Heartbeat – Chapter 3
“Ms. Murray, you can go to admitting with the documents. They need you to fill out some paperwork for Ms. Porter.”
Tina walked over to bed and adjusted Bette’s non-breather. She bent down close to the brunette’s ear. “Bette, James is outside in the waiting area. Is it okay for me to tell him what’s going on?” Tina watched as Bette nodded.
Bette removed the non-breather. “Thank you,” she whispered.
“Try to relax. I’ll be right back.” Tina gave Bette a reassuring smile, all the while she was shaking on the inside. “Sue is on her way back.”
Tina parted the curtain and pulled the curtain back in place, making sure Bette had her privacy. She stood in the hallway outside Bette’s room and leaned forward and placed her hands on her knees. She tried to control her breathing. She straightened and flattened her back against the cold wall and closed her eyes, letting out her breath slowly.
Sue watched as Tina tried to composure herself. She walked over slowly to her friend. “Hey, are you okay?”
Tina, eyes still closed, answered, “Do you remember about two weeks ago when you asked me about soul mates and if I believed it them?” Tina opened her eyes and looked at her friend. She gestured to the room. “Bette…the woman inside…she’s my soul mate.” She closed her eyes again. Her throat tightening, “but I fucked it up.” Tina cleared her throat and pushed herself away from the wall. “Can you just stay here with her until I get back? I need to talk to her assistant James and let him know what’s going on. Knowing him, he must be worried sick.”
“Sure…yeah…go ahead. I’ll stay with her.”
“Thanks, Sue. I’ll be right back.” Tina walked down the corridor, pushed the button on the wall and waited for the double doors to swing open. She spotted James as soon as she walked in the waiting area. “James, let’s talk over here where it’s a little bit more private.”
James followed Tina to a corner in the waiting area. “Tina, please tell me what’s going on with Bette.”
“Listen James I don’t know what’s going on in Bette’s life, but she seems to be under a lot of stress.” Tina paused to wait for James’ reply.

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
