Shawn
~~
I could sense that Dietrich was heading toward the bed with Reinhold and the doctor. I could sense that the kids, caught awkwardly in the middle at the moment, were huddled near the wall so that they weren't in the way. I could sense and knew all of this, but I was more focused on those boys at the moment. They were my priority.
"Hallo ihr Kleinen, mein name ist Shawn." I was kneeling before them, the two little boys that were not even two yet. "Es ist in Ordnung, Jungs." I spoke soothingly to them, to get their attention. "It is OK." I repeated again in English this time. "Shhh, Es ist in Ordnung, meine Kleinen." I reached for them as I spoke, the two of them crying hard as they begged again and again for their mother.
"Mama!" They said the word together as they both latched onto me. They could sense in me someone that was there for them, that would help them.
