So glad you guys wanted to read more! Sarah and I are so happy and thankful to get all of these lovely reviews :)
Logan nervously sat down on a big colorful couch. The fabric and pillows were so comfortable. Logan had never felt anything so soft and smooth. He wanted more than anything to just lie down and relax, but that was certainly not going to happen. Not now at least. He knew that calming down would give that lady an opportunity to just trick him like everyone else. Any other child probably would have been intrigued by the light and airy feel of the room, but instead he was scared out of his mind. He feared that women, simply because he didn't know her, nor did he trust her in any way. What if she hurt him or took him away from the Knights?
The small raven haired boy looked around anxiously as Mrs. Snow sat in a 'duct-taped' polka dot chair that was resting across from him. She was still holding a clipboard on her lap, and wearing the same reassuring smile on her face. Yeah, sure…nobody can smile THAT much. It had to be fake. This was all probably a stupid little plan, and Logan couldn't help but feel worried.
That didn't go unnoticed by Dr. Snow. After all, she was the one of the best Child Psychologists in the states. The poor boy was shaking with fear, and it broke her heart to see that. She wanted more than anything to help the child, but it seemed as if that was too far off to even think about at this point.
"Hello Logan, I'm Dr. Snow." The blonde lady introduced.
"H-hello." Logan replied, not making any eye contact. His mind was focused on staring down at his feet. He didn't dare look up once.
"Sweetie, you don't need to be nervous. I'm just going to ask you some simple questions so I can get to know you better. Your mommy and brother are sitting right outside." She grinned.
Logan peeked up for a second and wearily turned his attention towards the older women who sat across from him, "C-can Kenny come i-in with me?"
Dr. Snow hesitated, almost not wanting to respond 'yes', but it was up to the patient to decide whether or not they wanted someone in the room with them.
"P-please." His little lips quivered as a few tears rolled down his face.
Dr. Snow took down some notes before nodding and exiting the room. Mama Knight looked surprised to see that the therapist had been done with the session so quickly.
"You're finished?" She questioned.
Dr. Snow shook her head sympathetically, "Logan wants Kendall to come in with him. I believe he's a little too nervous to start having private sessions just yet."
Mama Knight turned towards Kendall, "Do you want to go in with Logie?"
Kendall didn't even have to think about this one. He stood up and followed Dr. Snow back into the room. Mama Knight smiled at how excited the older child looked when he found out he'd be able to join Logan. The brunette smiled shyly when he saw Kendall sit next to him. He felt better already, knowing that Kendall wouldn't let anything happen to him.
Logan snuggled up against his big brother and rested his head onto his lap. The blonde ran his fingers through Logan's hair and placed a kiss onto his forehead. There was a long pause of silence. All that could be heard were the faint sounds of a pencil making its way across paper. Dr. Snow observed how clingy the young child was towards his new brother.
"Do you feel more comfortable with answering questions now?" She asked softly.
Logan nodded slightly, and turned onto his side so he could see the lady better.
"Ok, Logan…how old are you?"
"I'm 8." He replied in an almost whisper.
"That's nice…do you go to school, Logan?"
"Yes." Was all the boy answered.
"Do you have any favorite subjects?"
Logan looked a little bit more interested now, "I really like math and science."
"Cool." She smiled, "Is there a reason why you like them so much?"
"I like math because it's fun and science because I want to be a doctor when I get older." Logan said in a much more relaxed tone. His body language still read 'tense' though Dr. Snow was happy to see he was warming up to her a little more.
"That's so awesome!" She laughed, "I'm a type of a doctor, and it's a lot of fun."
"Really?"
"Yep, and I can tell that you'll make a wonderful doctor as well." She grinned.
Logan wasn't used to getting complements, "T-thank you."
"Is there anything else about school that you enjoy?" She added.
Logan just shrugged. Everything else at school was horrible due to bullies…but that was the last thing he wanted to address at the moment. Dr. Snow didn't want to push the subject if it appeared to bother him in anyway. Instead she took a new approach at her methods. Without saying anything else, she turned around and grabbed a crayon box along with a notepad.
She turned to Kendall, "Honey, could you leave for a few minutes, I want Logan's full attention to be on the exercise I'm going to have him do now."
Kendall nodded, "Sure." He then looked over at Logan, "I'm going to be back later, Logie, but now Dr. Snow needs you to do something."
Logan instantly shot up and hugged Kendall, "I-I don't w-want y-you to l-leave, Kenny." He whimpered.
"I have to, baby, I'm sorry." He hugged the small boy back tighter, assuring that he still loved him. It might sound silly to say that someone needed to be shown they were still loved, just because they were leaving for a few minutes…but to Logan, Kendall leaving was scary, and it made him fear the worst.
Tears trickled down the young child's face as he hugged Kendall once last time before he left.
Dr. Snow handed Logan the crayons and paper, "Can you draw me a picture, sweetie?" She asked carefully.
"O-of what?"
"Anything you want." She grinned.
Logan nodded and placed the pad on the other side of the couch. He began to take out some colors and draw. Dr. Snow noticed how he avoided the light colors, and stuck to the 'browns' 'blacks' 'grays' and 'dark blues'. By the time she was done taking down some more notes, Logan looked up at her, holding the pad tightly to his chest.
"Are you finished, Logan?"
He simply handed her the piece of paper. Her heart broke into a million pieces when she saw a drawing of a little boy standing outside of a house in the pouring rain. The clouds had sad faces on them, along with the boy in the picture. She couldn't help but have a hunch that the boy was supposed to be himself.
"Logan, can you explain to me what you drew?" She tried to snap out of her sadness and keep the youngster assured that everything was fine.
She had never met a patient before that drew a sad picture on their first day. Even some of her worst cases would try to draw something that they liked.
Logan kept silent though. Not a single word was spoken.
Good? Sarah and I had fun writing this one! I'll be double updating :)
