Dana stood in the hallway with tears streaming down her face she felt her legs give way and she slid down the wall crying uncontrollably, Bette’s face was pale and she was shaking she had never saw anything like that before and to be honest she was terrified. Bette reached down and pulled Dana up off the floor and into a tight hug, she couldn’t think of anything to say that would make either of them feel any better so they stayed like that crying. When the room door opened a few minutes later and Michelle appeared in front of them, she took them to the Family room again and told them to wait there that she would be back to tell them what was going on as soon as she knew. For Bette and Dana this seemed to take forever, an hour must have passed and still not a word spoken between them just looks of worry. Finally Michelle came in the room.

"Dana, Bette…" she started to talk

"What is it? Is she ok?" Dana asked before she could any other words out of her mouth.

"Dana, Alice has just had a seizure, most likely due to the swelling in the brain, its a common thing to happen after a head trauma, we have gave her some medication which has helped and now she is away for another scan, I know that we just did one this morning but we need to make sure that everything is still ok." she smiled reassuringly at Bette. Bette let out a deep sigh and sat back down in the chair she put her head in her hands, Dana reached over and took her hand. "Alice will be back in about 30 minutes so if you want to stay in here that’s fine, can I get you anything?" Michelle asked Dana and Bette.

"No thanks, I really appreciate everything that you are doing for Alice and for us. I think I will take a walk in the hospital grounds, I can’t stand it in here, I won’t be long." Dana said as she got up and walked over to the door.

"Do you want me to come with you Dane?" Bette asked but she already knew that Dana wanted to be alone she just wanted her to know she was here for her if she needed her. Dana shook her head and walked out the door. She walked out into the hospital car park and round to the garden, she sat on a bench at the bottom of the garden which looked out over the city. She stayed there for awhile thinking about what had just happened, then she headed back up to see if Al was back yet. When she got up to intensive care Bette was sitting back in with Alice.
