First Year- Chapter 29
“I’m sure she was nice to you but she was very insulting to me. I guess that’s how she feels she needs to talk to interns. But forget her. It sounds like you are doing very well. I am very excited about tomorrow.”
“So I am. It will be nice to get out. I’ve been trying to find something to wear. All my clothes are just hanging off me since I’ve lost the weight. But I’m holding out on getting too many new clothes until I recover.”
I smiled and reminded her about our shopping spree. She laughed and told me she had not forgotten and planned to hold me to it. Her bigger laugh came when I told her about my sending someone to make sure they cleaned to kitchen and the room where we would have dinner.
I was quite anxious but melancholy the night of my party. All day leading up to the party I reflected over the changes I had gone through over the past year. I especially reflected on my relationship with Dylan. I again mourned some over the loss, but I realized the sting and the pain seemed significantly less than it did a few months before. I arrived early to the restaurant and checked in with our server. The room was simply but elegantly and beautifully decorated. I wore a simple strapless blue dress. I’d always been told when I wore blue, it brought out the blue hues in my eyes. I thought I looked great if but it seemed to be wasted by my dateless state. That was not exactly in my original plan for that day. I suppose I could have considered Papi as my date, but the playful flirt Papi, was not exactly what I was looking for. I tried to keep Bette out of my head, especially since she would not be there but I found my thoughts frequently drifted back to her. I suppose I needed to remind myself about the Rick factor but all I thought about was the connection I felt we were making.
Dinner was wonderful. Certainly the highlight was Dana’s presence. She wore make up which covered up her pale skin, and a short haired brunette wig which gave her an entirely different androgynous look. She looked great and was extremely happy to be out and interact with her colleagues in a different way than as a patient. Tina and Henry seemed a bit tense with each other. After a few drinks, Tina became more flirtatious than she normally was. Henry, who seemed to tolerate it in the past, became much more agitated over it. From the appearance if it, it seemed that the days of this relationship might be numbered. Sean was looking his normal handsome self but was clearly disinterested in his date, who went on and on about her 20 second long appearance in a video by Justin Timberlake. You would have thought she was the star of a feature film. I playfully asked Sean, “Where do you find these women?”

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.
