Bette drove frantically to Shaolin Studios. What is going on with Tina? Why is she in pain? Bette blew stop signs and ran red lights all over West Hollywood to get to Tina. She slammed on her brakes as she got in front of the building and jumped out, not bothering to close her door. She ran up the stairs and into the lobby where she saw Jenny sitting.

“Hey Bette.”

“Jenny please go and open the passenger door and watch my car,” she ordered as she ran by her. Jenny raced to Bette’s car obeying her orders and Bette kept running to Tina’s office looking like a crazy woman to the few that saw her. She came to Tina’s door and opened it. Tina was curled in a little ball on the floor crying, holding her stomach. Tee. All the adrenaline was radiating through Bette’s body. She knelt down and picked her wife up and carried her out, she walked as fast as she could to her car. She was catching many worried glances from Tina’s co-workers as she walked by. She walked through the lobby and Jenny quickly opened the door for Bette and she gently placed her in the car. She then frantically drove to the hospital, trying to keep her composure.

“Baby, we’re almost there, k?”

“Bette, it hurts. Why is it hurting?”

“I don’t know Tee, but we’ll find out ok?”

“Ok,” Tina said in a voice so small and she sobbed the whole way there. Bette held her hand the entire way. She parked in the emergency parking and pulled Tina out of the car and carried her into the hospital. The nurses and a doctor frantically took Tina from a scared Bette. All she could do for the next hour was wait, pace the waiting room and ignore calls from their friends, obviously Jenny had spread the word. Finally the doctor came out.

“Bette Porter?”

“Yes, I am Bette Porter, what’s the diagnosis? Is the baby ok,” Bette asked her heart beating so fast.

“Ms. Porter, I’m doctor Torrez.”

“Tell me doctor, what happened to my wife?”

“Tina is fine. Unfortunately the fetus has stopped thriving.”

“So our son, is,” Bette said, she didn’t even want to say it, “how did this happen?”
