    The LONG awaited Diagnosis


    Previously


    Kit: I’m sorry Bette.

    Bette: I’m not. No matter how hard it was to leave her there with Helena, it was worth everything to be able to see her again. When we huggedGod, I can’t even begin to describe how that felt.

    Kit: Have you called her since?

    Bette:
    Shewell she was pretty tied up with the center and we weren’t able to
    find a time to see each other again. (pauses) Butwell she said that
    she was going to give me a call this weekend to let me know when she’ll
    be free.

    Kit: (smiles) That’s good.

    Bette: That’s very good Kit.

    Kit: I’m happy for you. So happy.

    Bette:
    It feels great. Just knowing that she wants to see me again. (pauses)
    I’m not going to rush anything. I know that she’s dealing with this
    ‘situation’ with     Helena.

    Kit: I don’t understand that whole thing.

    Bette:
    Me neitherbut I’m really not in the position to judge her. (pauses)
    Look, it doesn’t matter. If things were that serious with     Helena, then she really wouldn’t have any reason to want to see me, right?

    Kit: Right.

    Just
    then Dr. Harris enters the office, carrying a large manila folder. She
    shakes Bette’s and Kit’s hands before sitting down across from them.
    Kit reaches over and takes Bette’s hand in her own. Dr. Harris spends a
    few moments reading though the results while Kit and Bette anxiously
    wait for her to speak.

    After a few moments, Dr. Harris looks up and makes eyes contact with first Kit then Bette.

    Dr. Harris: The results of you bone marrow aspiration have come in and the findings are conclusive.

    Bette: Whatwhat did they find?

    Dr. Harris: (sighs) Bette, I’m sorry

    ****************************************************************

    Chapter 11

    Bette
    almost laughed. Almost. Just minutes ago she had complained to Kit that
    this medical ordeal, from her first initial doctor’s appointment to the
    moment Dr. Harris walked back in to her office with the test results,
    had taken inordinately long. However,
    the second Dr. Harris started with ‘I’m sorry”, Bette felt as though
    time was catching up to her, at an alarmingly fast pace. She
    felt Kit’s already firm grip on her hand tighten. Bette felt a sudden
    rush of anxiety, a feeling that she often battled successfully at work. Only
    this time it bowled right over her, leaving her shocked and breathless.
    Her heart rate started to increase so much so, that she felt her head
    throb with every beat. She felt overwhelmed and trapped in the tiny office and wanted nothing more than to just get up and leave.

Tina want give up tho. She will fight Bette every step of the way. she will want to be with Bette and Bette will not accept her pity. thanks
