Lifeless Chptr. 4
“Before we begin Tina, have you been taking the vitamins daily as prescribed?”
Tina looked up and all eyes were drilling into her and she felt pressured, “Yes, Dr. Porter I have been taking them every day.” she answered looking at Alice with just as much attitude. To this Bette smiled and continued her line of usual questions again Tina had the same answers. Ideally she was a model patient and that was a true gift to Bette. Once Tina had laid down on the table she’d began to tense up and Tasha saw it, Alice was to busy eye balling Bette and all her preparations to get ready. Tasha took hold of Tina’s hand and smiled at her but Alice was still wary of Bette, it wasn’t that she didn’t trust her, she just didn’t know her and it seemed to her that the doctor was suddenly unnerved by something. Bette was gentle in applying the gel, she’d listened to her previous clients and kept it warm just for their comfort, just the little touches that were very important to her.
“Ready?” she asked looking into Tina’s eyes. They were heavy with tears and she felt concern for her. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine; I think maybe I’m just a little anxious and nervous. I don’t know why, we’ve done this like a thousand times. Right? You know what, I’m fine. I’m fine” she nervously laughed out.
“It’ll be ok.” Bette said with a soft pat to her knee. Before Tina had time to process her next thought she was watching the monitor come to life. The sound of the rapid heartbeat filled the room and Alice jumped up.
“What the hell is that?”
“That’s the baby’s heartbeat.” Bette answered with a smile at Alice. She saw where Alice was about to ask another question and she gave a preemptive answer instead. “The average fetal heart rate can vary from 120 to 180 beats per minute. It’s fine.” she saw Alice relax and sink back into her position behind Tasha. When Alice came with Tina she usually opted to stay in the waiting room, she never did like doctor’s offices. That was ok with Tina because she always had a friendly face to come out of the office to. But Tasha was so enraptured with the baby and everything that went along with Tina’s pregnancy, that she was used to it by now.

I hope that these 2 women can find their way to happiness together! Thank you for the depth you have given to these characters. Please post soon!
Wonderful story. It seems so real!
Great update, love the depth of each of them. Can’t wait for more.
Looks as though Tina is trying to turn her life around now and dig out of the pit of despair that she had allowed her self to be so fully immersed. Maybe with her truly lovely smiles and her new attitude she can give some of that to Bette and help her turn her self around as well. Then maybe they can be happy together and we know how much love they can give to each other and with a little to love and cherish as well. That will be a very lucky little baby as well as two lucky and loving moms. Can hardly wait for the rest of the story to see how this plays itself out with our girls. Thanks for posting.
Forgetful me. Thanks for giving us two chapters today. That was great. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Maybe some light will enter Bette’s heart soon. Thank goodness for Alice and Tasha, they are holding Tina together.
Thats good and can’t wait to see B&T get to know each other and get through the pain. Please post more, thanks!
Fantastic story, so beautifully written. Glad that you wrote Rick as such a great guy. Look forward to the developing relationship between Tina and Dr Porter!
Bette is so guarded with her emotions. She may have had a tiny breakthrough when she felt Tina’s genuine concern for her social life. I think it’s going to take a lot more interaction with Tina for either of them to acknowledge that they enjoy each others company.
Excellent Thank you.
