Longed For Ch3

EARTH

Bette is born at 3am screaming the place down…….Something is missing…  Bette can’t work it out.  She wants to get up and run but is unable to do anything.  Why can’t she just get up and move around. What has happened to her?  

Bette felt like she was flying and became scared she shouted out but only a dull scream came out.  She was totally alone and had never been so afraid.  She tried to focus on the voices she could here.  

They were all cooing over her, saying how happy she was here safe and sound.  Bette knew she was hungry and was still crying.  She felt herself being held close and something being put in her mouth.  She sucked on it gratefully and her mouth filled with liquid.  It scared her at first but then she swollowed and found she liked it.  She drank until she couldn’t drink anymore.

She felt tired but didn’t want to go to sleep. She had to get out of there and find what was missing. She started crying again.  Even though she was being held close she felt so alone.

 
Tina sat watching Bette struggling with being born.  She woundered if she would find it as hard.  She so wanted to go to Bette let her know she was there for her and hold her as close as her earth mother was.  She was jealous of the woman holding Bette because she wanted to so badly.

"Oh god Bette.  I miss you so much already.  My heart is breaking from not being able to hold you close.  I love you so much babe."

Bette’s ears pricked up.  What was that?  Did she hear it right?  Someone saying they loved her and missed her.  Who was it?  She recoginised the voice.  Why couldn’t she remember the name?  Come on Bette think.

Tina looked amazed Bette had heard her.  At the top of her lungs she shouted,

"I LOVE YOU BETTE.  I LOVE YOU.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND NEVER WILL BE.  I PROMISE I WILL FIND YOU AND WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.  I PROMISE."

Bette heard it clearer this time and knew what she heard was true.  She wasn’t alone and never would be.  A memory flickered in her mind.  A face of pure beauty with blue eyes and blonde hair.  A gorgeous woman.  Smiling at her.  Then it was gone.  Only the echo of a promise maid remaind in her thoughts.
