Tina answered, “My head hurts like hell, but I’ll live because I’m living for you, sweetie.”

Bette kissed Tina’s hand again and as she did it, she kept on saying,

“I love you, I love you, I love you!”

Alice and Shane came into the room and Alice cracked,

“Yup I knew it, as soon as Tina woke up, Bette would be having her lips on her, at least some part of her!”

Shane snickered,

“Yeah but it has kept them going!”

Bette and Tina stared up at Alice and Shane, and then giggled.

Alice asked,

“So how are you feeling?”

Tina answered while gazing at Bette,

“I’m better now since my wife is here with me.”

Bette leaned in and kissed Tina on the lips while Alice and Shane looked on, touched by this and relieved that Tina is wide awake.

 Bette replied,

“And I’ll always be by your side.”

Alice rolled her eyes and said,

“I do think this is touching, but at the same time this reminds me of a harlequin romance novel, so stop it!”

Bette smirked at Alice and hit her with another wisecrack,

“At least it isn’t science fiction!”

Everyone started laughing, when Tina stared at Alice and asked,

“How have you been lately?”

Alice sighed,

“It’s fucking hard honestly, but I’ve got you’ve guys to hang around with.”

Tina reached out her hand and Alice took it and squeezed it.  Tina said,

“Again I am so sorry for what you went through, but eventually you will get on with your life as Dana would want you to.”

Alice nodded and managed to choke up the words,

“Thank you.”

The doctor came into the room and asked everyone to leave for a bit and Alice and Shane left the room, while Bette remained in the chair, still holding Tina’s hand.  The doctor said in a condescending tone to Bette,

“You need to leave, ma’m.”

Bette shot him a look and snapped,

“Tina is my wife and I’m staying!”

The doctor gave Tina a questionable look and Tina couldn’t help but also snap,

“Yes, she is my wife! We’re married!”

The doctor backed off, then explained,

“I’ve went over your chart and the tests that we took earlier when you awoken up from your coma and there is no lacerable damage to the brain or any other kind of damage to it. However, we still need to keep you in the hospital for a few weeks because of your collarbone and leg.”
