    Author Notes:

    Code Blue, Room C121…Bette remembers their anniversary night

    They walked over to the younger women, who immediately glanced up.  Bette stood, sensing a change.

    “She has stabilized.”

    Bette sat heavily and a stream of tears washed down her cheeks in uncontrolled torrents.  Shane met Kit’s gaze with an expression of profound relief.  Tina had to make it or Bette wouldn’t.  They would lose both of them.  Maybe not to death, but the Bette they knew would die with her wife.  She believed that in her heart and shivered with the thought.

    Kit squatted down to her younger sister’s eye level so she could speak quietly with her.

     “She’s okay Baby Girl,” she said reassuringly, cupping her hands over Bette’s knees.  “Listen to me now Bette.  You can’t break down.  Tina needs you to be strong so that when she wakes up you can be there for her.  You can’t go fallin’ completely apart  just when she’s counting on you most. You hear what I’m sayin’?  You have got to be strong.  And we’re all here for you, you know that.  Shane and I and the girls.  We’ll all lean on each other and wait for Tina.  Okay?  She’s gonna come back to you.  Have a little faith in your girl.  She’s no quitter, that’s for damn sure,” she said with a knowing smile, shaking her head.  Bette looked up, hearing what Kit didn’t say, reading between the lines. 

    The nurse had excused herself to check on Tina and several other patients and promised to return in a little while with an update.

     

    It was morning; early yet but light outside.  Somebody needed to call the girls and give them an update, Shane said, stretching her arms over her head with a yawn, and turned to Kit. 

    “I’ll give Helena a call.  I’m gonna need coffee before I speak to Alice,” she said without irony.  She looked at the older Porter sister sitting with an arm around Bette whose elbows were positioned on her knees, chin on her clasped hands.

    “Coffee for you two?” 

    Kit nodded.

     “Will do.  Okay.  Right back.” 

     

    “Bette, you have to get some sleep,” Kit implored softly.

    “I told you, I’m not sleeping until Tina wakes up.” Bette’s voice was low but sharp.

    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.
