Tina opened the door to see a beautiful tall brunette standing in front of her. If she didnt know any better, shed swear she could be Bettes sister. Whit stepped up behind Tina. Hey Jennifer, this is Tina Kennard Bettes wife and the couple I told you about. Tina this is Jennifer. She works out of my station. Hi Ms. Kennard. I very sorry we have to meet under these circumstances. They shook hands and Tina motioned for them to take a seat.

After some time with Tina bringing Jennifer up to speed on every thing. Jennifer began explaining to Tina a few things that she would be able to do for both of them. Not just Bette. After all, rape affects the spouse of the victim just as much. Tina stopped Jennifer when she thought she heard a noise coming from the bedroom.

Bette was awake now when Tina entered. Hey baby how do you feel? Bette just put her hand up to the side of her head. Is it hurting that bad Tina ask? Bette nodded yes. OK let me go get your medicine ok. Tina came back in with her pills and a glass of water. Tina noticed Bette was a hesitant for Tina to be so close to her. Bette the police officer is here and needs to ask you some questions. Do you feel up to it? Bette just nodded her head yes. OK let me help you into the living room.

Bette and Tina joined them in the living room when Bette noticed the brunette sitting there. Bette took a seat but kept staring. After a few minutes Bette looked up at Tina and said Damn Fine!! Tina was a bit embarrassed and explained that since Bettes surgery that was the best word she was able to say sometimes when she was stressed. It never had the same meaning though.

Jennifer introduced herself to Bette and explained what her job was with the Police dept. She noticed Bette lower her head when she mentioned Rape Counselor. Bette was confused and uncomfortable at the same time. This didnt go unnoticed by Tina. So she stood up and motioned for Whit to join her outside. “Bette Ill be right out here by the pool if you need me ok.” Bette looked up at Tina with a weak smile and nodded.

Tina grabbed a couple of glasses of tea and joined Whit outside. Thank you Tina. Now back to what I ask you. How are you holding up? Not you and Bette but you? Tinas eyes once again filled up with tears. I’m ok. It just breaks my heart for Bette. Shes worked so hard after surgery and recovery to remember things. We had a rough time the last time she saw Candace. Even had a heart attack. Her health and well being is just so, so delicate right now. Whit looked over at Tina and couldnt help but feel her pain. Tina I swear. Jennifer is the best there is when it comes to something like this. I promise she will be able to help you both through this.

Inside Bette had begun to open up to Jennifer. Explaining how she got so confused and didnt know where she belonged. How she remembered herself with Candace so she thought Candace was telling her the truth. During ***** she remembered Tina and it no longer felt right being with Candace. Her brain trying to decide which one of them really was her wife. Bette lowered her head and began crying uncontrollably. Jennifer moved over to the couch and gently reach to touch Bettes hand. Bette look at me. I have been doing this for a very long time. I completely understand your confusion and your feelings of shame.

Bette tried to stop crying to speak. It took her a moment to settle down. Looking up at Jennifer trying to find the words. But I. I felt something with that woman. I felt the butterflies Tina said was normal. I didnt know it was wrong. Bette kept trying to say something else but she stopped ashamed to say it.
