"Marc." You whispered as Marc looked up from his newspaper and looked at you.
He could already see you were tearing up, he rushed over to you and knelt at your height.

"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" He asked as you began to sob, he looked at you in shock and wrapped his arms around you.

"Baby, it's okay. Shh, I've got you." He whispered as you cried and gripped onto him.

"I'm sorry." You whispered through your cries.

"Shh, love. It's okay, tell me what's wrong." He whispered, pulling away to wipe away your tears.

"I lost Steven's book." You whispered as you cried softly.

"It's okay, love. Which book was it?" He asked as you hiccuped through your sobs.

"He got me a book a few weeks ago, b-but I misplaced it. I think I lost it when we went shopping. I didn't mean to." You cried as you began hitting your hands against your head.
Marc quickly grabbed your hands to stop you from hurting yourself.

"Baby, please don't do that." He said softly as you cried, he could see you were at the beginning of a meltdown.

"I'm so stupid!" You screamed as he gripped your hands a bit tighter.

"Sweetheart, look at me." Marc commanded softly as you looked at him, still sobbing.

"Remember what daddy taught you? When you've got all these built-up emotions you can release them by punching your pillow and crying, okay? You're not in trouble, Steven understand, baby. And we'll even help you find a new one." He reassured as you nodded, you ran off to your room and he waited for a bit for you to get all of your pent-up rage out.
Marc understood that sometimes your emotions could get too much, you were still young and learning.
He hated calling them tantrums, because maybe they seemed small to him but in your mind it was overwhelming and everything around you was scary.
So he tried his best to stay calm for you and help you through it, instead of punishing you for it. 
After about five minutes you ran back out to where Marc was sitting on the floor waiting, you leaped onto him and hugged him tightly.

"Feeling better?" He whispered, wrapping his arms around you in return.

"Yeah, thank you. Can I talk to Steven?" You whispered as he smiled and let Steven take over.

"Hey, love." He said as you pulled away and looked at him.

"I'm sorry for losing the book." You whispered as he smiled and held your cheek in his hand.

"It's alright, sweetheart. I promise. These things happen and it's okay. How about tomorrow we go pick out a brand new one?" Steven asked as you smiled and nodded excitedly.

"Yes, please!" You replied making him chuckle and kiss your forehead.

"Sounds like a perfect idea."
