Cain spun around. “Wika, no, honey its fine. Stop poking me.” He shook his head. She’d done something, if she was being sent to him. “What did you do to drive your mother crazy this time?” He was trying to be stern, he even had the whole ‘dad face’ going on. “What did I tell you coming over here?” He turned back to Eva. “Eva this is my daughter Wika, Wika this is one of your mother’s best friends. She and I went to school together.”

Wika shrugged. "Nothing...just, kinda..." She lowered her head and mummbled. "Shattered a bottle of Stollei on the floor by accident..."
She looked up at Eva and flashed a toothy grin, speaking very polietly. "Nice to meet you, Miss Eva."

“Good Lord, Wika, I told you to be good. I told you three times before we even pulled out of the drive way, then at least two times before we got here. And you shattered a bottle of alcohol all over the floor?” Cain was trying hard not to get upset with his only child. She was going to make him have high blood pressure before he was thirty.

Wika lowered her head, looking down at the floor. "Sorry..." She hated having her father upset with her. Even more than she hated sports. And she haaated sports...
"But it was right of the edge of the table and I was just trying to read what it said!"

“Wika, if it’s in a big clear bottle with a black label, you don’t need to know what it says!” Cain snapped, shaking his finger at her. “And since when does reading something involve touching it? Do I touch the road signs? No.” He watched as she hung her head, he felt bad instantly; she had that effect on him. “S’okay, just stay with me, okay? Don’t touch anything else.” He turned back to Eva. “See what I live with everyday? She’s just like Rose.”

Eva laughed a little uncomfortably- kids tended to have that effect on her- then shrugged. "You have a better iddea than I do what Rosie was like at that age."
She shut her mouth and blinked, calling Rose 'Rosie' had surprised her.

Wika looked up at her father sheepishly, an odd for a 'wolf. "Sorry, daddy..." She looked to Eva then back to Cain. "Hey, dad, what was mom like at my age? Was she really a lot like me? I'll bet she was kind of annoying, huh?"

“Yeah, Rose was a little odd,” Cain replied, looking at Eva like he really just wanted to send Wika back to her mother. He loved his daughter, but really, playing twenty questions with her got old – fast. “You’re not annoying, babe, just a little hyper. And yeah, Eva, but really, she wasn’t that different by the time you met her.”

Eva laughed. "Oooh, what's she gonna say when I tell her that?" she teased Cain, grinning widely at him

Wika continued to look from one adult to the other, listening the the conversation.
"Really? Think I'll calm down by the time I hit puberty? Do ya do ya do ya?"

He sighed; she was already trying to be all grown up on him. “Wika, honey, if daddy has anything to do with it, you aren’t going through puberty.” Cain grinned at Eva, “What will she say? More of what will she do, or won’t do, depending on her mood.”

Wikka shrugged slightly, her eyes wandering around as she got bored with the conversation. "Nnkay...Hey, Dad, I'm gonna go out to the car and find my DS, nnkay?"

“Straight to the car, straight back, no where else, got it?” Cain said, digging the keys out of his pocket. “I mean it, Wika. No where.”

Eva covered her mouth and laughed at Cain's comment about what Rose would say "I really.... REALLY shouldn't have asked." she got out between giggles.

Wika nodded repeadedly. "Mmhnn. Gottcha Daddy." She snatched the keys. "Be back in a few!" She raced off, out of the gym.

“Don’t ask me stuff you don’t want to get an honest answer too,” Cain replied, watching as his daughter scurried out of the gym. “I swear, I’m gonna have my hands full when she gets older. Rose thinks I’m over reacting, but it’s gonna happen I know it is.” He turned back to Eva. “But that’s a few years away, and I’ve got a shot gun. Or two.”

Eva sighed. There were a lot of things she wanted hinest answers to. She knew Cain would tell her, too.
But all those were Jack questions, and it wasn't fair to ask Cain. She'd have to face the music sometime, she guessed, and sometime soon

“Speaking of my better half, you haven’t seen her have you?” Cain asked, throwing a look around the gym, he hadn’t seen Rose since he’d come in, except when he saw her flag down their daughter.

"Yeah, I saw her awhile ago..." eva mumbled distractedly. When you lived in the middle of nowhere and worked out of your house, it was all too easy to get caught up in your own thoughts.

"You called?" Rose rested her chin on his shoulder from behind, holding a chilled clear bottle of Smirnoff ice in one hand. "Hey, Evie, glad you found my dear hubbie."
"Cainy, what'd our beloved, hyperactive child go?"
