Cure-all, Chapter 29
All of a sudden, she couldn’t stop the tears that she’d been holding back ever since she had laid her eyes on Bette’s bruised but oh so beautiful face. And in that moment, she let it all out. All these tears she had buried inside since that horrible sight at the orphanage.
The kids… The stressful journey back… The checkpoint… The soldiers… The siege… The awful news about the lazaretto… The unbearable news about Bette… The sight of her on the ground… Lifeless…
And now, as she watched the woman she’d fallen so utterly in love with struggle against the nothingness, she just fell apart. She felt as if all of her strength had suddenly left her, and all she wanted was to just lie beside the brunette and hold her tight in her arms… Forever.

A few hours later, Kit brought her some coffee. She offered to take over, but Tina declined, assuring that she wasn’t tired. Kit gave her a gentle smile and nodded knowingly. She put a hand on the blonde’s shoulder and bent over to kiss Bette’s forehead. Then she left again, leaving Tina alone to look out for the tiniest move, the faintest whimper that would indicate Bette’s return to life…
She leaned into her and whispered into her ear, just like she had done that previous morning at the hotel.
“Hold on, Bette… Please …” Her voice broke and tears filled her eyes again.
Then she added, her voice pleading,
“Please… Come back to me…”
——————————————————————————————–
The night’s long hours passed but Tina’s attention never faltered. She was growing more and more scared about the brunette’s unchanged state when suddenly, just before dawn, Bette moved and started to toss and turn in the bed. She was jiggling her head from side to side, frantically struggling against some invisible force. She looked like she was in a lot of pain, and Tina grabbed her hand, desperately trying to ease her suffering through the contact.
The brunette kept fidgeting for a few more seconds, then in a clear and happy voice, she uttered one word.
Just one.
‘Tina’.
At first, the blonde thought that Bette had seen her. That she was aware of her presence by her side. But no… The brunette hadn’t returned to the real world yet. She was still unconscious. In her own reality…
In her own truth.
Tina.
Bette seemed relieved after saying her name. She looked peaceful and now slept like someone who sleeps and not like someone who fights for her life.
Then, Tina knew.
She knew that Bette loved her.
And in this instant, she felt the most wonderful feeling in her heart and through her whole body. A powerful feeling that was becoming very familiar but didn’t make it less amazing. The very same feeling that had filled her the night they had first met. And a few days later at the university in San Francisco. Then again at the lazaretto and the next day at her hotel…
That’s when she understood.
Their hearts had just reconnected… Just like they did every time they were together.
And that reconnection told Tina that Bette had returned to her and that she would live.
Tina’s sobs shook her whole body, but this time, she was crying with relief. She smiled through her tears and brought Bette’s hand to her lips. Then, not letting go of her hand, she leaned close to her ear once again and murmured very softly,
“I love you…”
That’s when, along with overwhelming relief, exhaustion fell on her. And now certain that Bette would be okay, she went to wake up Kit. Then she headed to her room where she collapsed on her bed fully clothed.
She was still sleeping when Bette woke up the next morning…
TBC…

Well at least one of them has finally figured out how they feel. Wonderful story, and great chapter as always. Can’t wait for them to see one another in the morning.
This is such a riveting story. With all that is happening throughout the world with daily terrorist attacks, this story reminds me of how precarious the world and life is today. At least in this story there is hope for Bette, Tina, Kit, James and the boys to survive. Tina telling Bette she loved her as Bette calls out her name while unconscious is priceless.
I’m with Seahurst, Can’ seem to get enough of it. PPS thanks
Another amazing chapter! Can’t get enough… pps ;)
You are too cute with teasing yourself with your own cliffhanger!! Please feel free to continue the daily postings as I wouldn’t want you to feel any additional or undue pressure. Can’t wait to know if Bette heard Tina’s confession.
