”No…” She sniffed refusing to back down for a moment, but then Daddy handed her a nose wipe and she sniffed again. She grabbed his hand and wiped her nose back and forth on the hanky (which Sachin was still holding onto). There was a snort and a snuffle and snot or tears might have gotten onto her daddy’s hand. ”You take me home,” she insisted, not willing to resign herself to going to the daycare yet.

Conley continued to murmur softly to Levi, nothing particular - just an old French nursery rhyme. He’d used the same one to calm Radhika when she was his age, but it didn’t seem to work too much anymore. Not that Levi needed to be soothed, it was more just something to keep him busy while Sachin spoke to their first born. But then Levi started clapping his hands and pointing. {“Yes, water,”} he said in French with a smile as he watched the little boy’s eyes twinkle with delight. ”But not the kind we can swim in. It’s just for looking pretty.”

Which was a funny way to put things because Conley watched as someone climbed into the fountain. Dear Merlin, was that Airey? What was he doing? Worse - someone seemed to be joining him. ”Sach,” he said, interrupting his husband and his daughter. ”Is that Ambassador Connelly?” Bloody hell… as if things at the underwater gala hadn’t been bad enough. He didn’t need to spend the afternoon telling the Netherlands that their diplomat had gone cuckoo.

Maybe he could just ignore it… he needed to make sure his children were safely in daycare before he responded to any problem. His children came first. It was a decision he’d made when they brought Radhika home and one that had been solidified after the problems with the Neo-Alliance and their anti-muggle rhetoric.

Yes, just maybe that was true: Radhika might be more stubborn than his husband. Thank goodness Sachin had had enough practice to handle such a situation like the one he currently found himself in. He would also tell Conley that he was certain their daughter did not like him more; it was just that she responded better to him. Sachin was sure Radhi loved them both equally and their main competition might be Duke. Radhika would be right: Sachin wasn’t angry. He had long learnt that patience was the way to deal with stubbornness. Patience and firmness. He knelt so that he was at eye level with the little girl. “I know you do.” Sachin fished into his pocket and offered her her pink little handkerchief which he kept for this exact reason. His words flowed in Hindi because he knew despite her not being fully able to respond in the language, she understood the foreign words. Sachin was very proud of Radhi for picking up on the language, along with French, so quickly. “Aunty Winnie and everyone else are busy today. They would have happily let you stay with them if they could. You know that, don’t you?” Little Levi might only be two years old but he was used to his Didi {‘older sister’ in Hindi} throwing tantrums. He often watched her in fascination when she did that; he watched her in fascination with anything that she did. Levi stretched out his small arms to his papa, making soft toddler noises in the process and as he settled into the man’s side. Seeing the water at the fountains, he clapped his hands in delight. ”No…” She sniffed refusing to back down for a moment, but then Daddy handed her a nose wipe and she sniffed again.
