    Summary

    Ants can lift up to fifty times their body weight. Carina had learned that when she was around four or five year old. She used to kneel on the ground near the old orange tree in her nonno’s field and just stare at them, sometimes for hours at a time.
    When Andrea died, oddly enough, Carina thought of the ants. He was heavy, when the paramedics lifted him up and into the ambulance. Humans aren’t able to carry as much as ants. Ironically, an average person can barely lift their own weight. Carina would have lifted his. She would’ve carried him on her back, she would’ve done it for hours, long after her legs cramped, long after the voices had quieted down. She would’ve carried him.
    ...
    Carina had, until today, thought she wouldn’t be able to carry more than her own body weight, plus Andrea’s. Until, that is, a roof fell on her wife, and she was met with the real possibility that she would have to carry hers, too.

    Summary

    It was still too early, not even 10 AM. Other than to say that it was going to be a fun day, what more was there to say?
    But oh boy, when she drove back to the station, Andy had no idea what was in store for her.

    (basically, the team breaks one of its most important rules- never accept food from strangers. And now Captain Andy Herrera must navigate her disaster firehouse daycare and make sure that her high firefighters don't get themselves killed. Or worse.)
