Tina starred at the ceiling of her bedroom. She couldn’t get Bette off her mind.

"What is it about her that has me so. . . . so. . . .so hot?" Tina thought to herself. She picked Bette in her head. Her beautiful curly brown hair that matched her deep brown eyes. Her 1000 watt smile that she flashes from time to time. "It could be the way she looked in those jeans today. This is ridiculous she’s probably not even interested in me like that, besides she has so much on her plate now. And then there’s everything with the kids. What did she mean by never being able to separate them again?" She thought.

Tina looked at the clock. 3:12. She gave up trying to sleep. She got out of the bed and went into her office. She pulled a stack of essays out of her briefcase. She grabbed a opened bottle of wine and glass and headed back to bed. She began reading the essays making red marks all over them.

"That’s actually funny." She said writing a comment on the essay she was reading. She heard Jack stir in his crib. She looked at the baby monitor. The red LED lights danced across the meter. Then silence. Tina’s heart skipped a beat. She jumped up and headed for Jack’s room. She peeked in. Her heart began to race. She pulled back the blanket they lay in Jack’s empty crib.

"Jack!" She said as she began to run around the house calling his name over and over again. She ran into the kitchen and noticed the lights on next door. She tore out of the front door and ran to Bette’s.

"Shane, I don’t know what to say." Bette said.

"You don’t have to say anything. It’s my duty to be here for them." Shane said.

"I don’t think Callie is going to react to well to this." Bette said.

"So let me be her friend. She’s gonna need all she can get." Shane said.

KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.

"Bette. It’s Tina." She said. Bette quickly opened the door.

"What’s the matter?" Bette asked. Tina walked in panicked.
