“why does she have to be so pushy”

Tina starting laughing at this “well she is your sister”

Bette smiled at this remark “I don’t know what you mean”

“oh really, why don’t I believe you”

Tina felt good being able to banter with Bette again she had really missed it, she felt her heart start to pound faster.  She looked at her food and started moving it around her plate, she couldn’t look at Bette just yet in case she gave herself away.

Bette watched Tina push her food round the plate.  It broke her heart that Tina looked so sad that she couldn’t even look at Bette in the eye.  Bette assumed that it was because she was still blaming herself for Angie’s accident.  She decided watching Tina that she was going to try and get to the bottom of what happened not just for Tina but for herself also.  She picked up her bag took out her phone and started dialling the number of the child minder.

“Hello”

“Jane it’s Bette Porter”

“Bette are you back already”

“Yeah listen Jane I’m at the hospital with Tina”

“Oh is everything alright”

“Not really, did Angie hurt her head while you were looking after her”

“Angie’s in the hospital oh god Bette how is she”

“Not to good, they’ve done a scan and found pressure on her brain, but she’s breathing on her own which we’ve been told is a good thing, but we need to know if she hit her head with you”

“I’m sorry Bette, but I think she did, she was stood holding onto the sofa shifting along, next thing I knew she was on the floor face first, I picked her up and checked her over but found nothing, she didn’t ever cry”

“Jane don’t worry about it, but thanks for letting me know”

“Bette tell Tina I’m sorry I should have mentioned it, please keep me informed”

“of course I’ll let you know when we have any news, bye”

Bette hung up the phone putting her hand over Tina’s she told her what Jane had told her.  Tina let out a sigh of relief, although she knew it wasn’t her fault it didn’t change the fact that their daughter was in hospital.  Tina pushed her plate away, she got up looked at Bette and told her that she was going back up to Angie.
