that
age, which gives a whole new meaning to “The Terrible Twos.”  
Shifter hatchlings are cute as hell but they are bratty and
mischievous beyond anything most human mothers can imagine.
                  Now
also consider the fact that female gators lay 20-50 fertilized eggs
at a time.  Shifter hatchlings are tougher than regular
hatchlings, so they have a 75 percent survival rate up through
maturity.  For normal gators, there is only a 10 percent
survival rate up through maturity.
                  A
number of shifters in the county had political connections, so
Marianne was able to obtain a special license under the Gator Rescue
statute that allowed her to keep gators onsite up until they were
about 4 feet long.  That meant they were sub-adults and had not
yet reached maturity and could not yet procreate.  She was
supposed to release the gators into the wild before then, as far as
the state of Florida was concerned.
                  This
gave her a bit of a challenge, since she needed real gators to
release.  So, she kept some normal hatchlings onsite at all
times, being VERY careful not to mix them up with the shifter
hatchlings, and so then she had some real alligators to set free for
state inspectors to see.
                  All
the “children” would be shifting into human form for the first
time when they should be at the late stage of being toddlers, and
this was a bit traumatic.  If this type of shifter – what the
community called “Hatchers”– got past the physical trauma of
becoming human at such a young age, then they had to assimilate and
play catch up – learning to walk and talk and all that. 
                  Because
of this late start in life, many Hatchers were not exactly what one
would call well-adjusted, nor were they the smartest people on the
planet.  They were still smarter than regular gators, though.
                  Mainstream
shifters were all those who are born human.  Being born human
and experiencing a shift during adolescence also was challenging, but
there was more time to prepare, and one's child was more mentally
ready for the event. Once these children were around 10 years old,
his or her parents would shift and take them out swimming with them
in the Glades, so they could start to get used to reptilian life.
                  Marianne
took the name and phone number of Ray's cousin.  She would
initiate contact, because she knew how stressful and embarrassing
these circumstances could be.  His sister's boyfriend was
guaranteed to walk away from the situation.  
                  When
shifters married and mated as humans, the fathers usually stuck
around. 
                  If
they mated during a shift, then they behaved like typical male
gators.  They swam away. 
                  It
was instinct.  It was shitty, but it was biology.  Blame it
on Madame LaBelle.

                  Brandy
exfoliated herself the next morning, per usual, while feeling
horribly hungover.
                  She
brushed and brushed until her body brush almost lost all its
bristles.  Sometimes after a night of drinking, she got really
dehydrated, which did not help her perpetual state of reptilian
eczema.
                  She
took a quick shower, rubbed herself with coconut oil, and popped a
couple of ibuprofen.  She couldn't even think of eating
breakfast right now. She had a plan, and she needed to pull herself
together.
                  An
hour later, her stomach felt less queasy and she decided she could
scramble herself up some eggs. Then she made herself presentable and
took a trip back to Animal Sphere.
                  She
drove this time.  She also brought her resume, which really
wasn't much, but it showed she had taken biology classes at the local
community
