Ava whent up to a crib. She quickly made some formula in a bottle and picked up the baby.

“Have you ever cooked before?” Ethan asked knowing that most new kids have never even touched a stove.

Nykidia went from crib to crib humming and rocking the babies while she hoped Ava would come by and get the babies something to eat while she was calming them down.

Ava put the baby back down and then moved to the next one making another bottle.

"I made trail mix once, if that counts." Fynn muttered, kind of embarrassed by his lack of useful skills.

“It’s ok no one ever knows how to cook when they first get here,” Ethan said his smirk turning into a kind smile. “We don’t usually talk during lessons but today I’ll help you figure out we’re everything is and how it works.”

Fynn nodded, grateful that someone here was actually keeping him from trouble. "Thanks. I'm ready to start cooking."

“Alright then right this way,” he said before walking into a room. It had 10 stoves all linens up in rows. There were two boys per a stove. Ethan whent to an empty one.

Fynn followed Ethan to the stove. "If we're messing with fire, I'll give you a heads up and say that I'll probably end up burning this place to the ground."

“Don’t worry you should do fine,” Ethan tried to reassure him. He looked at the board. “Well it seems we are learning how to bake cookies.” He turned to the right page in the cook book.

“We bring the containers to the girls,” he said pointing to the window looking into the kitchen. “Then we wipe the tables.”

Ava saw the Ethan start to walk over. “Nyk I don’t want you doing anything, alright?” She said giving her a small smile. “I’ll do the dishes, Kaliyah do you mind sweeping?” she then whispered ”and keeping an eye on Nyk”

“Sure.” She whispered and started

Kaelyn tended to another baby. She was one of the few waits who knew how to take care of small children when she first came because of her younger siblings. The waits in her house always tried to shoo her away from her siblings, but she always watched from afar. It was always for her stories. The ones she had to hide from her parents in fear of them tearing everything apart. She had made that mistake once, and never again would she make that mistake. Thinking of her family made Kaelyn sad, so she excused herself to go the bathroom.

He perked up. "Cookies? Do we get to eat them when we're done? It's our hard work, after all."

“I wish! We don’t eat anything we cook in here. And they pay attention so it’s hard to sneak any out. But usually when we cook sweets it goes to the toddlers or kids,” Ethan said as he got some bowls and measuring cups out of the cabinets.

"At least we're contributing to society. That makes all this worth a little more." Fynn replied.

“Ok tell me what exactly you know about cooking,” Ethan said wanting to know if he knew the basics.

Fynn thought back to all the years he'd spent back home. "Well…not much. You put stuff in pans and toss it around sometimes…but other times you stick the pan in an oven. How do you know which one to do?"

“It depends on what your cooking. This books tells you everything,” he explained. He pointed at the ingredients list. “This is everything we’ll need.”

"Hey Ava!" Nykidia wispier yelled across the room.

Ava looked over at Nyk. She put the baby down and walking over. ”yeah?”

"I can't help but worry for you. You seemed really stressed lately." She said still rocking the baby.

“I’m as fine as you can be here,” she said giving a small reassuring smile. She has been really anxious and on edge lately.

'Why have you been so nervous?" Nykidia as she set the baby she had been cradling down.

(sorry I've been busy)
”hey I said I'm fine, ” ava said her smile dropping slightly. At that moment a baby started to cry. She walked over to comfort it.

(Yeah, I had finals.)
Nykidia smiled. "That's good then but if you ever need to talk, you can talk to me." She said picking up another baby and cradling it.

(it's okay)
Kaelyn walked back into the nursery. There was a weird tension around Ava, and she wasn't sure if she should ask her about it. All she heard as she walked in through the doors was …I'm fine which was hardly ever true, and Ava sounded agitated. Something's up.
