Autumn's POV
Mommy said I would sleep with them tonight. I nodded and sniffled, wrapping my arms around my neck as she carried me to the bedroom. She laid down next to me, stroking my hair and singing a soft lullaby into my ear. She hung her free arm over my waist and I closed my eyes. "I love you, baby girl." She whispered. And then I fell asleep.

When I woke up, Mommy still had her arm wrapped around me. Daddy was sitting on the floor, asleep, with his head against the nightstand. I guess they were trying to protect me from... those people...
I hung my arm over the side of the bed and took Daddy's hand. The back of it was hairy, but his fingers were smooth. I pressed it against my heart. I saw Daddy do this to Mommy once, bringing her hand to his heart. Then they said 'I love you'.
After a little bit, he opened his eyes and looked up at me. "Morning, princess." He said. I wiggled out of Mommy's grip and climbed into Daddy's lap. He gently wrapped his arms around me and I laid my head on his shoulder. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
"No..." I mumbled. They didn't do anything... just asked me questions. I didn't answer any. I was too scared, all I could do was cry.
"Good." Daddy said, rubbing my back. I heard Mommy stir above us.
"Autmn?" She asked.
"Down here, Mommy." I said. She nodded in relief.
"Okay, good."
