The following Thursday, Tina walked out of the Center at 11 am to drive to her doctor’s office and was completely surprised to find Shane slouching against her car.
“Hey!” Tina smiled, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to pick you up,” Shane said.
“Pick me up?” Tina frowned. “Oh, Shane. Did we have plans? I’m so sorry. I’m on my way to a doctor’s appointment.”
“I know. I thought you might want some company this time,” Shane said quietly.
Tina stood speechless, her eyes bright with affection and unshed tears. Finally, she stepped forward to pull Shane into an embrace, resting her head on Shane’s shoulder and holding on tightly.
“Thank you,” Tina whispered, not letting go.
They stood there for a few moments, Shane’s arms wrapped loosely around Tina’s waist, circling her protectively.
“We should go,” Shane said at last, brushing her cheek lightly against Tina’s as she leaned back. “You don’t want to be late.”
They drove without talking to Dr. Wilson’s office, the whir of the air conditioner the only noise in Shane’s truck. Tina checked in at the desk while Shane sat in one of the stiff plastic chairs, conspicuous among the women all around her in various stages of pregnancy.
After registering, Tina sat next to Shane, smiling nervously, and Shane could feel her friend’s anxiety radiating off of her in waves. They made small talk about the clients at Lather and the kids at the Center. Tina seemed to be almost relaxing a bit when the receptionist came out and called her name.
“Do you want me to wait here or come back with you?” Shane asked, her hand on Tina’s forearm.
“I think I’ll be okay,” Tina said, nodding as if to convince herself.
“If you change your mind, let me know. I’m not going anywhere.”
Tina disappeared with the receptionist into the hallway of examination rooms, and Shane settled back into the uncomfortable seat, stretching her long legs out in front of her. Fifteen minutes later, the receptionist reappeared and motioned for Shane to join her.
“Is Tina okay? Is the baby okay?” Shane asked, catapulting to her feet.

wow shane has a good heart..but hurting herself in a way
Nice to know that Tina doesn’t have to deal with all of the by herself. Shane really is quite the caregiver. Now, will Bette be okay with Shane fulfilling her role when she finds out? Nice chapter.

Aw, Shane. Such a good friend.
Shane so wants what Bette and Tina had, but who doesn’t right? Some of us are lucky enough to know their kind of love. I have it daily and I know you do too. We should count our lucky stars.
