Chapter 29
The following morning on rounds I tried to make eye contact with Bette but got a bit of the coolness and avoidance of our interactions in the past but this time I refused to allow it. When I finally got caught up with my work and had a moment before “Hammer” rounds I asked Bette, “How did things go with Rick last night?”
She smiled, shook her head and exhaled deeply, “Needless to say, he was not happy at all. He went on and on about ‘how could I forget, how inconsiderate it was of me, what was on my mind, yada, yada, yada. I don’t think I can recall him ever being so angry.”
I don’t know why I asked, but I did, “So what happened? Did you smooth it out?”
She grinned a wry grin that made me cringe but I understood perfectly well what she did. It was just a different image than I wanted to have, but she responded, “Yes, I did smooth it out. I think it was nearly an all-nighter. But I do think I am back in his good graces after messing up so royally.”
I supposed I must have blushed because she laughed at me. I put my hands up to wave vehemently and said, “I don’t want to know. I really don’t want to know.”
I was a little hurt and jealous because I thought selfishly, that should have been my all-nighter. I tried to pull the conversation back to our interaction because that was just about what I thought about all night. I again thanked her, “Thanks again for the cupcakes. You really surprised me with it. I’m still in shock about it. I’m sorry you got into trouble over it but it was greatly appreciated.”
“Don’t worry about it. You are most welcome. It really and truly was my pleasure, even with all the fall out over it. But in the end, all is good.”
I wanted to recapture the magic we shared but I couldn’t get it back. Maybe it was because of all the background chatter of what was happening around us on the floor or maybe because she spent the night making it up to Rick. I couldn’t reengage her and connect with her in the way we did last night when we were alone. I realized, then, despite my eagerness, was definitely not the time. I needed her undivided attention to recapture the intimacy of the connection we made. I refused to believe it was only just that moment only. If it was just that moment, then I needed to try to recreate it somehow. The opportunity would not present itself for several days, but I wanted to have my time alone with her. I asked, “What are you doing the Saturday or Sunday afternoon after next? Do you think we can get together to work-out again? Maybe after rounds, if we are not on call or you have no plans.”

Nice update. Could that be Dylan on the other line?
Great chapter. I hope it’s Bette on the phone.
Great chapter as always. I bet it’s Dylan on the phone, but I really want it to be Tina even though I’m pretty sure I want this to be a Belena story.
Huzzah! I was so happy to see a post from you Squirl, I danced a happy jig. Well despite the Henry confusion – which didn’t actually confuse me for some reason – I was drawn to a couple of things. What’s this I read? Helena was okay with spending the night alone after her outrageously fun birthday party? Hmmm…that sounds like growth to me…particularly since she was willing to bypass on fun with Carmen for the sake of their friendship. Secondly, I can’t believe you ended the chapter there!@!@!@! OMG – I swear I wanted to jump through my computer screen as I kept looking to hit the next page button. Anyhow, I have a feeling it’s Dylan calling – this is going to throw a real obstacle into my Belena fantasy. And just when things were starting to look up I might add… I’ll continue to look forward to weekly Belena posts…I mean chapter updates.
As usual loved he update and can’t wait for their run!!!
Great update! lol! “Peabody, there is nothing more wrong than being loud and wrong”. Man, I could hear those women barking at each other…The threat of harming someone or malpractice suits is the great debate eliminator. Bette’s jealousy…Helena’s jealousy…intense moments and now soon a workout session?! Getting interesting, indeed…but who the L is on the phone? Oui! I love the fact that Helena is thinking before she acts and is cool with not bringing drama to bed…lol! Although, she may want to consider setting up one more annoying interlude with Papi to get Bette’s attention…or perhaps that will make her keep running. Ok…my vote then is no games, just sports or whatever you have planned for them! The Dr. H’s didn’t stick out to me at all. Thanks for posting…PPS!
Squirl- I know what you mean about getting what you wished for but I don’t see how Bette and Helena together can be wrong. I sure hope that it is Bette calling Helena in her drunken state and not someone who will ruin Helena’s night, like Dylan. Even with heavy training I don’t think Hels is ready to take on Bette Porter on anothe run. Pps.
I have to be honest and tell you that Henry confused me. Haha! Not until you explained it. Thanks for the chappy and I hope you can post soon.
Does that happen to you often?
i just want you to know that i have been periodically checking for an update on this story all weekend, and i had to look one more time, and lo and behold you finally updated it, so here i am at 2:30 am reading this, instead of going to bed, but as usual its so worth it!!!more updates please!!!
this could only be Bette on the other side, Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessss she is coming over hope so.
OMG Squirl you posting late in the night is going to have me late for work again. I will tell them I had a Dr. appointment, will you write me a note?The chapter was amazing, I laughed and held my breath a few times. I forget the new Dr.s name and don’t have time to reread right now but I want to know if her and Helena become friends. WHO IS ON THE PHONE at that time in the a.m. and are they coming over to Helena’s. Thank you, Md aka Oma
First off, great chapter as always! I’m also happy to see that Dana is feeling somewhat better. All in all the gang seemed to have had a good time. As for the early morning phone call could this be Dylan? Or how about Tina since lover boy maybe on the outs soon. Or could it be Bette? You know Papi did ruffle her feathers a little, by hitting on her future girlfriend. Maybe she should pick a liitle better who she have all nighters with. I wonder will they make each other pay when they have their little workout session. I can hardly wait to find out. PPS!
I did change Dr Henry to Dr Harper to take away the confusion over Henry’s…If I missed any Dr Henry to Harper change, please let me know.
Great posting, i’ve been waiting for this. Pleaaaase don’t disappoint, that has to be Bette on the phone. Anyway, great post as alway, please post soon. Loving this story.
This story and your writing are amazingly outstanding. Intriguing and interesting story. Keep going. It is so worth it.
I’m going to be moving to and decorating a new place soon. Have Peggy send me some art! I don’t need a Rembrandt, a nice, colorful poster or two would be great. Maybe she could get me an Eames lounge chair. Small potatoes to a Peabody. Anyway, who’s calling and are they going to be a wet blanket? Why does Bette think her life should be second to Merv’s and why does she have to make things up to him? And you know what? Too many doctors named Henry in this story-I can’t keep ’em all straight! OMG! Is Tina go from one Dr. Henry (first name, male) to the other Dr. “Hammer” Henry, (last name, female)? Maybe Tina’s confused by all the Doctor Henrys, too!
Funnyone: sorry for the Henry confusion..currently a senior resident, plannig to go the Cleveland Clinic for cardiology fellowship..The other Dr Sherry “Hammer” Henry, female, Trinidadian, GI attending…I think Tina can tell them apaart..Hopefully you will too. I guess I could have given her another name, but I suppose I was feeling pretty Henry that day.
Hey there S, sorry I am posting a comment late but got sidetracked, I am so glad that Helena had a great time at hre party and that Dana was able to make it along with the rest of the people she had invited except for that of her Bette. It’s ashame that she didnt get to hear her phone ring and her text so that Helena could at least tell Bette thank you. Now as for who called Helena my bet is on Dylan…….can’t wait and see what is next when Bette finds out Helena bought the new place!
I’m really happy to see that Dana is feeling better and out with her friends and having some fun. I think it’s Dylan on the phone calling to wish Helena a happy birthday. It does look like Helena is growing and not thinking with her libido. That’s a good sign. Hopefully she can continue that growth and also apply it to not getting too involved with the idea of her and Bette. Though it doesn’t seem like she’s doing a very good job of that. I know I’m in the minority here, but I think it’s a mistake for her to be pining away for someone who is already taken. Helena will end up like Carmen did when she was pining away for her, hoping for more and a relationship, and she’ll only get heartache and pain. She needs to do what I said in previous comments and focus on meeting people outside the hospital and going out by herself. This can only do her good. And she can actually meet people who are available. What a concept.
