Bette looked up to the ceiling in an attempt to stop her tears from falling, taking a deep breath before she answered the younger brunette.

"The nurse said something about meconium. They said the baby was in distress"

"What?!" Kit and Shane said in unison.

Bette crossed her arms and shook her head with worry, "I don’t know . . they just took her. They’re not even letting me in. I-"

Kit immediately pulled her hysterical baby sister into her arms, trying her best to soothe the brunette. "Its going to be okay. Don’t worry, Tina’s a strong girl. They both are"

She guided Bette toward a set of seats as Shane placed a hand on both their shoulders, "I’m gonna see if I can talk to someone about what’s going on"

Shane headed over to the nurse’s station just as one of the earlier female nurses burst out from behind the double doors. Her white mask hung loosely around her neck and her dark hair was in disarray, the loose strands flowing in the air as made a beeline for Bette and Kit.

"Hi, are you Bette?"

"Yes" Bette replied rather nervously as she got to her feet with Kit right beside her.

The nurse smiled a bit in relief of having found the right person on the first try, "She’s asking for you. Come with me and we’ll get you some scrubs"

Bette looked to Kit whom smiled at her and lovingly rubbed her back, "Go, we’ll be out here. Say hi to Tina for me"

Without another word, Bette nodded to the nurse who led her back toward the double doors. The brunette hurried through with an urgency to be near Tina, wanting nothing more than to be beside the woman who had become such a big part of her life. She followed the nurse toward a storage closet and was handed a pair of green scrubs, rushing into the bathroom to change as her mind reeled through the day’s events.

Bette knew that both she and Tina still had some things to talk about but she pushed that to the back of her mind for the time being. At the moment, all Bette cared about was seeing that Tina and the baby were okay. She would worry about everything else later.

After quickly stuffing her clothes into a plastic bag, Bette exited the room and resumed following the nurse toward the delivery rooms.
