The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 99

3rd Person

Riley, Ryder, Parker and Paisley figured out that they weren’t going to get to tell their Mommy the good news about their discovery any time soon, right around the time they heard Ethan and Jane raise their voices.

Their parents knew better than to talk loudly enough to be overheard, so the fact that they were all but yelling clearly meant something was up.

One by one, the pups slipped out of their room and tiptoed down the hall, catching the tail end of Ethan and Jane’s argument. They didn’t understand half of it, but there was no mistaking the fraught energy emanating off the pair in waves.

“This doesn’ sound good.” Paisley fretted, leaning into Riley for comfort.

Almost as soon as the words were out of her mouth, the door slammed shut, and the kids realized Jane had left the apartment. Racing out into the kitchen, they listened as their father explained she would return, but they weren’t so sure. She’d sounded really upset, and he didn’t look like he believed his own words.

They retreated to their room. “We have to do something.” Riley declared. “We need to go after Mommy and make her come back.”

Parker nodded in agreement, he’d noticed in recent weeks that the more time Ethan and Jane spent together, the closer they came to staying together as a family. Every time Mommy ran off on her own or spent time with uncle Eric, however, she started pulling away again.

It was true that they’d all been hurt by what Ethan did to their mother in the past, but he’d been slowly wearing them down. It was impossible for them not to feel how much he cared for them. He was funny and affectionate and they knew he would always be there if they needed him, and that counted for more than anything with pups.

“Daddy won’t let us go out alone though’ Paisley warned, pleased to see her siblings were finally committed to staying with Ethan.

“Then we won’t tell him. Riley declared in a whisper. “We’ll wait ’til he goes to the other room or the bathroom, and sneak out:”

“I like it.” Parker praised, “then we can follow Mommy’s scent wherever she went:”

It took about fifteen minutes for Ethan to finally stop pacing at the door and head for the restroom, and as soon as he closed the door behind him, the pups were out of the apartment and onto the elevator. They rode downstairs overflowing with anticipation, then ran out onto the street.

“Which way do you think she went?” Ryder asked, looking around and sniffing the air. Unfortunately for the pups, the bakery next door was filling the surrounding area with the aromas of fresh bread and cookies. It all smelled delicious, but it certainly didn’t help them track Jane.
