~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hiccup and Hailey were sitting in a fancy office waiting for Hiccup's lawyer. 

"What do I have to say?" Hailey asked her dad. 

"Just answer the questions he asks, okay?" Hiccup told her. Hailey nodded. 

Mr. Barns walked into the office and sat down. He looked at Hailey. 

"You must be Hailey." Mr. Barns said. Hailey nodded. "Is it okay if I ask you some questions?" He asked. 

"About what?" Hailey asked. 

"About your mom, and dad, and your home, and Astrid. Is that okay?" He asked. 

"Okay." Hailey said. 

Mr. Burns asked for a social worker to come and take Hailey. A tall, thin lady with dark hair came into the room. 

"I'm Mrs. Harris, I'm going to take Hailey to another room to talk to her." Mrs. Harris said. 

"Hailey, go with her, okay? I'll see you in a little bit." Hiccup said. 

"Okay." Hailey said and got down from her chair and went with Mrs. Harris. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Harris brought Hailey into a room that was a little more kid-friendly and had her sit down at the table. 

"Do you like to color?" Mrs. Harris asked her. Hailey nodded. 

Mrs. Harris pulled out some paper and crayons for Hailey to use. 

"I'm going to ask you some questions about your family while you color, okay?" Mrs. Harris said she also set up a small recording object to make sure she didn't miss anything Hailey said. 

"Okay." Hailey said picking up a blue crayon and drawing a line. 

"Do you go and visit mommy sometimes?" Mrs. Harris asked her. 

"I use too. But not anymore, it's been a long time." Hailey said. 

"Why is that?" 

"I don't like it there." 

"Oh? Can you tell me why you don't like it there?" 

"Mommy and her friend that's a boy, they don't like me." Hailey said drawing on her paper. 

"Why don't they like you." Mrs. Harris asked her. 

"I don't know, but they're mean to me. Mommy would tell me to shut up and call me a brat. she said once that she wishes I wasn't hers and doesn't want me. Her friend yells at me too. When I'm hungry there, they won't let me have a snack. I don't have toys there.

"Has mommy or her friend ever hurt you?" Mrs. Harris asked. 

"She would hit me on my cheek more than once, and her friend has hit me on the head and they grab my arms really tight." Hailey said. 

"What about your daddy?" Mrs. Harris said, a little shocked at what Hailey just told her. 

"I love my daddy! He's the best daddy in the whole world! He bought me a puppy last week because I've been sad, and my classmates are mean to me, so he got me a puppy to help me be happy. But he makes yummy food, and plays with me, and takes care of me. I love him." Hailey said. Mrs. Harris smiled. 

"What about Astrid?" Mrs. Harris asked. 

"My other mommy? I love her too. She's really nice to me. She takes care of me with daddy, and she loves me." Hailey said picking up a green crayon now.
