Thanks guys for reviewing. Look at our profile page. My sister had to call our grandmother to tell her the death for our mother…and here's a hint: our grandma is hard of hearing.

Chapter Eight

Aye, Chihuahuas!

Beck was throwing a stick into the clear blue water and Kale jumped in right after it, swimming towards his throwing stick he adored so much, even though it was just a stick. He ran back out, shaking the water off him and handed it back to Beck. Beck threw it again, but looked back to Cat, who was laying on her side with a book in her hands, on a long towel with her small bikini on and a large umbrella giving her shade so she doesn't get sunburned. Ipo and Oke were taking naps next to her. Once Kale brought the stick back, he motioned for his dog to walk with him back up to Cat. When he was close, he shook out his wild, brown hair just to get his girlfriend wet.

Cat gasped at the sudden feeling of little wet dots on her body. "Beck!" She screamed out. Beck stopped and laughed. "Oh, you big meanie!"

Beck fell to his knees and leaned over her. "Let me make that up to you." He said seductively as he lowered his lips to hers. Before they could continue, Cat's cell phone rang. Beck growled. "Why?"

Cat giggled and reached for her phone, while Beck went back to playing with Kale. "Oh, hi, Jade! How are you?"

Beck was getting tired, as was Kale, so they went back to Cat and the pups again, but this time, Cat bit her lip. Beck narrowed his eyes at her. "What's wrong?"

"Jade called me." Cat told him as he sat down next to her. "She's opening up her own business over there in England for photography."

"Wow." Beck said in surprise. "That's great."

"It is, but she needs help setting it up." Cat rubbed her lips together. "I have to go for a week."

Beck frowned now. "Oh…"

"But Beck…" Cat sighed deeply. "I hate to ask this of you, but can you take care of the pups while I'm gone? Sure, I have the pet-sitter, but she can't have them all week."

Beck forced a smile and kissed her lips. "Of course. How hard can it be?"

"Okay, here is their schedule." Cat said as Beck brought in the last of his things into Cat's home, where he'd be staying until she gets back. "BUT you can go ahead and call this number-" She pointed on the top of the page. "-and they'll go ahead and just pick the twins up and take them everywhere for you. They've already been notified just in case and I'll pay them when I get back. You know where the pet-sitter lives. If you have to go to work or you just need a break, feel free to take them there for a few hours or even most of the day, but try to always pick them up before 9pm."

"Cat, I can handle this." Beck chuckled. "How hard can their schedule be?"

Cat raised an eyebrow. "Well…Oke and Ipo have dog show training at 7am Tuesday and Thursday. They have obedience school at 3pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. They have Swim-Fun-Time at the doggy park every day at 5pm. This Tuesday, there is a birthday party at the pet-sitter's, so they have to be there for that around 6pm. I already laid out their party outfits. There's three play dates. One on Sunday at Veronica's house –there's the directions- at noon. Second one is at my friend's Patty's house at noon on Friday. Third one is back at Veronica's house at noon on Saturday. They have to go to the Salon for their weekly massages and pedicures on Thursday at 10am. Oh, and on Sunday is their doggy Sunday school class at 7pm." Cat caught her breath as she looked back to Beck. "You still think that's not hard?"

Beck rubbed his lips together and then let out a dry laugh. "Pssh, no…not at all…"

Cat narrowed her eyes at him. "You think you can handle that?"

"Piece of cake." Beck told her in a smug tone.

Cat blinked and then shrugged. "Fine." She took out her wallet. "This is going to cover all the appointments and don't let them tell you how much anything is. There is a price by each appointment in the schedule and that's how much it's going to be. Don't let anyone tell you different."

"No problem." Beck did in his fake British accent.

"Beck, are you sure you can handle this?" Cat asked him seriously. "Oke and Ipo are my whole world. If anything ever happened to them, I would absolutely be heartbroken."

"And I would never let your heart get broken." Beck leaned down and kissed her lips. "Don't worry about a thing."

Cat sighed. "Okay. The pool caretaker comes on in the backyard –he has a key to the gate- in the afternoons on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The landscaper –he does both front and back- comes on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings. They both have already been paid for the month. My store is already taken care of. If the alarm company for the store calls, just tell them to call the new assistant manager, Kyle, and you don't have to worry about that. I've notified them I'd be out of the country. The housekeeper comes on Friday mornings and says still evening time, so you guys can just hang out at your house if you want. She has a key and she also has been told I'll be out of the country. Just don't forget to get the mail and water the plants. Besides that, EVERYTHING ELSE is taken care of."

"I can tell." Beck stared at her with admiration. "How do you do everything with already such a hectic schedule?"

Cat smiled. "It's called growing up." She leaned up to kiss his cheek.

Honk, Honk!

Cat bit her lip. "My Taxi's here…"

Beck nodded and led her out. "Oke, Ipo, Kale, let's go walk Cat out!" He called out.

Beck handed her bag to the cab driver and he put them in the trunk. Cat adjusted her carryon bag and purse. She leaned down to her knees and emotionally kissed her puppies' heads, who licked her back. "Oh, my babies…I'm going to miss you so much!" She cried, tears leaving her eyes. It seemed the twins knew she was leaving as well as they were whining. "I love you both…Beck's going to take good care of you." She said, sniffling. She put them down and pet Kale on the head. "Take care of my babies." She gave the big dog a kiss on the head and looked Beck. "You promise you'll take care of them?"

Beck gave her a smile and hugged her tightly as she whimpered into his chest. "I promise with everything in me. Nothing is going to happen to your pride and joys."

Cat leaned away and nodded. "Okay. I'm trusting you with my life, which are my Chihuahuas." She looked back at them, who were sitting close to her feet, looking up at her. "I love you both." She whispered as Beck kissed her head and opened the back door of the taxi for her.

"Your pups are safe with me, Cat." Beck said and then blew her a kiss as he shut her door. She blew him a kiss back as Beck hit the trunk, indicating she was good to go. As they drove off, Cat was waving goodbye with tears to the twins, who looked to be whimpering. Beck looked down to them and Oke was lying down on the sidewalk, staring at the direction the taxi disappeared in. He sighed. "Come on, guys, let go inside." As Ipo went in slowly after Kale, Beck picked up the depressed Oke and carried him inside.

Beck was sound asleep in his large bed, as Kale was snoring on his bed in the corner of Cat's guest bedroom. Suddenly, Beck groaned as he was awoken by a little tongue on his face. "What the-" Beck opened his sleepy eyes to see small Ipo in front of him. "Ipo?" Ipo was whining. Beck guessed she missed her mom, who arrived in England fine a few hours ago. "Alright, girl, crawl in here." Beck said in an exhausted tone as Ipo went under the covers and snuggled up to Beck's chest. Beck groaned. "This is going to be flippin' long week."

Beck rang the doorbell of Veronica's home, hearing a few barks inside. Kale was in the truck, waiting. Soon Veronica opened the door and gave Beck a smile. "Hello, hello again! Come in." Beck walked in and looked around for his two pups. "Ipo and Oke didn't seem to have fun today." She led Beck to the playroom that held 5-6 dogs. Beck saw Oke and Ipo on the couch, laying there. "I think they're having separation anxiety from Cat."

"I'm guessing so." Beck sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Cat's feeling the same way. I talked to her this morning and she's heartbroken."

"Aw, poor little family." Veronica said sympathetically as she handed Beck the twins' bags. "Here you go. Everything is still in there, since they didn't want to go swimming."

Beck sighed. "Dang, they're REALLY depressed." He went over to the two and picked them up. "Thanks again, Veronica."

"No problem. I'll see them at Sunday School tonight?" She questioned as she opened the front door for Beck.

Beck nodded. "It's on the schedule."

"Eat, man!" Beck snapped as Oke just sat in front of his food bowl, staring at in. Beck groaned as he fell to his knees. "Oke, I'm getting desperate here! You haven't eaten in two days! EAT!" Beck grabbed the bowl and put in right in Oke's face, but the poor Chihuahua did nothing to eat it or even acknowledge it. Beck groaned and slammed his head down on the ground.

Beck sighed as he was sitting on Cat's rocking chair she rocks the twins to sleep with sometimes and held Oke in his arms like a baby as he held the bottle in the pup's mouth and the dog was sucking warm milk out of it. Cat told him that when Oke wouldn't eat randomly, she'd do just that and it'd make him feel better. "Unbelievable." He growled. "You two are so spoiled."

"Hey, Beck! How are my puppies doing?"

Beck rolled his eyes. "They've still alive, Cat. I'm doing fine too, thanks for asking."

"That's good. So what are they doing?"

"They are lying by the pool." Beck looked out the door to where the pups were lying side by side on a towel next to the still pool. "They really miss you."

Suddenly he heard sniffling. "I miss them too! Oh, I miss them so much!"

Beck sighed. "Cat, they are perfectly fine. I'm feeding Oke through a bottle. Ipo is sleeping with me every night. I'm taking them to all their appointments, even though they don't do anything at them. I promise though, they are okay. They'll still be Ipo and Oke when you get back."

"I know…I just miss my babies. I'm so used to see them every day!"

"Cat, you'll be back before you know it." Beck tried to reassure her. "Focus on helping Jade and leave everything to me."

Beck was on the edge of the bed as Ipo stretched out once again. She had most of the bed for a small Chihuahua. Beck was snoring until she stretched again and suddenly his face was planted onto the floor. "OW!"

Cat came into her house, looking exhausted and pale from the long flight, and looked around, putting her things by the door. "Oke! Ipo! Mommy's home!" Suddenly she heard little pants coming down the steps and Cat had tears in her eyes when she saw her perfectly dressed and clean Chihuahuas running up to her. "Oh, my puppies!" She squealed as they ran into her arms, kissing her face. "I missed you both so much!"

Beck came down the steps slower than he should and leaned against the wall, watching the interaction with his girlfriend and her two spoiled rat-dogs, he'd called them lately. "They've been bathed, clothed, fed, and well-rested."

Cat gasped when she saw her boyfriend. She put down the puppies and walked up to him. "Oh, Beck, honey, what happened?" She put a hand on his cheek and he leaned into her touch, realizing how much HE missed her. "Did this happen at work?"

Beck tried to smile, but that hurt his broken nose that Ipo gave him when she practically forced him off the bed. "Yup. Work. Hard work."
