Steve crossed his arms as Harper began to climb the shelves, reaching for a familiar kettle from the third shelf before jumping down.
"Harper, seriously!" Claudia called out, playing with her necklace as she watched.
Mrs. Frederic smiled "Easy." She muttered.
Harper looked up at the air before looking down at the Wish Granting Kettle and shrugged "I wish for cake." She muttered.
The three of them blinked before finding a cake next to Harper on the floor.
Harper gasped, jumping for joy when Claudia shook her head "No, ma'am! No cake for breakfast!" she said, walking up to Harper and taking the cake away.
She huffed "I wish mommy would give me my cake."
A ferret popped out of the kettle, alarming Harper as she dropped the kettle onto the floor.
Steve couldn't help but laugh as he walked towards Harper and picked the kettle, and the ferret, up off the floor.
Harper looked up at her father, who looked at the kettle, over to Claudia who had her back turned to the both of them before turning back to Harper.
"I wish for a slice of cake." Steve whispered.
Another cake appeared next to both of them, Harper smiled as she looked down at the cake, then back up at her father "Thank you." She whispered.
Steve nodded "Oh, I also wish for two forks." He muttered.
Harper giggled as she picked up a fork and took a bite of the cake before Steve grabbed the slice of cake that was on a plate, and took a bite himself.
"Alright, lets move along." Mrs. Frederic said.
Steve held an ice pack to his right eyes as he sat back on the couch in the Warehouse office.
"How come she got to play with the paint brush?" Pete asked, almost pouting.
Claudia huffed "She didn't get to, her father gave her cake and she ran a muck in the Warehouse!" she gripped, turning to Steve who darted his eyes away from Claudia.
Artie chuckled to himself as he continued to tap away at the computer while Myka explained the artifact that she and Pete had bagged.
"I said I was sorry!" Steve said.
"Oh, you're sorry! That's great! But sorry isn't going to clean up the Warehouse, and 'sorry' isn't going to get me back on Mrs. Frederics' good side." Claudia said before storming back into the back room.
Pete turned to Steve and smirked "Oh, you!" he said before taking a seat next to Steve.
Steve pulled the ice pack away from his eye, showing the black eye that he had developed from Harpers' incident with Walt Disneys' Paint Brush before he turned to Pete.
"I didn't think she's get that out of control." He muttered.
Pete smiled "You never given her sugar."
Steve sighed "My first mistake." He said before he chuckled.
Pete shook his head "You should take her to the park, you'll lose her in five seconds." He said.
"I should get her out of the Warehouse…and the Bed and Breakfast. Which park do you take her to?" Steve asked.
Pete sighed "Uh…I don't know, the one with the giant castle playscape." He said.
Steve nodded "I'll take her to the park then!" he said as he stood up from the couch, dropped his ice pack, and walked into the back room.
"Harper, don't jump off swing!" Claudia yelled from her bench next to Steve.
Steve smiled brightly "See, this was a good idea." He said.
Claudia sighed, taking off her sunglasses "I guess." She said, turning back to Harper.
She stood up quickly "HARPER—stop pulling her hair!" she said.
Steve smiled as he sat back and watched tough Claudia scream at Harper from across the playground before she sat back down next to Steve.
Claudia sighed, crossing her arms as she watched Harper play in silence with Steve by her side when a woman sat next to her.
"The little red head yours?" the woman asked.
Claudia nodded "Yes, the little spawn of hell is mine." She said, turning to the woman.
The woman smiled "Well, she seems to be getting along well with my little girl." She said.
Steve and Claudia watched as the two girls ran around the playground, grabbing other girls and began a game of Red Rover.
"Should she be playing that?" Steve asked.
Claudia shrugged "We'll find out." She said.
The woman giggled "How old is she?"
"She's three." Claudia said, smiling at the woman.
"You're so young!" the woman said.
Claudia giggled "Uh, well…"
"We had her right out of high school." Steve interjected.
The woman nodded "Wow."
Claudia nodded, smiling as she turned to the game of Red Rover on the other side of the playground.
"Red Rover, Red Rover send Stacey on over!" the team to the left yelled.
Claudia and Steve watched as the young girl ran as fast as she could, running into the rival line and crushing Harper and another girl down to the ground.
"HARPER!" Steve cried out, getting up from his seat.
Claudia grabbed a hold of his arm "Easy Jinksy."
"She's a little girl! She's fragile!" Steve argued.
Claudia shrugged "She's just like me! She'll brush it off!" she said, turning to the game; they both witnessed Harper getting up off the floor.
"See! She's getting up, she's brushing the grass off her jeans, and she's moving on! No big deal!" Claudia said, pulling Steve back down to the bench.
Steve sighed, watching the game continue until it was finally over; Harper rushed over to her parents "May I have some water?" she asked Claudia.
Claudia smiled "Yes, you can." She said, pulling her water bottle out of her purse and handed it to Harper who nearly downed the entire bottle before Claudia gently pulled it away from her.
"Alright, Jelly Bean, lets go." She said, standing up with Steve as they prepared to leave.
Harper took Steves' hand "Can we come back tomorrow?" she asked as they began to make their way back to Steves' Prius.
Claudia and Steve looked at each other before Steve looked down at his daughter "We'll see." He said, as he helped Harper into the car seat.
