“Shane, what is going on, you’re scaring me.” Alice presses on, she gets a nagging feeling.

“Bette and Angie need us… Alice… Bette’s sick. Please come over as soon as you can.” Shane replies

Alice hears the urgency in Shane’s voice and replies that she will come right over. They hang up.

“Shane, could you go up and check on Angie for me?” Bette asks silently.

“Sure. I’ll be right back. You just relax.” Shane says and hurries upstairs to check on Angie. She knocks on the door and waits for Angie to call come in before she enters. She carefully opens the door.

“Hey kiddo, you okay?” Shane asks as she enters the room. She takes a seat on a chair next to the bed.

“I’m okay, sad but okay.” Angie replies, looking up at Shane. “How’s mom?” Angie asks.

“She’s relaxing. Alice is coming over soon.” Shane says. “You will let me know if you’re not okay, right? And we have to figure out where you’re staying while mama b is in the hospital.” Shane says.

“Why can’t I stay here?” Angie asks, sitting up.

“Mama B don’t want you to be alone. I suggested that you could stay with me. Is that something that you would consider?” Shane asks.

“I am old enough to be alone you know.” Angie argues.

“I am sure you are, but this is a difficult situation Angie. You will need someone and Mama B will be unavailable for a little while.” Shane says, trying to get Angie to understand.

“Okay, I guess.” Angie says as she looks down, fiddling with her hands. Jordi sits next to her and listens.

“Think about okay?” Shane adds and stands up. “And if you want to talk, let me know. I’m here for you, okay?” Shane says as she moves towards the door.

“I will. Thanks uncle Shane.” Angie replies and give her a small smile before Shane leaves the room and closing the door again.

As Shane walks down the stairs, she hears the knock on the door. She hurries down and opens it up to find Alice standing there nervously.

“Hey, come in.” Shane says and opens the door wide so she could get inside.

“Shane, what’s going on?” Alice asks as she follows Shane into the livingroom where Bette is still sitting with eyes closed.
