    Beyond…sequel to Now That Was Different

    Im Doctor Stevens. Ms. Porter suffered what we call vocal cord paralysis due to the nature of her attack.

    Paralysis, Carmen repeated, What does that mean exactly.

    Stevens motioned for everyone ti sit down as he sat down on the table in front of the chairs, It means that her vocal cords were damaged when her attacker was pushing against her throat. If the man that did this to her had put his hands a little higher and pushed he probably would have killed her. As it was he had been pushing against her vocal cords.

    So Doc, Alice began, What is the prognosis for vocal cord paralysis?

    Stevens took in a breath at this, Well it all depends on the severity of the injury itself. Sometimes surgery is involved or voice therapy. In this case we are going to see if the vocal cords heal on their own.

    Heal on their own, Kit repeated, So how long does this healing usually take?

    Again the prognosis is different each time. It usually takes up to a year though.

    During this time she cant speak?

    She will have some speech difficulties for sure. During this time it is best she use voice as sparingly as possible.

    Everyone looked at the Doctor as if this was the most ridiculous thing that they have ever heard.

    Doctor you dont know Bette. She is constantly talking, Alice started

    Shes a lot like you in that respect, Shane stated with a raised eyebrow

    If she wants to get the full use of her voice she will have to stop speaking, Stevens stated evenly

    Can we see her, Carmen anxiously asked
    He was about to say no but saw the concerned looks on their faces. He nodded his head gently, Only for a few minutes.

    They all went to the directed room and saw Bette lying in a bed with her eyes closed. They could all see the finger impressions around Bettes neck. It looked like it hurt like *****.

    Hearing something Bette opened her eyes to see her friends nay family standing around her bed. Carmen stood near Bettes head and took her hand, Hey sweetie!

    Bette smiled at her and opened her mouth to say something but Carmen put her fingers over her lips.

    1. Hey girl with as many story lines going on as you have how do you ever keep them straight. This is great. Now it gets creepy with her mom coming back to warn her. I have to tell you my mom did come back not to warn me but to let me know that everything was good. So it really does happen just like that as a waking dream. Awesome story thanks for your post.

    2. I love this story. Your mind is just so terribly creative. Now Bette can’t speak for a year? And the sign language thing was a very nice touch. I feel like you are setting us up for some heartbreak. And I like that you highlight the depth of Bette’s relationship with Carmen. Tina validated its significance as well. Okay, I think i’ve rambled long enough. Great post and I can’t wait for the next one. I’ve gotta find out what that dream is foreshadowing.

    3. Love this story Reba=P lol…CR00 is hilarious…’So when is carmen going to die and from what?’…is that the plan? Like MTS, what is that dream foreshadowing? I wonder what is gonna be Bette’s downfall this time?…oh well, I guess we’re gonna have to wait and see. Nicely done Reba, please do continue!

    4. Now Reba that was a super update. the drama and all the confusion. Now this warning Bette get´s from her mother – this sounds interesting and in a way very strange. Give us an update soon you hear. Keep up the good work.

    5. OOOh, that dream! Yikes! Sounds scary….I hope it’s not foreshadowing someone close to Bette dying. I’m already looking for your next chapter…Thanks
