The door opened and Tina walked into the house rubbing her 9 month pregnant belly as Oz trotted in beside her. He was a full grown German Shepard now and very protective of his owners and of 7 year old Reed who loved pushing the dog in the pool. Oz hated that of course, but he couldn’t help but love the lovable little boy and often time pushed him into the pool by nipping at him when he was near the edge.

Bette would laugh and take him out. Her limp had diminished greatly in the last seven years and though they continued receiving threatening pictures and notes from Bryon she remained strong. Tina collected every single message they received, putting them in file folders looking for clues or messages to know what Bryon’s plans were.

It was true Bryon received a life sentence but he could pretend to be good to get out on parole, or he could be planning an escape. Any way the idea made Tina uneasy and she only knew that if Bryon ever harmed Bette, Reed, or the little girl she was about to have Tina wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.

"Babe you’re home early, everything okay in training today?" Bette asked.

"Sure, the cadets are very respectful of me and they follow my orders, but I get more tired the closer we get to the due date," Tina said.

"I’m glad Tasha’s giving you halfdays," Bette said kissing Tina’s lips in greeting.

"Mommy!" Reed howled running into the room excitedly.

Bette slowed him down before he jumped on Tina, "Reedy baby you can’t jump on Momma T anymore, she’s carrying your baby sister."

"Oh right, sorry mom," Reed said giving her a gentle hug then flicking one of Oz’s ears playfully.

Oz nipped at his finger and wagged his tail playfully. Reed slapped his face playfully then jet towards his room with Oz chasing after him barking.

"Reed one day he’s gonna bite you!" Bette warned.

"He won’t," Tina assured, "that dog will only bite if I tell him to bite."

"You trained him really well," Bette said.

"He’s a member of this family Bette, that dog is a blessing," Tina said, "he helps a lot with training cadets and other K-9 units."
