“No luck,” Carmen asks coming from the kitchen

“No luck,” I answer

She sits beside me and puts her head on my shoulder, “Something will come. I just feel it.”

I smile at this. Something is going to ***** alright.

I am sitting in the Planet and the most peculiar thing just happened. Alice came in to have lunch with me but she was all nervous and twittery. If I didnt know any better Id think she were high but she told me she swore off that stuff and her eyes were clear so it couldnt have been that.

She was nervous to the point of knocking things over and tripping over her own feet. She even bumped into the waitress sending a tray full of food on to another customer. She apologized profusely and offered to pay for dry cleaning and then saying she had a thing ran out of the Planet.

What is up with that woman?

*Bette*

Good lord were finally home. Is one of my first thoughts as I pull the car into the driveway. I glance over at Tina to see her fast asleep. She fell asleep about an hour before we hit West Hollywood. Thats okay. I got to play all the ***** music that Tina doesnt like. That woman sleeps like the dead. Its nuts. One thing wakes her up.

I lean over and whisper in her ear, “I love you.”

It takes a moment for those eyelids to flutter open and I see those beautiful hazel eyes of hers staring at me. She smiles.

“I love you too.”

“Were home baby,” I say with a bright smile

Tina looks around and notices that indeed, we are home. Her smile gets bright at this. I jump out of the car and come around to help her out of the car.

“Ill get the bags later.”

I help Tina up out of the car and slowly we walk up the front walk and push open the door. Were met with silence.

“Were home,” I call into the house loudly

The first to respond is my precious little man. By that I mean Cooper, my black lab, that I adopted from when he was just a pup. He come bounding to the front door screeching to a sliding halt when he gets to me. Letting Tina go I scoop him up in my arms.

“How is Cooper. How is my little man?”

His tail is thumping against me as I hold him but I dont let that bother me. I see Tina roll her eyes at this, my interaction with Cooper. I put him down and he stays at my feet.

“Calm,” I say to him evenly and he immediately relaxes

“I cant believe how quickly you taught him all that stuff,” Tina says with a smile

“Well hes a fast learner,” I state smiling down at him

I look toward the stairs to see my mother and Maureen coming down the stairs, each holding a boy. They were laughing at something. Im glad they are getting along so great. Mom notices us first. A big smile breaks out over her face.

“Youre finally home,” she smiles coming down the stairs a little faster but watching her step

As she gets to the bottom of the steps I take Lochlain from her and hold him close.

“Hi mom,” I say taking in the presence of my son

Maureen comes next to me and also hands Gabriel to me. Tina isnt allowed to hold anything more than ten ponds right now. She comes up beside me and stroke the face of each other our boys. She smiles at this.

I look down at my sons who are looking up at me with eyes of wonder.

“Were home,” I whisper, “Finally home.”
