“I am sure Bette. I love you with everything I am. I have never been surer about anything in my whole life. I just have to figure out how to manage that.” Tina replies as she still looks into Bette’s eyes to show her sincerity in her words. “I will never leave again. I gave you that promise, and I will keep it.” Tina adds as she brings Bette’s hand closer to place a kiss on her fingers. “I love you.” She adds.
“I love you too Tina.” Bette whispers with a smile.
“I don’t think I can take another breakup by us again either.” Tina adds as the tears keep coming.
The next day, Tina wake up first. They spent this night apart also. Tina was the one needing time alone this time. She wanted to start focus on the first session that she would attend the next day.
It was only 7 o’clock, but she couldn’t sleep anymore, so she got up, got dressed and went downstairs silently, not to wake Bette or Angie up yet. Angie soon had to get up because of school, but she hoped that Bette got to sleep a bit longer She needed all the rest she could get.
She made herself a cup of coffee and sat down at the kitchen table and opened her laptop, she needed to check in on work. Her colleagues were managing alone for the most part, that showed because there were not a lot of phone calls coming her way. But she was the executive producer, so she had the final say in a lot of things. That was done over emails these days. The season was over and post-production was now ongoing. No drama with actors or actresses that needed to be handled. She enjoyed the drama but was always relieved when post-production started. She could finally breathe normal for a few months. And usually the workdays were a little more normalized.
At 8, Angie came down the stairs, ready for her day. She enters the kitchen.
“Hey mom.” She says and walks over to Tina and give her a hug.
“Hey, sweetie.” Tina says and hug her back.
“Mama B not up yet?” Angie asks as she opens the fridge to get some milk for her cereal breakfast.

Happy Birthday! Finally you are big girl :)
But Tina – do you think it’s wise to sleep at different bedrooms and leave Bette alone during the night? What if something happen to her – who could help her?
Thank you, finally a grown up haha
Zehna.
Agree that Tina needs to sleep in bed with Bette to keep eye on her.
I’d been trying to understand Y Bette seems to be unconcerned about having had a brain tumor and surgery AND upcoming radiation which will be frickin’ evasive and cruelly harsh on her formerly fit body. Loss of her beautiful hair (scalp & facial) will surely iliicit emotions that Tibette has never experienced. Let alone Angie’s reaction as a teenager.
You may have answered my question with Bette’s comments how she would completely shatter and DIE if Tina leaves AGAIN. She has been broken TOO MANY times loving Tina only to have her leave. She doesn’t have the will nor strength to keep fighting that particular battle.
Have to agree Tina should not let Bette sleep alone just now. She should also be helping Bette a little more to deal with her illness. Bette will have a lot to deal with.
Really enjoying the story thank you and look forward to your next.post ASAP, please

Bette and Tina are going through what I would call a transition period. They are transitioning from being apart to being together. Their time apart needs to be explained and processes put into place to prevent what ever happened from happening again. That is the reason for Tina going to the therapist. Bette is still recovering from two surgeries. They are both trying to adjust to their new set of circumstances and hoping that eventually they will be both happy, and be together emotionally, mentally, and physically. I think we need to be patient with these two.
As to should Bette and Tina share a bed? They should do what feels right for them. If Tina is worried about Bette’s well being, she could set up a baby monitor in Bette’s room. Bette has not been sharing a bed with anyone except on rare occasion for the past two years. She needs to do what she feels will help her rest and sleep the best.
Tina may need privacy to tend to her own needs. Since they have yet to be intimate and Bette is not in condition to participate, it would be rude of Tina to self pleasure in Bette’s bed. Just a thought.
I have seen comments about radiation and the possibility of hair loss for Bette. Generally, chemo-therapy is what causes hair loss. And it is generally not in all cases – some are worse than others. Chemo-therapy is administered through the blood stream and accesses entire body. The cells which are part of the hair growing process throughout the body become damaged and release the hair throughout the body. Until those cells repair themselves no hair will grow. Radiation is a stream of radio-active particles which are sent directly to a specific area of the body. The cells in that area are damaged and hopefully includes any cancer cells. Once radiation stops, the cells repair and resume natural function. So the cells in the area where the radiation occurs may stop producing hair at least temporarily. Since Bette’s tumor was localized and removed by surgery, the radiation will be in that area and that area only. Theoretically, since her head was shaved in that area, she will only have hair loss in that area. She should maintain the balance of her hair on her head, eye brows, eye lashes and everywhere else she has hair. She will have a permanent scar from her surgeries, however her hair may cover those and not be noticeable by the public.
The fact is that those who do go through hair loss generally have only a short term emotional stress about the process. The chemotherapy process is so stressful to the body, that hair loss becomes almost incidental. The ability to eat, sleep and have some mobility become a far more concern than if you have hair of not. And the hair will grow back as soon as the chemotherapy stops and the body starts to heal from the treatments.
Great story…and fantastic writer.
