“Why is today so special?” Alice asked as she walked out of the water.

Jess sat down at the table looking around at everyone. She crunched down on a carrot.

“Because, Alice, Ivy and I are getting married.” Mime said kissing Ivy’s hand

“That’s great.” Alice through her arms around them. “Wait, Bette, you knew and you didn’t tell me.”

“Well all know how you are with secrets.” Bette teased

“Congratulations” Tina said to them.

3 Months Later

Bette paced in the living while taking on the phone. Tina walked in the door. Jess sat at the table doing homework.

“It’s all right Zoe, I completely understand. That’s your family and you have to be with them.”

Tina walked over to Jess.

“Hey kiddo. What’s going?” She whispered. Jess shrugged her shoulders and continued with her math problem. Bette hung up the phone, and walked over to the table and sat down.

“What’s going on?” Tina asked sitting down next to Jess. Bette let out a big sigh.

“I have to fly to New York in the morning for a meeting that I absolutely can’t miss, and the baby sitter just canceled, and there is no one else that can here with Jess for three days.” Bette sat the phone down on the table, and started flipping through her address book.

“Why don’t I stay with her?” Bette and Jess looked up at the same time.

“You would do that.” Bette said.

“Absolutely, I would love to it.” Tina smiled and looked at Jess “If that is okay with you.”

Jess shook her head yes.

“I don’t know. Jess can be a handful sometimes.”

“I have a little brother that is ten years younger than I am and I used to care of him all the time when my parents had to go out of time.”

“I guess it would be okay. She doesn’t have school on Thursday or Friday.”

“That’s cool I’ll take the rest of the week off and we will do something fun.” Tina smiled at Jess, and Jess smiled back. That way I can drop you off at the airport and then pick Jess up after school. Bette still a little unsure. Not that she didn’t trust Tina she trusted her more than anyone else, but Jess hadn’t gotten into trouble in a while and trouble always seemed to work its way out of her after a dry spell. She knew it was only a matter of time. Bette looked at Jess who had huge grin on her face.
