Heath smiled, nodding in reply to Professor Eris. Ianto was a nice name. He had just enough time to get baby Leia and himself settled before the lesson began. He rummaged through his school bag for his book, quill, and parchment, and - Oops, he'd accidentally grabbed Leia's baby bag by mistake! If that wasn't a sign that he needed sleep, he didn't know what was!

Once he'd fished his supplies out of the correct bag, Heath draped his school bag over the back of his chair and set the baby bag on the floor under his desk. He tried to pay attention to the lesson, but his eyes kept flicking toward Leia every few seconds to make sure she was still okay and sleeping. Wait, what was the question again? Oh, right… name something a baby needs. Well, that should be easy after spending so much time taking care of Leia.

Heath thought for a minute. The first things that came to mind were clothes, nappies, and baby food… but all of those had already been said and didn't need repeating. Did baby bottles and formula fall under the category of baby food? Probably. So what else could he say? Heath stared at the floor, lost in thought, and saw a stuffed toy had fallen out of Leia's bag. As he picked it up, an idea occurred to him, and the hand that wasn't holding the plush went up. "You'd need something to entertain the baby, like toys or a mobile," he said after being called on. "Toys that make noise or have bright colors are good for newborns." Which reminded him…

Oh, no! He forgot to give Leia her ewok toy before he put her down, and she wouldn't sleep without it. His eyes darted apprehensively toward the baby wrapped in the Star Wars blanket. It was only a matter of time before she wanted her ewok. Was he allowed to get up and give it to her, or should he wait until she cried for it and hope she didn't wake all the other babies?
