Breathe Me *Chapter 27
Tina exited the bathroom and watched as Captain Peabody walked toward her, a concerned expression etched in her face.
"Tina, Elisabeth is out of surgery. One of the nurses came by and said the surgeon will be out shortly." Peabody wrapped her arm around the detective and walked back with her toward the waiting area. As they approached the overflowing room, a slim brunette with piercing blue eyes walked toward them with a confident swagger,
"Hello, Sergeant Kennard. Was anyone able to get in touch with Elisabeth Porter’s family?"
Captain Peabody stepped forward, "We’ve been trying to get in touch with her sister but apparently she’s in Europe at the moment. Her parents are deceased. There isn’t any other family but it’s my understanding that Sgt. Kennard here is her significant other."
The doctor looked between the two women and shrugged,
"I’m afraid that I can only share medical information with family. Are you even…"
"Please," Tina interrupted. "Bette and I…We’re together. I need to know that everything is going to be okay. That she’s going to be alright."
"Helena."
Tina looked over at the captain who was pleading with the surgeon, "You know her?"
"She’s my daughter. I know, I know, the accent doesn’t make sense but she studied abroad so there you go. Anyway. Helena, please?"
Dr. Helena Peabody nodded to her mother and took Tina by the arm, leading her into her office, gently closing the door behind them,
"Won’t you have a seat?"
Tina hesitantly took a seat in front of Peabody’s desk and stared intently into the eyes of the talented surgeon.
"As you know Elisabeth lost a significant amount of blood. The surgery went well, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s in the clear. The bullet traveled through her abdomen, but miraculously didn’t hit any vital organs. Her stomach, kidney, and etcetera everything is in order. She received several transfusions during surgery, all of which went well. She’ll have a long road ahead of her, but she’s a strong woman. I think she’ll be just fine."
Tina opened her mouth to speak but the tears she had managed to keep at bay tore through her with a vengeance. Her sobs racked her body and she covered her face, trying desperately to catch her breath.

YAY, you’re back!!! Missed you and your story. Thanks for the update!
Oh what a relief. I’ve had such withdrawal from this story that I’ve had to re-watch Rizzoli & Isles, LOL! Great update – can’t wait for the shenanigans during recovery. PPS!
Thank you so much! I’ve been dying to know how Bette was doing! This is such a fascinating story.
i bet Bette heard every word that Tina said :) thanks for the update
Beautiful :) thanks sooo much for the update!!!
That last scene had me on close to tears LOL, yes I am a cry baby! Thank you for taking the time to update this awesome story.
Great you`re back. What a relief that Bette is going to be okay. Thanks for the update.
Welcome back! Glad to know Bette will be alright if she makes it through the night. I bet she heard everything Tina just said to her. PPS
Wonder if Tina knows that when a person is unconscious they can still hear and understand you. So I’m sure that Bette heard every word that Tina just said to her. And Peggy likes Tina like a daughter, well why not. Will we get to see Tina’s Mom and Dad again very soon? He has to tell his little girl how proud he is of both of them. So happy that Tina and Bette were the ones to crack the case open and show up those other idiots. Glad they are both going to be okay. Awesome story. Thanks for posting.
Loved it!!!! Glad Bette is going to fine. I hope Bette heard everything Tina said. Thank you PPS
Awesome update thanks a bunch!
Bette is alive,thats important.Thank you for the update,amazing story.
Thanks for the post! I like this version of Helena as a doctor. I’m glad that Bette is doing OK and can’t wait for the next chapter.
I like this story very much.
Just freakin awesome. Wonderful writing and just damn great story. Thank you for posting.
Great update, hopefully Bette will pull out through the night and heard Tina’s confession. Helena should know better not to leave a concussion unattended and her jealousy of “Kennard this and Kennard that” is cute. read you very soon.
hey thanks for the update. glad Tina finally said she loved Bette out loud. I bet she heard her. pps
Hey, scaf – what a delightful surprise when I opened up fanfic – here was ch 27 of Breathe Me. Thank you for working in time to write some more for all of us who read your stories. I am looking forward to the next post.
That was great and love it!
We got her at the hospital and in the hands of Helena-A doctor- had to smile at that thought. And Peggy was funny when talking about her accent. Tina let your woman know that you love her, but I hope Bette actually heard her.
