The week went by slowly. Tina emerged herself in her work while Bette struggled with her classes, losing her concentration. She wished she could have taken a pill and sleep until Debbie called. Which she finally did…
«Bette, can you and Tina come by my office tonight?»
Bette didn’t like the sound of her voice. «What’s wrong?», she almost yelled.
«I never talk about results over the phone, Bette. Is seven OK?»
«We’ll be there…». Bette hung up and stared at her phone for a few minutes, then she called Tina at work.
«Hey baby… I just talked to Debbie and she wants to see us tonight at seven»
There was silence at the other end of the line. «Oh God, it must be bad news if she didn’t say anything else…», Tina said, her voice choking with emotion.
Bette held back her own tears. «We don’t know that…», but she wasn’t sure she believed a word she said. «I’ll be home by five», Tina told her before hanging up.
At dinner, neither of them had much of an appetite. They made small talk, avoiding the most important subject of their life. There would be plenty of time to do that if the news the doctor was about to give them was bad.
At seven on the dot, they were sitting across Dr Morris and her face said it all.
«Tina, I got your test results… There is no good way to tell you this… You have breast cancer», Dr Morris told her.
Bette saw Tina waver on her chair. The grim reality hit them in the guts. Bette felt like the air had been sucked out of her lungs, leaving her weak and limp. She could only imagine what Tina was feeling right now. She put her arm around her shoulders to give her comfort and let her know she was there for her.
«Oh God, oh God…», was all Tina could mutter. She began to cry and put her head on Bette’s shoulder. Dr Morris stood up. «I’ll leave you alone for a few minutes and then I’ll explain what lays ahead». She walked out of her office, silently closing the door behind her.
«We’ll beat this baby, I swear we will…», Bette told her wife, gently stroking her back. Tina was clinging to her, quietly weeping onto her shoulder. «I’ve never been so scared in my life», Tina whispered and each word cut into Bette’s heart. She would have traded places with her baby in a second if that had been possible.

i have faith you will keep tina safe… i know this is a very tough subject… PPS
Ok, I have faith in you and where you’re going with this.
You have special powers so you will put Tina healthy again i´m sure! :D Great chapter and PPS
I hope Tina will be okay, with Bette´s love, they´ll get through it. Please post soon :)
Heart wrenching, but a story that should be told no matter how hard it may be. PPS
I have all the faith in the world that you will write this story the very best way you can . Thank you I do hope you keep B&T safe. Tina may be going through this. Bette is also going to be full of self dought and wonder how she will be able to help and take care of Tina.
OMG, i can’t even imagine and yet it is such a part of so many people’s lives. You are very brave to tell this story, and those of your readers who have lived through this will be brave to read it. Great job, M’lady!!!! PPS
Bravo to you milady for writing about this subject and I am sure you will do it better justice then IC did on the show. As I have also been touched with this disease, my mom died of it and I myself have had two needle biopsies…both being negative. I think it is actually harder on the person that has to see their loved one go through this than the one going through it. Bette just needs to take her lead from Tina and not get hurt by anything that Tina might say or do which is not an easy task. Thank you for writing this wonderful story.
I all too well know what a heart wrenching and difficult thing it is to write a story or even tell/discuss anything around breast cancer. So hats off for you being so brave. I will have faith with you that you will write this story in a considerate and thoughtful manner. However as a complete and utter Tibette fan and for personal and selfish reasons make this one a happy ending please.PPS
Like the doctor said they caught it early so there is a great chance that everything will be fine after the surgery. If she has to have additional treatment Bette will be there every step of the way. Let’s all hope for the best we know it’s FF, but when we read it all seems so real. PPS
Whoa you really got me on this chapter M…..loved it!!!
Isn’t Tina pregnant?
Tough subject, but you are handling it great. Your writing is very real.

Hey Milady, Thanks for the touching note. Sad chapter, but written so well. I will certainly stick with your story to the end.
Hello ML, I congratulate you for the courage in telling this story. OK so this is fan fiction but it has the power to touch and shape lives so if your drama gets one woman to carry out a self check or visit a clinic then it is a job well done. This is a disease that effects so many woman but with awarness and early detection can be treated. Thank you for keeping it real and I hope showing that it is not a death sentence (unlike Dana’s). This chapter showed the numbness that Bette and Tina are experiencing right now. Their sense of disbelief is overwhelming while fearing the realitiy of Tina’s illness. Please contiune this important message. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I finally caught up with this story and it is so touching and so well written. You are an amazing writer. Please continue writing because I will continue reading.
This is so sad and please let Tina go through this and be ok. Please post more, thanks!
