As the night had turned into morning and the morning into afternoon, she was getting more and more worried about Tina but the blonde kept insisting it was nothing serious.

“Hey” Tina said to Bette approaching the table. She was dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants, her hair was a mess and she looked pale but to Bette she was still the most beautiful woman in the world.

“Feeling Better” Bette asked concerned. She had been a little angry that Tina had not wanted to go to the hospital.

Tina shook her head as she pulled out a chair and threw herself into it. She laid her head on the table.

“Tee, I think it’s time for you to go to the hospital”

“No! I’m feeling better” She tried to sit up straight and put on smile but failed miserably as surge of pain ran through her. She put her hand to her mouth and ran to bathroom slamming the door shut.

Bette ran after her only to have the door slammed in her face. “Fuck…Tee, I’m taking you to the ER whether you like it or not” she yelled at the closed door. She heard moaning and retching on the other side of the door. Bette reached for the handle, she held back Tina’s hair from her face rubbing her neck.

“I’m here, babe, I’ll take care of you”

Tina spewed out more rank liquid from her stomach. Bette felt so sorry for her the blonde’s pain was also her pain. When she was finished Bette flushed the toilet as she helped her up to her feet. Taking great care they walked to bedroom together Bette laid Tina down on the bed covering her with the blanket.

She stroked Tina’s perfect face, hazel eyes stared back at her with love and trust. Tears formed in Bette’s eyes to see her beloved in so much pain and she couldn’t do anything to ease it.   

“Tee, I’m really worried about you.” She broke down “I don’t want to lose you.”

Tina nodded, tears in her eyes also. She didn’t want to lose Bette either.

“What if it’s serious” Tina asked. Her voice sounded broken and scared.

Bette couldn’t even imagine what her life would be like without Tina. Life wouldn’t be worth living with no Tina to come home to every night. “Don’t think that way, Tee. Everything is going to be alright, I promise” she pulled her wife in her arms.
