Lifeless Chptr. 8
Today was the fourth time that Tina had asked Alice or Tasha to take her to her appointment and not worry about staying. Alice was more than happy to do so, but Tasha was not so certain. She was becoming more concerned with Tina’s relationship with her doctor, ordinarily she would chock it up to Tina’s welcoming and warm personality, but there was something off, about their connection. The ‘Bette’ that Carmen had described was guarded and extremely mindful of her doctor and patient relationship. But here she was taking Tina home and having tea and laughs with her like they were old buddies. Carmen had described Bette to Tasha as the most professional and uncompromising individual she’d ever known. Her attention to detail and meticulous need for order was what made her the well known doctor that she was today. But she also described her as almost rigid and stern about her role in her patients lives, she’d never breach a subject with her patients unless it was relevant to her job. All of these terms were vast contradictions to the person that Tina wanted to spend time with.
With Tina her shoulders were down and her wit was more present than ever. She liked being able to make someone in Tina’s condition laugh whole heartedly. Sure her patients had witty remarks that gave her openings for courteous comments with a touch of humor, but they only gave back the obligatory smile or chuckle. Tina laughed with her whole body and Bette was not afraid to make jokes that she thought were inappropriate for the office, Tina didn’t mind, in fact she would start the session first. There was something about the way it made her feel. She looked forward to Tina’s appointments and she loved that Tina purposely chose the last appointment of her day so that they could leave together.
Last time they left and went to an Italian restaurant that Tina said was quiet and more relaxed than any other restaurant Bette could offer. They’d went and sure enough the small tables, dim light and the warm service all provided the great environment needed for pleasant conversation between friends.
“Hey Sweetie,” Tina smiled as she walked into Bette’s office receiving a smile from her doctor in return. “I love that blouse.” she said sitting down.

“Yea, Bette says it’s good for me and the baby. She says there’s no reason I can’t stay fit during my pregnancy.” – nice to have Dr. Porter on call… hope the next appt. is soon ;-)
Hey, thank you for sharing. Will be awaiting your next updates. Love this story
Thanks for the post. Alice and Tasha need to lighten up and give Bette a chance.
I’ve been looking for an update to this story, then you provide two! Alice and Tasha’s suspicions and worries are coming from a place of love, but I haven’t seen any cause for concern. Bette’s friendship seems to be having a positive influence on Tina, and that can’t be a bad thing. Thanks for the double posts. :)
So happy to see you back posting. Congrats on the new job! Two fantastic chapters. I love the friendship you’ve developed with Bette and Tina. For different reasons, it’s exactly what they both need. Can’t wait for your next chapter.

Thanks so much for these updates. I was really missing this story. It’s so good to see Tina returning to life…smiling and laughing. I hope Alice and Tasha don’t discourage her from having this friendship with Bette.
alice and tasha need to get a grip… tina is a big girl and for now her and bette are just friends.. love this story… pps
I would say that Tina talks to Doctor Porter quite often but Bette even more so.

It is so good to see this story again! Thank you for writing it.
Thanks for the updates. Love this story. Alice and Tasha should be happy that Tina has another focus and isn’t quite as depressed as she was before meeting Bette. Bette’s friendship has had a very positive affect on Tina and that is just great. They get along well and the friendship is developing beyond that of doctor and patient. Excellent idea. Thanks for posting.
Very good!
