“Oh, my God, Tina, I knew it was you.” He looked at what Tina was wearing. Scrubs and a lab coat. “What are you doing here?”
“I work here. I’m a P.A.” Tina saw James’ confused look. “I’m a physician assistant. I changed careers. It’s a long story. Listen James, I have see a patient with chest pains who was just brought in and I need to make sure it’s not a heart attack she’s having. It was good seeing you James.” Tina turned and was about to take a step when James stopped her.
James placed his hand on Tina’s arm. “It’s Bette…the chest pain you’re going to see. It’s Bette. She’s your patient.” James notified her boss’s former partner and watched as Tina’s complexion paled.
Hearing Bette’s name caused Tina’s vision to tunnel. Her heart started to beat faster. It pounded in her ears. She felt like she had to throw up. “James, I have to go. I’ll be back to let you know what’s going on.” Tina ran down the corridor.
Tina stopped outside the room where Bette was brought in. She took a deep breath, released it and steeled herself for what she was about to encounter. “Okay Sue, I’m here. Tell me what you have.”
“Forty-eight-year-old female, brought in from the university. She collapsed while jogging in the indoor tracks. Nurse and PA at the school evaluated her and started the IV. Dr. Martin was just hear and ordered routine labs, a chest x-ray, urinalysis and an EKG. The patient hasn’t opened her eyes. She just keeps calling out someone’s name whenever I try to ask her a question.”
Tina looked down at Bette. The pain was evident in her face. She removed the non-breather from Bette’s mouth. She was surprised when Bette called out her name over and over again. She leaned down close to the brunette’s ear. “Bette…it’s Tina. I need you to open your eyes and answer some questions so I can help you.” Tina glanced at Sue and returned her attention to the brunette. “Bette, it’s okay. I know you don’t like hospitals, but it’s okay. Open your eyes, babe.” She whispered softly, subconsciously reverting back to the name she oftentimes called Bette. “Open your eyes,” she softly ordered to it which only Bette could hear. She placed her hand on Bette’s hand which was still gripping the railing.

Well, if she wasn’t having a heart attack before, she’ll have one now. ;-) Very invigorating start! (I know – it’s chapter 3. I take awhile…)
And so the picture becomes at least somewhat clearer. Still lots of questions that I know will be answered soon. ;) Thanks for the post. :)
Wuuujjjuuuu!!! Love it!!!
Ok, I’m not confused anymore.
love it… I understand now very good…
Give that bitch the boot and fast!! So Tina can play doctor w/Bette…think she may need a fulllll examine!!
so the mention of twins…was not so much tongue in cheek… how often though do people choose new partner based unconsciously or not on the looks of their former love… I like that…no wonder Bette is stressed..That Andrea looks to be a right piece of work…and BTW..TONI..tut tut and you know why!!! xxK
Damn it, is there a chance there is the third “Tina” somewhere, because I don’t want these two anywhere near Bette.
Thank you for another excellent update. Love it
WOW! Cool story… I love the twists and turns as well. The thing about relationships is that they are hard word and it takes two to make them as well as break them. I love looking at them on a spiritual level. Maybe the first time wasn’t the right time for them to be together. We’re all human and making mistakes is what we do best for our learning. Fate and destiny have brought them back into the same space and forgiveness is a cool thing. We shall see what happens next.
Good read! Hope to see more soon.
Ok don’t ask me how but was already anticipating since the first chapter that B&T weren’t together (that the wife of President Porter mentioned, was not gonna be T). Like nearly everyone else, the second chapter also had me thinking that it was T in the cab (physical description and her reading a script and mentioning James as a “go-between” screamed T, however her attitude once knowing B was in the hospital was first clue that it was hopefully not T). Introduction of Christina, before knowing she was in fact our T, was confusing because all the signs pointed to her possibly being T but with the introduction of the blonde in the cab had me wondering if this was going to be sci-fi story with the characters from parallel dimensions crossing over. Learning that T was the one to cheat is not frequently tackled and interested to learn more about this B&T backstory to find out what led up to this occurence and if there were any consequences (read: pregnancy, a child – whether by Oscar, Marcus’ donation or some other source?) following it. Shall be interesting to see how this story unfolds and learn more about B & Andrea’s history, the reason of their impending divorce and whether Andrea will let go now that she’s met B’s T?! Thank you for this new story and PPS!! :D
I knew I’m going to love this story. Well done. Very well done.
OMG, this is really a mess; an estranged wife and a lost love both at her bedside. Who will Bette call for and who ill she send away. My money is on Tina, always. Thanks for posting.
great stuff. i like how this is playing out and the twists. i was a little confused in the beginning but it is all starting to fall in place. i understand why bette would want to try to move on as well but it always takes a close brush to death to add clarity to what is truly important to a person. i can’t wait to see how this plays out. andrea sounds horrible when she actually seem torn between business and her wife. but who knows how much she could have possibly suffered living in the shadows of another. although tina cheating with oscar sounds awful, at least she had the decency to stay away out of respect to bette. i still wan the golden couple back together. bring it on! :)
Really good start,love it.Thank you.PPS
