Sam, I said STOP. 

*the toddler freezes, blinks at Ravi, then lower lip starts wobbling* 

That look isn’t getting you anywhere, but good try. 

*and there’re tears starting ip, tears, and then crying* 

*frowns a little half because he’s frustrated and half because t’s hard to watch* Cry it out, kiddo.  Maybe it’ll work the sugar out of your system.

*she comes closr as she cries, demanding his attention, tugging at his leg but Ravi doesn’t move, out of the corner of his eye, he sees Serena pop into th room, all concerened and wide eyed but as soon as they make ye contact, h shakes his head so she doesn’t come rushing to Sam’s rescue. and she bites her lip and just hovers in the doorway a bit...* 

*but something does click in Ravi and he sighs a bit. He moves off of the sofa and to sit next to her, taking the crying toddler into his lap*

I’m sorry for yelling at you, okay? Let’s stop bawling before we need to take swimming lessons. *quieter, rubbing her back* But you need to understand that no means no, okay? You hurt Daddy’s feelings by not listening to him.

You hurt my feelings. *a sniffly Sam replies*

Looks like we need to call Mommy so she can kiss us both better, yeah? What, why’re you pulling that face? *pokes hr nose* Are you a pig?

*Sam giggles a bit and scrunches it up more* No kisses. I want a cookie.

*Ravi actually laughs at that* You’re a conniving little thing, aren’t you? Trying to get a cookie out of this, tsk. *tickles Sam, who squirms in his lap shrieking ‘Daddy, no!’*

*Serena smiles at them before pushing away from the doorframe and heading back into the kitchen*
