One week before Tina’s surgery, Bette came in early at work, told James she didn’t want to be disturbed, shut the door behind her and burst into tears. The last time she had cried like that was at her mother’s funeral. Tina still hadn’t decided what type of surgery she would have and it tore Bette apart to see her baby going through this ordeal.
She grabbed the flower vase on her desk and threw it hard against the wall, letting her anger rise inside her. Her mother had died of lung cancer and now it shook her to the core that this horrible disease had stricken the woman she loved. She knew Tina’s prognosis was good, even excellent, but she had a hard time dealing with all this. She hadn’t shown this side of her to her wife… In front of Tina, she was strong, because that’s what she needed, but when she was alone…
Bette curled up on the couch and cried for her mother, for Tina and for everyone who had to fight this battle. Now was the time to let it all out, because when Tina would come home from the hospital, she’d have to be in control of her emotions. She cried for several long minutes and when the tears subsided, she went into her private bathroom and splashed cold water all over her face.
When she got home around five, Tina was already home, sitting in the kitchen and writing down in a leather-bound journal that Bette had never seen before. «Hey baby, you’re home early… Is everything OK?», Bette asked.
Her voice startled Tina who obviously hadn’t heard her come in. «I can’t concentrate on work right now, so I’ve asked for a leave of absence early», she said softly.
Bette stopped pouring her coffee and turned to Tina. «You have ?»
Bette sat next to her. «What are you writing?»
«My thoughts and my feelings about what I’m going through. Doing this seemed to give me a another perspective on things…». Tina put her pen down. «I almost called Dr Prescott today to tell him I wanted the mastectomy. That way, I’d be sure that the cancer wouldn’t be back, at least in that breast…»

milady this chapter was so heart warming and you could feel both womens pain concering Tina’s breast cancer, and w/friends like they have they can make it..great chapter
Wow! I cried all the way through this chapter. I hope everything turns out ok.
I am glad that this Bette accepts the help and love of family and friends. PPS.
Love is sometime the best medicine. Family and friends will see Tina and Bette through this. Just give Bette the strength to control herself. thanks
Tina wanted the mastectomy so she could be sure the cancer wouldn’t come back but it didn’t seem like she considered the reconstructive surgery I wonder why. I’m sure it would probably feel different but at least it would look normal. Tina has a great support system I love how these girls rally around each other. Happy endings please pps.
Why’d you go and make me cry? Great story!
had tears in my eyes reading this heart warming chapter, it’s good that B&T are there supporting each other though this and having there friends around as well shows that they are all truly a family
I cried during this chapter myself. I’m burying my father this weekend because of cancer. It’s heart-wrenching, but I love your story and how it’s being portrayed. Keep writing.
Hope Tina´s surgery goes well! Shane , Alice and Dana rock and Milady rocks too! :DGreat chapter and PPS
