**Carina's POV**

I finish up with my paperwork and get going.

*1234567*
I arrive home and open the door to the sweetest scene I have ever seen, Andrea asleep on the couch and Maya sitting on the floor watching cartoons at a low volume.

"Hey guys,"

Andrea stirs and sees me and Maya

"Thanks for not waking me up kid"

"Welcome" is garbled around the pacifier (Though is songs more like "eldone")

Andrew gets up and I go over to the door with him

"Questions?"

"Nah, this is one thing i'm ok not knowing what is. Just let me know if you need me to babysit"

"Ok, get home safe"

"I will, see ya"

I go over to the couch and pick Maya up to set her on my lap, she pouts while watching the show.

"What's wrong bambina?"

She shrugs while nuzzling her face into my chest.

I pull her a little closer to me

"Just kinda tired and upset?"

She nods against me as I remember she has her pacifier in her mouth.

"That's ok, sometimes you just feel like that."

She pulls her head off of my chest and lets her pacifier fall out of her mouth

"don like it"

"I know,"

She grabs her pacifier and pops it back into her mouth and puts her head on my shoulder.
"Want me to read you?"

She nods

I get the closest thing to a kids book I can find. It's called "Evil Thing" it's a story about that Cruella De Vil lady, I don't even know where it came from.

I start reading and get through a few pages when I hear a little voice say

"Mama, s' waining!"

I look out the window, and surely enough it's raining. I'm not surprised, it's Seattle, it's a given that it's rainy sometimes.

"Yes, it's raining" I confirm

She gets up and skips over to the window, opening it and letting all the rain and wind in.

"Why is the window open?" I say loudly over the wind.

"Wain's nice"

I go over to the window and stick my head out. It is nice,

"It is nice, but it's also cold. We have to close it soon"

But for now, we stay here sticking our heads out the window in a storm. After like five minutes Maya gets called in.

Once she leaves, I'm sticking my head out the window for like an hour.

After I take an hour to soak my head, I heat up some old pasta for myself and catch up on work.

After I catch up on work I watch 2 Harry Potter movies before Maya comes home.

"I just had a perfect call! Perfectly contained, the family had a plan, they got the grandparents out, toddlers, baby, dog, cat, and FISH out of the house within 2 minutes at the first sign of smoke! I'm not even that organized!"

"Tell me all about it"

"Okay so as I heard it from the neighbors, the grandmother came out with two toddlers and the cat in a crate. Then the grandfather came out holding the fish in a bowl, and a leash with the dog on it. Then the parents came out with the baby, and some blankets. This all happened within 2 minutes as well! After that we quickly...
