Author's Note: I'm really sorry for taking a while to update this, but school started back up again and so it's been harder to find time to write, but I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you guys thought. And hopefully my next chapter won't take as long to update.

    Ava sighed in relief when their new TA came to their rescue as she didn't even let them answer any of Dana's questions as she quickly lied for them claiming they were with her during Nolan's murder and making Dana walk off.

     She wasn't completely relieved though as she knew that Dana would be back as Dana never gave up that easily, but at least for now they were safe. Ava had to hold back a laugh when she heard Alison cuss as she was enjoying her victory over Dana and the small toddler in her arms that she had almost forgotten was even there just looked at Alison in shock.

      "Mama se sa a ba wow," The small girl screamed out making Ava laugh a little as she couldn't help it.  "I know Mal," Ava told the toddler, making the small girl look at Alison. "You sa a ba wow!" The small girl told Alison, making Alison laugh as Mal was really reminding her of her daughters.

      Before Alison could respond to the toddler Caitlin and Dylan just looked at Ava. "Did she call you mama? Since when did she start calling you that?" Caitlin asked Ava in shock making Ava roll her eyes.

        "This morning and why does it matter if she wants to call me that," Ava told her "friend" a bit in annoyance as she didn't get why Caitlin and Dylan kept seeing her as some heartless monster that didn't like kids.

          Caitlin just sighed as she realized she offended Ava again. She hadn't meant to, but it just shocked her to see Ava be totally fine with being called mama by her sister. "Ava I didn't mean it like that. I think it's cute, but it's just a little shocking," Caitlin told Ava hoping to ease the tension Ava just sighed as she looked at Caitlin.

           "It's fine lets just get back to class," Ava told the others and they all dropped it as they went back to their classes like nothing happened. "Mal sit down," Ava told the toddler as she was trying to pay attention to her class, but the young toddler was no longer content just sitting down as it had been a few hours and Ava was now on her last class of the day.

             "No mama!" The small girl screamed out as she continued to climb up on the empty chairs. "Mal! I'm not going to tell you again! Stop climbing on the chairs and sit down!" Ava told the toddler making everyone look at her as she was disrupting class, but she honestly didn't care. She didn't like that the toddler wasn't listening to her and that what she was doing was dangerous.

              The toddler just shook her head no as she stood up on one of the chairs, but she quickly lost her balance as she crashed to the floor and started screaming and crying immediately. Ava wasted no time as she picked up the sobbing toddler and then grabbed her bag getting up as she didn't feel like concentrating in class anymore and she just didn't care.

                "This is why I told you to stop, but you never want to listen to me. Come on let's go get you cleaned up, and then you are in time out," Ava told the toddler as she just left her class and made it back to her dorm. When she got back Carlos was just sitting on her bed watching TV.

                  He immediately shut the TV off when he saw his big sister as he had been watching an R rated movie that he technically wasn't supposed to be watching. "Oh hey Ava. Why are you back so soon don't you still have like another class or something," Carlos told his sister trying to distract her from seeing what he had been watching.

                    Ava just rolled her eyes as she quickly found some disinfectant and a bandaid as she put it on the toddler and then placed her in the crib. "I know you're hiding something and I will deal with that after I finish this," Ava told her brother as she looked at the toddler.

                     "Okay Mal you have two minutes in the crib because you are in time out. You got hurt because you wouldn't listen to me, so you get a time out," Ava told the toddler making the girl cry as she didn't want a time out.

                      "Mal it's not going to work on me now I will be back in two minutes and if you get out of your crib it will be longer," Ava told the toddler as she was sick of the toddler not listening to her on anything and she kept letting the toddler get away with it with no punishment.

                         The young girl just huffed as she sat down in her crib crossing her arms, but she did as she was told anyway not wanting to make Ava more upset at her. Ava just smiled a little as she saw it had worked, but she got stern again as she looked over at Carlos who was holding the remote behind his back.

                           "Alright give me the remote!" Ava told her brother, making him sigh as he hesitantly handed his big sister the remote.  Ava just turned on the TV and looked at the movie that Carlos had been watching. "Okay really?" Ava told her brother in annoyance as she turned the Tv back off and Carlos gave her a fake innocent smile.

                            "Okay in my defense I'm practically 15! And by then I'm old enough to drive a car, so why shouldn't I be able to watch this movie. Oh and before you give me that what if Mal saw speech the movie was supposed to end before you got home, but you left early for some reason! I think we should talk about that! You totally ditched class!" Carlos told his sister hoping to stop her from getting mad at him for watching something he wasn't supposed to.

                               "Okay you do not talk to me like that. I am older than you and I am in charge. You are still 14 and you have to be at least 17 or 18 to watch these movies, that's the rule and you know it. And Mal got herself hurt, so I had to leave to take care of her.  I'm paying for these classes, so it's not required and it's only affecting me if I choose to miss a few classes to take care of my siblings that are now under my care," Ava told her brother in a stern voice as she was mad that he thought he could just do what he wanted.

                                 Carlos just sighed as he knew Ava was right. "Okay fine! I'm sorry Ava you're right it's just that all of the cool kids in school have seen these movies and I want to be cool like them! Can I just finish the movie. Remember you're supposed to be the cool older sister," Carlos told his big sister making her roll her eyes as she looked at him.

                                  "Ha nice try, but I don't get to be the cool older sister because I'm in charge of both you and Mal now, so I have to do what any other parent would do. I don't care if you want to be like the "cool" kids and watch bad movies. I don't like you watching them and there is a two year old that lives here," Ava told her brother making him groan.

                                    "Mama!" The small girl screamed out from her crib as she wanted out and it felt like she had been in her crib forever. Ava just gasped as she had been so focused on lecturing Carlos she had forgotten about the toddler in time out.

                                      "I'm coming Mal!" Ava called out as she went and picked up the toddler placing her down and the toddler just looked at her. "You wie! Da towk fowebew!" The young two year old told her big sister, making Ava sigh as she was struggling with watching two kids while still being very young herself.

                                     "I know Mal I'm sorry. Your big brother distracted me. Come on let's go get some dinner now," Ava told the toddler as she picked her up. Mal just looked at Carlos as she pointed to him. "Ba boy!" The young toddler told Carlos, making him laugh as he picked her up from Ava deciding to play along with her as he would be leaving early in the morning to go back to Auradon for the week and wouldn't be seeing her for a whole week which was the longest he would have ever been away from her.

                                  "I'm a bad boy?" Carlos playfully asked his baby sister making her nod her head. "Yeah! You ma me sa in di mow fow wowew den oo miwiws!" The small girl told Carlos back, making him laugh as he tickled the pouting toddler making the girl start laughing.

                                   "Hehe! Sop id! Da tiwaws!" The small girl told Carlos while giggling, making him continue to tickle her. "Okay I'll stop if you forgive me and say that you love me," Carlos told the toddler who just continued to laugh. "Otay I fowgib you! An I wob you Cawos! Now no mow!" The young toddler told her brother, making him laugh as he placed Mal back down and the toddler ran over to Ava holding her hands up.

                                      "Mama upie!" The young girl told Ava, making Ava smile as she picked up the toddler. "Okay Mal now let's go get some dinner because I'm hungry and you must be too," Ava told both the toddler and Carlos who both nodded.

                                        "Yay foow!" The small girl screamed out making Ava and Carlos both laugh as they left the dorm to go to the student union and get some food. When they reached the student union she was immediately met with her new teacher who stopped her.

                                      "Oh Ava there you are. I wanted to tell you that I need you to meet me, Caitlin, and Dylan at my house before school tomorrow for a "studying lesson." It's pretty important that you come," Alison told Ava and Ava immediately knew what Alison was trying to say. Alison wanted to discuss more about what happened earlier when she had lied for them about where they were when Nolan died, but she was talking in code as there were people around.

                                         Carlos just looked at the two in confusion while the toddler was just distracted playing with her sippy cup and oblivious to everything. "Why do you need to have a study session? Aren't you smart and stuff. You had all a's in high school!" Carlos told his sister not understanding that they weren't really talking about having a study session.

                                           "Yeah that sounds good. I'll be there," Ava told Alison who smiled. "I don't get it! You don't need tutoring with a teacher!" Carlos told his sister still not getting it. Ava just sighed in frustration as she looked at Carlos.

                                           "Carlos this is different. Now come on they have food over here. Goodbye Mrs. Dilaurentis I'll see you tomorrow," Ava told both her brother and then her teacher as she dragged Carlos away and towards the food not wanting him to expose what was happening and she didn't even want him to know anything at all as she wanted to keep him from worrying about everything that was going on.
