    Questions and Answers

     

    James: But I thought that youd want some help sorting the invoicesI dont want you to fall behind schedule because I abandoned you.

     

    Bette: James, youre not abandoning me. Im telling you to leave. Ill do fine here by myself. There are more important things than work. I want you to go and be there for Scott and his Mom.

     

    James: If youre sureI really appreciate this. (pauses) Ill see you bright and early tomorrow morning.

     

    Bette: Goodnight James.

     

    James: Night Boss.

     

    He leaves, closing the door behind him. Bette turns back to the papers littering her desk. She starts to make notes in the margins, adding her own input to Leos ideas.  However, her concentration wanes after only a few minutes. Sighing she places her pen on the desk and leans back in her chair, tipping her head back against the cushion and closing her eyes.  Her thoughts had a bad habit of occupying her mind at the most inappropriate times and she cant help but to think back to consultation she had earlier that day.

    The receptionist leads Bette down the hall to Dr. Stewards office and gestures her inside.  Dr. Steward is sitting at his desk thumbing through some files. He runs a blunt, weathered hand though his gray, receding hairline and pinches the bridge of his nose tiredly, before placing excessively thick rimmed glasses on his brow. He looks up as she enters

     

    Dr. Steward: Ms. Porter, please have a seat. (she sits). I have the results of your blood work. I just have a few questions to go through first.

     

    Bette: Please, call me Bette.

     

    Dr. Steward: Ok, Bette. Just to go over some backgroundwhen was you last gynecological exam?

     

    Bette: About six months ago.

     

    Dr. Steward:  And did they take a pap smear and do a mammogram?

     

    Bette: Yes. Everything came back normal.

     

    Dr. Steward: Good. Thats good. (pauses, as he reads a page on his desk) Ok. Have there been any significant changes in you life? A change of employment or a move, perhaps?

    Say in the past year or so. Anything that would cause undo stress?

     

    Bette: (laughs) You could say that. My jobwell lets just say its a high maintenance position.  But Ive been doing it for yearsits something that Im become accustomed to. Right now were a little more hectic than normal, but its nothing that I havent been able to handle. (pauses) I have beenwell Im currently going through a separation.  My partner and I were together for seven years.

    6. you and cliffhangers…so Bette told Melvin off. I wouldhave loved to see that on the show during the 1st season. So I guess there’s more to Bette’s health than stress. Don’t make her too sick, but if you do, then let Tina provide TLC.
      Glad to hear ‘classic Bette’ is coming back. Helena’s gonna get it!
