The walls of the classroom are painted pink and blue, like a nursery. Drawings of cartoon characters hang from every wall, and colorful mobiles dangle from the ceiling. Several couples are already sitting at tables throughout the room. They look up curiously when Evan and Avery come in with their team of bodyguards.
The lights in the room dim, and a projector flickers to life. A doctor in a white coat explains the way a fetus develops in the uterus. She goes through each stage of development and explains the different effects it might have on the mother: morning sickness, exhaustion, weird cravings. Then she lists the most important nutrients and suggests different meals and supplements for expecting mothers.
Robert stands behind Evan, frantically scribbling notes. Avery turns to look at Evan, and she sees that he's staring at the projection with deep fascination. She's never seen him look so focused.
