The Nurturers like my father, who felt they had some how. But it happened very rarely.

"Well" father said "I'm going to keep trying. I may ask the committee for permission to bring him here at night, if you don't mind. You know what the night crew nurturers are like. I think this guy needs something extra"

"Of Course" mother said and I nodded

They had heard father complain about the night crew before. It was a lesser job, night crew nurturing, assigned to those who lacked the interest or skills or insight for the more vital jobs of the daytime hours.

Most of the people on the night crew had not even been given spouses because they lacked, somehow the essential capacity to connect to others, which was required for the creation of a family unit.

"Maybe we could even keep him" I suggested, trying to look innocent. The look was fake, they all knew but didn't bring it up.

"Lily" mother smiling

Two children- one male, one female to each family. It was written very clearly in the rules.

"Well since Noah..." hesitating for a moment
"I thought it be okay, wouldn't it?" Putting on a fake smile

Even though they knew it was fake they ignored it
