“Guys…everything is all right with Tina and the babies…” Bette blurred out, waiting for some reaction.

“Oh that’s good…” Alice exhaled in relieve, then it hit her…”Wait a minute…did you just said babies…?” Alice said with wide open eyes…Dana gasped and jumped hugging Tina…Shane was exited to and they all were congratulating them…

“Dr. Wilson said it too early to find out the babies gander…so we have to wait and see…” Bette explains…

“This is soo cool…” Alice jumped up and down…”I’m so happy for you guys…um…what about E.R.I.C…Alice said looking at Bette. Bette shrugged her shoulder and said…”It’s up to Tina, if she decides to tell him…”

“I think I have…” Tina said looking at Bette…”Are you ok with that?”

“If that’s what you want and think for right…then I’m ok with it…but if he tries to do something in our harm, I’ll make sure he regrets it…” Bette said kissing Tina’s temple…

 Jody was still in her office, when certain news flashed on her monitor. Two days ago, one of the biggest mafia bosses had been cast in paying a giant price for unpaid charges, and now his lower Eric Donovan was missing…Some close people to Don Felipe, said that he’s hiding scared for his life…

Jody smiled devilish and dials some number. Few rings after that a man with Italian accent picked up…

“Hello…who’s this?” The man asked angrily

“Franco…hey, it’s me Jody…remember me?” She said, trying to sound casual

“Oh…Lerner? Where did you go?” Franco said, now soften his voice.

“Here…and there…listen, I think I can help you finding your man!” Jody said with smug smile…

“Really…and how exactly a little, smug lady like you can help me, finding a dead man?” He said laughing…”Because that’s what I’m going to do with him…”

“Well, you have to find him first…and I know a person you can ask about…”

“What you want!” Franco said sensing that Jody wasn’t just good Samarian.

“I want the same person to disappear…?” Jody said playing with the phone’s cable…

Bette packed the car in front of Eric’s block of flats and turned off the engine. She sighs and looked at Tina…

“When you’re ready…” She said with faint smile and heart curled on a ball in her chest.

Tina nods” I’m ready, let’s finish with this and go home…”

Bette smiled and stepped of the car. She liked the sound of those words …”let’s go home…”

They walked up the stairs and Bette pushed the elevator button. Tina reached her hand and took Bette’s, lightly caressing her palm with her thumb. That gave some calmness to Bette, but she was still nervous…

“Why I have the feeling like we’re going to talk with the pope…” Bette said sarcastically…

“That’s nothing…wait till we have to talk with my parents…then you’ll feel like talking with the pope…” Tina said swinging their hands….

Bette looked down at their connected hands and smiled.

“I like that…” She said kissing Tina’s cheek.

“What…?” Tina asked confused.

“That…you and me holding hands…announcing about the baby…I mean the babies…and talking with your parents will make it official…” Bette said dreamingly.

“Will make official your lost freedom…?” Tina said teasingly…

“No…will make official my family…our family…” Bette said making Tina melt. It was amazing how person like Bette, whom the independent means everything, can talk about family. She felt save and loved, something that Tina had forgot lately. The elevator stopped and the beeping sound brought them back in the reality.

“Here we go…” Tina said leading Bette away…

Jody finished her dirty deal and made the plans. Two weeks, two weeks and Bette will be hers again. If the plan works Tina will be off the picture forever. Jody placed the phone down and leans back staring at Tina’s picture on the monitor. She points at her with her finger…

“Two weeks blonde…and you’re out the game…” Jody said with evil laugh
