One week later when Payton is at the library with her sister. Payton is walking around in the when she hears soft crying from. She walks over to where she hears the crying and sees a little boy that is no more than three.

"Hey buddy, are you ok? What's wrong? Where's your mommy or daddy?" Payton asked concerned

The little boy shakes his head, "My mommy left me. My daddy died when I was one. "

"How long have you been here?" Payton asked

The little boy shrugged, "I don't know."

Payton nodded, "I'm Payton. What's your name? And how old are you?"

"I'm Brian. I'm three." The little boy said as he reached up his arms to be picked up.

Payton smiled and picked him up, "It's nice to meet you, Brian." Then she asked, "hey buddy, are you hungry?"

Brian nodded, "Yes a little."

"Ok well I have to find my sister before I can go home and get you something to eat." Payton said as she carried Brian and walked to find her sister, Evangeline. A few minutes later, Payton found Evangeline.

Evangeline looked at Payton confused about the little boy in her sister's arms. "Who is this?" Evangeline asked

"This is Brian. He's three. He said his mom left him, and his dad died when he was one." Payton stated "I found him here in the kids section of the library. We can't leave him here alone."

Evangeline nodded, "Ok well let's go home then."

Payton smiled, "Thanks Evie."

Evangeline nodded as she walked home with her little sister. When they arrived at the front door of their house, Payton whispered, "Evie, you go in first."

"Ok" Evangeline said as she opened the door and walked in. "Ok mom, dad, don't freak out."

"Why would we do that?" Kevin asked as Payton walked in

Payton looked at her parents apologetically, "Mommy, Daddy, I'm so sorry, but I couldn't just leave him all alone."

Daniella and Kevin nodded in understanding. Danielle asked, "So what's his name?"

Payton replied, "This is Brian. He's only three. Oh and he's hungry."

Daniella reached out her arms to Brian, "Ok buddy, let's go get something to eat." Brian clung onto Payton. He felt safe in her arms and didn't want to leave her.

"Ok sorry mom, I guess he doesn't want to leave me." Payton said

"It's ok, sweetie." Daniella said "I understand."
