Bela stared at her mother who had her back turned to her and giggled, placing her hands on her mouth to keep it quiet. She toddles into the kitchen and stares at the cupcakes that her mother is making and sits down, a grin on her face as she raised her hands to make the cupcakes float towards her.

"Don't even think about it," Santana said reaching over to push the cupcakes down before Bela could ruin her dinner or run off with the cupcakes. To say that her daughter was precocious would be an understatement. She was a devious little monster that had managed to get both her brother and Charlie wrapped around her fingers at such an early age. She snorts mostly to herself, she had no idea how Bela had managed that. Antonio was a softy, but Charlie didn't trust little people and he certainly didn't exactly trust Bela, but all she had to do with him was bat her eyes at him and he'd cave.

Bela huffs, and instead holds out her hands. "Mama up!"

"No," Santana says firmly. She was getting far too big for that and she knew her daughter would simply try and sneak some more food. "You forget your mom has a third eye, I can see everything in the past and present." Santana reminded her. It was an interesting ability which she tried not to hard to rely on, she didn't like how it made her feel. But it was incredibly useful when it came to parenting Antonio and stopping Bela in her tracks. It also helped her deal with her husband's fire habit. "Go find your father."

"No, mama up!" Bela shouts.

Santana tilts her head as various pots and pans begin to rise and sighs turning to her daughter whose bottom lip quivered. She sighs, but remains firm. Bela was a natural and she seemed to burn through any binding spell that they put on her abilities. It was something that worried her every day, Charlie managed to keep her abilities under control with his own, but that required a lot of concentration on his part. "Bela, we've talked about this no means no. You can't scare me with your magic," Santana reminds her.

"Mama!" Bela hiccups as the crocodile tears begin to fall. "Up!"

Santana is about to say no when Antonio arrives and scoops his baby sister up hugging her tightly as she squirms and tries to bat him away. "There's my favorite little girl," he said nuzzling her.

"Scratchy," Bela grumbles as she smacks him in the face and tries to push his face away. "Mama!"

"I agree, I thought Charlie was going to teach you to shave. I'm also certain that I told you not to use the hair growing spell on your face," Santana sighs.

Antonio shrugged, and placed Bela down watching as she quickly moves to hide behind their mother's legs. She sticks out her tongue at him and he can't help but do it in return. "Dad wants to know where the mermaid scales are."

Santana's body goes rigid for a moment. "It's in the drawer to his left. He's going to add too much, tell him to use half a cup, and to make sure that it's completely grinded to dust, before he adds it in," Santana says, the last thing she needed today of all days was for another small explosion. Antonio was supposed to be getting ready to meet with potential assistants, and she wanted everything to be perfect. This could be the one. The whole system had changed dramatically, and she was eager to see who he would choose. He was second in his class and would get to choose soon. "Also tell him to start getting ready for today, the whole family is going to be there."

"Yeah, no pressure or anything," Antonio grumbles shaking his head. It was no big deal, it was just an assistant, the assistant might not even be the one he had when he graduated, but his entire family was making it out to seem like they were going to get married or something. All because his aunts and Charlie had married assistants didn't mean he was going to. He simply wanted the best assistant. If he hadn't gotten an A- minus on his paper on Gabino's principle he'd be going first.

"It's a big deal," Santana insists. "That's why you need to make a good first impression, you really don't want to make the same impression Charlie did on me," Santana says as she picks up Bela who was getting restless. "He looked like a maniac."

"He is a maniac, and you still married him," Antonio reminds her.

Santana laughed, Antonio adored Charlie though he was beginning to see his flaws. He tried very hard to be the best father possible. He still forgot things all the time, "I did," Santana takes a cupcake and hands it to Bela who squeals loudly and begins to eat it. "I'm just happy for you, you're going to be able to find someone who might be your best friend, who you might fall in love with, who will probably keep you from blowing yourself up."

"I haven't caused an explosion in like a year!" Antonio protests turning slightly when Charlie lumbered in.

"Santana, I can't find—" he stops and looks at his family for a moment and tilts his head, before spotting the cupcakes. "Oh—"

"No."

"But—Bela has one," Charlie protests.

"Bela is two you're a grown man," Santana reminds him ignoring his pouts. "Do you remember what day it is? Your clothes are a mess."

Charlie stares at Santana, helplessly for a moment and then looks at Antonio, "Did I forget our anniversary?" He mumbles to his step-son who grins at him widely. That didn't actually answer his question.

"You married him," Antonio laughs when Santana scowls at him. "It's the day I get my first assistant."

"So, it's not our anniversary?" Charlie repeats making sure.

"Nope," Santana says with a roll of her eyes as she hands Bela off to Charlie when she makes a motion for him. "You need to get dressed Charlie and take her with you. Also tell Antonio what a big deal it is."

"You need to pick right," Charlie says first. "The best assistant might not have the best grades, you need someone like your mother. The best assistant I've ever had," Charlie nods sagely as before taking a bite of Bela's cupcake causing her to yell in outrage. "She didn't go to that fancy assistant's school."

Santana shook her head, "Go get ready and fix Antonio's face, please he's too young to have facial hair," Santana grumbled. She still had several things to do. "Also, if you're going to be making whatever it is you're making, half a cup of ground up mermaid scales you can't just throw it in, you'll cause an explosion."

Charlie huffs at this, her seer abilities meant that he couldn't experiment as often as he would like. He had just wanted to see what would happen if he didn't add in the ground scales. "Okay."

"Good, now hurry up the family is going to be here soon, and I'd like to pretend that I have a handle on all three of you." Santana says stopping and turning to Charlie who had shuffled over. She gives him a quick peck on the lips. "Go."
