Jane

Jane couldn’t believe this was happening.

If it were anything else, she would simply grit her teeth and bear the inconvenience, but rats are magnets for disease and there were so many visible that she couldn’t even imagine how many were hiding out of sight. So much for the fancy new apartment. She thought, already planning some very choice words for her leasing agent.

Ethan’s voice hardened on the other end of the line, “Is ev erything okay? Are you in trouble?”

“Down boy.” Jane answered simply, “there’s no danger, un less you count the danger of me puking in disgust. We appear to have a rat infestation – and a big one at that.” Peeking into the apartment, she shuddered when she saw a handful of long, hairless tails slipping away beneath her expensive fur nishings.

Jane could almost feel Ethan relax through the phone, and she was certain she heard the start of a smile in his voice. “The babysitter is still here, I’ll be over in a sec to help you.”

“Ethan,” she stopped him, feeling suddenly very over whelmed. “This is the only reason I’m agreeing. If I had another choice I’d take it.”

If Ethan’s thoughts followed the same train as Jane’s – which told her she had a thousand other choices ranging from going back to Linda’s, to getting a hotel or simply leaving the city early – he had the sense not to voice them. “Of course, Janey.”

After she hung up, she looked down at the curious faces of her babies. “Well munchkins you got your wish, we’re going to go stay with Ethan and Paisley.” Jane dragged an exhaust ed hand through her long hair, “And I’m starting to think I have a seriously self-destructive streak.”

“Wha’s a self-structive streak?” Riley asked promptly, even while she and the boys dance around in celebration.

“Something grown ups have that makes them do things they know they shouldn’t.” Jane explained with a frown.
