“No, not yet. She’ll probably wake up soon. She never slept this late before.” Tina replies. “I should probably go and check, just in case.” Tina adds and stands up. “When are you leaving for school?” Tina asks.
“The bus comes in 10 minutes.” Angie replies as she finishes her breakfast.
“Okay.” Tina replies and walk towards Bette’s bedroom. She gently knocks on the door. After a few seconds she hear Bette say come in. She gently opens the door and step inside.
“Hey, good morning.” Tina says with a smile. She walks over to the bedside and takes a seat. Bette turns a little in bed towards Tina and they reach for each other’s hands. Tina plays with Bette’s fingers for a few moments. “Did you sleep well?” She asks.
“I slept. I woke a few times. My head has been hurting a little this night. I had to take a few painkillers around 3.” Bette says.
“Are you okay now?” Tina asks, suddenly worried.
“I’m good now. No need to worry.” Bette replies.
“I can’t help not to worry. I will worry until you’ve beaten this thing.” Tina whispers with a loving smile down at Bette.
“I know. I would too.” Bette replies.
“Are you ready to get up? Or do you want to stay in bed longer?” Tina asks.
“I’ll get up. Give me a few minutes and I’ll join you in the kitchen.” Bette says and bring Tina’s hand to her mouth and give her a sweet kiss.
“I’ll make you some breakfast.” Tina says and stands up. She helps Bette to stand up. She leans in for a good morning kiss and then leave the room.
As Tina round the corner from the hallway, Angie is on her way out the door.
“Bye sweetie, have a good day.” Tina says and smiles.
Angie stops and walk back in and give her mama T a big hug.
“Love you mom.” She says.
“Love you too Angie.” Tina replies and give her a kiss on the forehead. “Be safe.” She adds as Angie runs out to catch her bus. Tina smiles as she continues into the kitchen.
“What to make?” She asks herself out loud.
She decides on an omelet for Bette with ham and cheese and some vegetables. When Bette slowly enters 10 minutes later, the omelet was almost finished.
“Hey, take a seat. Breakfast is almost ready.” Tina says and brings the plate and glass while the omelet gets the last few seconds on the stove.
“You didn’t have to do this Tee.” Bette say as she takes a seat.
“I wanted to. I’ve always enjoyed cooking for you. So please let me.” Tina replies with a smile as she takes the omelet and put it on serving platter and then to the table. “Dig in.” Tina adds.
“Thank you, Tina. It means a lot.” Bette says softly.
“Like I’ve said several times, I have a lot to make up.” Tina replies.
Bette give her a smile as she starts eating.
“Ready for your first session?” Bette asks after a few moments in silence while eating.
“Yes and no.” Tina replies honestly.

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.
