the trouble Parker was causing her aunts, defying them at every chance he found.
    He stayed leaning against the Jeep with his arms crossed, refusing to look at anyone, staring off into the distance. When his new moms tried to get him to join everyone he ignored them as though they hadn't spoken.
    Aunt Stevie and Aunt Naomi introduced Ava to everyone, who shyly smiled at them all. When they informed her that Wesley, Magnolia, and Violet were triplets her eyes bugged out. They got that a lot, especially since they all looked so different. People seemed to expect them to be identical.
    Wes was the first born and extremely tall for his age, by far the tallest in their class and those a few grades higher. Violet had been born next, was average height, and the only one to receive what her mom called “Northern Light” eyes because of the blue coloring that had a mingling of aqua and yellow-gold, inheriting them from her dad. She was also the only one to have her mom's golden-brown hair color. Maggie came last, scrawny and little, the runt of the litter. She and Wes had their dad's dark blond hair, Maggie's more on the lighter side, and their mom's honey-colored eyes.
    Next Ava was introduced to Noah. Upon seeing him, she hid behind Aunt Naomi's legs. Most kids had that reaction to him (most adults too). It wasn’t only his massive size, but also the scars that covered his face and arms. It didn't help that he rarely smiled, making his features seem darker. All three of his kids idolized him, Violet being at the top of the list.
    Noah was used to people reacting like Ava and never tried to rectify it. It didn’t bother him in the slightest, so it surprised Violet when he squatted down to be more eye level with Ava.
    “Hey, Ava.” Noah gave her one of his rare smiles that he usually reserved for his kids and wife (and on the rare occasion Malik's kids). “I'm Noah. You don't need to be frightened by me.” He pointed to the three scars on his eye, “I got these slaying a three-headed dragon. I always make sure my family is kept safe. You're family now. I'm here to make sure nothing bad gets to you.”
    Ava slowly slid half of her body from behind Aunt Naomi to peek around her arm, “Like a knight?”
    He chuckled, amused at being called that, “For family, yes. I'm here to protec–”
    “She doesn't need your protection,” Parker interrupted, wrapping an arm around his sister and pulling her into him. “She has me. I'm the one who's been there for her and kept her safe. You think you can just make up some bullshit and we can all be one big happy family?”
    Ava cast her eyes downward at Parker's infuriated words.
    Violet wanted to punch him in all the ways her dad had showed her how. She'd always been very protective of those she loved, for as long as she could remember.
    Her fists balled up as she took a step forward, ready to tell Parker how awesome her dad was and how he should feel lucky to be allowed to even come there.
    “Parker, that's enough,” Aunt Naomi spoke up first. “He's only trying to help her be more comfortable. Would you prefer Ava be afraid all day?”
    Parker wouldn't look at her, turning his head to the track, examining it. Boredom was on his expression, as though nobody had spoken to him.
    “I didn't think so,” Aunt Naomi continued, unfazed by being ignored. “Nobody will ever be able to protect her better than you…” Parker’s grip tightened around his sister as he continued pretending to not be listening “…but wouldn't it be nice for her to know she has places to go where she's safe and nothing bad will happen to her? That she has people who care about her?”
    “We don't need anybody to care about us,” Parker seethed, glaring first at her, followed by Noah. “Especially some horror-film freak!”
    “Hey!” Violet shouted, “Nobody is saying they care about you. ” She tried to ignore the way for a brief moment Parker slightly flinched, as though what she had said actually
