" Derek… that's it. This has got to be the first time a baby has just been left at the Azur Lane base. No parents, no family not even a single person at the dockyard knew where he might of came from. Odd isn't it. But what should we do about it"
" your guess is as good as mine. We can't just leave him out here, but given that there's no orphanages unless we want to make a 3000 mile treck for one child to go to the mainland. I say we just keep him. I mean having someone everyone can care for and someone who makes the base iconic could be helpful in the long run."
The shorter woman proposed her idea though the other woman looked incredulous at the thought of that. The younger and shorter woman was taller than average and looked to be in her late teens. She had a strawberry blonde hair, had a grey skirt, blue long sleeved shirt and a pancho over that. The woman she was talking was a very tall woman with white long hair. She wore a captains hat, a long sleeved black admirals coat with golden lining. She wore a simple white skirt and white long sleeved shirt.
" you do realize this is a facility for Kansen. Not a child's play ground."
" yes I'm well aware Enty, I thought the grey ghost could handle anything though. But if I'm being serious, I would gladly take care of him. I'm sure Columbus, Monteplier and Denver wouldn't mind helping. Either way if worse comes to worse we just make the trip. Who knows, maybe it would be nice to have a brother for all of us."
" While I don't agree with this, I'm not going to be able to tell you know. I just hope you know Cleveland, you and your sisters will have to take care of him and properly as well."
" Yes!!!"
The girl jumped up in the air, a smile on her face. However just as much as she was happy she had a nagging in the back of her mind the next four years where going to be tough.

Cleveland held the baby on her way back to small flat her and her sisters lived in. She was holding the child in her arms looking down at the face of the boy. She continued to look and realized one very important thing she didn't quite think of ' huh, im gonna either have a brother or a deep guilt in my chest. More importantly I don't think there is any way for me to get baby stuff' '.
She finally got back to the flat before walking in and setting up a makeshift crib. She than layed down the sleeping child in the crib. It was at this moment the child, Derek opened his eyes. A small smile crept up his face before a small giggle was let out. The child than yawned before trying to signal he wanted out. It however took some time for her to realize this as she never has dealt with a child or really seen a human child finally picked him up and held him. She began to swaddle and cradle him, however after doing this for about 41/2 hours. Finally the baby nuzzled into her neck and fell asleep.

" Cleveeeee, big sis!!!!!!! Do I have to stay. Why do you and the other have to go on missions all time."
Cleveland placed her hand andruffled the blonde hair of the young boy. She knelt down and looked eye to eye with him. She than gave him a hug. " aww cmon Derek, you elbow why we have to do this. We'll be back in a little under a day. If you behave good I'll get you some of Columbus's gum". The young boy than held out his fist in a fist bump. The two fist bumped before going to read some of the books he has been given. Namely it was a big colored book, detailing the ships of ww1 and the commander and crew. Finally he heard his sister call out that she was leaving and heard the door close. He read for a bit long before eating a falling asleep on the table
