“Hey…is everything ok with you? What the Doc said?”

“You have to be very careful. No stress, no alcohol or physical overtaxing and you have to tell your husband to be patient with you…” Bette said looking at the ground. Tina swallowed and scratched her neck…

“My husband…?”

“Yeah…your husband…”

“Why you didn’t tell her?” Tina said confused.

“Tell her what exactly?”

“That we are…that you and me…we are…” Tina said blabbering…”Yeah…I got your point.” Tina said placing hands on her hips…”do you have some time before heading to the CAC…?”

“I can find some…” Bette said taking her bag…” Let’s go, we could stop by the Planet, before drop you home…”

Bette starts walking down the hallway followed by Tina. Tina reached her hand and took Bette’s in hers. Bette looked at their hands and smiled caressing Tina’s palm with her thumb.

………………..

 Kit was at the Planet waiting for them. Bette had called earlier and notified Kit for their arrival. Kit was pacing nervously up and down. It was her first day alone as a manager, after Marina left for her vacation. The Planet was pretty crowed at the moment and the personnel was not enough. She noticed Bette’s blue SAAB across the street and exhaled.

Bette and Tina walked in, still hand in hand and headed right to Kit. Kit smiled and hugged both of them.

“Hello baby girl…how’s the mummy today?” Kit asked

“Hungry…!” Tina said and chuckled.

“Well you know where the table is, just sit and relax. I’ll send someone to take your order.”

“Wow, real business woman aren’t we…” Tina said jokingly…”Are you coming Bette?” she said glancing at her.

“Sure…just a minute…” Bette said smiling. Tina nods and walked away.

“Is everything ok sis?” Kit immediately noticed Bette’s confusion and discomfort…

“Today…the doctor told me to convey at her husband to be patient with her…” Bette said lowering her eyes…Kit exhaled and caressed Bette’s back.

“What did you said?” Kit asked hoping that Bette hadn’t made a scene.

“That I will…” Bette answered, she throw fast look at Tina.

“What else do you expect, hum?” Kit said…”That’s the logical conclusion everyone will make about Tina’s condition….”

“I know…and that’s killing me…” Bette whispered and walked away. Kit shook her head and sighs deeply. She felt bad for Bette, but had nothing to help with.
