Juniper snatched them from Joaquin and tore the packet of cookies to devour the content. “Say thank you,” Joaquin lectured.
“Will you get me some chocolate if I do?”
“Sure.”
“Thank you, Joaquin! You’re the best!” Juniper shouted. Selena sighed and shook her head. Whatever shall I do about this girl? She’s shameless just like me. Then Joaquin went to get some chocolates. They must be getting along well though, since they’re adapting to the change fairly well. Now all that’s left is Jameson. Selena started worrying, then someone called her. “Hey, Jude. Really? I’m at the hospital!”
Jude showed up with Jameson ten minutes later, and Selena gave her son a bear hug. My son’s finally back!
“Mommy!” Jameson changed the way he addressed Selena. Jude told him everything on the way, and he didn’t find it unacceptable. On the contrary, he wanted her to be his mother.
“Jamie!” Juniper was overjoyed, since she fooled around with Jameson more; Joaquin was too much of a poker face for her. Jameson hugged her and gave her a lot of kisses, slathering her face with drool.
Before Selena could raise any complaints, Jude grumbled, “What’s with you son? He kisses everyone he sees. Even me.”
“Jamie, meet up with your brother, and take Juniper with you.”
The children were finally reunited, and the ladies left them to their own devices. The moment they were outside, Selena gave Jude a tight hug. “Thank you, Jude. You have no idea how grateful I am to you right now.”
“Gross.” Jude pushed her away in disgust. “Like mother, like son.”
