In Evie and Mal's Dorm

Evie was organizing and sorting through all the baby supplies while Mal peacefully slept in the purple playpen wrapped in her purple and dragon blanket. It had been a few hours since they had gotten back from the baby store and the boys had gone back to their own dorms after helping bring all the supplies into her dorm.

Mal was now sleeping with a new purple pacifier in her mouth and was wearing a new purple onesie pajama that Evie had put her in after she had gotten back and fed, bathed, and changed her.

Mal was sleeping in the playpen as Evie didn't have time to build the actual crib yet as it was harder to build those than it was to just set up a playpen. She would need the boy's help for building the crib and it was already late at night.

As she finished organizing the clothes which was the last thing she needed to organize she began to walk towards her own bed which was right next to Mal's playpen. She smiled at the baby as she ran her fingers through the baby's hair and kissed her on the forehead before she got into her own bed to sleep, but before she did that she grabbed a night light that she had bought and plugged it in so that Mal wouldn't wake up scared from the dark.

Evie was woken up early the next morning by crying and a loud knock on her door. She sighed in annoyance and anger from the knocking that had woken her baby as she got out of bed to open the door wondering who would be at her dorm so early in the morning? She knew it wasn't Carlos or Jay as they knew it was best to just let Evie tell them when to come over especially in the morning. It couldn't be Ben either as Evie had told him yesterday before he left not to come in the mornings as she didn't want people waking up Mal with their loud knocks.

She was surprised when she saw Lonnie and Jane both at her door. She looked at the two girls with confusion wondering what they were doing at her dorm. The girls noticed her confusion as Lonnie began to speak to her.

"Um Evie we came to check on you guys since you missed dinner last night and breakfast this morning. Are you guys okay? Also it looks like you aren't planning on going to school today," Lonnie told the girl with concern.

She noticed how tired and stressed out Evie looked and for some reason she could hear crying from inside the room. It sounded like a baby, but Lonnie couldn't get a look at the inside of the girl's dorm as Evie had purposely only opened the door a little bit as she didn't want the girls to disturb her baby more.

"Is that a baby?" Jane asked Evie as she had also heard the crying. It sounded exactly like a baby, but as far as she was concerned there were no babies in the school.

Evie just sighed as she didn't feel like explaining to them what happened or answering their questions at the moment. She also began to worry as she had completely forgotten about school. How could she forget about school?

What was she going to do with Mal when she had to go to school? She was interrupted by her thoughts when she realized that the girls were looking at her with even more concerned faces as she had just been staring at the two girls with a blank expression on her face.

Evie immediately snapped out of it as she put on a fake smile and answered the girls. "Oh um yeah we're fine. It's just that Mal wasn't feeling the best last night, so we missed dinner and I figured we would just miss today. Also the baby crying sound is just the tv we were watching a movie and there's a baby in it," she lied as she didn't want to tell them the truth at the moment. She was hoping that this would ease Lonnie and Jane's worries and they would leave so she could tend to her crying baby.

This only seemed to worry them more. "Is she okay can we see her?" Lonnie asked in concern as she tried to get passed Evie who was guarding the door and standing so that no one could see the inside of her dorm.

The crying from earlier got louder and Evie began to lose her grip on the door revealing a bit of the inside of her dorm as she listened in sadness as her baby continued to cry.

She wanted to pick her up and comfort her, but she had to get rid of Lonnie and Jane first as she didn't feel like entertaining the two girls and just wanted a normal relaxing day with just her and Mal where they didn't leave the dorm and no one came into the room. Yesterday had been a very stressful and emotional day for her.

The two girls were shocked when Evie had lost her grip on the door for a few seconds as they had been able to see a little bit of the inside before Evie closed the gap again. They noticed that Evie and Mal's dorm was filled with baby things. They were about to question her again when the crying had reached an all time high and Evie could no longer resist the crying anymore.

Evie released her grip on the door letting it fly open and forgetting about the two girls on the other side of the door as she ran to pick up her screaming daughter. "Shh Mallory it's okay mommys here," she told her daughter in her gentle calm voice as she grabbed Mal from the playpen and began to rock her as she walked over to where she had put the diapers and clothes, so that she could change her. She was also looking for a purple bottle and the formula, so she could feed her as she realised that Mal was probably hungry.

She froze when she heard the sounds of gasps as she turned and saw Lonnie and Jane both staring at her in shock as they had witnessed everything. The two girls had been completely shocked when Evie had left the door open and they saw how different Evie and Mal's dorm had looked. Mal's side of the room was now full of purple and dragon baby things and it looked more like a nursery, but what really shocked them was the purple baby playpen next to Evie's bed and watching as Evie had picked up a crying blue haired baby.

"What are you two doing in my dorm and how much did you see?" Evie asked them in a mixture of confusion, anger, and worry as she stopped searching for an outfit and baby formula as she just held a purple bottle and she looked at the two girls who had "broken" into her dorm. She was confused about how they had gotten in her dorm, but then she remembered how she left the door open. She was also angry about how the two of them completely disregarded her privacy as they had just barged into her room without asking or being invited in. She was also nervous that they had seen her call Mal her daughter. She was afraid that they would react like Doug and be disgusted by her being a teen mom.

Jane and Lonnie just stared at her in shock as they didn't know what to say as they were trying to process everything. Evie had called the baby Mallory which was very similar to the name Mal and they also noticed how Mal didn't seem to be in the room and all her things were replaced by baby items. Evie had also called herself the baby's mom. Was it possible that the baby was really Mal and Evie was actually her mom?

Evie looked at the girls slightly offended that they hadn't answered her. She was about to question them again when Mal began to cry again as she reached for the empty purple bottle that Evie had in her hand. Evie gasped as she had been completely distracted by the two girls that she forgot about changing and feeding her baby. She found the formula and began to put it in the empty bottle and shake it. Then she held the bottle up as she placed it in Mal's mouth and began to feed her. Evie still had to hold the bottle as Mal wasn't able to hold it on her own yet.

As she bottle fed Mal she also began to search for a new baby outfit and diaper again. It was a lot harder than she thought it would be to pick out an outfit as every time she grabbed one of the outfits that she had picked out Mal would push the bottle out of her mouth as she would cry and push the outfit away with her tiny hands. Evie sighed as she knew exactly what Mal wanted to wear. She wanted to wear something that was either purple or had a dragon on it. Evie rolled her eyes with a smile as she sighed in defeat picking up a blue onesie with a purple dragon on it and laughing a bit when Mal stopped drinking to reach for it.

"Oh Mal what am I going to do with you?" she said with a smile as she watched her daughter get excited over a purple dragon onesie. She waited a few more minutes as Mal finished drinking the bottle. When Mal was done she picked up the diaper and onesie as she went to the bathroom with Mal so that she could change her and get her dressed.

She came back after changing her daughter and getting her ready for the day in the blue onesie with a purple dragon on it. She noticed that Lonnie and Jane hadn't left her dorm. She just ignored the shocked look that they were giving her as she placed Mal into the purple playpen and placed her pacifier with the dragon attached to it in her mouth as she also grabbed Mal's purple dragon stuffed animal and placed it in the playpen as well.

She made sure that Mal was happy and content with her toys. She smiled in happiness when she watched Mal pick up the purple dragon and giggle as she played with it. Evie then looked over with a stern look at the two girls who were still just staring at her in shock and had still yet to say anything as they had watched her tend to her baby.
