“Angell,” Flack’s voice said tensely as he came up to group standing in the zoo. He hadn’t expected to run into his ex-girlfriend, but he should have known better, considering that he was attending the birthday party of the child of a mutual friend, but he was still a bit surprised to see her there. He figured you were always surprised to run into people you don’t want to see.
“Flack,” she said back flatly.
“Could say hello to the rest of us, Flack,” Stella said with a smirk.
“Sorry, Stell,” he said, giving her more of a smile, “I saw her first.”
Stella raised an eyebrow before turning back to the kids running around in the park. “Who’s idea was it to help Danny and Kaile baby-sit fifteen six year-olds?”
“I believe it was their idea,” Hawkes replied, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
“OK,” Stella sighed, “Who’s idea was it for us to agree to this?”
The other three looked at each other before shrugging. “I think we didn’t agree to anything,” Angell replied, “It was just taken as a given.”
“I agree,” Hawkes nodded, “We weren’t asked; we were ordered.”
“Seems like it,” Flack agreed. The four of them stood there, watching the children run through the park, and Hawkes shook his head.
“We are suckers.”
“Yes,” Stella sighed, “Yes, we are.”

“Well—no dead bodies so far,” Danny said as he handed his wife a pretzel from the vendor.
“The day isn’t over yet,” Kaile replied, breaking off part of it, “Still a chance.”
“Well—I’m sure they don’t want to scar the children.”
“Yeah, I hope not.”
“Hey Mommy,” Mandy said, looking up at her mother, “Why are Aunt Jen and Uncle Don yelling at each other?”
“Because they don’t get along too well,” Kaile replied.
“Why?”
“Because they’ve got a history,” Danny replied.
“What does that mean?”
“Means they were in love once upon a time, but something went terribly wrong,” Kaile sighed.
“Why?”
“No one knows, really.”
“Why?”
“Because they didn’t choose to tell us.”
“Why?”
“Mandy, why don’t you go play with your brother?” Kaile suggested.
“What if his friends don’t like me?”
“I’m sure they’ll adore you,” Danny replied, giving her a piece of pretzel, before nudging her in the direction of the other children. She waddled her way over to the group, and her parents watched for a minute; before their eyes shifted to the two people they had been talking about before.
“They’ve started bickering,” Kaile stated.
“How long do you think till it escalates into something more than bickering?”
“A full blown fight? Probably not too long. That tends to be their pattern.”
“Think it’ll turn into something more than that?”
Kaile hesitated for a minute, “Well, I think it could go one of two ways. Either they could kill each other in front of the six year-olds, or they could screw each other in front of the six year-olds.”
“Either way, its not going to be something that’ll promote our abilities as parents to the businessmen and the stay at home moms.”
“I thought we decided we weren’t out to impress them the evil soccer moms.”
“Yes—but we don’t want Alex to lose his friends because they think we’re unfit parents—or lose Alex and Mandy for the same reason.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Yeah,” Kaile nodded, watching as Flack and Angell stopped throwing things at each other out of the corners of their mouths, and turned to facing each other and yelling into each other’s faces. “That’s a bad sign,” Kaile cringed.
“It usually is.”
“Go stop them.”
“What?” Danny said, giving his wife a look.
“Danny.”
“Alright, alright.”
He headed over to them, listening to them as they yelled over each other about something that didn’t sound as important. He held up his finger as he approached them, and opened his mouth slowly to start to speak.
“Hey guys—”
“Can it, Messer,” they both responded in unison. Danny turned back to give his wife a look, and she glared back at him, and he shook his head before speaking up again.
“I know you two want to scratch each other’s eyes out, or something equally hideous, and I’m not here to stop you,” he started again, “But could you please not do it in front of fifteen impressionable six year-olds whose parents don’t need another reason to mistrust us with their children.”
Flack and Angell grumbled something before moving off into another end of the park. Danny returned to where Kaile was sitting and she gave him a smile before leaning and resting her head on his shoulder.
“Thank you.”
“Stand up to an angry Flack and Angell? Anytime.”
