"What's that?" Eli asked looking over my shoulder.

"Our schedules, I guess, when they leave, we can go search the school and find our classes," I said.

"Sure," he said and went talk to my brothers.

I was still looking at how great my classes were when I felt my pocket vibrate. I got a text, 'Your brother gave me your number'- Eli.

I looked over to him and rolled my eyes. He smiled at me, and I saved the number.

"Well, baby sis, I guess we have to go. I love you baby girl," Nick said getting up to put Xavier in his car seat, and came give me a hug.

"I love you too Nick," I told him and Dylan came up to me next.

"Bye Big Cee. Be nice to people out here. Make new friends. I love you," he said and gave me a hug. Then nick and Dylan went to Mandie, and Jacob and John came over to me.

"I love you Kiddo," Jacob said giving me a tight squeeze.

"I love you too Jay," I said, and then he let go that way I can get a hug from John.

"Bye Hun, have a good time. I love you," John said.

"I'll try. I love you too," I said and John let go.

They waved as they were leaving.

"So, what classes you have?" Mandie asked.

"Monday through Friday I have Hip Hop Dance, Music on Monday and Thursday, Weightlifting on Tuesday and Thursday, Song Writing on Wednesday and Friday, Advanced Math and Chemistry on Tuesday, History on Wednesday, and Computer on Thursday," I said looking at my schedule, and handed Eli his.

"I have Hip Hop on Monday through Friday too, Music on Monday and Thursday, Weightlifting on Tuesday and Thursday, Art on Wednesday and Friday, History and Computer on Tuesday, Chemistry on Wednesday, and Advanced Math on Thursday," Mandie said.

"What times you have for Hip Hop?" I asked.

"Umm… Monday and Friday at 2 and Tuesday through Thursday at 4," She said.

"Me too!" I said.

"Hold up!" Drew said.

"What?" Mandie and I said at the same time.

"You dance?" Eli asked.

"Sure do," I said looking at Mandie, "One of our many passions."

"What are your other 'passions'?" Drew asked.

"Well, we both dance and sing, we can play musical instruments, we took karate and taekwondo until we were black belts in both, and I write songs," I said.

"Damn! That's a lot of passions," Drew said.

"What instruments do you play?" Eli asked.

"I play Acoustic and Electric Guitar," Mandie said.

"And I play Acoustic, Electric, and Bass guitar, piano and keyboard, and drums," I said.

"Damn! Where did you find the time to learn how to play?" Eli asked.

"I didn't really learn. I just picked it up and messed around, and it just came to me," I said.

"Wow," he said.

"Anyways… let's get the diaper bag together so we can go find our classes," I said.

"Okay," he said and we packed the diaper bag. I went to the kitchen and grabbed 4 bottles and filled them up, and went back to the room to put them in the bag. Then he grabbed 2 extra sets of clothes, and I changed Xavier into new clothes for today, and he changed Ember. I put the pacifiers in their mouths, while he grabbed the wipes and extra diapers.

Hmm. I wonder if we have strollers…

"Do we have Lily's number by the home phone?" I asked.

"I believe so. Why?" he asked.

"I want to see if we have strollers," I said walking to the phone in our bedroom. I found her number and saved it in my phone. Also our home number was next to it so I saved it as well. I pressed call next to Lily's number and let it ring.

"This is Lily. How may I help you?" she said.

"Hi Lily, this is Candie," I said.

"Hi Candie. Did you need help with something?" she asked.

"Actually, yes. I wanted to know if we have strollers around here?" I asked.

"Yes! They are in one of the hall closet down stairs," she said.

"Okay, and do we have like a supply lists of some sort?" I asked.

"Sure do. They are on the doors of all the classrooms in a sheet protector," she said, "Wanting to get everything done today?"

"Yepp, thanks," I said.

"No problem," she said and we hung up.

"Strollers are downstairs!" I yelled at Eli, and went to go knock on Mandie and Drew's door.

"We have strollers downstairs," I said.

"Nice. What about a supply list?" she asked.

"In a sheet protector on the doors of the classrooms," I said.

"Okay, let's go," she said walking back in the dorm, yelling at Drew.

I walked back in my dorm, and grabbed my wallet, my cigarettes & lighter, my phone, and Xavier. Eli already had Ember in his hands.

"Let's go Eli," I said. He was grabbing his wallet, and his phone off the nightstand in our room.

"Coming," he said, and walked into the living room, "Ready?"

"Yeah. Let's go," I said, and we walked downstairs to see Mandie and Drew already downstairs, fighting, and a bunch of the other couples with their own 'children' and things to get ready for the rest of the day.

I looked in a few closets not finding anything, then I saw a bigger closet, and looked inside, "Found the strollers," I called.

We grabbed 4 strollers, setting our kids in them, and putting necessities in the basket underneath, and walked outside.

"What buildings does everyone go to?" I asked, "I go to the Gym, G1, M8, A5, 107, and B5."

"I go to those too," Eli said, "And C5."

"I'm in the same ones as Candie," Mandie said.

"Same ones as Eli," Drew said.

"School maps on the back," I said, "We can see which classes we go to first, and so on."

"Okay," they said together.

"G1 is right here to our right," I said and on the paper it said to bring your main instrument that's not a drum set, piano, or xylophone. So we didn't take the paper because we didn't need it, and songwriting just said to bring a notebook or binder with paper.

"The Gym's right up here," Eli said, and we all walked to the gym, on the weightlifting paper it said, bring a few bottles of water and clothes you're not afraid to sweat in, and on the dance paper it said to wear clothes you can move in and be already stretched and ready to go. We didn't take these papers because that would be a waste of paper.

"Umm. 107 is right up this hallway and A5 is down that one," I said pointing down the halls, and we knew to take these papers because there're an actual class that needs supplies.

"C5 is in that building," Drew said pointing to the building right outside of the doors from A5. Drew and Eli picked up those because it had art supplies they needed.

"B5 is this way," Mandie said walking around the building we just came out of. And we picked up that paper because it was a real class too.

"And finally, the last class is M8, and it's this way," I said and we walked out of the building we were in and walked to the last building farthest right of the school, and we picked up that paper too. We started walking back to the dorm, and the babies started crying, all 4 of them.

I grabbed the diaper bag while Eli took Ember in his arms. I gave him a bottle and he said thanks, and then I grabbed another bottle and grabbed Xavier. I smiled when I looked around. We all had one child, trying our hardest to calm them down, and they all looked like they actually cared. I made eye contact with Mandie and we looked at each other like we were thinking the same thing. And we smiled at each other before the kids finally calmed down, and we decided to go get some lunch in the lunch room.
