One of the ambulance members came over.

“Sorry ma’am, but I have to check her bloodpressure and see if there are wounds to be taken care of.”

“Sure, go ahead. Babe, they’re going to check if you’re alright. I’m right here, I’m not leaving your side. But these people need to do their job.”

Bette let go of Tina and the male nurse took over. The ambulance started to drive and they drove to the hospital.

At the ER:

Tina was wheeled into the hospital. Her bloodpressure was a high but that was apparently due to the accident. They would run some tests and make some X-rays to see if she didn’t break anything.
Bette couldn’t go with her but she promised Tina that she would be there when she was done with the tests.

In the mean time Kit, Shane and Helena arrived at the hospital. Kit hugged Bette who finally let go of her tears.

“Shhh, baby sis, it’s alright. They will take care of her. It’s alright.”

“Kit, she could’ve been dead, gone………”

“Yes, that’s right, could have been but she’s not. Now we have to be strong so she can heal and recover in no time.”

Shane and Helena watched the two sister interact with tears in their eyes. They never saw Bette cry publicly and it really touched their hearts.
When Bette calmed down, she turned towards her friends and thanked them for being there for her and Tina.

“Where are Alice and Dana?”

“Alice is out of town, so I thought it would be better to tell her when she’s back. Dana has a qualification tournament for the upcoming season, so she also will be informed when she’s back.”Shane said.

Bette looked at her friend………”You more than deserve the name Yoda.”
She walked up to Shane and hugged her and started to cry again. Shane felt very akward, she never saw her friend like this. Helena came by and hugged them both.

“Hey Bette, we’re family, that’s what family do. We’re here in good and bad times, sickness and health. It’s okay darling, let it all out. Later on you, we, have to be strong for Tina.”

“Thank you Helena, thank you guys for being here for us. Much appreciated!”

In the mean time Kit went to get some coffee which they all could use. When she came back, a doctor came into the waiting room.
