Bette laughed, thinking of Jo in the beach house, more than likely getting ready to go on another assignment, “I know the feeling.”

            “Really?” asked Shay in total awe.

            “Really,” replied Sam her mouth full of food, nodding as if to put her point across.

            “That was gross,” lamented Shane having pushed away the plate of food, making a disgusted face at the story Sam had just told them.

            “It wasn’t, the skin was all peeled off and we weren’t even sure where it had come from, until we figured out it was foreskin…  It wasn’t bad at all really, once you put that into context,” said Sam seriously.

            “Foreskin?  Wait, do I know what that is?” asked Shay shoveling potatoes into his mouth his brain working out what Sam was talking about, he’d understood most of what she’d been talking about, but wasn’t sure what foreskin was.

            “ENOUGH!” growled Shane.  “No more medical talk at the dinner table, new rule, no more what did you call it?”

            “Skinned dicks?” asked Sam and Shay laughed so hard that milk came squirting out of his nose.  Sam laughed too, grabbing a napkin and wiping it up. 

            Shane just looked at them coolly, “You’re not funny at all, I’m serious you said to make up the rules as we go, then seriously no more dick talk.  Speaking of serious,” said Shane giving Shay a look.  “Izzy called earlier.”

            “Who’s Izzy?” asked Shay his face still held the remnants of the smile.

            “Izzy is my doctor, sort of, why did Miss Izzy call?” asked Sam sweetly.  “Did I tell you that I love you today?”

            Shane blushed, “No, you didn’t, and she called because something about an overdue check up?”

            Sam pouted, not really wanting to leave LA to go to Seattle to get her arm checked; again, her shoulder was fine.  There was no pain and in fact, she was feeling better by the day.  “Did she say when?”

            “Yesterday was what she told me, but before you take your boards?  Are those some kinna test?” asked Shane not knowing what the boards were all about.
