With Vivi gone to the grocery store, King took the time to have himself and Eva do a little father-daughter bonding. He put on an action movie that he'd wanted to see for a bit, something he knew that Vivi wouldn't approve of their daughter seeing, and all was fine until Vivi came home in the middle of a particularly steamy sex scene.
"Oh, my god!" Vivi cried and blocked the TV when she realized what King was letting Eva watch. "King, you can't let her watch that! It's not good for small children!"
"I'm not a small children!" Eva cried irritably. "I'm a big girl!"
"You still can't watch this," Vivi said firmly. "Let's go watch the show about the singing dinosaur instead."
"Fine," Eva said and reluctantly let her mother pick her up out of her father's lap. Vivi then gave King a long look and sighed before carrying Eva from the room.
"How come you got mad at Daddy?" Eva asked her mother when the two of them were in her room with the door firmly shut.
"Because you're too young to watch movies like that and he knows it," Savannah replied. "Why can't you just watch things about princesses and ponies and stuff like other little girls?"
"Cause stuff like that is stupid!" Eva informed her mother.
"Oh, all right," Vivi sighed. "But can you humor me just this once and watch something fit for a little girl?"
"Okay," Eva nodded and pulled out the Little Mermaid again. "Is this okay?"
"Yes, it is," Vivi nodded with a smile. "Good choice."
She zapped up a small TV so they could watch the movie without disturbing King, and Eva got some genuine bonding time with her mother.
However, Eva was still a bit mad at her for being taken away from King the previous day, so instead of telling her mother that she wanted to go swimming so they could go to the city pool or set up her little one outside, she zapped a little pool into the kitchen, filled with water and all, and then zapped herself into her suit and orange floaties.
She happily splashed around until her mother, seeming very distracted, strode into the kitchen while talking on the phone, and ended up plunging one of her new leather boots into the pool.
"Excuse me, Mommy," Eva said to get her mother's attention. "Your shoe is in my pool."
It was then that Vivi felt the water and looked down after ending her call.
"Oh, my god!" She cried. "What's a pool doing in here?"
"I zapped it in," Eva said. "I wanted to go swimming!"
"Well, I told you you weren't allowed to go swimming in the house!" Vivi said, moved her foot, groaned, and picked Eva up out of the pool. "Now get rid of this, and once you're dressed, I'm putting you in time out."
"What did I do?" Eva asked.
"You brought a pool in the house when I told you not to," Vivi replied. "When I tell you not to do something, you shouldn't do it. Now go to your room."
At that moment, King called out, "Vivi! Eva-Michelle! I'm back with my parents!"
"Grandpa!" Eva cried and ran straight for Mikael. "Thank you for coming. Mommy would have put me in punishment if you didn't."
"Oh, you're still in punishment," Vivi said firmly. "It's just postponed until your grandma and grandpa leave."
"What naughty thing have you done?" Mikael asked, putting her down.
"I put a pool in the kitchen to go swimming," Eva replied. "And Mommy stepped in the water with her shoe."
"That's all?" Mikael asked. "Come on now, Vivian. Be reasonable."
"Oh, of course you would say that!" Vivi snapped at him. "If it were up to you, she wouldn't be punished for anything! And just so you know, I'm wearing new leather boots I just got! That's why this is a problem!"
"And if Eva-Michelle broke a rule," Gwen told Mikael firmly, "She should have to deal with the consequences."
"Thank you!" Vivi cried and hugged her. "And it's not like I'm doing anything too bad. Just giving her a time out."
"What do you think, Daddy?" Eva asked.
"I think that after Grandma and Grandpa go home, you'll be sitting in your time out chair," King replied.
"Okay," Eva said with a big sigh and then took Mikael's hand and let him lead her to the living room.
At Mary's urging, Sean brought her over to see Eva one weekend afternoon, where she met them both at the door, first hugging Mary, then looking at Sean. "Hi, baby!" She said to him as she grinned widely.
"What?" He asked.
"I said, 'Hi, baby'," Eva repeated. "People that like each other in daddy's movies say that."
"My goodness, what has your father been allowing you to watch?" Sean wanted to know. "I'm not the baby. You are."
"Movies," Eva replied. "And no I'm not!"
"Well, I think we should hold off on the TV and get fresh air instead." Sean suggested.
"That shouldn't be a problem," Vivi replied dryly, coming to join them. "She zapped up a pool in the backyard cause I wouldn't let her swim in the house."
"I did!" Eva said, looking very proud. It was then Sean noticed she already had her pink suit on.
They all went into the yard and Eva, much to Sean's horror, did a cannonball into the deep end of the pool and didn't resurface. Feeling panic rise up, he zapped himself into a suit and goggles and jumped in after her, only to see her happily swimming around like a little fish underneath the water, and not needing to be rescued at all, courtesy, he assumed, of a spell she'd put on herself without his knowledge to help her breathe.
When they both resurfaced, Eva asked, "Are you okay, Sean?"
"Now I am," he said. "When you jumped into the deep end, I was worried. Did you put a spell on yourself so you can breathe underwater?"
"Yes, I did," Eva nodded. "But thank you for rescuing me."
"You're welcome," Sean replied. "But please don't give me a heart attack like that again. I can only handle so much."
"All right," Eva replied as Mary jumped into the pool. "I won't."
After spending the day with Eva, Sean decided to go out with some friends he'd made to relax, and ended up bringing the cute blonde bartender home with him. They rolled around on the bed for a bit and then Sean fell asleep. He dreamed of being outside and seeing a figure in his pool. He walked to the pool's edge and watched for a minute before calling out, "Hey! Get out here! Show yourself!"
Then the wet, naked form of a beautiful blonde with big blue eyes climbed out of the pool and came to kiss him after zapping up lip gloss from nowhere and applying it before undoing his bathrobe and pushing it off his shoulders. "Who…?" He asked in shock as she eventually pulled away, leaving her lip gloss on his lips.
"Don't you recognize me, baby?" She got out. "I'm Eva." She then blew in his ear and nibbled on his earlobe.
"No," Sean backed away, his eyes wide and his hands out in a futile attempt to keep her at arms' length. "No, don't! Stay away!"
"What's the matter, baby?" Her voice echoed. "What's the matter?"
He then shot up bed, his heart racing, his body covered in a thin sheen of sweat, and his date turned…but she had Eva's face!
"What's the matter?" She asked as he let out another cry. "Are you okay?"
"I-I think," he said as he tried to calm his breathing, "I think you need to go home." He then put a spell on her to make her think her time with him was just a bad dream, so when she got out of bed the next morning, she wouldn't think to come looking for him again.
His dream about Eva the previous night had really shaken him, so when he saw her again a few days later at Savannah's (where Mary dragged him cause he wouldn't have chosen to go there himself, he overreacted.
"Don't you touch me!" He cried firmly when she tried to hug him, and once again addressed him as 'baby'. "I'm not your baby, I don't like you, and I want to get as far away from you as possible. If it were up to me, I'd be happy never seeing your face again!"
Eva stared at him in shock for a moment, then her lip trembled, jutted out, and she began to cry loudly.
This quickly got Savannah's attention and she came in, frowning at all of them and asking, "What in the world is going on here?"
"Sean is being mean!" Eva tattled as she wiped tears from her eyes. "He made me cry!"
"And what did you do to make him be mean to you?" Savannah wanted to know. She knew about Sean and Eva's relationship dynamics too well to just blame Sean right away.
"I called him a nice name," Eva explained. "I didn't do anything bad."
Sean sighed, knowing that he'd probably never be able to get out of this and even admitting to himself that he'd spoke to her harshly (although the catharsis of doing so had been something he'd enjoyed.) He got down on his knee in front of her, took her in his arms, and hugged her for much longer then he normally would have allowed himself. "I'm sorry," he apologized. "I went out with some friends last night and didn't get much sleep, so I was a bit crabby before. Do you forgive me?"
Eva smiled and kissed his cheek. "Yes, I do, baby!" She replied. Sean sighed and shook his head. He was just gonna have to get used to that nickname since she didn't seem like she wanted to give it up.
