Susanna watched the scene unfold with wide eyes, her hands trembling as she attempted to maneuver the shot gun with little successes. At the Sargent's voice, Susanna froze, disbelief that the soldiers had returned. Against his advice, she came to kneel beside Robert and held his hand tightly. This action was for his comfort, and her own. She trembled softy as she watched the battle through the smoke filled yard, thankful as silence slowly took the place of firing.<br/><br/>She rose stiffly and assisted Robert to his feet, giving him a quick once over to assure herself that no harm had come to him. At the introduction of the babe, Susanna's eyes grew wide as she became mute, unsure how to respond. A child. A child lost in the world and separated from its family so young.<br/><br/>She was awoken from her trance like state as the baby emitted a loud wail and the soldier holding it appeared confused as what to do. This made Susanna chuckle due to how obvious the soldier's lack of interaction with children was, dispute how inappropriate the response was for the time. "Come here sweety," she cooed softly, transferring the babe into her own arms. She tickled his chin and smiled as the young baby giggle whimsically. "Of course I'll take him in," Susanna said, fixing the child in her arms. "I don't have much experience, but I can't let him go back now. So young and practically a soldier all ready," she murmured softly. Susan sighed and hugged the Sargent. "You are a good man. Now end this war quickly so no more families are broken," she whispered to him. "Please, let me give you one more meal before you all leave. It's the least we can do since we still have a home thanks t you folks," she said, patting him on the back.<br/><br/>Susanna came to Robert and exposed the child to him, her motherly smiling glowing on her face. "What do you think we should call him?" she asked. "I like the name Aedan for our little soldier."
