    Author Notes:

    Code Blue, Room C121…Bette remembers their anniversary night

    Kit and Shane both nodded.  “Yeah,” she replied.

    “I’m Grace Pell.  I’m with the hospital and I’ve just been keeping Bette company.”

    Kit cut in, “How’s my sister-in-law?  What’s going on?”

    Shane pulled Bette down beside her on the couch while the women stepped away discreetly.

    “You hangin’ in, Bette?  Can I get you anything?  Wanna take a walk…get some air?  I could use a smoke…”

    Bette shook her head.  “I would but I’m afraid to leave, Shane.”  Her lips trembled and Shane slipped her arm around her shoulders tightly. 

    “That’s fine Bette.  It’s okay.  We’ll just sit right here.  Have you had anything to eat?”

    Bette looked down at the package of crackers in her hand as though she was surprised to find them there.  Shane’s heart tightened.  Bette was just barely there. 

     

    Kit and Grace Pell had distanced themselves a bit from Bette in order to talk.

    “She went into cardiac arrest,” the nurse explained.  “It was actually the second time it as happened since she was brought in,” the nurse said quietly. “Your sister must not have heard the call the first time she coded.  I’m glad for that.  She was close to hysterics when she reached the room.” 

    Kit’s hand had flown to her lips in reaction to the news.  “How is Tina now?  Will she be okay?”

    “I would have heard something if she wasn’t,” Grace answered.  “I was trying to distract your sister because she’s not allowed in the room and she was really determined to see her.

    “That’s Bette,” Kit said quietly.  “She doesn’t take direction from anybody but…”  She had been about to say ‘Tina’ and caught herself.  A lump rose in her throat. Grace Pell was patting her hand when her phone buzzed.  She removed it from her pocket and read the text message.  Kit studied the other woman’s face, holding her breath.  The nurse smiled slightly.

    “They have stabilized her heart rhythm and they’re watching her closely,” she smiled.  It was a small victory, she thought to herself.  There was a long way to go yet.  This patient was not out of the woods by any means.

    Kit sighed.  “So she’s okay?”

    “For now.”  Cautious optimism was Grace Pell’s mantra.  “Let’s tell Bette.”

    4. Thank you for the new update. This story is so well done! I love the juxtaposition of Bette’s past and present and how you have them playing out. Please let Tina get better! PPS!

    5. wow… i agree with the others… just keep tina safe and let her get better…. bit keep posting… love the flash backs… and love this story…pps

    7. I really love these small visits into their past – but for Bettes sake and our sanity – keep Tina safe and let her wake up soon. Thanks for a great story.

    12. What an honest, romantic conversation between the couple. Simply beautiful. I see why Bette committed that anniversary celebration to her memory and how it’s somehow serving as her own lifeline as she keeps vigil at the hospital. Thank you for focusing this and the previous “NC17” chapters not on the sexual act itself but on the depth of the intimacy they share. No blow-by-blow account of their bedroom activities: what a relief! Tina’s medical condition is quite scary but I have an inkling she’ll make it. I trust you when you said in a previous author note that this is a love story more than anything else, not a tragedy. Thanks a lot for sharing this moving love story, Nell. Looking forward to more of your posts. =)

    15. This story has Bette and me at the end of our rope almost. Please let Tina get better real soon, Bette and I can’t take the strain. Bette is almost completely broken, one more setback and she too, will become a patient. Hopefully Bette will be up to speed with her reflections of their lives and love. AS Kit thought they will lose Bette too if Tina doesn’t get well. Thanks for sharing such a great story.
