Feeling safe and wanted again – Chapter 5
“Yes, we can do that. If there has been a fracture or a broken bone, we’ll see that on the x-rays.” The Dr. says.
“Okay, good, that will help with the case against him.” Bette says.
It was in the middle of the night now and Bette was tired, but she willed the sleepiness away. Tina was in with the doctor doing the x-rays. Bette sat out in the waiting room with Evan. Suddenly he wakes up and starts to cry. Bette picks him up and lay him down on her chest, hoping that the heartbeat will calm him down again and gets him back to sleep. She takes a seat on the floor in one of the corners. After a few minutes both of them was sound asleep. That is how Tina finds them 30 minutes later. With Bette’s arms holding Evan close, securing him so he won’t fall. Tina smiles as she takes a seat next to them. She softly touches Bette’s shoulder.
“Bette?” She softly says, hoping not to wake up Evan. A few more calls and Bette opened her eyes.
“Hey, how did it go?” She asks sleepily.
“They found one broken and three fractured ribs. No wonder I’m hurting there. And also lots of scars on the bones from earlier fractures.” Tina says.
“Why didn’t you go see a doctor then, if you were hurting?” Bette asks.
“I was scared and I had no one.” Tina says with a sad face.
“I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all this alone.” Bette says.
“Yeah, well, It’s over now. I’ll look forward from this day.” Tina says with a smile on her face.
Bette chuckles as she looks at Tina and the swollen nose.
“What?” Tina asks.
“You do kind of look a little adorable with that swollen nose.” Bette says smiling.
Tina playfully slaps Bette’s shoulder.
“Here, let me take him. I should get him into a proper bed soon, me too, it’s been a long day.” Tina says, getting a little sad because her day with Bette is coming to an end as she takes Evan into her arms.
“We can book you into a hotel or you can come with me to my brother’s house.” Bette suggests.
“I can’t come with you to his house. I don’t want to impose. I’ll feel like a burden, and I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. And I don’t know him.” Tina says.

GOD bette you are an Angel. But don’t let Tina by herself and please take her with you where ever you are living. Don’t trust Eric and the system in domestic violence. We know the record about the number of women killed by their exes. Great chapter again, love it especially the scene where Bette had Evan on her chest, both asleep. PPVS
I think you need to write a a good reason for Tina to move to Nashville! Please!! I love the direction your story is taking….I hope there is no loophole that will let Eric loose to cause more shit in Tina, Evan, and to some degree Bette’s life! Thank you for updating so frequently!
I know that Bette is detective and her job is to help people, but there must be more to it than that in her zeal to assist Tina, are we going to find out that Bette or maybe her motther suffered abuse before. I find it interesting that Bette said “we will enjoy the room”.
So many women suffer domestic abuse and not all have the support that Bette is giving Tina. Love this story, so well written. Looking forward to more.
Hey Lauren, I am so happy that Tina and Evan are outta of Eric’s reach. Goof that Bette has been able to get Tina to press charges and away from that terrible environment.I can’t wait to read more as there seems to be a very definite connection between these women.More please. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
don’t let tina go back to the house alone for any thing… that bastard could get out anytime… and she would be trapped… she needs to get out of the state and fast…pps
Tina should not be heading back to the house no telling when Eric will be let go on bail or something…
Great update, more soon please
Wonderful update. So glad Bette’s there for Tina. Thank you for this story.
” Another post later today :) ” -Great!- ”I hope you like it :) ” – We certainly do, thanks for writing it.
I was thinking exactly the same thing as AmandaMG – Eric could be released without her knowing and he’d come looking for Tina and the baby. Bette is doing all the right things for Tina – let her re-group in a safe environment, but with some control of her life. PPS!
That was great and so happy that Bette is there for Tina !
