The question sent Tina to a trance. She secretly closed her eyes, and remembered their wedding. “We had a summer wedding almost ten years ago.” Ten years, this month.
He seemed impressed. “Woah, that’s a very long time.”
“Yes, yes it is.” “Longer even, when you’re not with the person you love.”
He pulled out a file, more than a dozen pages of it, and quickly browsed over. Pointing his finger to an illustration, he nodded. “Do you see this particular segment of DNA?”
Tina took a closer look at the spiral structure.
“Well, there are apparently two fragments of mutated DNA in the promoter section of this gene, which is proven to be the key of inheriting the primary progressive—”
“No, wait, what does it mean?” Tina could not bear the scientific terms any longer.
The doctor sorted through his thought for a moment. “It means that Bette has partially inherited the mutated gene.”
“Partially? Then will she develop the syndromes?”
“There’s always a possibility, Tina,” He remembered to call her by her name. “but you see most generally, it takes a lot more than two fragments of dominant mutations to compose such a complicated disease.” He dragged the file to its end and read some of the annotations, then returned to some page. “Ah, look, there’re lots of other mutated DNA sequences, just like you and I. People have flawed genes, but the flaw doesn’t always present itself.”
“So, you’re saying…”
“The likelihood of Bette developing primary progressive multiple sclerosis is extremely small, so small, smaller than…” he tapped his chin and chuckled,“than Bette having alopecia.”
“Baldness?”
“Yeah, one of her grandfathers must have it.” He shook his head and grinned. “If she’s gonna get bald, she probably have to reassign her gender. You see, hormone controls…” He was ready to start another lecture on why very few female get bald.
But Tina wasn’t hearing him. She was interpreting this, her mind spinning in a frenzy like a blender. “So the chance of her being a PPMS sufferer is about the odd of her being a man…?”
“I wouldn’t put it that way but… yes, at this age, there’s been no sign of disease on her scans or her blood tests, we can strongly believe that she’s gonna be fine.” He smiled, feeling relieved himself. It was the best part of his job that he got to deliver good news to the family members. And he couldn’t find a better way to celebrate it by starting another long “fascinating” lecture on the scientific facts about human genes.

I couldn’t imagine to have any more supporters than I do on this site. It’s just overwhelming, in a good way. You have all been so good and encouraging. And I’m no longer bothered by the rating, so I’m leaving it on. There’s just enjoyment to write and post.
shoutout to: mscully, BOP, wkm, Bibi28, SassyGran, mamadoc91, pinky3001, bettporterjb, tibettenation1, scribe, didi1956, lipitora, kingg, CobbSalad, ut, and majicspider60. Thank you very much! I always respond to comments right after I post a new chapter.
And for the World Cup fans, I can’t say I’m not shocked to see the game between Brazil and Germany. I even shed tears at the end of it. But don’t be discouraged, it’s just one game and it can neither deny the glory, or the future of this wonderful team. So, hopefully, it’ll still be a great game with Holland.
And as for the champion, I am a fan of the Argentina’s, and I find Messi very cute. :)
Peace
Yeah, a update, i’m so glad Bette will be allright and doesn’t have that terrible disease.
And i am very pleased that you are going to continue with writing more of this story, they need happy times.
As for the World Cup, i am from Holland and i hope they will win from Brazilië.
As for the final, i will go for Argentina.
Thanks for the update.
Awww, congratulations on the victory. And so sad that Argentina didn’t win the cup eventually. But it had been a great season!
More happy times for Bette and Tina! Please continue to read and comment! :)
Lovely and wonderful! Now on to some make up romance!
Meant to ask – any chance of continuing “The Lucky One”?
Thanks! More romance there will be then!
And to your question, yes. I’m still plotting! And it takes a lot of patience for my readers because I’m a slow writer. :p
Worth waiting for but had trouble with my Contact Lenses again – seem to keep making my eyes tearful! Couldn’t possibly be your story could it?
Can we now have Bette back healthy and romantic with her wonderful Tina – please?
I’m with mamadoc91, any chance of continuing ‘The Lucky One’?
Being English I’m not commenting of the World Cup!!
Hahahaha, it was a good sign that you keep tearing up. I admit I was counting on that.
And yes to continuing the Lucky One. I’d love to keep the story alive, but after we changed to this site, I thought a lot of readers had forgotten about that story.
Now that I know you haven’t. I’ll try to post more chapters on that one.
Thank you, and hope you’ll enjoy more.
So glad things worked out. Love the story, thanks
And I’m glad that you loved it. Thank you for commenting!
Thank you so much despite the busy schedule of world cup you managed to post before the final.
Indeed another amazing chapter, Bette finally declaring her love again to Tina…. looking forward for the renewal of their vows , honeymoon , another baby perhaps…
Good luck in FIFA .
Hmmm, good thoughts. I’m thinking wedding, honeymoon and another baby too!
Thank you for reading and commenting!
Excellent My heart is at peace knowing that
our dear bette does not have the illness of his mother.
I approve you make this long story, I hope it lasts
some 200 chapters, because their fans will be grateful, wort.
I love the way you write this story.
Congratulations!!
(Now as the World Cup: it’s kinda hard to say in words
feeling that hit us in Brazil, never on 100 years of
Cup lost that way, do not know if you can understand me
how was humiliating we take x 7 1 without at least our players
fight on, as was the game of Holland and Argentina who fought until the last minute. will take
long time to heal this wound.
It is very difficult trying esplicar this sense of defeat because we love football, and
especially for me I’ve been a soccer player (not professional) who also
dreams of one day seeing our women’s team win a world one day …
I’ll cheer for Germany.
Bibi28 the best man win (today) bjs for everyone!
Wow, 200 chapters… I’d love to write hundreds and thousands of chapters just for Bette and Tina. But that’s a little bit difficult to achieve, isn’t it.
I’ll try, nevertheless :)
Ahhh, it’s still been a great season for football fans. I cheer for Brazil and Germany, and Holland, and Argentina. Great game!
Bjs… is that beijos? I don’t know much Portuguese but I read a lot Paulo Coelho, and I’ve learned Spanish, found them both very beautiful languages. :)
Omg please tell me theres about to be another wedding, and im soooo happy Bette was ok. So much has happen between these two that it seems they never get a break one thing after another smh..hopefully.good times ahead..but I also agree you should definitely update the Lucky One that was also a good story…great chapter!
Yes, I believe the wedding is coming our way!
Since lots of my readers have brought up the Lucky One, I actually feel more obligated to continue plotting on that one. So, after this story is finished, I’ll return to it!
Thanks for reading and commenting. xoxo
That was awesome and glad Bette is going to be ok. Love them
Yeah, I actually felt relieved when I wrote it too. And I had to look up on wikipedia for references. hahaha that was fun.
So glad to see an update ! They’re so cute together :-)
Please post soon !
Yeah, they’re too cute. I can’t help but want to make their interaction cuter.
Thanks for commenting!
Just started reading this story when ch. 21 was posted, then went back and read from the beginning. Forgot that I did read the beginning chapter and maybe the second one. At any rate I read every chapter and I truly love this story. Happy that you will write more of the story and they do need to have more happiness together as a couple and as parents to Angelo. Bette needs the time to show Tina just how much she loves her and has missed her so much, even though she tried to pretend that she did not. Thanks for posting.
You’re absolutely right. They both have suffered a lot for their mistakes and I believe that all the suffering only bring them closer in the end.
Now it’s time to be happy. And maybe more kids? I’m thinking about lots of options here.
:)
I’m so glad that Bette’s disease is not serious. the scene in the hospital until has been investigated her, it was so much fun. the drugged Bette very funny. I wonder what Tina told her to lie still? ;)
I’m really glad that the small debate quickly resolved between them. I hope that was only good things will happen to them.
I like all the others: I want more from this story so many chapters! :-)
Oh hey, I got your PM, thank you very much!
You’ll find out what Tina told her, guaranteed something good btw :p
That’s very sweet that you want this story to last. And I’ll try in the according time to write more.
Thanks again. Hope you like the next chapter. xoxo
Thanks God Bette will be o.k.PPS
Yeah, it’s a relief. I’ll try to keep up with the posting. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
