When Alex pulls up to the emergency entrance Bette doesnt wait for the car to come to a complete halt, she jumps out and runs into the emergency room. She spots Alice sitting in the waiting area.

Bette: Alice where is she?

Alice: Theyve taken her to the back Bette. They have not come out to say anything. Im scared.

Bette: Me to Alice. Let me go see whats going on. Bette walks up to the nurses station. The nurse without looking up knew someone was standing there.

Nurse: Yes may I help you?

Bette: Yes I would like information on a patient that was just brought in.

Nurse: Name of the patient?

Bette: Tina Kennard

Nurse: Relationship?

How did Bette answer this???

Bette: My wife At that time the nurse looked up and was shocked

Nurse: Im sorry I cant give out any information, its apparent that she is not your wife legally.

Bette is already pissed off and now this woman is trying to be politically correct. Bette was ready to reach over the counter when Alex stepped up and grabbed her.

Alex: Bette cool it, do you want them to throw you out before you found out anything?

Bette: No, your right. I just very worried. Alice what happened?

Alice: I really dont know. I was getting ready to knock on Tinas door and Helena opened it up and walked right by me with out saying a word. When I went in I notice Tina crying, Bette she had welt marks around her wrist. She didnt answer me when I asked her what happen she just wanted me to bring her here.

Bette: What did that ***** ***** do to her? Alex you know her, what could have happened?

Alex: Bette, I dont even want to try and guess. But according to some of those women she could get a little to rough and not stop.
Bette: I swear if anything happens to Tina or our baby, Helena is a dead woman.

The rest of the gang showed up and as Alice was telling them what she knew the doctor came out.

Dr. Grady: Is there a Bette Porter here. Bette jumped up, as did the rest of them.

Bette: Yes, Im Bette Porter. Is Tina ok and the baby?

Dr. Grady: Hold on a minute. Yes Ms Kennard is fine. Bette takes this in and then interrupts.

Bette: The baby?

Dr. Grady: Ms. Porter you might want to sit down. Dr Grady escorts Bette to a chair, the girls follow not saying a word. Bette starts crying, she already knows what she is going to tell her. Alice, Dana, Jenny, and Carmen are also crying. Shane is trying to stay strong and Kit is holding on to Bette.

Dr. Grady: Ms Porter please sit down.

Bette: Please couldnt you have save her? The doctor had a puzzle look on her face.

Dr Grady: Ms Porter, Bette Oh Im so sorry, you misunderstood, I wanted you to sit down because

Kit: For the love of God spit it out Dr Grady.

Dr Grady: Ms Kennard and Ms Porter are going to have twins. Bette almost fell off the chair. The girls were jumping up and down, they were so happy it wasnt nothing bad.

Bette: Doctor, are you sure. When Tina had the ultrasound a month ago they said only one a baby girl. How could they not see the other one.

Dr Grady: Well it looks like he is a little shy; he was hiding behind his sister. He is a little bit smaller then she is, but healthy. Both have a good strong heartbeat. Would you like to come see your wife?

Bette: Oh yes I would. She turns to the nurse and sticks her tongue out at her. She opens the door to Tinas and quietly walks over to the bed. Tina has her eyes close. Bette just smiles and send a silent prayer to the heaves above.

Tina: Hey baby. Bette is shocked that Tina called her baby. Bette sits on the bed next to Tina.

Bette: Hey yourself. You gave us all a big scare. Dont do it again. She smiles at Tina.
Tina: I promise, I will try not to do that again. Bette I dont know what Alice told you, but I have to tell what happen and you got to promise me you will not do anything.

Bette: Tina, I dont want you to get upset by telling me right now, lets just wait ok. Lets talk about the new addition to our family beside our little girl.

Tina: Huh, what are you talking about another addition beside our daughter?

Bette: Umm, didnt Dr. Grady talk to you?

Tina: Yes, she said everything was fine with me and the baby.

Bette: Make that you and the babiessssssssss are fine. She cant hold back the giggles.

Tina: Sitting up further in the bed What do you mean babiessss? I am only care one.

Bette: Oh baby, no your not. We not only have a daughter but her brother was hiding behind her during the ultrasound that is way they didnt detect him. Bette was rubbing her hand around Tinas stomach.

Tina: Two, two of them in there. Know wonder I have gotten so big so fast. Here I thought I was getting fat.

Bette: Oh baby I love everything about you and your not getting fat, your carrying our children. Just then, the rest of the gang showed up in the room. They all were congratulating Tina; they didnt notice Bette and Alex had stepped out.

Bette pulled out her cell phone and was getting ready to make a call.

Alex: What are you doing?

Bette: Im calling Helena.

Alex: Bette do you think that is a good ideal? Your already madder then ***** and I dont even know you that well and Im shaking afraid of what you might do.

Bette: Oh I wont do anything tonight, but I will confront that ***** and when I do she will not like the fact that she fucked with what is mine! She dialed Helena number.

Bette: Yes, Helena Peabody please, this is Bette Porter.

Helena: Hello Bette, Im sorry I dont have time to talk Im leaving in 15 minutes to catch a plane to Philadelphia.

Bette: Oh this wont take long, when you get back we need to setup and meeting. There is some unfinished business between us.
Helena: I dont think there is anything to discuss between us Bette. You need to bow out gracefully and take your losses, because Tina is mine and I will not let her go.

Bette: Oh I dont think so, you hurt someone I love this evening, and I plan to return the favor *****. So go get out of town, before I come over there and do something I may regret for the rest of my life.

Helena: Bette, such lady like talk. Ooh I frighten. You dont want to mess with me. You are a little pee yawn and I will squash you like a bug. Remember who you work for, I run the art center.

Bette: What?

Helena: Oh you didnt know did you. Yes, my darling you work for me. I bought the CAC a few weeks ago. SO if you value your job, youll back off now and remember your place. She hung the phone up on Bette. Bette stared at the phone, she couldnt believe what she heard. She shook her head and walked back to Tinas room with Alex.

Bette: Tina I would like to introduce to you Ms. Alexandria Croft. She is the CEO of the Croft foundation. We were at dinner discussing my grant proposal when I got the call from Alice. Her family foundation is going to sponsor some of the art projects.

Tina: Hi, this is not the prefect place to meet, but Im glad we met.

Alex: Nice to meet you too and congratulation on the twins.

Tina: Thank you.

Nurse: Alright ladies it is getting late and we have to move Ms Kinnard to her room. Yall can come back tomorrow. She should be released by tomorrow afternoon. She shoed everyone out.

Bette lean down and kissed Tina. I love you baby and I love our children. I will see you tomorrow and will talk then. Sleep tight. Goodnight baby.

Tina: Goodnight Baby
