Please..

She likes Him

My eyes are wide with shock.

Killian looks at me with confusion. "What is it?" He asks. "She...she didn't cry." I say, still shocked. "What do you mean?" He asks. "Every time a-anyone besides me holds her, s-she sobs nonstop." I explain. He looks down to Ashyr.

Then he looks back to me and smiles. "I'm glad she approves of me." He says. I feel my face get hot at the comment. He smiles even more at my reaction. We begin walking again. After a few minutes we get to a big room with lots of seats and a long metal thing running along the area behind the seats.

I follow Killian to the metal thing, and we are greeted be an Unlabeled older woman. "What an adorable couple you two are!" She says happily. "And who is this?" She asks. referring to Ashyr. "Her name is Ashyr." Killian says. "Oh, how beautiful." She says looking at Ashyr for a moment longer before looking back to us.

"Anyway, what can I get you three?" She asks. "Umm..I'll get the pancake breakfast plate, with a coffee." Killian replies. He turns to me. "U-um..the small version of that please. And a cup of warm milk." I say. She nods. 

We stand there for a few minutes before there is a hand on my shoulder. I jump and scurry away. "Sorry Ever..I forgot." Kelli says. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I see Killian's saddened expression in the corner of my eye.

"Alright! Here you go!" The older lady says as she slides our food onto the counter in front of us. I turn and thank the lady as I grab the trey and milk. Killian grabs his, balancing everything somehow.

I follow Killian to a table and sit down. I take Ashyr from him so I can feed her. I cradle her as I put the warm milk to her mouth. "Isn't she old enough to eat table food?" He asks. I nod. "She can't right now. Even though she was only with us for a few days, the people that gave birth to her apparently did not feed her like they should have." I reply.

"I see...that will never happen again." He says. I meet his gaze. I smile and nod. His eyes widen slightly before smiling as well. I look down to Ashyr to see her nearly done with her bottle. "W-what will happen tomorrow?" I ask, looking to him. "Well, you and Ashyr will be heading to my pack. And your friends will be headed to theirs. Of course, you all can stay in contact too." He says.

"Are we going to ride in the metal box thing?" I ask. He raises an eyebrow. "Do you mean a car?" He asks. "Umm..I guess?" I ask more then I say. "Well yes, we are." He replies with an unreadable expression. He must think I am completely stupid. I begin eating my food, only being able to finish half of it.

"Are you finished?" He asks. I nod. We stand and bring our food treys to another Unlabeled older lady. We then walk out of the big room and back down the hall we came from. "Do you or Ashyr have anything to bring?" He asks. "The hospital is giving us some stuff. A few changes of clothes, a pair of shoes, and they are giving us the crib she has slept in. Along with a few toys." I reply.
