Claire woke up with something much heavier than Daisy on her stomach. A blonde brown-eyed chubby-cheeked toddler had climbed on top of her and was looking at her expectantly. Eighteen. 

"What is it, Eighteen?" she asked as she moved him off of her and sat up. 

"Hungwy." 

She checked the time on her phone and saw that it was only 8 AM with a groan. She had barely gotten five and a half hours of sleep. Wasn't he sleeping downstairs? How did he end up finding her to ask for food? 

Bleary-eyed, she picked him up and walked downstairs in her pajamas to see what Alex was doing if it wasn't keeping an eye on the baby. She found him in the middle of a game of Yahtzee with everyone else but Seventeen, who was watching a children's show completely enraptured. 

"Uh…what are you guys doing?" Claire asked. 

"Alex is teaching us Yahtzee," Fourteen replied. "He has a name now. I wanted one too but he said I should wait for you to wake up."
