“I hope so.” Tina replies. Just then a nurse comes out of the ‘staff only’ area and walks towards them.
“Family of Bette Porter?” She asks looking at them.
“I’m her jobpartner, this is Tina Kennard her lifepartner. How is she?” Brad asks worriedly. Tina jumps up covering her mouth while holding her breath.
“It’s still touch and go at the moment. We’re doing everything we can. The wound on the arm and leg are okay, we’ve managed to close those up without complications. The neck wound and the multiple shots on the torso is what is causing us problems now. The bullet that hit the neck area is still inside, it didn’t go through. It’s caught in between two cervical vertebras. We’ve managed to stop the bleeding for now, but the close proximity to the central nerve system is worrying the neurologist. He wants to take everything into consideration before he goes in. If something goes wrong, she could lose function in movement among others, so it’s risky. They have to get her stabile before they do anything. The shots to the torso were hard and have caused some pressure damage to the lunge and liver. But the doctor is hopeful that that won’t be a problem.” The nurse says.
Tears are streaming down Tina’s face after listening to the nurse. Her hand covering her mouth as if she’s trying to stop herself from screaming.
“She is a fighter though. They did lose her twice on the table, but she pulled back and right now, the heartbeat is strong. I have to get back in there, but I’ll be back soon with another update, okay?” She says. Brad and Tina nods.
“Thank you.” Brad says. They both turn and go to sit down again.
‘Stay with me Bette, please stay with me.’ Tina says silently as the tears keep coming.
An hour later the nurse comes back out to inform them that Bette is stable and that the neurologist has decided to go in and remove the bullet, hopefully without damaging the nerves. The longer they wait to remove it the more difficult it will be because scar tissue will start to grow around it, making it harder to take out the bullet.

Phew… So tensed when reading this! :-/ looking forward to your next chapter… :-) thanks!
OMG this is awesome, but looks like Bette is out of the most dangerous part of the woods for now, still got a long way to go.. What’s gonna happen to New York now though? :/ Great story Lauren, anyway, just for laughs, an ad for scar removal cream popped up when I was reading your story around the 2nd page hahaha!! :D Can’t wait for more!
Wow! What great writing … i could feel all the emotions. Thank you for this story.
Frightening and angsty chapter but Bette is a fighting woman and now with the Chicago Code, I can visualize how forceful and tough she can be.You’re not going to put her in a wheelchair?
Tough subject. Glad she made it through surgery, now it’s just a waiting game. She’s a fighter which is obvious, having come back from them losing her twice during surgery. She is fighting hard to stay with Tina and Evan, so hopefully she will be okay. Thanks for posting.
Come on,Bette will be o.k.Tina and her son need her.Great story Lauren,PPS.
Hey Lauren, This really is tense stuff. What a drama-rama. I have been on the edge of my seat as Tina goes through every emotion known to man. Her love for Bette is so strong and yet she can’t help her in this dark time. I hope things work out soon as my poor nerves can’t take much more. It is so sweet to have all her famiy and friends in the hospital waiting for news. Bette must survive even if there is a lond recovery I am sure that Tina will be there. Perhaps this will be Tina’s chance to be the strong one. I can’t hold out mush longer. Thanks for all this action and intensity. More please. Your Loyal Fan.
