“Yes, I do. But I understand, some day right?”

 

“Right.”

 

“And until that day will come, can we get another dog?”

 

“BETTE! You’re emotionally blackmailing me!” Tina said shocked.

 

“Maybe.” Bette smiled.

 

“What would you do if I’d agreed to have a baby?” Tina asked.

 

“I would jump on the chance with no hesitations.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Of course, besides the new baby would want it’s own dog.” Bette smiled.

 

“You’re making no sense!”

 

“Sorry, I have an headache.” Bette said. Tina looked at her touching her cheek, “I’ll give you a massage when we get home”

 

“Thank you.” Bette smiled.

 

“Tee?”

 

“Yes?”

 

“One day though, right?”

 

“One day” Tina smiled kissing Bette.

 

 

 

 

They walked in the house. “Grove?” Bette yelled. “Grover?? Tina where is he?”

 

“Maybe he’s an Angie’s room Bette went and checked, she ran to the back yard. “Tee he’s gone!” Bette exclaimed, “God where is he.” She ran outside “Grover???”

 

“Bette I’m sure he’ll come back…” Tina said trying to calm Bette.

 

“Tee he would have never run on his own! Someone took him” Bette was frantic.

 

“Baby, we’ll find him I promise.” Tina said.

 

“I… god what if something happened to him??”

 

“Bette, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation.” Tina calmed.

 

“What? He saw himself on TV and decided joining Sesame Street?”

 

“Bette…”

 

“I’m sorry, it’s not your fault, I’m sorry.” Bette said.

 

“Come here.”

 

“Tina! We don’t have time for this now!!” Bette said shocked.

 

“Bette! I just want to give you a hug! God!” Tina said.

 

“Oh, sorry. God I’m a wreck.”

 

Tina wrapped her arms around her. “Babe we’ll find him he’s a smart dog.”

 

“He is isn’t he?”

 

“The smartest.”

 

Just then Kit arrived with Angie and Grover.

 

“Grover!!!” Bette yelled running towards him he jumped her licking her. “God I was worried sick!”

 

“Bette, we left you a message in your answering machine, didn’t you hear it?” Kit asked. “We said we’re taking the dog because Angie missed him.”

 

“Oh, I thought…”

 

“You thought the dog decided to run? And took his leash with him?”

 

“I didn’t look if the leash is there…” Bette sheepishly said.

 

“You always check that Bette!”

 

“Yeah, I was…”

 

“A wreck” Tina supplied.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Hi Grove, you gave us quite a scare.” Tina smiled.

 

 

 

 

Tina and Bette were in bed, Tina planting kisses along Bette’s neckline waiting for her to recover. “You’re the best masseuse Ever.” Bette breathed “Very… thorough”

 

“Well, I’m glad you approve.” Tina smiled, nuzzling Bette’s neck.

 

“I’ve come to a decision today.” Bette declared.

 

“Oh?”

 

“Jodie’s grace time is over.” Bette said. Tina looked at her.

 

“Are you sure?”

 

“I’m done, I’ve paid.”

 

“Good for you.”

 

“Yes, she’s the hit man responsibility now.”

 

Tina looked at her, “No?”

 

“I wish” Bette smiled. “But she’s done. No more mister nice girl”

 

“Good babe. Can I be there when you kick her ass?”

 

“Oh I don’t know when that’ll happen it can happen anytime.”

 

“Call me and I’m there” Tina smiled.

 

“Can we not talk about her anymore?”

 

“You brought it up.”

 

“My mistake.”

 

“They usually are.”

 

“I have an idea!”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Lesson number seven, lets go for seven, you’ve got one, I’ve got two… only four more to go!” Bette smiled her hand caressing Tina’s breast.

 

“Seven ha?” Tina moaned.

 

“Think how much fun number ten will be” Bette whispered.
