Bette: Just know I will help and support you as much as I can…

Tina was close to tears.

Tina: Thank you…

It was barely a whisper. Suddenly Fabian walked in. He was just wearing a jeans and socks.

Fabian: Mom, where is my AC/DC T-shirt?

Bette felt that Tina wanted to pull her hand away but Bette kept it in hers.

Bette: That’s just in your closet, next to your sweaters.

Fabian: Okay then… Can I go to Douglas later?

Bette: Yes, just be back before lunch.

Fabian: Sure thing Mom.

Fabian walked back out. Tina and Bette ate in a comfortable silence.

Tina: Maybe I should get a medical checkup today. They need to confirm that something happened right?

Bette: Yes. Do you want me to go with you or make the appointment?

Tina: I will make the appointment myself but I would like you to come with me…

Bette: I will come with you…

Tina: Should I take Patricia with me? See if the doctor can find anything?

Bette: Yes, that’s probably a good idea. She is still young so she won’t feel that bad about it I guess.

Tina: Yeah.

They finished eating and cleared the table.

Tina: I’m going to call the gynecologist…

Bette: Okay, I’m going to take a shower and get dressed.

Bette kissed Tina on the cheek and walked to the bathroom. Bette took a shower and dressed in a jean and a white t-shirt while Tina called the doctor.

Bette walked back out and Tina was sitting on the couch, hugging her daughter while watching T.V. with her. Bette sat next to the duo.

Bette: Hello.

Tina: Hi. The appointment is at 1PM.

Bette: Okay, good. Do you have pain?

Tina: I have…

They watched T.V. and Tina was zapping channels and she bumped on a Spanish series. She thought back about Adella… She had loved the Spanish woman and when she died, Bette was crushed. After a year she could function again. She also had to care for Fabian and he had a lot of grief. It was a hard time but they had come over it. They talked about her a lot and on Adella’s birthday and her day of death, they told stories and visit her on the graveyard. Fabian needed that, Bette would rather not do it but she wanted to be there for her son.
