Sawyer was still new to the orphanage as he had found a tv to turn on and watch. He had heard that there were other kids around here but he had yet to see any as he found the classics tv channel and begin to watch Mork and Mindy. Sophie ChangCarmen Ortiz

Sophie wasn't going to elementry school just yet so she just needed to do the homework her teacher left while the others were doing their own version of high school or just being out. She was also getting a chance to bake everyday and help with lunch in the kitchen. She did miss school but not some of the children there. So still physically sidelined and in her wheelchair she had about two hours before she had the video call from her teacher. Rolling her way into the quieter part of the orphanage she listened hard hearing some noise. Somebody was clearly around in the TV room; she was just as happy to listen the radio in her room and she reached up to open the door then let herself in. Today she'd be wearing her normal jean shorts and a black vest top. She didn't need shoes a lot of the time so hadn't bothered as she left the chair rarely. Somebody was watching an old show and then it hit her who it was. "Sawyer, what are you doing here?" she posed sounding surprised. He was one of the people she clearly didn't expect to meet here.

Well it was slightly better than sleeping in the slums and it did give an aura of safety as she was still looking around when she heard the television and then heard voices too. "That's the same thing I want to know," she said as she crossed her arms. "Also Sophie, good to see you though we went looking for you and not so much a note," she said as she was happy to see her. "It's good to see you and Sawyer really?" If he started with that Alien talk she was out of here. Sawyer DuneSophie Chang

Sawyer took a second. "Have you guys really never seen Mork and Mindy? I mean it was way before our time but it's so campy and I like it," he said. "I am going to be staying here a while but I mean I am still going to do what I want so please do not think that this is going to change me." That reminded him he needed to get into a therapy session with Gavin soon. "I have a baby on the way honestly that is what I am doing here. Gigi seems to think that she can help me out with adjusting to such a life change." Sophie ChangCarmen Ortiz

Then entered another person she didn’t expect to see. That was Carmen who seemed happy to see her even with the question she asked. So there would have to be an explanation as she looked back at them. “I suppose I should start at the beginning. I’m here because my aunt was killed in a robbery at the store she worked at. I was shot too but killed one of the robbers. Which now makes me an orphan. I left word with my neighbours where I was going once social services got involved but I did mention you both to a security services detective. She must not have gotten close to finding you. Though Jack was found” she replied and then rolled over to Carmen. “I missed you both. Why is Sawyer talking about a baby for? And I never seen that show” she added quietly. The physical wounds would heal but she’d carry other scars around for a long time to come. Sawyer DuneCarmen Ortiz

She looked at Sophie. "Well we missed you too, we even took a few minutes and broke in your apartment which I guess is your old apartment now," she said. She rolled her eyes at Sawyer. "Who knows?" she asked "I mean the boy believes in aliens, so what have you, what do you do here?" Sawyer DuneSophie Chang

"Carmen and I are having a baby," he said as he continued to watch Mork and Mindy. "I do this so much," he said as he finally tuned it off. "When you went missing Sophie, Carmen and I got so sad and we experienced a little trauma and now that resulted in a baby but everything is completely fine now." Sophie ChangCarmen Ortiz

Carmen and I are having a baby.Sophie couldn't quite believe what she'd just heard. Yes she knew Sawyer believed in aliens and then he explained how and why it had happened. She looked at both of them in turn not sure what to say next but Carmen had also asked her a question. That gave her something to think about. "I'd have left a note on the fridge if I'd known you were going to my old apartment" she quietly replied. "I'm making myself useful by baking so you'd probally had some of my cookies by now. Muffins are next on the to bake list" she added. Then she finally found the words she was looking for. "So what's going to happen next now you know?" she posed. Carmen OrtizSawyer Dune

"Sawyer," she said as she shook her head. "That we are giving up for adoption," seriously she hoped that he did not think that they were going to keep the baby. She could not handle that and she was still reeling from the news herself. "Well Sawyer and i have to take therapy so god knows what that will lead to and then we will have a bundle soon, but for now I do not know. Just taking it a day at a time." She nodded. "All that matters is that you are safe Sophie." Sawyer DuneSophie Chang

He understood but he also felt like it was something that him and Carmen both could not choose to ignore. "Yes," he said. "Now the real question is what can we do around here that will not get us in trouble?" He was also going to mention being careful but he did not want Carmen to feel bad. Sophie ChangCarmen Ortiz

Sophie knew there was things they could do in the grounds and it wasn’t even close to curfew yet. So looking back at Carmen and Sawyer she did initially ponder asking how you got a baby but decided against that. So she advised “you can leave anytime you like as long as you get back before curfew. If you want to stay here there are other facilities as well as going into the gardens. There’s a library room, a computer room I’ll need to use later on and a pool table. Or if you want the kitchen is available and accessible most of the time. We can get some tea or coffee if you wish”. Things could and would be added later on but you had the things you’d need to keep you amused once you couldn’t go out right here. She had a radio in her own room as well as her aunts tablet computer so could keep herself amused and informed. Sawyer Dune Carmen Ortiz

Carmen listened and then spoke. "Wow I was not aware that they had all of that but it makes sense since I have not had much time to go around and everything." She did want some food though. "Tea sounds lovely actually," she said as she looked at Sawyer. "You can come too but please do not keep talking to us about mork and mindy. Aliens might really come down and snatch you up."

"I will behave," he said to them. "That show really does just get to me. It's a good show but no more aliens my focus now needs to be Carmen and the baby and Sophie we should shoot pool later if you know how." Sophie ChangCarmen Ortiz

“So let’s get tea first then pool” Sophie mused and led the way. She rolled into the kitchen she was getting to know better and set up to her liking over time. There was even a cookie jar where her wares got kept in public display. She located the loose tea and a jar of instant coffee and asked Sawyer “do you want anything?” while she brewed up for Carmen and herself. It was also the time of year for iced teas and coffees. “Cookies are in the jar and the muffins are in the bread bin” she added. Sophie wasn’t yet part of the main cooking team but what she did was appreciated. Carmen OrtizSawyer Dune

She was still adjusting to having a living being inside of her but she was good for conversation. "Thanks Sophie," she said as she completely avoided Sawyer in an effort of getting them. She had never been the type to understand much the less care about feelings about anything but her and Sawyer were going to have to get along which they did for the most part. "You ever thought about making cookie bars as well?" she asked. Sawyer DuneSophie Chang
