That question was on my mind for the entire night.

Did I want a baby? A little person? A child? Something to nurture, and to call me mom? I didn't have an answer until that morning, and I decided to tell Gwizdo. I of course, never really had a way of speaking.

"Gwizy?" I asked, eating my breakfast slowly. He grunted telling me that he was listening, because he was eating, and I looked up at him. "I think, um, I want a kid." I said thoughtfully, unfortunately it startled Gwizdo so much that he spit out his water in a spray.

"A kid?" He asked, wondering if he heard me right and I nodded. "Yeah, a child, one of my own." I said, smiling my sweet little smirk at him. He always loved that smirk.

"Well, I, uh. Sure, I mean, as long as yer ready. Yer gonna be havin' it, anyway." He said stutteringly, and I laughed a bit. "Actually, I was thinkin' 'bout adopting." I said, and he grinned.

"Dat's wonderful! I mean, I was an orphan to ya know." He said excitedly, I nodded. "Lets get ta work." I said jumping up, he looked at me a bit puzzled. "We have ta get a baby room together." I explained, it suddenly clicked in his head and he jumped up too.

We got to work instantly. We sawed, we hammered, and we got our hands worn raw until they were at least a bit bloody. In the end we came up with a good little kid/baby room, since all we knew is that we wanted a boy but the age was a little iffy. We had a good night's sleep and in the morning I woke up early and ran to Rain and Lian-chu's house.

When I got there I ran past the sheep in front for their early morning graze and rapped on the door. It was soon opened by Rain, and she looked at me shockingly. "What's the matter, Nyla?" She asked, looking me over to see if I was hurt or any sign of why I had been running over here like the Devil was at my feet. I tried to catch my breath, and when I did I grinned over at the puzzled woman.

"Me, an' Gwizdo. Are goin' ta adopt a boy!" I said excitedly, and she smiled over at me. "That's brilliant! What age? Where are you going to adopt? Do you have everything ready yet?" She asked question after question, and I answered them truthfully.

We didn't know what age, we were going to adopt at the same orphanage that Gwizdo was raised in and we made a whole room yesterday. She started getting out crocheting supplies and started to make a small dark blue hat.

We started to think of names for Rain's baby, for we didn't know if it was going to be a girl or a boy.

Eventually it got dark, and I made the long walk back to me and Gwizdo's house. It got dark quickly and when I reached the house I found that Gwizdo had been looking for me

"Gwizy! I'm over here!" I shouted up the small hill that he was searching, he turned around and started jogging over to me. "Nyla! Ya scared me, ya know." He said smirking, and I chuckled sheepishly.

"Sorry, I was jus' tellin' Rain 'bout us gettin' a lil' boy." I said, he nodded. "We'll leave in da mornin', get all packed. It'll be 'bout two days 'til we actually get dere." He explained, I nodded excitedly and ran into the house. I heard the distant laughter of Gwizdo at me, but I ignored him and packed my messenger bag.

Then, I forced myself to sleep so I could be all excited tomorrow without yawning.

The next morning we were soon flying in The Saint George the 2nd. The original Saint George had crashed on one of our hunts, but I helped Gwizdo make The Saint George the 2nd. I watched the clouds as we passed them towards the orphanage, but it soon got dark and we had to stop at an inn.

We slept quickly and got up swiftly the next morning, right as the sun got up. We continued our journey until we reached the small building, and we landed. Everything seemed to slow down but only for me, I saw all these children running around, and I noticed that most of them in groups. Gwizdo went to fill out some things saying that we were to adopt a boy and so and so.

While I went around, and I watched the children to see their habits. I found that most were running around and playing tag or something, but one boy caught my eye.

He was sitting a little high up in a tree, and drawing. I could tell it was drawing because writing would be short and quick, while he was doing drawled out long scrawls. He had dark black hair and intent looking bright grey eyes. I went over to him, then I climbed up the tree to where he was, and he glanced over at me interestedly.

"What cha doin'?" I asked friendlily, he smiled. "Drawing." He answered shortly, I looked over at his little book that he was drawing in. "What are ya drawin'?" I asked, scooting over to him. He showed me his drawing, it was a Lamotrek Rampant, and I smiled.

"Ya like dragons?" I asked, and he nodded quickly and instantly. "What's yer name?" I asked sweetly. "Will." He replied simply, I nodded. "Well, Will, guess what." I said, with a smirk on my face. He grinned. "What?" He asked, so curious. "I'm a dragon huntress." I said proudly, his eyes widened. "Really?" He asked, and a bit skeptically.

I nodded. "Yep. My husband's a hunter too." I said, he looked at me with admiration. "Are you here to adopt someone?" He asked, I nodded. He looked down in thought. "I'm thirteen. They all tell me that no one's ever gotten adopted when they turn thirteen." He said sadly, I pitied him though it was true what he said.

"Will, would you like ta come home wit' me an' my husband?" I asked softly, his eyes lit up like Christmas tree lights. "Oh, yes! Yes, I would!" He said excitedly, I grinned. But then his eyes faded again. "But, what about my sister?" He said, somewhat to himself.

My eyes widened. "Sister? Well, we only have one room." I said in thought, he looked up with sadness, my eyes brightened. "But I'm sure we can fix dat." I said, and his eyes lit up again.

After that we got down from the tree and I introduced Will to Gwizdo, Gwizdo instantly clicked with the small boy. Then we found Will's sister, Bella. She had the same grey eyes but she had dark brown hair, and she was seven years old. It took a little talking, but not much to get Gwizdo on board with the idea of adopting both Will and Bella.

And we flew off in The Saint George the 2nd. By the end of the day Bella was asleep next to Will, while I powered the flying machine. We stopped at the inn that we had stopped at while going there, I carried Bella while Gwizdo carried Will.

We slept and then next morning we woke the children and we flew off again. Will wanted to power The Saint George the 2nd, so I let him while me and Bella looked at the floating islands we were passing.

Then we came to our house, it was sunset. We landed in front of it and we carried our sleepy children into their room. There was only one bed but we quickly got a hammock, and Will was happy with it.

They quickly fell asleep and so did me and Gwizdo.
