Tina put Alex to bed while Bette waited on the couch. Bette noticed that Summer was not home yet. Tina came back and sat next to Bette.

“T, I had a blast with you and Alex tonight” said Bette, “She is the cutest kid ever. What are you guys doing tomorrow?”

“Well, I have to go in the office in the morning for a few hours, after that nothing. I was going to rent some DVDs, just hang out here” said Tina.

“After practice I might stop by, is that ok?” asked Bette.

“Sure, just stop by my office in the later”

“Great T”

Bette kissed her on the cheek. She walked to her car thinking “I am glad my relationship with Tina is getting better”

She got home, took a shower and went to bed. In the morning she got up, worked out then went to practice. Being on defense was kicking her ass. Her body was taking a beating. She needed to get more body mass. The strength coach said she needed to add a half hour to her weight training.

Shane picked Carmen up from home and they went roller blading on the pier.

“So how was work this week Carm?”

“It was interesting. They had me working the E.R and you know it is never a dull moment. Last night some idiot swallowed 10 good Jane doll heads. At first we thought he was h mule with ten bags of smack in his stomach. So we too x rays and discovered that since they were plastic doll heads he was not worried about them bursting in his stomach” said Carmen.

Shane was hunched over laughing.

“When is the next tournament?” asked Carmen.

“Next week actually, a small one in Fresno. I wanted to know if you were on call next weekend, maybe you could come”

“I would love to. I will let you know” Carmen said.

“Yesterday I was at the park when my mom called, telling me that her house was being foreclosed on. I told her that I would wire her the money. I was glad to have the money to help her out. I have not lived with her since I was eighteen years old. I am glad I was able to pay it off for her. She has always been very supportive of my skating” said Shane.
