Can we get it back – Chapter 7
“Hi Mama B, we’re here, me and mama T. Please come back to us.” Angie says softly as she carefully touches Bette’s exposed arm. She looks over at her mama T and sees her struggle to not cry.
The heart monitor’s beeping fastens its speed at the sound of Angie’s voice. “She knows we’re here, see the monitor.” Angie says surprised and looks hopefully at her mama T.
“She knows we’re here sweetie.” Tina says and lovingly touches Bette’s other arm, careful not to touch any of the wires connected. “Please come back to us.” Tina softly whispers as she leans down to place a kiss on Bette’s forehead. Again, the heart monitor quickens its speed. That makes Tina smile. She’s still in there. Tina thinks giving a dreamy smile at her ex-wife.
30 minutes later the nurse comes back in to inform them that they will have to leave. They say goodbye to Bette for the night, then follow the nurse back outside.
“When will she be able to have visitors again tomorrow. It will only be me or us.” Tina says and points at Angie.
“One of you will be allowed in. Both will have to be in between.” The nurse says.
“Well for most of the day it will be only me, then when she finishes school in the evening, she will come over.” Tina informs the nurse.
“That is fine, then it’s been almost 24 hours so it should be okay. But for the morning and up till the evening, only 1.” The nurse concludes.
“Good, thank you. I’ll be here in the morning.” Tina says. They say their goodbye and leaves. Walking down the hallway they see Shane waiting.
“Hey, how did it go?” She asks walking towards them as soon as she spots them.
“The operation was a success. Now we can only wait until she wakes up. We were just in with her. She looks peaceful. Sleeping.” Tina says with a smile.
“Ah, that’s good. I’ve been so worried, and Alice has kept calling me. I told her she didn’t need to come over since we could not come in with you. So ready to get going kiddo?” Shane asks Angie.
“Yeah.” Angie replies sadly. They all walk outside.
“Do you have a car Tina?” Shane asks.
“No, I have to call a cab, shit I forgot.” Tina says taking out her cellphone.
“Hey, I’ll drive you, no need to call a cab. You’re close by, right?” Shane says.
“Yeah, it’s a 5-minute drive only.” Tina replies. “Thank you, Shane, I would really appreciate that.” She adds.
“No problem. What are friends for right?” Shane gives her a wink. They walk over to the car.
“Still driving a Jeep huh?” Tina says with a chuckle.
“Yeah, it’s a women’s magnet you know.” Shane says with a chuckle on her own.
“Yeah, I bet.” Tina replies, smiling, slightly shaking her head. They get into the car and Shane pulls out from the parking lot.
After letting Tina off at her hotel, Shane and Angie continues towards the hills and Shane’s house.

So happy that the surgery went well, now waiting patiently for the sleeping beauty to wake up!
Honest talk between Angie and Tina, and between Tina and Shane. Sad that they fell in the same trap, not communicating. Tina more than Bette is the one who needs to open up about her feelings and thoughts and not push away Bette by holding everything in. It is always easy to blame Bette and i am happy that Tina takes her responsibility in the failure of their relationship again.
Now Bette has to get better before they start working on their relationship.
I can understand when Bette is cautious and not immediately eager to work on a new relationship, but then again Tina is the love of her life and she does everything for her. But i am hopeful for them to reconcile!!!
Thanks for the update!
Thank you for the chapter!
But i think Tina and Angie need to stay together that night. Maybe in the Shane home, maybe in the hotel. Because Shane it’s good, but in moment like this Angie needs to spend time with closest persons – and it’s her mothers
Great story and chapter. Such a long surgery, the rehab and side effects will be interesting. Bette is going to need alot of love and support, hope Tina is in it to win it. Shane, as always, is the best! Looking forward to more….
And more will come ???? thank you
Love this story. The conversation between mothers and daughter is very interesting. Both Bette and Tina are honest and open in what they share with their daughter. But they can’t tell each other, what a shame we allow ourselves to fall so far out of sync with our soul mate that we can’t be really honest. Angie is the connection that binds them. Maybe she will be the force that brings them back together.
Well, lets see how it goes ????thanks for reading ????

Wow. Gets better and better. So well written and emotions easily translates to the reader.
Thank you ????
Love this story….glad surgery went well. Glad Tina talked to Angie. She’s made a promise that she needs to keep. She will be around for as long as it takes and She is going to try to reconcile with Bette. Its a long journey ahead…Bette will still need treatment and possibly rehabilitation. And if she has chemo, then the treatment may be worse than the disease.
To Zhenya point that Angie should stay with her mom. Ideally, that is what should happen. Except this is day one of a very long journey. Tina wants Angie’s life to return to some normalcy a soon as possible and that mean attending school. The sooner Angie’s life returns to some normalcy, the more confidence she will have that Bette is no longer in any imminent danger. Bette has left Angie in Shane’s care. Tina is respecting Bette’s wishes in this matter. After all Bette is her custodial parent. It is appropriate for Tina to stay close to the hospital in case something happens during this critical 24 hour recovery period. Tina will be much more able to respond if she knows that Angie is being well cared for. Everyone is responding by doing what the feel is best for the moment to support Bette and Angie. This has been an exhausting and long day. Tina has not slept in more than 24 hours maybe 48 hours. Tina has to have sleep or she will need medical attention as well.
Great story….lovely story arc… keep it comming.
As I’m on catch-up I’ll just say Ditto to all previous comments :-)
