Cure-all, Chapter 31
The children were now asleep. Tina left the dormitory after giving Sebastian the last cuddle that he had requested. She crossed the hall and noticed the light in the small office downstairs that Bette was using as a lab. She was still working…
She walked closer and was just about to knock when what she saw through the door left ajar made her heart sink. Bette was sitting at her desk, her head buried into her hands, and the slight shake of her shoulders made Tina painfully realize that the brunette was crying.
The blonde didn’t think twice. She quietly opened the door and stepped into the room. Then she slowly approached Bette who was still crying, unaware of the blonde’s presence.
She knew that she should have spoken. At least said her name. But she couldn’t utter a word. She was too shattered by the sight of this woman that she loved so deeply, this woman who had swept her off her feet and kept amazing her by her strength and courage ever since they had met. This woman who, in this moment, was so fragile and vulnerable that all Tina ached to do was reach out to her and bring her comfort anyway she could.
So she did… She raised her hand and gently touched Bette’s head, softly caressing her hair.
The brunette froze under the touch, then immediately relaxed. For a few moments she didn’t move, reveling into the caress whose author she had not a single doubt about. Tina kept stroking the brunette’s hair, enjoying the feeling of the beautiful dark curls through her fingers. They could hear each other breathing and it was the most soothing sound they had ever heard.
Then slowly, Bette raised her head and looked up to the blonde. Tina gasped and her eyes glazed with tears when she saw the brunette’s face. She brought her hands to it and gently wiped the tears that were covering her cheeks.
Bette closed her eyes, and suddenly, she brought her arms around Tina’s waist, pulling the blonde into her, and buried her head against her. The blonde immediately brought her arms around Bette’s head and held her tight against her chest. She felt the brunette’s sobs resume against her and her sorrow spread through her own body and became hers. She felt her own tears on her cheeks and she tightened her grip, bringing Bette closer, if that was at all possible. She kept caressing the brunette’s hair, and leaning in, she placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
Bette’s sobs finally subsided, but she didn’t move, holding onto Tina for dear life. She could hear the blonde’s heart beat in her chest and she relaxed, lulled by the gentle melody which was delivering the most wonderful message to her.
Then, after long minutes, she finally looked up, her arms still encircling Tina’s waist, and they looked deeply into each other’s eyes. Tina smiled at her through her tears and rested her hand on the brunette’s cheek.
“It’s okay…” She murmured very softly, caressing her face, “It’s not your fault…”
She plunged her eyes into the brunette’s soulful dark ones.
“Don’t give up now, Bette… You’ve come such a long way… And you’re so close… Please don’t give up… You’ll find this cure… I know you’ll find it…” She said with conviction.
Then she added, her voice breaking,
“I… I believe in you… So much…”
The brunette looked at her and once again, it was in the beautiful hazel eyes that she found her hope and her faith. In Tina’s eyes, in Tina’s words, in Tina’s amazing touch, she recovered all the passion and strength for her work that had left her.
A small smile appeared on her face, and not taking her eyes from the blonde’s, she softly nodded. Tina smiled back and leaning into Bette, she placed a delicate but lingering kiss on her forehead. The brunette closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh under the wonderful touch of her lips.
They stared at each other. The intensity of the feelings reflected in each other’s eyes was overwhelming and both knew they wouldn’t be able to hold them back for much longer.
Whatever that meant…

Sorry to learn thst you are not feeelig well, hope you are better soon. I, too, have been suffering with a cold/flu like something since the day before Thanksgiving and just now beginning to feel like a people again. What was the commotion in the hall from earlier, there was no explanation. Was it Max returning? Boy, our girls are getting to a point that one of them will have to say something about their feelings. Great chapter. PPS

Hmm…I remember that somewhere in the beginning of this story you said in your aithors note’s that there won’t be any cheating, and since Tina didn’t have the chance to talk to Helena I think you’re pulling our leg with the “Whatever that meant…” statement.
