Naomi looked at the small child, who in the end she had named Jessica-Leigh, just about smiling up at her from the bouncy/rocky seat thing that she was laying in. There really was nothing that could compare to the amount of love she felt towards that baby, and leaving her every day to go to school killed her, but she had made a promise both to her parents and to herself that she would balance her education with motherhood and not drop out of school or rely on her mother to look after the baby. Her mother, on the other hand, had different ideas, and that's what Naomi hated. Every morning without fail her mother would creep into her room, take Jess from the crib and take her downstairs, get her a bottle and dress her, which, yes, was helpful, but Naomi couldn't help but feel that she was having the control taken out from underneath her. The same woman was stood over her now, holding Naomis bag in one hand and bus fare in the other, she looked to her and simly said "go, you'll see her tonight" and for once, too tired to argue, Naomi actually did what she was told.
Dexter grabbed his phone from the bedside table where it had been on charge and checked it. 2 new messages, both off some 'hub demon' he'd hooked up with last night wanting to make sure he was okay. If there was something more stupid for Dexter to do than go out when he had class the next day, it was giving a hub demon his number. He deleted the texts and added the number to his block list, walking downstairs and into kitchen, where he opened the fridge to find that his little brother had once again put their cat, Crookshanks, in there again. He took the cat out and gave it a fresh bowl of water, before grabbing a cadbury pot of joy, a spoon and his bag. The bus stop was literally just outside next doors house, and having a mortis lock door meant he could be out when and only when the bus arrived, which was bliss.
