A Baby

(Alana POV)

I was awoken at midnight yet again, the babies cries echoed through the room and I heard a tired groan beside me as Luisa woke up as well, but I offered to comfort him, knowing how difficult it could be for her to get up when she was in a deep sleep.

I cradled Miguel in my arms, hoping he would quiet down soon, I even gave him his pacifier but to no avail, then I heard Luisa behind me

"hmm, maybe it's a Luisa night tonight" she grumbled, she sounded super tired and I felt a little bad, but not enough to tell her to go back to bed, instead I placed him in her arms and almost fell asleep instantly on the bed, but not before I heard him quiet down, I guess it was a Luisa night after all.

I finally woke up and giggled at the sight that greeted me, Luisa had somehow squeezed her massive body into Miguels crib and had Miguel in her arms, they were both still snoring and I decided they probably needed the rest, instead I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth, then got in the shower and started scrubbing before hearing the door open, revealing a tired Luisa who started to use the bathroom.

"did you have a good sleep mi vida? you looked very comfortable" I giggled

she responded with a tired grumble and "my back and neck are sore"

"how did you even end up in the crib anyway?" 

"well whenever I tried to put him in his crib he would cry again, and if I tried to take him to our bed he would cry, so me going into his crib was the only solution" she explained like it made perfect sense, and I guess to her tired mind it probably did, so I didn't question it.

we picked up the now awake and thankfully not crying Miguel and headed down to breakfast, almost running into Mariano, who was holding little Maria. Maria was only a couple months younger than Miguel but much louder, which was unfortunate for Dolores, but Mariano did everything in his power to keep the baby quiet.

(Luisa POV)

when we got to the breakfast table somebody made the mistake of putting Maria and Miguel next to each other, when they were apart it was easy to regulate their volume, but together they made a racket so loud they had actually caused Dolores to faint one time.

they started off at a regular volume, but steadily grew louder and louder, but before it could get louder I grabbed Miguel and lifted him over my head all the way to between Mira and Alana, Maria, angry that she had lost her playmate, tried to climb over me to him, but I would gently pick her up and place her back down in her seat every time, it almost turned into a little game, she would try to cross me while I wasn't looking but get caught at the last second and get put back in her seat.

eventually we had to start eating and our fun stopped, I tried to eat quickly and get chores done as fast as possible, the fence had been fixed and I rerouted the river yesterday so that should just leave a border check, they had been going pretty smoothly lately so I don't expect any trouble.

I approached the split and I didn't see anything out of place, but something felt wrong, I stopped moving, slowing my breathing until I could hear everything around me, and I felt something approach me from behind.

I whipped around, fists raised, and heard a shriek of terror, my eyes widened with surprise, underneath my raised fists were two young kids from the village which was strange, kids were not allowed anywhere near the border, so I immediately questioned the two boys

"what are you two doing out here? you aren't allowed out here for a reason you know, it dangerous!"

"we- um, -we weren't trying- we just-, we're sorry" they did look really sorry, and I couldn't be mad at them, staying in the village all day must be a little boring, I let out a sigh
