“Please, I’ve flown for a day, I just want to see her.” Bette implored the young doctor.
Doctor Fielding acquiesced and escorted Bette to the private room in which Tina resided.
Bette silently made her way into the stark room. A heart rate monitor beeped rhythmically beside the bed where Tina lay. Bette’s heart skipped a beat as she looked over her wife, apart from the dressing on her shoulder, Tina looked perfectly normal, as though it were any other day.
Placing her overnight back down beside the door, Bette stepped to the edge of the bed and took Tina’s hand in her own. She ran her thumb back and forth over Tina’s familiar skin as she watched her wife sleep.
“She’ll be out for a least another three or four hours if you wanted to get something to eat or some rest.” The doctor offered as she looked over Tina’s chart.
Bette just smiled politely as she pulled the guest chair over and settled in at Tina’s side. “I’d prefer to wait here, I don’t want her waking up alone.”
“Of course” The doctor responded, “Well, I’ll check back in on Tina this afternoon.” With that, Doctor Fielding left, closing the door behind her.
Bette reached into her pocket, retrieved her phone and dialled her sister.
“Baby girl, we’ve been so worried, what news do you have?”
“I’m with her in the hospital, she’s going to be ok.” Bette replied quietly.
“Oh thank God, Bette, thank God.”
“She was shot in the shoulder and has a couple of broken ribs but it’ll all heal.” Bette said as she looked back up at Tina’s face. “Can you please let Shane know and the others?”
“Just as soon as I get off this call.” Kit promised.
“Thanks, Kit. I’ll call you again later, ok?”
“You go take care of Tina now.”
“Bye Kit”
“Bye Bette”
Bette placed her phone on the arm of the chair and reached out for Tina’s hand again, anxious to feel the warmth in her wife’s skin, needing to confirm she wasn’t dreaming. With nothing to do but wait, Bette finally allowed herself to relax. Too exhausted to fight them anymore, tears traced down her cheeks as she kissed her wife’s hand and silently offered thanks for the fact that Tina lay breathing before her.

Hey HG, SO tender and loving. I could feel Bette’s anxiety and then relief when she saw her partner in one piece, safe and sound in the hospital. Yes, the physical injuries will heal quickly but the mind can be difficult however Tina has Bette in her corner so she is heads ahead already.So poetically written.More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
This is really exciting, but poor Tina, poor Bette.
Tina is physically alive but will face many other issues in the coming days. She will probably suffer from PTS.
This story is just breaking my heart…I feel so badly for both of them. Neither of them is the ‘bad guy’…just horrible outside circumstance. I hope Bette is eventually able to bring back the Tina that she and Angie love. I’m going to keep my hope. Thank your for your story.
Always enjoy reading your wonderfully written posts. Thank you.
Just caught up with, well, all of your stories. Fantastic. More, please!
Your stories are amazing. I would love for you to finish this one. You can’t just leave us hanging for 14 months!!!
Beautiful story to read and sad as well hope the reunion goes smooth.
I’m so glad you updated. I was hoping you would. Enjoyed it, more please.
Hope Tina wakes up with her mental state intact. PPS
Glad Bette found her alive and well, relatively speaking. The mental state will be the problem when they are home connected with the guilt that she is alive and everyone else is dead and she couldn’t stop it. So this is why Tina is not feeling anything for anyone at the moment. Bette needs to get her into therapy as soon as they get home, if she will go. It’s great that you are giving us the background for the story. Also I suppose we will learn why Tina was is Malaysia in the first place, and how many people were with her. I guess a location shoot for a movie she is producing. What happened was very sad and the fact that no one else lived but that is what happens when another country’s government is unstable. Anything can happen at anytime. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Wonderful story…wonderful writing…thank you.
The problems are just beginning.Thank you for the update.PPS
Great chapter, thanks HG.
Thank you for updating. I’m so glad that bette is there with Tina. Thank you.

Maybe we (I) will be lucky and have a new post for the holidays? Please continue HackGirl.
That was somewhat painful at the first chapter, when you read what Tina was going to do to our poor angel Angie, and then very painful when you find out what happened to Tina, but through it all you had hope because you also saw the love that Bette has for Tina.
