Jamie and Mark were both awakened by a soft gurgling noise. Baby Kerry was swinging her fist madly around, tiny tears rolling down her flushed cheeks. Mark sat up straight and lifted the baby of the ground.

"I think she's hungry."

Mark looked at Oliver, whose foot was still resting on the baby bag. He bundled up one of the bags and signalled Jamie to lift Oliver's foot. The worked together quickly so they wouldn't disturb the sleeping man. Kerry Sarah started crying again.

"Can someone please make her be quiet?"

Alexandra rubbed her eyes and sat up, flinching several times with pain. She rubbed her said gently.

"What's wrong with her? Where are Kaylea and Kami?"

Jamie motioned towards two dots on the horizon. Alexandra looked at her friends with a sour face. How could they leave the baby behind? They both knew that babies and Alexandra didn't go together.

"I think she's hungry, I'll try feeding her some of the baby food."

Mark opened a jar, while still holding the baby. It seemed to be more difficult then first thought. Alexandra sighed and stretched her hand out to Mark.
"Give me the jar, I'll open it."

Mark handed her the jar and rocked Kerry Sarah gently to make her stop crying. When Alexandra opened the jar she handed it back to Mark and dived in to the baby bag for a spoon. She came out with a baby fork instead.

"Right... Well, here ya go Mark. Feed the baby, make her stop crying."
