453: Behavior

Behavior

  Victor watched Quinn closely. She was carefree and no one would hurt her and threaten her in this family but lead her to the right thing to do. Quinn is not just a perfectionist. She's something else. There will be times that she's sweet, and loving but she wants to bully Kal so much. He doesn't know why. Now, Kal was currently weeping on his chest, telling him that Quinn took his toys again. 

  He wasn't tired of hearing it but he's kind of tired that it always. Kal was a good boy and won't hurt Quinn. 

"I'm sorry, buddy. But I will talk to Quinn. Since she's still a baby, why won't you let her borrow your things?" 

  Kal pouted. 

"But I was playing that." He hiccuped. "I'm sorry." 

"Hey, don't be sorry. Quinn will be sorry to you. I will tell her." 

"But, Kin-kin, bibi." She pouted. "Kin-kin, bibi." 

"Yes, it doesn't matter. Quinn needs to learn how to say sorry and you, like a big brother, need to teach her that." He wiped his tears. "Quinn needs a lot of understanding. He's still a baby. So, you are the big brother, teach her how to do the right thing." 

"But Kin-kin, don't want to." 

"Convince her. You are the big bro." 

  Kal pouted and nodded. 

"Now, go to her." He put him down, wiped his tears, and fixed his hair. "I love you," He kissed his forehead. 

"Kay," Kal approached Quinn. The little girl looked up at him and lifted his toy. Somehow, it made Kal puzzled. "Kin-Kin sorry." 

"Soweee." Then, she went back to her toys and put them in the box. Organizing it. Kal looked at Victor who only nodded and nearly smacked his face. 

"I already spoke to her, Kal," Cole told him. "Don't cry." Cole patted his head. 

  Kal pouted like he's gonna cry again but then, Quinn stood and hugged him. She looked up at him with those big brown eyes. 

"Soweee. Sowee." She said again. 

"You are going to ask not to grab it. Okay?" 

"Si!" She said, shifting into Spanish since "yes" was too hard for her. 

"Kay, love—love…" He hugged her back and kissed her forehead. 

"Pay~~pay." Quinn pulled him to the seat and closed her box. Then, she took her purse and pulled out green cash, and gave it to him. 

  Kal was surprised and stared at it. 

"I thought we would play." 

"Pay~~pay." Then, she pointed to his toy. Kal stared at it but then he gave it to her. Cole gaped at Quinn. Then, Quinn put Kal's toy in her box. 

  Victor who was watching them all this time covered his face. 

"My…mamayyy." Quinn said. 

"Okay." Kal pouted and looked at the one-dollar bill. 

"Why does she have real money in her purse?" Cole asked. Dione tilted her head and checked her purse. She only got her lip balm on it. 

  Violet also noticed the kid's business so she sat down with her husband and gave him pasta. 

"Thank you, love." 

"So, what is Quinn's business?" 

"She just bought Kal's toy," Victor answered. Violet stopped and stared at her husband for straight one minute as he nodded his head. 

"What the hell?" Violet stood and approached the kids. She sees Kal's toy on Quinn's organizing box while Kal is holding one dollar and doesn't know what to do with it. "Quinn," She squatted to speak to Quinn. "Why did you take Kal's toy?" 

"Pay," Quinn said and pointed to the money. Then, she took out her purse and pulled twenty dollars as she gave it to Violet. 

"You can't buy me, Quinn." 

  Quinn pouted and put the money back. 

"Food," Kal exclaimed. "We pay for food." Kal gave the bill to her mother. 

  Violet sighed. 

"Quinn," Violet called again. Quinn looked at her with those adorable pouts. "Are you going to do it again?" 

  Quinn shook her head and she reached for Kal's hands. 

"If you want something, you should say what you want, not grabbing and not paying any money unless you are older." 

  Quinn leaned on her mini-sofa and sighed. Dione did the same, mimicking Quinn. 

"Yes, that's the reality, my dear." Violet exhaled as well. "Frustrating, right?" 

"Okane!" Quinn said aloud. "Okane!" 

  Violet sighed. 

"You better save that, Quinn. You are still a baby." 

  Quinn sighed again and Violet looked at Connor who shrugged at her.

  Connor lay down on the bed and received a call from his fiancee. Currently, Quinn was sleeping peacefully beside him. Tired from all of the activities. He grinned and showed Quinn's adorable sleeping face. Connor told her everything that happened at the party. Johanna had thought about it. She doesn't show signs of ADHD. It's just the attitude but where did she get it? No one shows that kind of attitude in the family. 

"I don't know what I was like back then," Johanna said and munched on her chips.

"Hmm," Connor thought too. "But can you believe it? She paid Kal one dollar in exchange for his mini green car toy." 

  Johanna stopped chewing and blinked in dazed. 

"What?" 

"She did that," Connor confirmed to her. 

"Wow, fascinating that she knows how to use money at that age. Maybe she saw someone?" 

"Maybe," Connor mumbled. 

"Well, I will check on it." She yawned. 

"Why are you eating? Are you supposed to sleep?" 

"I was hungry." She put it away and sighed. "I missed you. It's boring here." 

"Hmm, I miss you too." He whispered. "When are you coming back?"  2

"Soon," She grinned at him. "The Serpent is very angry at me since the gems are~~fake. I don't know how it happens." 

  Connor switched a little to admire her. 

"You know what?" She grinned. "Can we do it? You know, through video calls." 

"Do you know that someone might watch us?" 

"Oh, crap." She mumbled. "Right, right. Damn, how can I get off without you? I mean, it is frustrating." 

"Do you want me to come?" He grinned. 

"Babe, I want to. But there is this woman, a Lefebure. She's threatening me. And I don't want you to get mixed up." 

"Babe, if she's threatening you. I should be there." 

"Nope. I can't risk you. You stay with our baby Quinn. Understand?" 

"Crystal Clear." He sighed. "I want you to be with me right now and snuggle with Quinn." He turned to Quinn and got startled when their baby was sitting while rubbing her eyes. 

"Mama?" Quinn asked and leaned over his chest and moved her face to the cellphone. "Mama!" She smiled. 

"Hello, baby." Johanna pouted at Quinn. 

"Okane, Mama." 

  Johanna's eyes brightened. 

"You can ask your dad for okane." 

  She started saying a few words like telling her about what happened all day. Then, she yawned and leaned over Connor's chest. She kept mumbling something as Johanna listened to her baby girl. The little one fell asleep quickly and was still mumbling. 

"It's so good to hear her talk and call me, mama." Johanna suddenly burst into tears. It was a surprising thing for Connor. She quickly wiped her tears as she told him all about the facility. Connor was eager to take her out from there, but they needed Johanna to get the last gem. Also, they need to pull down the Serpent. 

  Connor watches as Johanna floss and brushes her teeth while he's patting Quinn. Then, she got back to bed and snuggled on the pillows. 

"Quinn is a bright child. Don't let them have her. Okay?" 

"Never." Connor kissed Quinn's head. "Our baby will be with you soon. I promise that." 

"Thank you." Johanna pouted again. 

"Go to sleep or do you want me to sing?" 

  She nodded her head. Then, Connor started singing as Quinn slid onto his arm and raised her other leg to his stomach. He continued singing for his girls and then, Johanna fell asleep. Connor hung up, put away his phone, and pulled Quinn's blanket. He then sighed slowly and stared at the ceiling. He needs to keep his family safe and complete. The only way that Johanna will be happy is to be here. To stay with her baby, laugh with her siblings, and enjoy every fun and disturbing moment of the kids. 

  But not just that… there are a lot more in their life. There will be more birthday parties and other events. Every day is memorable for them. Suddenly, Quinn woke up when he was in deep thought. She tapped his cheeks. 

"Mama?" 

"Mama is asleep, my love. We don't want to disturb her." She pouted and hugged him. Suddenly, she cried. Since he couldn't sleep. He got up, picked her up, and took her to the table to prepare her milk. She started saying words… mostly he didn't understand it. 

"Mama, okane." She pouted. "Mama, pay—pay…" 

"Hmm," He nodded his head. "If we can pay to get back your Mama. I would do it. But it is complicated, my love." 

"Shin~Shin." She lifted her head from his shoulder and pointed at his nose. "Mama~payeee. Missy~Missy. Dan~dan…" She sighed. Frustrated that she can't explain it. 

"Okay, I only understand, mama." He takes her to the bed and shakes her baby bottle. She wiped off her tears and crossed her arms. He bet that she saw that from Kal. "I know that you are frustrated, but you need to go back to sleep."
