Author's Note: Hi! Should I continue to do the chapters in Cress's or Thorne's POV? Anyways, here it is!
Time Skip of Two Weeks
Cress's POV
They were finally home, after spending two weeks in the hospital. Cinder, Kai, Scarlet, Wolf, Jacin, and Winter had all come to see them when they were in the hospital. Everyone had thought the babies were cute.
Cress heard a cry from the babies' room.
"Not again!" she said, grabbing a bottle and going to the babies.
It was Julia crying. Again. Ellie almost never cried; while Julia was crying at least seven times an hour. Cress picked up Julia, and she stopped crying instantly.
"You're not hungry, are you?" murmured Cress. "You just wanted to be held."
Cress sat down in the rocking chair. Julia started to cry. Cress stood up again, and Julia stopped crying. Cress decided to try leaning against the wall, but Julia started crying again.
Cress sighed. Who knew being a mother was so hard? She looked at her portscreen. It was 12:00, almost lunchtime. Thorne would hopefully be home soon. While she was waiting, she decided to check on Ellie.
Cress peered in the doorway. Ellie was sound asleep in her crib. But behind her crib, Cress noticed a large cardboard box. It read: Teach Your Children How to Fly a Spaceship in 50 Easy Steps. Now what was that about?
