“Ok I need to get back to work babe” Bette said kissing Tina “Good luck with Lisa today”
“Lucky escape you have” Tina sighed “How hard can choosing flowers be?”
“She’s definitely your daughter, fussy!” Bette laughed
“I am not that bad compared to her” Tina said “She take’s it to whole new level”
Bette laughed “I’ll see you tonight baby”
Bette leaned in and kissed Tina softly before walking towards her car
“Bye girls” Bette said before getting into her car
“Bye Mama” Lisa said waving
Carmen smiled and waved “Ok I need to run too I start work in an hour”
Lisa hugged Carmen as did Tina before they made their way over to Tina’s car.
“Hey partner” Andrew smiled at Carmen as she sat at her desk “Now please don’t be all sad”
“I’m not, I’m good” Carmen smiled
“That’s a total lie your girl has abandoned you again!” Declan smirked
“Dude you’re about to lose your teeth” Andrew snapped “There’s a joke and then there’s too far”
“It’s cool, its fine he’s just jealous because my girlfriend is hot and he struggles to get a girl to even look at him” Carmen smiled
“OUCH!” Declan said “Bit harsh!”
“And you saying my girlfriend abandoned me wasn’t?”
“Ok I apologise but I didn’t mean it nasty” Declan smiled walking over and wrapping his arms around Carmen “You know I love you and support you”
Carmen couldn’t help but smile “Declan get off me you douche”
Declan got off her and walked over to his own desk he sat down
“Where’s Kenzi?” Andrew asked
“She’s in with Sergeant Campbell we had a briefing or something and she was filling him in” Declan answered
Andrew’s radio went off “Go ahead?”
Carmen was already on her feet and on route to the door, Andrew following behind her.
“Understood and on route!” Andrew stated getting in the car

“MASON!” Tina shouted
“WHAT!” Mason snapped storming downstairs
“I asked you 20 minutes ago for you to bring down your washing!”
“Yes and I was in a middle of a game and said I’d do it when I finished!”
“Attitude!” Tina said
“What attitude, there is no attitude!”
Bette walked in the door. She put her keys in the bowl taking off her jacket and hanging it on the stand.
“Mason go and get the washing and bring it down right now!”
“Oh for god sake!” Mason snapped storming upstairs
“What’s going on?”
“His attitude, I asked him to bring his washing down 20 minutes ago, he ignored me apparently he was in the middle of a game.” Tina sighed “Jess is gone so were in for 3 weeks of hell”
Mason walked down stairs he threw the washing infront of Tina’s feet and turned to walk up the stairs.
“WOW I do not think so!” Tina snapped
“What? You asked for it, now you have it!”
“Yes and now I’m asking for your x-box controllers, go get them right now!” Tina said
“WHAT, you are being so un reasonable!”
“GO NOW!” Tina said
Mason stormed all the way back upstairs returning with the controllers.
Bette walked into the kitchen turning on the kettle; she listened to what was going on.
“Take your washing into the laundry room” Tina instructed
“You wanted it, you do it!”
Bette had to bite her tongue and not get involved.
“Mason last warning, do it now or face the consequences!”
Mason lifted the washing storming into the laundry room; he dropped it in the basket and then stormed back upstairs.
Tina walked into the kitchen. Bette looked at her wife. “You okay?”
“I hate being bad parent, that’s your job!” Tina smirked
“You handled that pretty well” Bette smiled
“Thank you” Tina said “How was your day?”
“Was okay, meetings mostly”
Bette handed Tina a mug of tea.
The house phone rang just as Bette was about to sit down. She lifted it out the stand.
“hello…oh hey sweetie…I’m glad you got their safely, you sound tired…I’m just home from work…ok let’ me just pass you on to mum…love you too”
Bette handed Tina the phone
“hey angel are you okay?…yes things are fine, Mason is playing up already…he’s just lost his x-box…No don’t mention anything to him…it’s maybe just today because you’ve just left…okay honey phone tomorrow…love you bye!”
