A week went by and Bette was still taking care of Tinas every needbut the appointment was coming up soon, and Bette had to prepare to get Tina there, and prepare for what news they may receivesaying prayers every night, that it would be good newsgod knows Tina has been through enough as it isThey were still sleeping in the same bed..but never together never touching one anotherBette wouldnt allow itshe couldnt allow it.she couldnt slide back into the comfortableness againjust to be hurtbut she wanted to do everything she could to help Tina through this horrible time
Appointment time came, and Bette went in to wake Tina up
Tinacome on..wake up said Bette as she tapped her on the armT..come on
Tina started to stir and woke up Ummm..just another 5 minutes, I didnt sleep well last night
Believe me, I know you didnt..but your appointment is in an hour, and I have to get you showered and dressed
Ummmokay said Tina in a tired voiceas she rolled over..well, as good as she could with a cast..
Bette helped her into the bathroom..started the shower, and helped her in T, be carefulplease dont slipthats all we need, is for you to break the other leg said Bette
I wontI may not be up to par, but atleast I do have one leg to stand on
Bette stood there, and felt the butterflies again, as she watched Tina bathe herself
Bette, can you get my back please? asked Tina as she handed her the puff, and slowly turned around..
Yea.. Bette grabbed the puff and started washing Tinas backslowly making her way in circles down to the wonderful shaped ***** of her wife. Umm Bette moaned under her breath. Much more of this, and I may have to give in.just a littlebut I dont want to make love to Tina if I cant deal with the emotional stress that comes along with it
Here.. said Bette as she handed the puff back to Tina. Im gonna get you a towel
Bette walked out and stood outside the door. Wewcalm down Porter she said to herself
She got the towel and went back into the bathroom.. Come on..T.. lets get you out ..she turned the water off, and helped Tina out of the shower.Bette got her dried off and dressed.then they made their way to the car.
I can stop by The Planet and get you some breakfast if you are hungry..
I dont think that I can eat, but thank you though.. said Tina
They arrived at the docs office.and Bette parkedshe started to get out of the car before Tina grabbed her arm Wait.. and she fell silent
Bette just sat there silently until she couldnt take it anymore.Tina wasnt saying anything.. Tinaspeak..

Anytime you need me, I will be there.. said Bette with a smileas she got out of the car and walked around to the other side.she opened the passenger door T..do you want the crutches or would you like my help?
I guess I will use the crutches..but I may need your shoulder before we get out of here said Tina as she climbed out of the car slowly.Bette grabbed her arm to help her
They walked inside the office, and Tina sat down..well, fell down..into the chair..Bette went to the window to write Tinas name down on the patient list..then sat down across from Tina, putting the casted leg into her lap This may be a little more comfortable she said smiling at Tina
It is, thank you.. smiled Tina
They sat there for what seemed like forever.before Tinas name was calledBette helped her up. And they entered their given room
As they sat there and waited for what seemed like forever, in silence.Bette walked around and looked at practically everything.picking them up to inspect them.until she almost got caught with a speculum in hand, by the door opening and Dr. Wilson walking in..
*****. she said as she threw it down really quickTina laughing at hershe walked back over to the table next to her wife.Tina drew in a deep breath.. Calm down..take a deep breath insisted Bette
Im trying.. said Tina I really am
I know sweetie
HelloTina said Dr. Wilson. Hi. Tina answered
Bette she said as she touched her on the arm
Dr.Wilson
Looks like everything got out of handBette, you beatin up on your wife now? asked Dr. Wilsonlaughing.and pointing at the cast
Uhhh.I, actually, I told her to shut up, and she thought I said stand up laughed Bette..
Bettestoppit said Tina. That is not what happened
Sorry, Tactually Dr. Wilson, Tina was in a horrible accident a couple of weeks agoShe is lucky that she is living, much less walking in a cast said Bette as she rubbed her hand down the back of Tinas head
Im glad that you are okay..I knew about the accidentI was only joking
Me too.. said Bette.
Okay Tina said Dr. Wilson as she pulled up a chair in front of the table I think I know why you are here..you have already found out that you are pregnantI have your records from the ER trip when you had the accident.and you know what happened, am I correct?
Tina looked up at Bette and then back at Dr. Wilson, YesI do know what happened
While you were there, they did a DNCso your chances of having children after that are still goodso you will be able to soon try for another
Um..noactually I dont want children said Tina.staring straight ahead
Bette looked down at her. You cant be serious, T..
Betteplease..not now said Tina still staring at nothing
Alright, well we also have the results from your HIV test..during your first E.R visit
Tina and Bette both breathed in at the same time.Bette looked at Tina Everything will be fineI promise she said hoping that she could somehow keep that promise
