"No, no way.  You're not getting a two piece."  Claire crossed her arms under her breasts, trying the stern look that her own parents had perfected it as she aimed it on her younger target.

"Oh Claire, come on."  Molly Walker groaned in a disappointed fashion, resisting the urge to stomp her foot though she certainly didn't hold back on the pouting.  "It's purple."  She whined a bit as she looked at the bathing suit she had been eying.  As far as she was concerned, it was cute and it didn't show as much flesh as some of Claire's two pieces.

"That's fine and dandy but it's a two piece, Molly.  I doubt that's what Mohinder and Matt had in mind when they agreed to let me take you shopping for a new bathing suit or two."  Claire shook her head.   Usually she enjoyed her time with the young girl but sometimes it could be tricky.

"We don't have to tell them?"  The younger girl offered hopefully.

"Have you forgotten that one of your dads is a mind reader?"  Claire arched a brow at Molly, watching the younger girl's shoulders slump in realized defeat as she sighed.

It went much deeper than just a debate over a two piece or a one piece though and they both knew it.  Molly was wise beyond her years after all, they both were and she knew it was more than the fact that her dads would disapprove over the outfit.  It wasn't like she was asking to wear a barely there bikini.  It was a two piece that showed a little bit of her tummy and that was it pretty much.  No racier than any of her one pieces that she got to wear and it was cute!

"Claire, why don't you want me to wear the two piece?"  Molly asked, tilting her head as she assessed the older girl.

The older girl in question pursed her lips as she felt she had definitely been caught in some act.  "I just...think you should stick to a one piece."  She offered lamely, wetting her lips.

"How old were you when you wore your first two piece?"

"I was fifteen, at least."  Claire smirked a little because that certainly wouldn't help to prove Molly's point or help her win the victory.  "But you have to keep in mind who my dad is."

"Claire...."  Molly rolled her eyes, a touch indignant because she didn't like being treated like a child and Claire rarely did it.  So she knew it was something deep.

"Okay, okay."  Claire looked around with a sigh before she focused back on the younger girl.  "I just think you should stick to a one piece because...I don't want you to be in such a hurry to grow up."

"Claire."  Now Molly's tone was softer as her eyes grew warmer.  This was a constant bond between the two of them; the fact that the two of them had to grow up before their time.

"You've still got a chance to be a kid, Mols and you should definitely take it."  Claire reached out, gently brushing her fingers against Molly's temple as she caught a piece of her hair to tuck it back behind her ears.  "You've already got a boyfriend and you talk about kisses."  She had to smile as the other girl blushed a bit.  "You've already experienced so much more than a lot of girls your age had to.  I just want you to slow down a bit, that's all."
"Claire, just because I want a two piece doesn't meant I'm going to become an adult suddenly."  Molly pointed out but they both knew she was.  Molly was the smallest adult that any of them knew.   "It's just really pretty, and it's purple."  She tried the little bit of a whine again as she took the two piece off of the hanger and showed it to her.
Sighing softly, Claire knew she was fighting a losing battle as she eyed the two piece.  It was rather cute and the top was more of a tube top style rather than the style of the bikinis she wore at times.  Plus the little skirt like ruffles over the bottom made it look more like a skirt which was...acceptable.  She knew if she was Molly's age, she would want to wear it.   "There is two things you must to agree to first."

Molly started to bounce excitedly.  "Like what?"

"One, you have to get your dads' approval on the two piece and two, no wearing it around Ryan?  I don't feel like having your dads glare at me while they're glaring at Ryan for looking at you in a two piece."  Claire chuckled softly.

Molly mulled over the deal.  "Fine."  She could agree to it now but deals could always be negotiated.  Plus her dads were a little less immune to the pout and the whine.  She was sure she could get them to agree to the two piece and wearing it whenever she wanted.  "Deal."

"Good, and you need to get a one piece just in case."  Claire nodded, looking around.

"Thank you, thank you, and thank you."  Molly beamed, throwing her arms around Claire's waist as she hugged her tightly in the excitement of getting the two piece.

The blonde had to smile as she enjoyed the hug, returning it tightly while rubbing a hand over her back.  "You're welcome.  Now let's find another suit, we can try them out when we get back to the Hamptons."

"Okay!  We should see how long we can stay under water."  Molly beamed as they started towards the area where they had the one pieces.  Suddenly she looked up, sliding her free hand into the other girl's.  "Claire?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."  Molly said it quite seriously, her features soft.

Claire felt the sharp little tug that came at her heart, nodding a little while her own features softened and she squeezed the girl's hand.  "I love you too, Mols."
