It was a little after six and the Matthews tried to make sense of what had happened.
Auggie has been crying ever since they found out and nobody could stop him.
But Topanga thought she would still give it a try.

"He refuses to get dressed," Cory said.
"Great," Topanga said.
"He is still..."

Cory didn't finish his sentence due to a knock.
Both Cory and Topanga looked at each other and Cory went to open the door.

"Maya?"
"Hi Mr Matthews," Maya said and gave Cory a hug.
"Come in," Cory said.
"Thank you. Hi Mrs Matthews."
"Help," Topanga said.
"Yeah that's why I'm here," Maya said and put her suitcase down.
"Call and cancel Auggie's school for the day," Maya said and went down the hall.

She ended up at a door and saw a boy of seven trying to make sense of everything.
He wasn't dressed and he was crying his eyes out.
Maya sigh as she knocks.

"Auggie."
"Maya," Auggie says and runs to Maya.

She picks up the boy of seven and tries to make him feel better.

"It's okay."

Maya rubbed his back and tried to calm him down.
She doesn't know if she did it but he eventually fell asleep in Maya's arms.
She then put him back in bed and went in front.

"In a state," Maya said.
"How did he react?" Topanga asked.
"Ran to me, cried, I tried to calm him down. Eventually he fell asleep," Maya said.
"We don't know what to do," Cory said.
"I know and I know you're doing all you can. But sometimes even parents need help. And I'll try."
"How long are you staying?" Topanga asked.
"Hopefully awhile. I hoped I could stay here. Is it okay?"
"Of course. You can sleep in Riley's room. It's not a problem," Cory said.
