’s unprofessional and not how a friend should be handling it. She can date whomever she wants, I’d be the first to say that, but under the circumstances, she’s approaching it all wrong.”

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 ;-)
