    “Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Just a second there Mister!” Joseph said, pointing at the man in front of him, “What do you mean you can't sell us this plane now?”

You had only gotten to the airport about five minutes ago, and already, things seemed to not be going your way. You hefted your bag over your shoulder, glancing up at Jotaro. He looked back at you, letting out a sigh. Kakyoin and Polnareff still weren't here yet, but you had no doubt that they would soon show up.

Right now though, it seemed like you were going to be staying in this town for another night or so. The man Joseph talked to the previous night was now refusing to sell the plane for some reason.

“You said last night you’d sell it, and even took my money!” Protested Joseph, now pointing with both hands at the man.

“I’ll return your money” the man said, brow furrowing, “You see, the baby’s sick. It’s a 102-degree fever.” He gestured.

A woman, covered from head to toe came from a nearby building. She was carrying a basket that held a tiny little baby.

A baby, huh…

“Well, How about that plane over there?” Asked Joseph, pointing to a nearby plane.

“That one’s broken.” Said the man. “The others won't be back any time soon…” You tuned out a bit as you saw Polnareff and Kakyoin approaching.

“What’s going on? Is it some sort of argument?” Asked Polnareff, looking over at where Joseph was still talking with the man.

“Yeah.” said Jotaro.

“They’re refusing to sell us the plane now.” you said, crossing your arms. “There’s a baby that’s sick, so they’re taking it to a doctor.”

“A baby?” Kakyoin asked, brow furrowing. He was staring intensely at the baby for some reason.

“The plane will be back tomorrow night.” said the man, now stepping away from Joseph, “I can sell it to you after that.”

“Tomorrow night?” Joseph asked angrily, grabbing the man by his collar, hefting him up, “Someone’s life is on the line for us, too!” he said, pointing his finger in the man's face, “We can't afford to spend two days idling around!”

“Then you’ll let that baby die?” Asked the man.

Joseph’s eyes widened, and he let out a groan, releasing the man, “Well…”

Suddenly, the woman that was holding the baby spoke up, “Um, How about this?” she asked, looking between everyone, “Let’s leave the baby with these people, who can visit the doctor on their way.”

“Eh?!” Joseph asked, shocked.

“You want us to take the baby?” you asked, incredulous. “But…!”

“The Cessna only carries five.” said the woman. “But there’s enough room for a baby.”

Kakyoin let out a sudden noise beside you, making you look over him, murmuring a quiet, “What’s wrong?”

“I… that baby just grinned…” He said, staring at the infant a little harder now.

“You sure, lady?” Asked the man, “You wanna leave the baby with these guys?”

“Hold it! That’s also a problem!” Joseph said, putting out a hand as if to stop the woman, “It’s dangerous for a baby to come with us.”

“I agree…” you muttered. You didn't really want to deal with a baby… especially not a sick one…

But after everything had been said, you still ended up taking the baby. Joseph relented after everything he had said. But it was more important that everyone got to egypt. Staying in this place for more than a day was out of the question.

Everyone ended up piling into the plane. Jotaro and Joseph in the front, and you in the back between Kakyoin and Polnareff. Somehow, you had gotten stuck with the job of holding the baby’s basket. How troublesome…

Although, for some reason, since you were sitting between Kakyoin and Polnareff, you were suddenly reminded of that night in the desert… your face went bright red at the memory.

Polnareff glanced over at you, brow raising, “what’s wrong, (Y/N)?”

“N-Nothing..”
