“Yes, she is…at the university and in her personal life.” James replied. “I really should not be telling you this. Bette will have to tell you what’s going.”
“I understand James. Don’t worry about it. Go get some coffee at the cafeteria. Bette’s going to be admitted. She’s going to be moved to the telemetry floor as soon as the bed is ready.” Tina saw James’ questioning look. “She’s going to have her heart monitored for 24 hours to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“Oh. Okay." James and Tina turned from the corner and saw a woman watching them. “Shit.” James said under his breath, loud enough for Tina to hear. James glanced at the blonde woman and then at Tina. Wow, the resemblance was remarkable. He had always thought Andrea was very similar to Tina in appearance, but seeing them in person they could be siblings, the resemblance was uncanny.
Tina looked at the blonde woman and noted her resemblance to her. She turned her attention back to Bette’s assistant. “James, I have to go back to tend to Bette. She’s my patient until she’s moved to her room.
James escorted Tina to the double doors leading to the emergency room. “Tina, I think there’s someone you should meet.” James looked at Andrea. “And someone you really need to talk to about Bette’s condition.”
Andrea approached James and blonde woman. She was shocked by the resemblance. She knew right away who the woman was, the love of Bette’s life, Tina Kennard. Soul mate as Kit, Alice, Shane and Dana had once claimed. Where she knew about Bette’s relationship with her former partner, she was sure that Tina knew nothing about her.
“Andrea Murray. I’d like you to meet Tina Kennard. She’s the P.A. taking care of Bette. Tina, this is Andrea Murray…uh… Bette’s wife.”
Tina’s chest tightened for the second time, the pounding of her heart was hurting her ears and again she left like she was going to throw up. Of course Bette would have moved on from her. She had forfeited her right to being Bette’s partner. Eight years is a long time in pine after someone, but isn’t that what she did? The two women shook hands. One hand warm, the other hand cold. Tina explained to the blonde Bette’s conditioned. “Let me take you to her.” Tina turned to James. “James, I’ll see you later.”
Tina escorted Andrea down the corridor aware of the stares they were getting. When they reached Bette’s room she warned the blonde. “It’s best not to get her upset.”
Bette heard Tina talk to someone behind the curtains. She was getting ready to give Tina a warm smile when the curtains opened and she saw the love of her life and her soon-to-be ex-wife standing next to each other.

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
