Bette mumbled to herself,

“Jesus fucking Christ, I can’t believe I went to see Tina in this condition. She would’ve been worried if she was awake!”

Bette decided to look much better when she goes to the hospital to see Tina.  She jumped into the shower and got herself together, then Bette slipped on a better pair of jeans and a nice white buttoned down shirt that belonged to Tina. Bette also slipped on a pair of black boots and a leather jacket.  Bette already had her makeup on and was ready to go and she went into the living room and surprisingly found Kit wide awake playing with Angelica.  Kit looked up and smiled,

“Oooh girl, you look beautiful!”

Bette smiled back at her sister and replied,

“Thanks Kit, I want to make a better impression and better wife to Tina.”

Kit said,

“Good for you!”

Bette folded her arms and replied,

“I’m surprised that you are awake this early, I would think you would still be asleep, I mean don’t you have a hangover?”

Kit snickered,

“Girl, I haven’t had a hangover since 1982 and I am feeling great too, but no more drinking for me! I let that slip last night!”

Bette said as she got down on her knees to kiss Angelica,

“I am proud of you and thank you for taking care of my precious angel.”

Angelica cooed at her mother and Bette and Kit laughed.

Kit said,

“Anytime, sis, anytime! And I am proud of you for getting yourself together to visit Tina.”

Bette replied,

“Well, I needed to do that or go downhill and I’m sure Tina would hate that if that happened.”

Kit nodded and said,

“Well, it’s time for you to go and visit Tina, and I’ll come by later and bring you some food and a pair of clothing if you are going to spend the night.”

Bette hugged and kissed her older sister on the cheek and said,

“You are a lifesaver sis and I love you!”

Kit replied,

“I love you too.”

       Bette stopped by the flower shop and ordered a bouquet of white roses for Tina and then she headed off to the hospital.  Bette was anxious about what would happen when she got to the hospital, would Tina be awake or still in a coma, who the fuck knows? Bette knew for sure that she needed to be more together now then a nutcase waiting for the paddy wagon to come and take her away.  Bette was heading walking down the hallway when she bumped into Alice and Shane. 

Shane said,

“Damn, you look good!”

Alice responded,

“And we feel like shit!”

Bette teased,

“And you don’t think I feel any worse?”

Alice answered in her usual sarcastic tone,

“Do you? Wait a minute, you don’t!”

Bette laughed,

“What are you guys doing out here anyway?”

Shane replied,

“We have some good news for us, come this way.”

Bette followed Alice and Shane to Tina’s room and feeling nervous and excited about the good news.  They stopped at Tina’s room and Alice said,

“We’ll wait out here while you find out the good news.”

Bette went inside of the room and found Tina to be awake and waiting for her.

Tina said softly,

“Hi baby.”
