*Beats with a broom.*
"outta my apartment!"
*Eponine smiled. It was hard to listen to that song, but she reminded herself that he was only trying to be helpful, and that Cosette was dead. He was most definitely still getting over her death, the death of their child, and whatever else had happened. Aimee immediately quieted down and smiled in her sleep, in turn making Eponine happier.*
"I think she likes your singing better than mine." *Eponine said, laughing.*

**NEW DAY, NEW VISITOR!**
*After climbing the stairs to their fourth floor apartment, Renn unlocked the door and opened it. She held it open for Rochester, trying to be polite.*
"It's not all that fancy and-" *she looked around, noting baby toys on the floor, the odd empty cup on a table, and many other things that kept it from looking neat.*
"Oh, sorry for the mess."

*Eponine poked her head out of the kitchen.*
"Renn? You home?" *She called. Aimee, who was crawling around her feet, scooted herself over to Renn and reached up.*
"Wen!" *She giggled, wanting to be held.*

*Rochester smiled and gave a dismissive flick of his wrist.*
"No worries, darling. There is only so much one can do when there is an infant involved."

"Hey booger," *Renn said, picking up Aimee and grinning.*
*She held the little girl against her hip with the ease of someone who was used to dealing with babies, and turned to Rochester.*
"Yeah. Oh, this is Aimee, and Eponine," *she waved to her friend.*
"'Ponine, this is Lord Rochester."

*Eponine blanched at his title, but came sweeping in as gracefully as she could.*
"Bonjour, Monsieur. It's a pleasure to meet you." *She said, smiling.*

*Rochester offered a deep superfluous bow.*
"Ladies...the pleasure is mind. I am at your service."

*Renn grinned and shifted Aimee on her hip.*
"Rochester was the one who helped us pay for the house."
*The sentence was a bit garbled, as Aimee kept poking at her face as she was trying to talk.*
"What d'you want, kid?" *she asked, tickling the toddler's belly.*

*Rochester's brow furrowed slightly, but he turned his attention to the other woman with a smile.*
"Miss Eponine, it is so nice to make your acquaintance. I am glad to see the three of you are doing well in the apartment."

*She smiled.*
"Thank you so much, monsieur, for everything."
*Eponine grabbed the baby, who was happy to be back to mommy.*
"I was just about to head out to the store... sorry about the mess!" *She said, grabbing her purse and heading out the door.*

"Oh, okay-" *Renn said, surprised that Eponine would rush out when she'd just brought a guest. And she was hoping that Aimee would relieve any inevitable awkwardness. Babies were good for that sort of thing.*
"Bye then!"

"Pleasant trip to you then. I hope to see you again soon."
*Rochester turned back to Renn once they had left.*
"I do hope that my presence wasn't too disconcerting. I didn't mean to intrude."

"No, it's fine, really. I'm sure she was heading out as we got here."
*She smiled.*
"Not much of a baby person?"

*Rochester looked back to her innocently.*
"Why would you say something like that?"

*Renn smirked.*
"I saw that look," *she said with a laugh.*
