    Come Back to Me – Bette Porter Tina Kennard #4

    I want her to open her eyes again and know who I am and that I’m here with her through her pain and delirium, and this frantic and frightening ride to the hospital that is the last place she wanted to give birth. She looks up at me and grabs my shirttail. The ambulance bounces up and down on the rough street surface. I bang my head against the ceiling. “Jesus.” Tina’s hand drops from my shirt and her eyes drift closed. Gone again, that makes four times.

    “Come back to me, Baby.” I reach for her. “Fuck!” I shout at the EMS tech attaching wires and tubes to Tina’s body.  ”Can’t you do something? Anything? How far away are we? For Christ’s sake!” I plead.

    Now, I’m rushing down a corridor and the doors of the OR are ahead of her gurney. I hear that my hand must leave hers now. They tell me again and then make me let her go. The door opens, a flash of light then me alone. They’re gone.

    OR doors

    I lean helplessly against a wall as medical staff in scrubs and uniforms rush past me. I’m someone and no one. I’m here and I’m not here. I understand. Until my life falls apart inside their walls I’ll just be like this to them – in stasis. Someone they may see hour after hour in the waiting room, or vacantly walking past them waiting and waiting.

    <!–nextpage–>I look down at my pants and feel how wet I am from sitting with Tina in the water while we waited for the ambulance. The most terrifying eight minutes of my life were searching the midwife’s face over and over,  Tina screaming, and my own hearing growing suddenly acute then deafened as my heartbeat slammed heavily in my ears and I could hear nothing but it and Tina sobbing.

    My front door had opened and more faces to read and try to comprehend. Then people insisting I let her go. Finally, my arms were pulled away and they fell in the water away from her.

    My mind comes back to the present when I hear the PA call for Tina’s obstetrician, Dr. Wilson, to come to come to OR-2, stat. Another OR door flies open and Dr. Wilson motions hurriedly for me to follow.

    1. Amazing writing. I remember how heartless Franklin was …..firing Bette at her father’s memorial. What a jerk! Just an empty suit. I may be in the minority but I did not think that Bette was super controlling. She knew what she wanted, how she wanted it and was willing to work toward that end. The birth scene was terrifying. All of the control was in the doctor’s hands. Bette felt and was helpless. I just loved Bette and Tina together. The actors had amazing chemistry together even when Chaiken’s writing was subpar.

    2. Franklin had an axe to grind. He tried to fire Bette when she failed to get the Peabody collection for Provocations but was stopped by Peggy. He took great pleasure in firing Bette on her father’s memorial day and knowing that she had a baby on the way. It was not one of Helena’s finest moments either. Excelling writing as usual.

    3. What a repulsive cretin Franklin was, and his timing for Bette’s dismissal was diabolical. Of course it pales in comparison to burying one’s father and having one’s partner and baby being whisked away under the harsh lighting of an OR, but still.

      Thanks for posting.

    4. Franklin, Leo and Helen for that matter are pure assholes out with jeslousy over the one and only Bette Porter. Franklin mad because shes brilliant, Leo wish he was brilliant like her, and Helena is jealous of the brilliance and her brilliance life with Tina…the baby being born makes me tense up for some reason seems like alot of pain…Amazing writing

    5. As with the previous posts, I was utterly mesmerised at the chain of events in this post.

      My heart bleeds for Bette as she is fired and then Tina is in labour and if not for Dr Wilson, she may have missed Anjelica’s birth.

      Once again I was there in the emergency room watching it all.

      What an incredibly gifted writer you are.
