Heartbeat – Chapter 3
Bette wasn’t sure if she should open her eyes or not. She wasn’t sure if it was Tina’s voice she was actually hearing or if it was a figment of her imagination, but the touch on her hand felt familiar. Maybe the chest pain was conjuring up voices and sensations. The voice she was hearing was pleading with her to open her eyes. The voice was telling her it was going to be okay. She opened her eyes slowly and was met with warm hazel ones filled with concern. These hazel eyes she had committed to memory long ago. These hazel eyes she knew from the depth of her soul. These hazel eyes she knew could only belonged to the only woman she had ever truly loved. These hazel eyes could only belong to Tina. Bette tried to smile, but the pain in her chest increased. “T…it hurts,” she moaned. “It hurts so much.” She saw Tina straighten. She quickly released the railings and grabbed her hand before she could turn. “T…don’t leave me…please.”
Tina saw the scared look in the brunette’s eyes. Bette was truly afraid by what was happening. “I won’t, but I need to examine you.” Tina gave Bette a small smile. “I need you to answer as best as you can, okay.” When she saw Bette nod, she began her questioning and examination.
Dr. Martin entered the room. “Well, Miss Porter. I see you’ve met Christina. She’s one of our best P.A.s here. You’ll be in good hands with her. Christina, I need you try to get a history and physical on her. Let’s rule out myocardial infarction and hiatal hernia. ”
“Dr. Martin, I have her H and P.” Tina handed him her notes.
“See, didn’t I tell you she was the best.” Dr. Martin looked at Bette’s chart and the EKG. Sue hand Dr. Martin the lab results. “Miss. Porter, your lab works came back normal. Your EKG shows a normal sinus rhythm. Christina is going to do another EKG on you in about half-an-hour. Once telemetry has a bed for you, you’ll be transferred over there for observations. Meanwhile, Christina here will monitor you.”

Andrea Murray stepped out of the cab and stood in front of the Emergency Room entrance. She took a breath and let it out slowly. She made her way in through the automatic sliding door and stepped up to the reception area. “Hi. I’m looking for Elizabeth Porter. My name is Andrea Murray. I’m her wife.” The receptionist looked at the blonde woman who was standing before her.

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
