"Well... it cried, a lot" she replied. She's not alone on this one since she's also heard the same complain from other students but like she said it was a learning curve "after a week or so i managed to make it work for the both of us." chuckling softly. The crying was eventually manageable and sometimes it barely happens which was something she's very proud of.

Finneas nodded. Babies cried. It was a fact of life. He smiled at what she said next though, yes yes very good. The noodly man took some notes before looking back up. "That's, er, very well, Ms. Jillian. I look forward to seeing the progress you have made by the final check in." In other words? He got all that he needed and she was free to leave! He gave her a salute.

SPOILER!!: Claudine & Cole

Like when Cole had to study for OWLs, I’d take over. But otherwise, we took care of him together.’’ That was just one way in which they made things work. Cole could elaborate further.

Anyways they we're asked how their partnership was going between them. Cole opened his mouth to answer, but Claudine beat him to it. Why was she just looking at Professor Schmoe and not sparing him even a glance? Weird. He did though chime in when he could. "I feel the same professor. We worked really well together. We could complement each other and give each other tips and help which i think most parents do in real life too." Heated argument aside. "Us not being in the same year was good because we could make the schedule work easier when we didn't have classes at the same time." Looking down at Christopher for a moment he smiled before looking up at Schmoe again. "We take care of our baby with affection and interest it's not just an assignment for us. Christopher matters." But Cole was going to be super glad when the assignment was over. He needed his sleep and alone time.

Finneas was all beamy. Of course he was entirely oblivious to any problems which were not mentioned, but as far as he was aware? They were doing an excellent job. "I'm errrr glad to hear that." Very glad. Could they tell? Because he was beaming. AnYwAy. "Anyway, anyway, anyway," he continued. "I can see you're both making greeeeat progress. Feel free to stock up on more supplies, but aside from that you're errr good to go." Finneas was proud.

SPOILER!!: Isla (Blake mentions too)

She kind of figured she'd looked on it so poorly for so long that she had made herself more miserable with it than she should have. She looked over at Blake, wondering what he was thinking about it.

"You're right, Professor, and thank you for the encouragement. I'm going to spend the last bit of time I have with Ellie trying to look at things with a different perspective," she said. On the bright side, they'd kept the baby alive, and there had been those few winning moments that had made her proud. Plus, she'd gotten to know Blake better, and he had been a great partner. "Why don't we take Ellie on a little family outing?" she asked her partner. She began gathering up all the baby supplies they'd come in with. Going to and from places was a lot more involved with a baby in tow. That much she'd learned for sure.

Finneas gave he pair a big ol' thumbs up and a knowing smile before walking away.

SPOILER!!: Cece

It was ALSO nice knowing that she had a babysitter right down in the greenhouses if it all got to be too much, a service she hadn't taken advantage of JUST yet, but was thankful for all the same. Now she was just hoping for some positive feedback from Professor Schmoe, whose feedback was a little strange sometimes, but would hopefully clue her in on anything else she'd need to do to get herself AND baby Keeper through this assignment in one piece.

Spotting all the supplies, the second year smiled, adjusted Keeper in his makeshift carrier, and headed over to replenish her baby bag.

Finneas was fidget spinning, as one does, when Cecelia entered stage left. He waited for her to gather supplies, however, before making his way over sans spinner. Clipboard held to his chest, he made a few initial observations before giving her an uncomfortable sort of smile. "How are you and Keeper doing today?"

SPOILER!!: Stella

This lesson sure taught her alot of things, how to be more pateint and caring towards others, not that she wasn't before but she lacked on the patience part severely. Although she was glad for this lesson, despite her and Oceanus bickering at times about who was going to change him, it really brought them together closer as a couple and how it'll be when they really did have kids someday. [I]"I hope you don't mind, I brought his little ocean wave music box for when he gets fussy, it helps him sleep."[/b] she said softly turning it on as it softly played waves crashing.

Adjusting herself slightly and carefully not to wake Caspian she looked in the bag for his teddy bear before heading it to him. "Sorry Professor, I'm ready now my apologize. " Hey... as a 'mother' she had to make sure her 'baby' was ok while he slept, it was her duty to make sure he was comfortable and safe.

"Errrr not a problem, Ms. Starson. I'm doing very well." It was very interesting to see just how differently each student was handling the assignment. It was a great social experiment for Finneas, honestly. "So err... Ocean waves? How did you, errr, come up with this strategy?"

SPOILER!!: Cora & Shivvy

To any other professor, it probably wouldn't be convincing but she wasn't worried because it was Schmoe they were dealing with here.

As far as Cora was concerned, he had fallen for it.

"We couldn't have asked for a better kid, sir. Banana's doing great. Right, Shiv?"
She nudged her partner. Right, Shiv????

Shivvy had 100000% forgot about naming the baby Banana at this point (a lot had happened okay???) so she snorted but somehow managed to mask it with a cough. Smooth, Siobhán, very smooth. She was totally fine. And yes, Banana was a completely normal name. She was going to name her real life child Banana some day, mhm, totally.

"Banana is the best." Was it a he? Was it a she? Who knew? "Banana looooooves playing dress up too. Don't you?" She grinned at Schmoe then pretended to tickle the "baby"'s tummy through the toilet paper. Not too hard though. She was a bit worried it would just combust into ashes at some point.

........... As difficult as it was for Cora to keep a straight face, it was even MORE difficult for Finneas to keep smiling. He. Had. Questions. So. Many. Of. Them.

Namely, what happened to the original banana? Baby. What happened to the original banana baby? Baby Banana. THE BABY THAT THEY NAMED BANANA.

AnYwAy.

"I......... see," he looked down at the "baby" and then back up at the pair. "What exactly..... is Banana dressing up as today?" He scribbled some notes on his clipboard. This would not be going well for the pair, hopefully they understood that this was a GRADED assignment.


SPOILER!!: Phoebe & Bernadete

So, uh....what had been the most difficult so far? Bernie exchanged a glance with Phoebe to see what she would say, then offered, "Changing poopy nappies. I HATE them."

She smiled hugely at the professor and Other Momma at that question, because they had a running list of what was hard. Everything. Everything was SO HARD. "The nappies are bad," she agreed. "And he cries a lot. Like I can't wait for him to learn WORDS because it's so hard to figure out why he's upset, so we have to go through this list each time and it never seems to be the right things."

Finneas........... smiled.

Yes. Smiling he was smiling. "The fun is in the mystery, I suppose," though he didn't actually know because he didn't have his OWN baby. He just had nephews and nieces. Those were temporary. For him. Y'know? AnYwAy. "Thank you Ms. James and Ms. Grantham," he jotted a few more things down on his clipboard. "You two are free to go. I hope nappy changes become more, er, tolerable over time."
