It's a long, restless dream. Tossing and turning, Jeannette whimpers softly. Someone's chasing her and she can't find where she needs to go. Something's missing, something's wrong and--
Jerking awake, Jeannette sits up suddenly, breathing hard. It takes a few seconds to realize she's okay and Demon doesn't have her. Just as the relief begins to flood over her, though, she notices something else is wrong. The blankets are wet, the sheets are wet, and worst of all, her pajamas are wet. Oh no.
She jumps up and out of the bed, glancing around in terror. What are her Papa and Daddy going to say? She's too big for accidents, she's not supposed to have them like a baby! She's four now, a big girl, and she doesn't want to sleep outside!
Scrambling to rip the sheets and blankets off of the bed, Jeannette glances to the clock and then to her bedroom door. Her parents can't know, she can't let them know what a baby she's being. Once she's stripped out of her pajamas, she adds them to the pile of wet laundry and shoves the whole mess into the closet. She'll get dressed in clean pajamas and hope her mattress dries. With luck, House and Foreman will never know.
