Alice beamed,

“Yeah and now you can go home and do the things you do!”

Tina rolled her eyes and laughed,

“You are going to ok, Al! And you are something else!”

Alice cracked,

“Tell me something I don’t know!”

Bette wheeled Tina onto the elevator, with Alice and Shane following them and Bette said,

“Ok you guys, we are out of here!”

          About an hour later, Bette and Tina got home with Shane and Alice joining them.  Bette got Tina out of the car and carried Tina inside the house while Alice carried crutches and Shane holding Angelica.  Bette laid Tina softly on the couch, fluffing the pillows and keeping her broken leg elevated. Alice shut the door behind her and asked,

“Where should the crutches go?”

Tina answered,

“Next to the couch, thanks.”

Bette shook her head and answered,

“I don’t want you to use crutches, babe. You could hurt yourself worse if you use them.”

Tina replied,

“So could you if you continue to carry me around.”

Bette replied back,

“I don’t care about me, I care about you, my baby.”

Tina started to say,

“But honey”

Alice interrupted impatiently,

“You know what, I’ll just stick these up your…”

Shane interrupted her,

“Alice!”

Alice looked at Shane innocently and said,

“What, can’t these two women make up their minds?!”

Shane answered,

“Tina just got out of the hospital, be nice!”

Bette took the crutches from Alice and said,

“I’ll put them in our bedroom.”

Bette went into the bedroom and Alice sat on the floor next to Tina and buried her face in her hands and cried,

“I am so sorry, so sorry.”

Tina put her hand on Alice‘s shoulder and said,

“That’s ok, Al, everything is ok now.”

Alice removed her hands from her face and sighed,

“I am so happy that you are doing well now after what you went through, but I’m fucking drowning here without Dana! Pardon my French, I didn’t mean to curse in front of Angelica.”

Tina asked Shane,

“Do you playing with Angelica in her room?”

Shane answered,

“Sure, no problem.”  With that, she Shane went into Angelica’s room and Bette came out from her and Tina’s room and asked,

“Is everything ok?”

Tina replied,
