Kit took Bette’s hand “You be strong in there and kick it’s
silly ass”

Bette smiled

Kit leaned down hugging Bette “Love you baby sis”

“I love you too, make sure my wife is ok till I come back
out!” Bette whispered

Ashley and Taylor wheeled Bette in to the OR.

Tina backed against the wall and took a deep breath letting
the tears fall.

“Hey hey none of that, she’ll be out before you know it” Kit
said pulling Tina into her arms and rubbing her back.

“Bette well be right back we just need to scrub in ok”
Taylor smiled

“I don’t know any of these people” Bette said looking around

“Yeah you do, you know me” Jessie said

“Oh yes so I do, I just couldn’t tell behind that
contraption you have on your face” Bette smiled

“How you feeling?” Jessie asked distracting Bette

“Terrified!”

“Don’t be, you have the best in here right now”

“My daughter in law isn’t here” Bette smirked

“She’s looking after your daughter she’s working her magic
elsewhere” Jessie winked

“Ok I’ll give you that one” Bette sighed

Ashley and Taylor returned

“You ready?” Taylor asked

“Ashley if anything happens you need to tell Amy to remember
what we spoke about and tell my wife I love her!”

“Bette shut up” Ashley stated “You can tell them yourself
when you wake up”

“You’re going to be here the full time” Bette instructed
more than asked

Ashley laughed “Yes I am I promise…” Ashley took the mask
and placed it on Bette’s face “Count down from 20 for me”

Jacqui and Amy sat on a bench outside the hospital. Amy
rested her head on Jacqui’s shoulder as Jacqui wrapped her arms around her
wife.

3 hours later…

Dana and Alice arrived at the hospital they joined everyone
in the relatives room.

Amy was sitting on the sofa cuddled into Jacqui, Nathan was
cuddled into Amy and Jess was sitting on a chair attempting to read a magazine.
Tina paced up and down the room with Kit standing against the wall.

“Mum will you sit down your making me dizzy” Amy said

Tina sighed and sit town. “Nope I can I’m sorry” Tina said
getting back up.

Alice and Dana walked into the room

“Any news?” Dana asked

“No not yet” Amy sighed
