Dana: Ill help you

Emily: coming in the living room Hey Alice!

Alice: hey kiddo

Emily: Giving Bette a kiss hey mom, can I hold Ben?

Katie and Tara walked in with Kit and Shane, and soon everyone was at the house. Alice, Dana, Kit, Shane, Carmen Tim, Jenny, and Marina.  They all sat in the living room waiting for Bette and Tina to tell them why they were there.

Alice: Ok we are all here!

Shane: yea whats going on you guys?

Bette: well we have something we need to tell you all and we wanted to tell you guys together all at once

Jenny: we are all ears

Tina: umm..Ok so last week we found a lump in Bettes breast and we went to the doctor and she has breast cancer

Tim: oh my god

Kit: Oh baby sis

Everyone was in shock they didnt know what to say, Dana, Alice, and Kit had tears falling from their eyes. Everyone else was in shock.

Bette: But we found it really early and so the doctor thinks I will be fine. I have to have radiation everyday for 5 weeks to make it smaller and then they are going to remove it.  But it didnt spread or any thing so she thinks I will make a full recovery. Bette looked at Alice who was almost sobbing by now. She got up and pulled Alice into a hug

Bette: Al Im going to be ok

Alice: Damit Porter you better be!

Tim: Bette, Tina whatever you need we are all here what ever when ever

Tina: thanks Tim

Bette: pulling away from Alice well I did want to ask you guys about helping with taking me to the treatments, because I cant drive my self, they are everyday at 5:00 and I might need a ride every once in a while.

Shane: Of course.  Well be there!

Bette: thanks you guys
