The sun was setting as Dana was helping Tina to fold some sheets. Shane, in the living room, was feeding the babies with Gretas help.

Shes a bit cranky, is she ok? sweetly asked Dana nodding towards their bedroom.

“Yeah, I think she is already tired of the cast, you know Bette cant stand being needy Answered Tina, smiling at her friend.

“Yeah (chuckled Dana), Id be the sameremember when I broke my arm tow years ago… It was awful! Dana added rolling her eyes.

“Yeah, wellthank god the babies always calm her said Tina turning to look at Shane and the babies.

They are so cute drooled Dana looking at the babies.

Taking the folded sheet from Danas hands, Tina placed it on the table. Dana checking the time said,

“Wow, I have to go

Looking at Dana a smiling Tina said,

“Thanks Dane, so tomorrow, ok?

Nodding while grabbing her bag, Dane answered,

“Sure… brunch, see you tomorrow Tee…bye guys she whispering added.

Dana walked out in a rush, so quickly that neither Shane or Greta noticed her.
Smiling, Tina walked towards them.

“So, how are the mumpets behaving? she asked sitting down, noticing how lost Shane was in feeding Jules.

“They are great Tina Greta whispered, cradling Jamie in her arms.

“Yeah, angels! whispered Tina rolling in her eyes.

“What? Dont you think they are?” whispered a concerned Greta.

Noticing the frowning face, Tina smiling caressed Gretas arm before adding,

They are, is just that not alwaysyou should see them at 5am they cant stop giggling, drooling and doing anything to get attention

“Ohhh, so cute interrupted Garbo leaning on Jamie, caressing her velvety face.

Smiling, knowing that it was a lost cause to try to convince anyone that two babies were not as joyfull as they seemed, Tina nodded, noticing then how Juless bottle was finally empty.

“Wow Shane! you are so good with him she whispered, bringing Shane back to reality.

“What? she asked, cleaning the babys chin.

Nothing Tina said, shaking her head.

“Noticing Tinas tired face, Shane placed the baby on Tinas arms.

“Could you? I need to go to the bathroom she said, knowing the effect the babies always had on their moms.

Thanks Tina mumbled, taking the baby, feeling, as always, her lungs filled with air while her heart was jumping with joy.

Watching his son, Tina thought about the wonders of nature, how on earth was it possible to see a resemblance between him and Bette. It was impossible she knew, but she could swear it was there.

Watching Tina smiling, Shane walked back in, sitting on the floor, in front of them.

“So, is she sleeping? she asked nodding to their bedroom.

“Yeah nodded Tina, unable to move her eyes from Jules.

“So, have you think about that?” Shane asked, leaning forward, caressing Jamies tiny feet.

About what? Asked Tina, looking up from the baby.

The car? whispered Shane.

Oh that smiled Tina, her face brightening.

Hmm nodded Shane, laying on the floor.

And? asked Greta, curious.

Am not sure you know how she is abot cars am sure shed love the Audi TT Ive checking out its beautiful I know…. the gray one or even the blue one with manually retracted top but (Tina cant stop the smile growing on her face) I found a second hand amazingly beautiful 1959 MGA roadster with biscuit leather and canvas top that would make her knees weak its so beautiful!…such a cool, elegant very romantic car sighed Tina, not noticing the amused smiles on her friends faces.

“I think is obvious whispered Garbo, the accent harder, more present, making Shanes body to shiver, even breaking Tinas wanderings.

What? asked Shane, sitting.

“You should go with the MGyou should see your face when you talk about it Greta added, winking at Tina.

Noticing Tinas doubts, Shane said,

Id go with you to take a look if you want

Would you? hopefully asked Tina.

Sure nonchalantly agreeded Shane.

Nodding, a smiling Tina caressed Jules tiny hand.

Just then Bette opened her eyes finding Alice staring at her.

*****! Alwhat are you doing here? She asked out of breath.

Shhh (Alice commanded)was trying to find out if its true that if you stare at an asleep person for a couple of minutes youre able to wake them up nonchlalantly answered Alice while opening her bag.

And? asked Bette sitting on the bed.

Not trueat least not with youyou sleep like an elephant!…Ive been here for ten minutes now she finished, rolling her eyes.

Noticing the look on Bettes face, Alice added,

Dont worry you dont look like an elephant, like a clown maybe(pointing the now almost gone scars on Bettes face and arms)…anyway… she didint see me your window was opened Alice finished, pointing the opened window

Oh okgoodso, you have it? Inquired Bette trying not to think about her looks.

Yes your majesty Am fine by the wayyeah had a good day thanks for asking said Alice, teasing Bettes manners.

Taking the papers from Alices hands, Bette sighed, showing her mood.

Wow you still cranky! Alice said, trying to read Bettes face.

Looking at Alice from the papers, Bette said in a softer tone,

Am sorry Althanks for this(showing the papers)is this damn castI hate it! Bette pouted, drawing a smile on Alices face.

YeahDane was impossible too when she broke her arm, dont you remember?said Alice looking around.

Where are the babies?she added, noticing the empty cribs.

“Shane and Greta are feeding them nonchalantly answered Bette back to the papers.

“HmmGreta spends too much time with themI hope she doesnt forget Jamie is mine Alice said while standing up, looking at the door.

Yours? Asked Bette looking at her, back to reality.

Yeah, wellyou know what I mean (Alice said pacing the room)I might not be the drooling godmother nowbut is just now.she is too tinyto many wrinkles ..ugg( Alice added, shaking her head in digust)but in a few yearsIll be the one she stated pointing a finger.

Noticing how Bette was not paying any attention to her, she added while walking to the door.

Gonna check on them just in case

“Oook mumbled Bette, not even noticing Alices departure.

As Alice was walking towards the living room, Greta said,

You know Jules is just like you Tina

As Greta was playing with the baby, Shane was changing Jamie while Tina was trying to clean the dishes.

Nonsense! Stated Alice apperaing at the door is Jamie the one that looks exactly like her

“Al!…what are you doing here? asked a very surprised Tina while looking at Shane and Greta, confused.

Nothingwas talking with Bette said Alice feeling trapped, trying to sound nonchalant as she was looking for an excuse while blaming herself for not having one prepared. Not knowing how to escaped without giving Bettes intentions away.

When? How? asked Tina again, looking at the front door as well as to the garden, confused.

Shhh let me check on these twoAlice said, waving at Tina, silencing her, hoping to change the topic.

Let me. May I? she asked Greta, taking Jules in her arms.

Sure said Greta, smiling. Tina, looking at Shane was trying to figure it out how or when Alice got there.

Smiling at the boy, Alice looked at him, trying to find his cuteness but instead she noticed a special odor hitting her senses.

Oh god!, not againdont you know anything else to do? she asked, handing the baby back to a giggling Greta.

Tina smiling at Alice frankness, was opening her mouth to ask her about Bette and their talk, when Alice, interrupting her said,

Anyway guys have to go so Tee we still on for tomorrow morning, right? she asked taking the front doors *****. Not waiting for an answer, she added,
