day 477

i wake up to see evelyn pacing around the room with a worried look on her face. i turn to see marcus laying down on the bed staring at evelyn. i tap him on the shoulder and sign, "what's going on?" "regan ran away," he replied. "oh no, she didn't leave for her plan did she?" i asked. "that's the only reason i can think of why she would leave," he answered. "emmett you need to find her," evelyn told emmett sternly. they go back and forth arguing whether or not emmett should go look for regan. after a few minutes of their bickering, i hear emmett sigh and pack up his bag. i assume that he's going to go look for regan and i sit back in relief. evelyn picks up the baby and rocks it back and forth. emmett finishes his packing and climbs up the ladder and out of the hatch.

about five hours later, i'm holding the baby while evelyn is pacing around the room. marcus is taking a nap and getting his rest. evelyn walks around, unsettled and in her thoughts. i look down at the baby and watch it fall asleep. i tap marcus' arm hoping to wake him up, but it doesn't work. i carefully stand up from my seat, trying not to wake the baby up. i use my free hand to shake marcus and wake him up. after a few seconds he sits up awake with a tired expression. "why did you wake me up," he whispered annoyed. "i think your mom is worried. you should go talk to her," i reply. marcus stands himself up and off of the bed, and makes his way to evelyn. evelyn and marcus start whispering about something as i sit down with the baby. the baby is sound asleep finally, so i relax in my chair. i see marcus and evelyn look at the baby and i, and i begin to worry. after a couple minutes evelyn and marcus approach me with something to say.

"i'm going to get more supplies. the baby's oxygen tank is running low, and we need more medical supplies for marcus' foot. i'll go alone, you two stay back with the baby. if anything happens get inside of the tank," evelyn explained. "how long will it be?" i ask. "i'll be back in a few hours," evelyn answered. i turn to marcus and we exchange glances. i shrug and whisper, "please be careful evelyn."
she nods and starts to pack her bag. we can do this. it's only for a few hours. i have marcus.
if we just stay quiet nothing will happen, or so i hope.
