She made a promise to herself and Bette that she would now be there for her whenever she was needed and so far had lived up to that promise. Allyn understood her desire to do that for Bette and supported her wife however she needed it as well.

There were times when Allyn watched Bette in action at the gallery and stood there in awe of her and her many amazing talents in the art world. She also felt grateful for the day Bette walked into her gallery inquiring about the receptionist position. Since hiring her brilliant ‘daughter’, the gallery had the public coming in, in droves inquiring about a variety of art pieces. The shows were more popular than ever.

She never imagined that her gallery could be so popular and that she could make so much money in her life. Now she was ready to support Bette, Tina and their family in whatever way she could. Bette had already experienced so much and she would need everyone’s love to pull through this and be okay.

The grandmothers had talked and tried to brainstorm possible scenarios where they would be most useful to the young couple, Ozzie and Angelica. They would also need to be there to support Ozzie and his new medical situation. They brought Kit in on everything they discussed, as she was the closest to Bette. What they needed to find out was if Bette was going to have Ozzie treated in California or New York. Both had excellent facilities for treating children’s cancer.

As it was, Tina, the newborn and Kit arrived to the suite before Ozzie did. Maxine got up and let Tina take her place on the couch and had Bette hold their baby girl, as she and Kit went down to the cafeteria to get some coffee. Tina felt that holding the newborn might help ground her wife. She placed her arm around her Bette and held her close to her as Bette held Angelica.

“Babe, tell me about our son…” Tina began. She wanted to know all about her new son and this moment was providing a perfect opportunity for that to happen while Ozzie was undergoing tests, and she felt that having Bette tell her stories would hopefully keep her wife grounded and in a calm emotional state for their son.
