Ada noticed something was up with Maddison and pulled her aside to a quiet spot, where she handed her a pacifier. Maddison accepted it, but before taking her back, Ada asked, "Is everything okay, dear? Do you know Miss Fontaine?" Maddison looked thoughtful and said, "No... well, I'm not sure. I'm nervous." Ada hugged her and said, "Oh, you poor thing. Anxiety is normal. Miss Fontaine is amazing; she works on potty training and even got a letter of recommendation from Professor Jonathan." When Maddison heard that name, she immediately hugged Ada tightly and sucked vigorously on her pacifier. Ada said, "Calm down, dear—let me guess: he's your counselor too?" Maddison said, "Yes, and..." Ada cut her off: "Don't be afraid. If anything leaks out from here, she's in big trouble; she signed a confidentiality agreement." Ada saw the little girl calm down and said, "Go back to Emilly. I'm going to take Fontaine to show her Alice's room. Soon it'll be time to help the Tadpoles—you want to help, don't you?" Maddison nodded and walked away.
Stephanie noticed Maddison and thought she was adorable with her padded bottom and thumb-sucking habit; she wanted a moment alone with her to figure out how to help. She saw Ada and Maddison returning—Maddison was using a pacifier this time—and stopped to play with another girl on the way to the Tadpoles' room. She asked, "Does Maddison have emotional issues or a thumb-sucking habit?" Ada replied, "A bit. She's learning to open up after being bullied, and Maddison's mother said that whenever she sucks her thumb, we should give her the pacifier instead." Stephanie turned to look at Maddison and said, "I want to help her."
You mean for basic internet questions not related to diapers, on a predominantly diapers forum? Yeah, I would expect others to look it up elsewhere. You don't?
As soon as Ada was in the room she called all the children to attention, "Okay class I want you all to say hello to miss Stephanie Fontaine she'll be a new teacher and caregiver here so I want you all to be on your best behavior and give your biggest hellos."
Stephanie walked in and introduced herself to the class, all the kids said hello, Madison meanwhile even though she said hello with the energy of a little girl like all the other kids there was something about the new hire that looked familiar, but she couldn't place her finger on it, Madison wondered if Ada had talked about her and Alice?
She couldn't help it but still have a small bit of anxiety big bubble up in her, Madison knew it her being here wasn't exactly appropriate as she herself wasn't an actual child neither was Alice heck Alice was older than her then her mind turned to her biological parents finding out and nothing couldn't help but nervously start to suck her thumb which Ada saw.
