Author's Note: I know that Claudia was seven when Joshua 'died' but I changed her age by a year because in my fic he died with his parents and not because of an artifact. And she was seven not ten because he was gone for twelve years and she's 19 in the show.

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 did not inspire this fanfiction). The only thing I do own is the plot so don't steal.

The entire car ride home Claudia stayed silent. She simply looked out the window and frowned at the thought that she was going to have to spend all of her time with these people. She knew that Mrs. Bell didn't care where she ended up as long as it was a home which is probably why she was here. The young girl hadn't meant to be rude to her only friend but she didn't want to leave what had been her home for the last year.

"Claudia darling we're here. Why don't you let Myka and I take your bags for you?" Helena asked as Myka pulled into the drive way and parked the car. However, before Claudia could even answer her bags were being taken from the trunk and she was being led into a bookstore.

"You guys live in a bookstore?" Claudia asked confused as she looked around. However, upon hearing someone snicker at her she frowned. The red-head didn't think it was that dumb of a question.

"No Claudia. We own the bookstore but we live in the apartment upstairs. Come one why don't we show you." Myka said as Helena unlocked the door to the stairs and the apartment. Claudia followed them both silently until she got upstairs.

"Can I just go take a nap now? I'm tired." The six year old complained. She really wasn't all that tired but she didn't want to be here. Myka sighed and whispered something to Helena before walking away. "Did I say something wrong?" Claudia wondered. She knew that they wouldn't like her but she didn't mean to upset them. Helena looked surprised when the little girl said this and crouched down to her level.

"No honey, you didn't say anything wrong. Now I can show you your room and tuck you in if you like? Or would you rather go by yourself?" Helena asked as she looked Claudia in the eyes. She wanted her to know that she wasn't going to hurt or leave her.

"Um do you think that you could tuck me in?" Claudia looked down at the floor as she spoke. She had been sure that her adoptive parents would be horrible but so far Helena was really sweet to her.

"Of course I can. Your room is just down here." Helena picked up Claudia's bags and led her to her new room. "If you want then once you get all settled in we can paint it."

"Okay." Claudia looked around in amazement. The bed was full sized and she had all sorts of furniture. She climbed into the bed and kicked off her shoes, giving Helena a slight smile.

Helena pulled the blankets up to her chin and kissed her on the forehead before shutting off the light. "Have a good nap Claudia." The new mother said as she left the room, pulling the door shut behind her.

After tucking Claudia in Helena went to the kitchen to see if Myka was in there. Upon seeing her pulling things out to make lunch with she frowned. "Myka what's wrong? Claudia is asleep in her room, and I know that things are bit strange right now but she needs to adjust. I know that you're worried but we'll be able to do this." Helena said as she started putting the food away and Myka sat down at the table.

"She's a bit more difficult than I thought. This is going to be hard and I'm not sure that we're prepared. I mean we'll have to enroll her in school for September, and I'm sure that she'll want to decorate her room. We'll have to buy paint and it doesn't look like she has very much for clothes." Myka spoke in a panic. It hadn't really hit her how hard it would to take care of a child until they brought Claudia home.

"And what happens if she ever asks about what we did before this? We have to lie to her. And will we even be any good at this?" As her panic continued Helena sat across from her. When Myka stopped talking Helena grabbed her hands into her own and looked her in the eye.

"Everything is going to be fine. We'll take this one step at a time and she's lost her whole family of course she's a bit difficult. I think that we just have to be there for her and make sure that she's comfortable. Myka why don't you go wake her up in a little bit and I'll get started on dinner?" The British woman suggested tenderly.

"Okay, I'll wake her up when dinner is almost done. But I'm going to go make a list of everything we need to get done." Myka said with a nod of her head. She kissed Helena briefly on the lips before going towards their bedroom.

About an hour later Claudia awoke to a knock on her door. "Claudia, honey dinner is ready." Myka said as she cracked the door open and flicked the light on. "You up?"

Claudia scurried out of her bed and over to Myka when her new guardian asked if she was awake. "I'm up. What are we eating?" She asked as she followed Myka to the kitchen.

"How does pasta with sauce sound?" Myka asked as she pulled out a seat at the table for Claudia and started setting the table.

"Yummy." Was the simple reply of the little girl. A glace of water was placed in front of her and Helena dished out the food. The meal was eaten in silence, with only a few comments about how delicious it was.

When the trio was finished eating Claudia helped Myka pick up from dinner and clean the kitchen. Once done with that Myka helped her put her clothes away and Helena went to the store to pick up paint samples to look at. By the time all of this was done it was nearing seven at night and Claudia was becoming tired. So walking up to Helena she pulled lightly on the sleeve of her shirt to get her attention.

"Can I take a bath now? I'm getting tired." She finished her sentence off with a yawn as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

"Of course you can. Let's go get you in a bath okay? Myka went downstairs to get the store ready for tomorrow but she'll be up to help tuck you in." Helena said as she showed Claudia how to use the bath and filled the tub up for her.

About a half hour later when Claudia was done with her bath she changed into her pjs and went into her room. She pulled her damp hair back into a ponytail and climbed into bed just in time for Myka and Helena to come in.

"Ready for bed?" Helena asked as she pulled back the covers for Claudia. She was answered with a nod and a yawn from the young girl. Claudia hopped into bed and waited for Myka to pull the covers up before she got comfortable. Once she had done so she smiled at each of them.

"Nighty night." The six year old said with a yawn. Helena and Myka each kissed her forehead and shut off the light as they left the room.

"Night Claudia, sweet dreams." Was the last thing that Claudia heard before she drifted off to sleep.
