Cade asked about all the kids just as Sky spoke to Marta. "Most of the kids, Nox saved from a monster's next. All of them except the smalest one there and the red head running around have a great deal of trauma from their past experiences. Nox understands them, took them in instead of sending them off into the system where no one will beleive them." Hayden answered as he moved around the counter and sat down next to Marta. "Being a pediatrian I'm sure you are aware of how bad trauma affects our little ones, so give me a second and let me take care of Marta. She's not a foster, but she's family."
He put his arm around Marta but rested it on the couch, she wasn't the touchy feely type like the other kids and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable but he was there for the physical support should she want it. Hayden ran his index finger down Lily's check and watched the small face she made at the gentle touch. "You don't look like you are in a panic, so tell me what's going on?"
