Koda snuggled into Christine more. Having a child like moment where all he wanted was to be close to his mother. He nuzzled her and laid his head on her breasts. He had quite a few things he had blocked out because it was traumatic. The biggest was the "therapy" his mother had put him through as a young child. Even when he was only a year or two old. She had always been trying to "fix" him so he wouldn't see the dead. "Fix" him so he wouldn't interact with it. His grandmother had once been a spy and she had microphone recorder bugged the house to record the interactions between her daughter, her son-in-law and Koda. She also had hidden all of the tapes in a graveyard behind a plaque to keep her daughter and them from getting to them. Leaving clues and directions of how to get to the important information at her old house. Which had been unused since she passed away.<br/><br/>Koda began to doze off while good memories flooded his mind instead of the bad that had been haunting his awake mind. Memories of when he first met Christine. Of the first time she had kissed a "boo boo" better and given him a treat. THe first time she had told him...I love you. Those words had meant the world to him but he hadn't yet given up on his parents. All he ever wanted as a child was to be loved and accepted by the people who gave him life. That had never come to be. Christine though, that was a different story. Since day one she had shown him love and acceptance. He wished it hadn't taken him so long to realize she was all he needed. Another memory he had was Christine taking him to the fair when he was eight years old. She had spent a lot of money on him making his birthday special. The rides had been awesome and even though Christine was terrified of roller coasters she had gotten on them with him to make his birthday the best it could be.<br/><br/>He was somewhat smiling in his sleep indicating that he was having a good dream. Good dreams were hard to come by for him. Most nights memories of the bad things haunted his sleep. He grumbled cutely about being woke up when they got to the restaruant. He slowly woke up and sat up a bit. Snuggling with Christine just a moment more before they left the car. He stretched out his limbs and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Following Christine and Serenity inside. He felt like hiding when lots of eyes began staring at him. Biting his lower lip and pressed into Christine instinctively. "They are all staring." He whispered to her before the people went back to eating and talking amongst himself. He shivered as that had been quite uncomfortable for him.<br/><br/>He ran a hand through his hair. Going to the bathroom to use it and washed his hands and face. Coming back out and waiting on Christine. Following her to the table. He looked at Serenity to see if she was following before sitting down with Christine. As far as school education went most of his education came from things Christine had taught him. He had never truly been enrolled in school because his parents just didn't care if he got an education. Christine wasn't able to enroll him because she didn't even have gaurdianship at the time. Though homeschooling had been the best option for him. Even the cook at Christine's castle taught him stuff. Taught him to cook some as well. He looked at the menu and decided on cinnamon french toast, a large hot chocolate, and scrambled eggs with cheese. He waited for Christine to order as well. Looking around for Serenity. He spotted her but was hoping she'd come over. In the car he could have sworn he heard her talking to someone but that was probably a figment of his sleepy imagination. He dreaded going to court and facing those people. His mother would immediately call him a monster like she always did. Not before the judge or jury but outside the courtroom.
