Realizing – Chapter 20
Tina leaves and drives over to the hospital and up to Martin’s floor. She asks in the reception, which room he’s in.
“He’s in room 609. Third door on the left.” The lady says.
“Thank you.” Tina says.
“She walks down the hall and softly knocks on the door before entering.
She sees Martin laying there, his legs is lifted a little up because of the cast. And his head is wrapped in bandages and he has a oxygen mask covering his face.
She walks over to the bedside and softly touching his hand. He opens his eyes.
“Hey.” She says.
He gives her a little smile.
“Can you talk?” Tina asks.
“Yes.” He replies slowly and in a whisper.
“How are you feeling?” Tina asks.
“Like I got hit by a car.” Martin whispers.
Tina smiles but is sad.
“You always knew how to joke.” Tina says.
“Tina, do you k now anything about the accident? No one has told me anything.” Martin says.
“I do know. The woman died. I’m sorry. The little boy, Evan is jus fine. He’s staying with me and Bette.” Tina says.
Tears are forming in his eyes.
“He’s really okay?” He asks.
“Yes, he’s really okay. He’s a really sweet and good kid.” Tina says.
“I can’t wait to get to know him.” Martin says softly.
“If you want I can bring him tomorrow. I thought that I would check on you first, before bringing him here. Maybe wait until you’re a little better? It’s up to you.” Tina says.
“I think you’re right. I’m glad that he’s with you.” Martin says.
“Mrs. Brentwood only had my name with yours. I’m still your emergency contact. And when she asked me to take on the boy I couldn’t say no. He’s so little and I couldn’t let her send him into foster homes.” Tina says.
“I’m glad you took him. You’re a really good mother, so is Bette.” Martin says.
“Thank you.” Tina says.
“How long are you able to keep him?” Martin asks.
“Well, we’re moving to London, Bette is going over there in two weeks already. I’ll follow a three to four weeks later.” Tina says.
“London? Wow.” Martin says.
“Yeah. Bette got a job offer she couldn’t say no to, so we’re moving there. It’s only for a year though.” Tina says.
“Okay. Well I guess I have to get better really soon then.” Martin says.
“Yeah, but take your time. I don’t want to you over do it. We’ll figure something out. Don’t worry.” Tina says and smiles down at him.
“Can you tell me something about Evan? I only say him for about 10 minutes.” Martin says.
“Sure. He’s honest and nice and so sweet. He’s scared of men. Apparently a Samuel, mom’s boyfriend hit him and her when they didn’t do what he wanted. He was really reserved around Bette in the beginning. I guess she is the ‘male’ figure in the house. But it’s better now. Love and care will help him through that.” Tina says.
“Oh my God, that’s why they came. They ran from this man. I asked Rachel why she came now, she wouldn’t tell me.” Martin says.
Tins sees that Martin is tired from all the talking.
“Martin, I’ll let you sleep. You’re tired.” Tina says.
“I’m not that tired.” Martin says.
“You are, I see it in your eyes. I know you, remember.” Tina says and smiles.
“Yeah…” Martin says, he’s looking into her eyes.
“You’re happy.” Martin says after a few moments of silence.
“I am.” Tina replies.
“Yeah, I see it in your eyes. Your eyes never had so much spark in them. You’re glowing sort of. I can see that you made the right decision for you.” Martin says.
“Yeah. I never meant to hurt you. I still love you. But only as a friend.” Tina says and takes his hand in hers.
“I love you too.” He says and smiles.
“I’ll let you sleep. I’ll come by tomorrow again. I will not bring Evan tomorrow either then. Get you a little better and have some of your strength back first.” Tina says.
“Yeah. Could you maybe bring a picture?” Martin asks.
“Sure. I’ll take a few this afternoon. Bette sends get better thoughts. See you tomorrow.” Tina says and leans down and kisses his cheek.
“Yes, see you tomorrow.” Martin says as Tina walks towards the door and out.

I agree with Lgirl87 unless she means they are moving him to the floor above the current one…poor Marty. At least he got to talk to Tina and knew his son was okay. Bette and Tina are such good parents. He’s only 4…he’ll get used to London. Keep posting
Excellent as always!

“Oh my, that is some drama. Will Martin be okay?” Helena asks. Helena took the words right out of my mouth ;-)
Hey Lauren, Best wishes for your results as I am sure you did everything you needed to do. Wonderful to have you back and continuing this brilliant story. After all of the hurt and horror that Ecan has seen it is awesome to have him in a loving and patient family. Bette and Tina have opened their arms and their hearts to this lonely little boy. I am sure that seeing this honest and open relationship will be just what the doctor ordered from him. Good to see that Martin is beginning to make a recovery as this child needs his father. As the gals are movign soon I think that there will be more trauma in their future and I can’t wait to see where your fabulous words take me. Many thanks for this fantastic fan fiction. Your Loyal Fan.
