«From this moment on, we’ll work together to get you healthy again», Bette swore as she cupped Tina’s beautiful face in her hands. «I’ll take a leave of absence from my job and I’ll be with you every step of the way, night and day. I have enough strength for both of us baby, so you lean on me whenever you need to, OK?»
Tina nodded and gazed into Bette’s eyes. «Thank you for being there… I don’t think I could do this without you». She pulled closer and gave Bette a gentle kiss. At that moment, Dr Morris walked back into her office.
«Are you ready to talk?», she asked as she opened Tina’s file. Bette and Tina nodded.
«OK, the good news is that the cancer hasn’t spread anywhere else, Tina and since it has been caught early, your prognosis is very good». Hearing that, Bette gave Tina a reassuring smile.
«What now?», Tina asked Dr Morris.
«Well, you will have surgery to remove the lump and then, depending on the findings and follow-up tests, you may need further treatment like radiation or chemotherapy»
«Are we talking about a mastectomy?», Tina asked almost in a whisper.
«That’s a discussion you’ll need to have with your surgeon. I’ll send your file to Dr John Prescott. He’s one of the best in L.A. and a friend of mine, so you’ll be in good hands. Here’s his office number. You call him first thing tomorrow morning and make an appointment»
Dr Morris gave them documentation to read and wished them both good luck. «Thank you for everything», Bette told her friend as she hugged her.
Tina didn’t say a word all the way home. She kept looking out the window and more disturbing to Bette was her vacant stare. She knew better than trying to start a conversation. She pulled into their driveway and opened the car door. Tina still hadn’t moved. «Aren’t you coming in?», she asked softly.
Tina turned to her and Bette could see deep sadness in her hazel eyes. «In a minute…»
Bette got out of the car and sat on the porch to wait for her baby. She saw her wife pulled her cell phone from her purse and dialling someone’s number. Probably her mother, Bette thought. A few minutes later, Tina hung up and got out of the car. She looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulder. She sat next to Bette and cuddled against her. Bette put a protective arm around her body.
«Who were you talking to sweetie?»
«My mother… She wanted to take the first flight out to L.A., but I told her you were taking really good care of me»
Bette stroked her golden hair. «I am and I will, but I feel so fucking helpless right now…». Bette took a deep breath. «Is there anything I can do for you baby, anything at all ?»
«Just love me…», was all Tina said as she snuggled even closer to her wife.

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!
