Jessie

The trouble was that Jessie liked Cody and that was hard enough. He had quickly become one of the highlights of her day and as far as the workday alone went, he was the highlight of her day. When she was exhausted from cleaning for hours and yet more tired thinking about all the things she’d have to do as soon as she got home, Cody always seemed to show up. Or she would go visit him in the kitchen and he’d give her a snack or a soda and chat with her and she always felt better. Sometimes when she surprised him in the kitchen, she caught him while he was grumpy and grumbling at his kitchen staff or himself because he was unhappy with a dish or the state of the kitchen. He always seemed a little more cheerful when Jessie left too. Unless she was imagining it.

But Jessie had decided that her little crush would only remain that; a little crush. It could not be anything more. That was too big of a risk.

Pls pick up applesauce & milk.

It was followed by several nonsensical but cheerful emojis.

Jessie chuckled at the emojis, wondering what an octopus and a unicorn had to do with anything and replied.

Ok. We had a gallon of milk?

Molly replied: Twins spilled it all over floor.

“Noooo.” Jessie groaned into her hand and took a couple of seconds, first to imagine what an awful mess that must have been and then hoped that Molly had cleaned it up.

Poor Molly.

She texted back an okay and an octopus emoji for good measure and pocketed her phone.

Molly was twelve years old and the twins, Kevin and Mary, were three. Then there was the ten-year-old, Chris, and eight-year-old Jason and the toddler, Sophie. They were all bear shifter cubs.

None of them were hers and neither were they her siblings.

“Okay, one more hour,” Jessie said, sighing.

The Clan, as Jessie had taken to calling it, of six bear shifter children who Jessie cared for all by herself had sort of fallen into her lap one day. Since that day, life had
