Bette: Good night, my precious angel. I love you.

Tina: Good night, my sweet darling. I love you too.

(The next morning, Bette woke up alone in the hospital bed and Bette immediately started to panic.)

Bette: Baby, where are you?? (Bette didn’t get an answer and she got very frantic) TINA!!

(A nurse came rushing in to see what was the matter.)

Nurse: What is wrong, Mrs. Kennard?

Bette (starting to cry): Where’s my wife?

Nurse: She is in the cafeteria getting some breakfast for both of you, don’t worry she’ll be back.  (After the nurse said that, Tina came into the room carrying breakfast and she noticed Bette crying.)

Tina: Honey, what’s wrong?  (Tina sat the breakfast down on the tray and she went to Bette and took her in her arms, holding her tightly.)

Bette (crying softly): I didn’t know where you were.

Tina: Oh sweetie, I just went to get breakfast, that’s all. You looked so peaceful sleeping; I didn’t want to disturb you.

Nurse: You see, Mrs. Kennard, she is here with you and everything is ok. Now let me take your pulse and heartbeat, then you can start chewing down.  (The nurse took Bette’s pulse and heartbeat.)  Hmmm, a little rapid in the pulse and heartbeat, but that is only because you panicked, so let’s keep that in check. (With that, the nurse left the room and Tina continued to hold the weepy Bette.)

Bette: I’m sorry,  but I’m feeling very needy right now and I just need you that’s all.

Tina: Don’t apologize, B. I need you as well, but let’s eat and maybe that will calm you down.

Bette: What did you get?

Tina: I got us sausage bacon sandwiches, hash browns and milk for breakfast.

Bette (wiped the tears from her eyes): Besides you calming me down, if that doesn’t do the trick, nothing will!

(Tina gave Bette her sandwich and milk and both started eating their breakfast.)

Bette (chewing on her sandwich): You don’t think this will give me food poisoning?

Tina (shaking her head and munching on her hash brown): I don’t think so, it’s from the hospital cafeteria and I’m sure they sanitize everything.
