Tina nodded yes

“Ok you meet us back at the hospital” Ashley said to Jacqui

Jess was trying to explain to Alice and Dana what was going on.

“Mum I don’t know, I’m only telling you what Ben has told me” Jess said

“Where is she?” Dana asked

“They’re transferring her to LA General” Jess explained

“Why didn’t she go there in the first place?” Alice asked

“Mama I don’t know, I only know what I’ve told you” Jess told them

Ashley and Tina sat in the back of the ambulance. Ashley was scanning through Bette’s notes. Tina watched Bette closely she had no idea what to say, what to do or how to feel, she just sat looking at her wife attached to an oxygen tank and an iv.

“She looks like she’s sleeping” Tina said

“She is, she’s in a medical coma at the minute” Ashley said “She’s not in pain or anything she’s just sleeping for now”

“Why didn’t she tell me?” Tina asked

“I can’t answer that Tina, All I know is people handle this in all different kind of ways, she’ll be protecting you if I know Bette”

“By lying to me? I thought she was having an affair, infact I was convinced she was having an affair” Tina said wiping away her tears

“Taylor will have a look at her when we get their”

“Taylor? Why not you?” Tina asked

“This is what Taylor Specialises in she will be able to help a lot better than I can, I’ll be their to assist and make sure she’s getting the best possible care though, you know I will”

“Ok” Tina accepted “Someone needs to contact Kit”

“Well sort all that when we get to the hospital, all you need to worry about is being here” Ashley smiled

Taylor was waiting outside for the ambulance to arrive. Taylor opened the back door as the team got ready to wheel Bette into the hospital. Ashley handed the file to Taylor and briefed her.

Alice, Dana and Jess jumped up. Alice pulled Tina into a hug as Tina broke down.

Amy and Nathan walked in followed by Jacqui. Amy noticed her Mum was upset and pulled her out of Alice’s arms into her own.

“Mum you need to be strong here, yeah” Amy said rubbing her back “We all do, this is probably why she didn’t tell us”

“I thought she was having an affair” Tina said looking at Amy

“Yes so did I, But now we know the truth and we can deal with it” Amy said

“I don’t know if I can deal with it, I’d rather she was having the affair than her being in pain and hurt” Tina admitted “An affair I could deal with, losing her I can’t deal with”

“Mum will you shut up! Were not losing her!” Amy snapped “I don’t want to hear you say that!”

“Amy she has a brain tumour!” Tina snapped back

“I’m perfectly aware of that! She also has an amazing set of doctors here ready to help so just get a grip Mum and don’t think the worst!” Amy said sitting down

There was a tense silence.

“Tina we need to operate is that okay?” Taylor asked

“Do what you need to in order to help her” Tina responded

“Ok I need you to sign this”

Tina’s hand wouldn’t stop shaking. Amy took the pen from her and signed the form.

“It needs to be Tina’s signature” Taylor sighed

“It is” Amy smirked

“Ok then” Taylor said leaving

Tina looked at her daughter. “How else do you think I got away with half the stuff at school?” Amy said

“Very good Amy, positive role modal for Nathan” Dana mumbled
