Hayden grinned when she returned. He pushed a light drink towards Ms. Shale. "Figured a drink might help. Nox wil handle whatever he's handling. Liam ordered some food should be her soon. But he's got some raw veggies and cracker and cheese. Could throw some popcorn in the microwave if that's not your thing"
There was little time for her to respond as the herd of children stomped up the stairs .Arabella was first up the stairs, that 4 year old energy never stopped until it did. She saw him and was soon wrapping her arms around his legs. "Hey kid." Hayden lifted her up and smiled.
She turned to Emily and grinned. "Is she in trouble, too?"
Hayden chuckled. "Her sister is."
"Is Nox going to save someone else?"
"He is."
She looked over at Emily "Are they going to live her too?"
Hayden laughed. "No. I think Nox is working on a way to save people and not them move in with him." He set the little girl down . "Why don't you go play with Gen and Sera, just pick up when you are done, Nox won't need the mess when he gets back."
"Okay." She scurried away into the dining area where toybox was.
Liv was carrying Lily and looked like she needed a break. Hayden walked around and took the baby from her. "Go take a nap. We got her till Nox gets back."
Hayden gave the baby a smile but Liam was taking her from him as he went back to his spot behind the counter. "As you can see it's a mad house here."
