Marta giggled when he ruffled her hair. She knew she had spoken loud enough for Cade to hear. She didn’t really care about that right now. She was usually very careful. Based on his questions and his scent he likely wouldn’t understand any of it. He could think what he wanted.
Marta hadn’t thought she needed guidance or anything. She was just excited and wanted to tell someone. She had felt like she had figured everything out, but Hayden had a tendency to know what she needed more than she did.
Marta thought back to when Nox handed her Lily, she remembered what she had thought. What do I do with this thing. The correction had come quickly. Lily was a person - a human life. It clicked then and Lily opened her eyes and gave Marta a smile that she returned and she pulled the girl tighter to herself in a hug, careful and loving.
”Hi there, Baby Girl,” she cooed at Lily. She didn’t look up at Hayden as she answered his question. ”What better reminder do I need that I’m human than this precious little angel. You probably need to eat soon, don’t you? Better get ready for that.” she tapped Lily on the nose and got a giggle.
Marta leaned into Hayden in a hug. With the baby she couldn’t hug him, but he’d get it. ”Sorry I just needed to tell someone that. Makes it more real when you say it. I better get her bottle ready, and you should answer more questions. He smells so confused he’s likely to explode. Feel free to tell him what you need to.” it was her permission to Hayden to explain to Cade what she was.
Marta stood up and went behind the counter to the fridge where Liv said a spare bottle was stored. She gave Cade a smile as she did, pulled out the bottle and began to warm it up so that she was ready to feed Lily.
