Narrator POV

Atticus was on his way to the court house, with Mr. Taylor 

Once they arrive, Atticus walks in 

He sees you sitting on the ground, there's a blanket beneath you and you hold a small toy car, a hot wheel 

A sippy cup at her side and a pacifier in her mouth, and as sheriff Heck Tate is sitting in front of me and two other people,

Atticus walks over and Mr. Tate looks up at him 

He stands up 

"Here she is, little miss Y/n, she is very stubborn and wont eat or sleep or even let us change her, if we touch her she cries, i feel bad for the poor girl Atticus" Mr. Tate said in a panicked tone

Atticus looked down at the girl, her one little pigtail on the top of her head, making her look mighty cute 

She held the hot wheel, playing with the wheels, she was only wearing a shirt a diaper and a pair of socks.....

Atticus bent down in front of the girl looking at her, she seemed bruised on her left arm

"Hi there miss Y/n, I'm Atticus" He said 

Your POV 

You were playing with the wheel's on the small hot wheel you were playing with until you saw a man bend down in front of you

"Hi there miss Y/n, i'm Atticus" He said and you got a good look at him 

His glasses, his dark hair, his suit, 

You watch him, 

"Whats your name" He asks but you don't answer

He smiles, you haven't seen many smiles but this man seemed....different 

You look away and take out your pacifier, grabbing your sippy cup drinking from it, 

"What are you drinking" You heard the man say 

You look at him, and hold out your sippy cup to him, 

He smiles and takes it as he sits down, crossing his legs 

"Lets see, is it milk" He says and you shake your head 

He looks as the cup then back at you, 

"Is it apple juice" He asks and you nod 

He smiles and hands it back to you, as you drink a small bit and set it down beside 

Atticus cant help but notice, your careful and organised behavior as to hide that fact your scared

You left your pacifier beside you, as you held the car looking and playing with the wheels

"Is that your car Y/n" He says 

You nod and hold it out to him 

He takes it and smiles

"Its a very nice car, a pretty purple car" He says, 

He puts in on the ground and rolls it to you

You smile, its the first smile he's seen on your face as you grab the car and roll it back to him 

He chuckles and rolls it back to you

Mr. Tate walked behind Atticus patting his shoulder as he sat on the ground

"Good job Atticus, you made her smile, shes even playing with you, you must have a thing with children" Mr. Tate said patting his back

You babbled and made little sounds, running the car on the ground 

That was until Mr. Tate asked Atticus something 

"Hey Atticus, do you think you could get her to eat, or sleep, or even change her, please we've been trying all day but she just cries, we need help man" Mr Tate says and Atticus nods 

Atticus looks at you playing with the car,

"You know Y/n, you remind me of my daughter as a little baby" He says and you look up at him 

You watch him, 

"Y/n dear can you come with me?" He asks giving you a comforting smile 

You watch him and hide your face a bit

"Come on sweetheart, I have something wonderful to show you" He smiles 

He smiles and gives Mr. Tate a thumbs up 

You push your self up to your feet trying to grab all your stuff, 

"Oh no, its okay we'll be right back" He says and you drop it all, just hold your car in your hand

Atticus holds out his hand and you look up at him

"Its okay, i won't hurt you" he says and you slowly grab his finger

He smiles and guides you too a table in the court room, 

He sets you on the table and he stands in front of you as you sit on the table, 

Mr. Tate brings him a plate of food, with applesauce and cut up hot dogs 

He sets it on the table in front of you, he takes the spoon putting a bite on it 

"Open wide" he says and you open your mouth with a smile 

You take the bite, happy to be eating  you were quite hungry

You munch and hum happily as Atticus chuckles

"Is that better miss Y/n" He asked and you nodded, 

As he pulled a small handkerchief wiping your face down, and he grabbed you setting you back down on your little blanket, 

Mr. Tate handed Atticus a diaper and wipes 

You looked at them talking before Atticus looked back at you 

You hold you car trilling your lips smiling 

He grabbed your little hands guiding you to lay down on your back, 

You start to whine and kick your legs, 

"Hey now, its okay" he coos, shushing you

He put the pacifier in your mouth, you looked at him with big fussy eyes

He slowly changed with with the presence of a father, 

Once he was finished he grabbed your little hands helping you sit up

You rubbed your eyes, looking at Atticus as you held a tight grip on your car 

But you didn't reply but started to whine, dropping the pacifier out your mouth 

"Awe are you sleepy hm?" He bounces you, 

He slowly picked you up making sure you were comfortable 

You whines slowly turned into cries, 

He shushed you and put the pacifier back in your mouth, grabbing your blanket and wrapping you up

You rocked back and fourth, making you sleepy 

He hummed softly, rocking you

Soon enough you feel fast asleep in his arms~ 

Atticus POV 

I held the small girl, watching her sleep peacefully 

"Well done Atticus, i think your ready for the trial tomorrow" Mr Tate said 

"I sure hope so" Atticus said, rubbing your back

He watched the girl sleep, never wanting to wake her, she seemed so sweet and gentle

It was sad to hear what she had to go through~
