Author's Note: First off you don't have to review, but if you do then telling me what you liked and didn't like would be great. I had a really sappy rough draft of this typed out but I think that this came out much better. The story will have the Warehouse in it later on and it will show Claudia growing up until she's at the age in which we see her in the show (so 19-21). I am not a speedy updater but I do it when I can.
Disclaimer: I don't own Warehouse 13, or any of the characters. The title is a song title so I don't own that either (this song however di not inspire this fanfiction). The only thing I do own is the plot so don't steal.
"Well Claudia are you ready to go to your new home?" The elderly Mrs. Bell asked the six year old girl in front of her. She had been Claudia Donovan's social worker for the past year since her brother passed away. Finding a family for the young girl had been difficult but a couple that had recently left the Secret Service and opened a bookstore to start a family.
"No. I told you I want my old home back. I want Joshua, and my Mommy and Daddy." The young red head complained. "I probably won't even like these people and they won't even want me around. You don't want me around either." Claudia pouted at the thought of her new home. She didn't much understand what had happened to her family but she knew that they were never coming back.
"Look I know that this may be hard for you but these people will take good care of you. They own a nice bookstore and they'll be really nice. I'm sure that you'll like them, and that they'll feel the same way about them too." Mrs. Bell persisted.
"Fine, but I won't like them. What are their names anyways? Because I'm not calling them mom and dad." The girl may only be six but she sure was feisty.
"Well their names are Myka and Helena. And you'll have two moms instead of a mom and a dad." The social worker tried to explain it the best she could. It was something that not all children understood and although Claudia was a bright girl she wasn't sure if it would make sense to her or not.
"Okay. Well when will they be here? You said that they would be here at ten and its eleven now." Claudia said as she pointed to the clock on the wall.
"I'm sure that they're just running a bit late. Why don't you make sure that you have everything packed and I'll give them a call?" Claudia nodded in response and went to her room in the orphanage to pack her last bag. While she was in her room she left the door open so that she could hear Mrs. Bell on the phone. However, instead of hearing the older woman on the phone she heard the door open and then close and three people talking.
Picking her two bags up she put one over her shoulder and dragged the other with her as she walked down the stairs. When she got down stairs she saw two very pretty ladies talking to Mrs. Bell. She stopped in front of them and dropped her bags, "Who are you?" Claudia asked as she looked up at them with dis-taste. Most of the people that came into the orphanage weren't very nice.
The two women looked at Mrs. Bell shocked. Claudia had been described to them as a nice, well behaved young girl. "Claudia! You know better than to be so rude. This is Myka, and this is Helena. They're going to take you home in just a few minutes. Why don't you wait here while we go into my office?" Without waiting for an answer Mrs. Bell showed Myka and Helena the way to her office.
Claudia huffed and glared at the retreating forms of the three women. She sat down on her bag and crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for them to come out of the office. When they did she didn't move just simply sat there. "Claudia they're going to take you home now. You just remember to call if you need anything okay?" The six year old's expression softened and she uncrossed her arms. She hugged Mrs. Bell and whispered a soft thank you in her ear. After that Mrs. Bell left the room and Claudia and turned to Helena and Myka, each of them holding one of her bags.
"Hello Claudia. I'm Helena and this is Myka. Are you ready to go home now?" Helena said gently as she bent down to Claudia's level. Claudia noticed that she had a really pretty voice that sounded nothing like her own and really long dark hair. Turning to Myka she noticed that she wore round glasses and had curly brunette hair; both of them were very pretty.
Claudia stayed silent but meekly nodded her head. She followed her new mothers to a car and as they drove away she let out a sad smile. She would miss her own family but she was happy to have these new people to take care of her.
