The Howling Wolves Vacation to PBS Town

chapter 3: Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

"Do you like ballet?" Dee Dee asked.

"Probably not as much as Angelina." Dot smiled.

At the park, the kids was playing and so were the animals. Sitting on the bench was Jane Read, reading her book. Unknown to her, Kate was crawling away from her mother.

"Wanna take a walk down the park?" Alexandra asked her boyfriend.

"Sure." Henry replied.

The two teens then took a walk.

"It's great to get out of the city for a while." Alexandra smiled.

Kate cooed and looked up to them.

"Huh?" Henry asked before bending down and picking up the baby girl with a smile. "Where'd you come from, sweetheart?"

Kate giggled, clapping her hands.

"I guess she wandered from her mom." Henry guessed.

"Where would we find her mother though?" Alexandra wondered.

Kate smiled up to the two teenagers, even if she had no idea what they were saying.

"Come on, let's find her mom." Henry suggested.

Kate babbled and giggled to them. Jane smiled as she read her book before looking to the sandbox and gasped that her baby daughter was missing.

"Uh, excuse me? Is this your baby?" Alexandra asked.

"Kate!" Jane gasped and soon took her baby back. "Oh, Kate, you scared me!"

"I guess she crawled a bit too far away." Henry said to the woman.

"Oh, thank you," Jane said to them. "Thank you, you two."

"Oh, it's no problem." Henry replied.

"Say, are you two busy tonight?" Jane asked them. "I need a babysitter for my kids for a couple of hours. I will pay you both $20 each."

"Well, sure... If it's okay with you, Henry." Alexandra replied before looking to her boyfriend.

"I watch over my nine younger siblings all the time," Henry said. "How much trouble can two kids be?"

"How many kids do you have?" Alexandra asked.

"Three," Jane smiled. "Kate, you've already met, and I have a son in third grade named Arthur and another daughter in preschool named DW."

"That shouldn't be too hard." Henry smiled back.

"Thank you, I'll see you around 5:00," Jane smiled as she handed them a piece of paper. "Here's my address."

"Sounds good," Alexandra smiled. "See you then, Mrs... Um...?"

"Read," Jane replied. "Jane Read."

"See you then, Mrs. Read." Alexandra then said.

"Thank you again, kids," Jane smiled. "I'll see you later."

Kate then babbled and waved to the two teenagers.

"Bye-Bye~" Alexandra cooed to Baby Kate.

"I think she liked you." Henry smiled to his girlfriend.

"I know, we should have a kid." Alexandra smiled back.

Henry's eyes widened and he looked shocked.

"I meant in the future, silly." Alexandra told him.

"Uh... Right..." Henry replied. "Maybe..."

"Come on. Let's keep walking." Alexandra said.

"Okay." Henry replied.
