My housemate moved the kid from one arm to another and cleared a bit off of my wooden desktop. Damian set the child in his arms down, shifting as he set then on my desk. They were small, well, that was evident from the start. I looked at them for a moment then looked at Damian, raising an eyebrow.

"...where did you find them?"

I asked softly, pushing myself up and walking over to the child, standing in front of them.

~~ [Y/n's Pov] ~~

After the chocolate eyed male, Damian, as Wilford called him, picked me up after I finished the bread with the creamy spread and left the kitchen as I rested my head on the males shoulder as he carried me. It was nice, to have a full, well, fuller belly. I place my arms around his shoulders and let out a breath, watching as the kitchen disappeared as we turned the corner. He placed a hand on my back and rubbed it with a soft hum. It was nice...I slowly closed my eyes and shifted into something of a sleep.

When I woke up, I was somewhere different. The walls were a warm pearl color, a few pictures hung from strips on the walls. I looked down, seeing that I was sitting on a wooden lip.

"ωɦε૨ε ∂เ∂ ყσµ ƒเɳ∂ ƭɦεɱ?"
(Where did you find them?)

"In an alleyway, yesterday. They were alone, and I couldn't...leave them there.."

I looked up, up and Damian and saw someone else. He was shorter than Damian. He wore a long white coat, a mint shirt and glasses, his hair tucked up neatly besides one strand in the front that hung over his forehead.

"ყσµ ∂σɳƭ ɳεε∂ ƭσ ɠεƭ ∂εƒεɳรเѵε, ƭ૨µรƭ ɱε"
(You dont need to defensive, trust me)

The new male reassured him softly, putting his hands up a little, as if that would help to calm the other.

"Sorry"

"เƭ'ร σҡαყ, เƭ'ร σҡαყ"
(It's okay, it's okay)

The males spoke for a moment more, something I didnt quite hear, but both looked at me after a moment. The new male shifted and stepped closer to me, kneeling down a little and looking at me. He looked kind, and smiled at me,

"ɦεℓℓσ ƭɦε૨ε [ყ/ɳ], ɱყ ɳαɱε เร ε૨เҡ."
(Hello there [y/n], my name is Erik)

He greeted softly, shifting from one foot to another.

"H...hi"

I murmured softly, tilting my head to the side and studying Erik for a moment. He looked a lot like Damian...and the portrait of Google, and Wilford..I shook my head a little, rubbing my eyes for a moment, only to feel a warm hand holding one of mine and gently pulling out towards the males. I paused for a moment and opened my eyes, looking at Erik, who was carefully looking at my hand and arm. Curious, I spoke up.

"W-what are you d-doing?"

I asked softly, tilting my head to the side.

"เ'ɱ ʝµรƭ ૮ɦε૮ҡเɳɠ σɳ รσɱεƭɦเɳɠ"
(I'm just checking on something)

He explained softly, moving from one hand and arm to another, looking over and checking them. After a few minutes, he stepped back, seeming to be satisfied.

"Well?"

Damian inquired softly, looking at the other male.

"૮ℓεα૨เɳɠ µρ ร૮α૨ร αɳ∂ ɓ૨µเรεร, ƭɦεყ'ℓℓ ɓε σҡαყ, ɓµƭ ƭɦเร เร σɳℓყ ωɦαƭ เ ૮αɳ รεε ƒ૨σɱ ɦε૨ε"
(Clearing up scars and bruises, theyll be okay, but this is only what I can see from here)

Erik explained, looking at the other male, standing and sighing.

"เ'ℓℓ ɳεε∂ ɱσ૨ε ƭเɱε αɳ∂...ωεℓℓ, ૨εรσµ૨૮εร.." He paused and cast a glance at me for a moment before looking back at Damian. "ƭσ ɦεℓρ ƒµ૨ƭɦε૨"
(I'll need more time and...well, resources...to help further)

Damian nodded a little, seeming to think about this before walking over and picking me back up, letting me rest on his arm as a sat my head on his shoulder.

"I'll schedule an appointment"
