Previously:
Dana replaced Bette who went outside to meet Dr. Davenport seated on the couch of the waiting room between Caroline and Kit. Alice was standing behind them.
“How is she, Bette?”
“She’s sleeping, Caroline.”
“So Bette, what you wanted talk about?”
“I was wondering with Alice yesterday Is the living donor possible in Tina’s case?”
“Yes. It’s not the best option but it’s possible.”
“So, let’s do it. I will be the donor.”
CHAPTER 9: I WILL BE THE DONOR
“What?” asked simultaneously Kit, Caroline and Alice.
“Could I be the donor? For what I have read, I think so. We have the same blood type.”
“Is it possible? How it works?” asked a now hopeful Caroline
“Yes, it is because the liver has the ability to regenerate on a very short period. The liver is divided into a right lobe and a left lobe what permits surgeons to divide it into two distinct parts, which can function independently of each other.”
“So Tina would receive half liver?”
“No, it’s depends on what lobe she would receive. The right lobe comprises approximately 60 percent of the liver.”
“And Bette could be a donor?” asked worried Kit.
“Maybe. The blood types of donor and recipient must be compatible. The anatomy of the donor’s liver must also be favorable in the distribution of blood vessels or bile ducts and the donor must be in excellent health. If Bette attends these conditions, she could be.”
“So let’s do it. What do I need to do now?”
“Bette the process isn’t so simple. You will have to do an extensive evaluation including blood tests, electrocardiogram, x-ray, MRI…Even a liver biopsy is required in some cases. And there is psychological evaluation too. We can start it if you want, but don’t expect to do it soon, even because we need Tina to get better first.”
“Excuse me doctor, but when Bette and I were talking yesterday we were wondering why so many people still die waiting for a liver if there is this option.”
“Well, it’s still a relative new procedure and its not a simple decision to make.. It’s not everyone that wants to go trough all the trouble of the procedure. And there are risks too.”

1º…lol..im glad they finaly had an emotional conversation and Tina seems to finally undertand why Bette is there, cant wait to know what is the big secret your BIG tease..please post soon im begging you..lol..great as always thanks :o)and watch your back..the gang plan is still on :o)
Truth? Truth? What truth?I’m concerned that if Bette’s not around for Tina’s recovery (due to her own recovery), Tina will misunderstand and not do well herself. (Yes, they’re fictional characters, but still.)
OH hell..why did you leave us hanging like that. Please post soon…and I think they should tell Tina once the surgery is done. thanks again
ohhh lordy what now…….u thrive on drama…don’t ya!!!!!! HURRY UP AND POST ALREADY!!!!!!!
What’s that?! (screaming behind the curtain…) You told me no cry… Did Tina get sick due to Bette’s betrayal or something? Please, please post again soon.
what’s now? does it ever f***ing ends? LOL…so many secrets…and i hope someone will tell tina too that bette is the donor, so she’ll see that bette loves her so much
what secret?..the drama never ends, does it?..i really hope Alice accidentally slips that Bette is the donor, i mean how are they gonna explain Bette’s absence for recovery if she actually goes through the surgery
Yeah, let’s make a bet who’s going to release the HUGE secret (that Bette’s the donor). I goes for Caroline.
now your killing me here… come on post what alice has to say to bette.. and don’t think i forgot… you better make tina better… and that goes for bette to… later…
this story is sad enough without cliff hangers–what truth does it have anything to do with their baby–can’t think to much because its sooooooooo sad
The truth? ‘the hell? You’re SO cruel! :oP Quick, another post!!
What the hell could the secret be about please dont keep us waiting too long. If Tina an Bette do make it through this, then when they are getting jiggy Tina will see that Bette will have the same scar as herself, so there,

let bette give tina part of her liver so they can be together forever and raise angelica.

there is NO way that Bette’s secret won’t come out — probably when B is really ill and T doesn’t know where she is. eh — can you spare us anything too gory — i’m really chicken when it comes to blood. ohb — great chp by the way
What truth ??? Post soon!!! Don’t let Tina die. I’m speechless of Bette’s action … what a love !!
Yes you do need a bodyguard – a big one, because somehow I don’t think Alice brings good news to Bette. I’m so sad right now :o((
Finally an open and emotional conversation between B & T. Can’t believe there’s something Bette hasn’t been told yet. LOL. Can’t wait to know what the secret is…thanks for such a great post. Please continue.

I’ve just finished reading the 9 chapters. You leave me speachless, two years ago, my wife and I (we married last year here in Belgium where same sex marriages are allowed) were goin’ through the same thing as in you story. My wife had her liver transplant after being in a come for several days also. We still thank quietly our donor every day. Please go on with your story of pain and hope. I now many people will find confort in it, as we do. We love you.
