We're going to assume it's Wilbur until I say otherwise :)

----

   I awake to wailing in my ear and look over at the clock on my bedside table that read 8:00 a.m. Sighing, I pick up Rora and smile," Morning Princess, let's get you something to eat yeah?" I chuckle, bouncing her on my leg to stop her from crying.

  Phil had told me what to do at least for morning, so I heat up the milk the same as the night prior and feed it to her, then I decide to keep Aurora in her current clothes for now, just until I'm able to change her in items that fit.

 She look up at me when she finishes and giggles, flailing her legs a bit and I chuckle at the little one that I assisted in making. Grinning widely, I prop her up by my shoulder and get into my car before realizing I was short of a car seat.

 Groaning I look down at Rora and decide to walk to the store. Four miles with a one month old baby can't be too bad right? Right..?

  I pick her back up and step out of the car, making sure I had a sturdy grip on my daughter before starting to walk in the direction of the store. 

  About 1 mile in Aurora had fallen asleep in my arms and I was already tired enough. I wanted to rest along with her and switch positions but, sadly I don't believe she could hold my weight. So, I trot along towards the nearest bus stop so I didn't have to walk any further.

  When we reach it I step onto the bus and sit down. Women were awing at the child in my arms, either wondering where her mother was or if I was a single dad. To which I responded with a yes and that her mother wasn't in the picture. 

  Since we still had 10 minutes until we got to the store I started bouncing Rora on my leg, as she had awoken and was not pleased with the loud noises that surrounded her. That's when I noticed a kid, looking around the ages of 12 to 13, aiming a camera at me.

 I wave, assuming It was a fan and he jumps from his seat and walks towards me," Hi! I'm a big fan- what's that?" He asks, pointing to Aurora on my thigh.

 Chuckling, I respond," Oh I'm just babysitting for a close friend, do you want a photograph?" I ask.

 The boy nods and runs off just in time for the bus to stop at the shops. Picking up my daughter I flee out of the bus and walk into the store, scanning the isles, for the first time in my life, to find the baby section.

 Once I find it, I realize I'm currently swamped in a sea of moms, moms to be and wailing children. I sigh and prop Rora on my thigh and start looking for what I need. Not in time, however, to remember who had a side job here.

  "BIG MAN!" A young adult voice yells from across the isle. I grit my teeth at his drawing more attention to me than there already was and look over to him.

 "Hello, Tommy, I forgot you worked here," I smile and wave, walking up to him and quickly putting the formula in my cart."

  "Yep! Tommyinnit works two jobs, for the ladies- Will why are you holding a child?" He questions, looking at Rora in my arms. 

  I chuckle, " About her- Tommy, do you remember my ex?" I ask.

" Yep! She absolutely despised me, thought I was an atrocious excuse for a," he air quotes," Teenager."

  " Yes, her Tommy," I nod," Well I found out last night that when she left, she left with our bundle of joy that she wasn't keen on keeping. So, now I'm a dad." 

  He nods in response," I'm assuming you named her Tommya, after me right?" 

 I slowly shake my head," Sorry about that man but, no, this is Aurora, Rora for short."

  Suddenly, a loud booming voice shouts from behind Tommy," Simons! What're you doing mate? Get back to mopping! Isle 11 had a spill."

  Tommy tenses up, waving me a goodbye before dashing off to clean and I head over to the register to check out and take a bus back to the house.

  Once I arrive I use a half an hour to try and assemble the car seat and crib before I got it correct. Following that, I gave Rora her, now most valued toy, stuffed Elephant we named Lalo and sped off towards Phil's.
