Inexperienced Babysitter

Prologue

" What!?"

"Come on Johnny, it's only for one weekend." Susan Richards insisted on her brother Johnny storm.

Sue along with her husband Reed Richards and their other team member, Ben Grimm, were taking a trip to Washington D.C. for a private party with members of the government. Sue had just delivered her and Reed's son , Franklin, only three months before so she was in desperate need for a babysitter and she thought Johnny was the perfect candidate.

"Look Sue, I love that little guy, and as much fun as staying home the whole weekend and watching him on my own sounds I got plans this weekend with Frankie." Johnny tried to sound as eager as possible about how much fun babysitting his nephew but in reality he would never pass up a weekend alone with Frankie. Besides what did he know about kids…?

"Please Johnny cant you cancel, you are my only option we can't go to this party if you don't help me out." Sue tried again. This was a very important gathering and she knew her husband was looking forward to it.

Johnny suddenly realized they hadn't invited him. Why couldn't he go, what was wrong with him? Well sure he managed to screw up in missions sometimes but it's not like it was on purpose.

"Hey how come I can't come? Not that I would want to but it's still nice to be included."

"Don't you remember last time? It was about three weeks after the Doom thing, we were invited to a similar party. You were hitting on all of the women there!" Sue reminded Johnny.

"Oh yeah…" He remembered when he first got there he thought this was going to be the most boring party ever, but once he saw all of the beautiful women there, he thought it was going to be one hell of a party. "They were very hot!" Johnny smirks.

"They were married Johnny!" Sue quickly added. She saw her brother's smirk rapidly fall. "Their husbands don't…; well let's just say they don't intend to let that happen again."

Johnny sighed "Whatever the point is I can't cancel, I'm sorry."

Sue decided that was his final word in the matter so she gave up. Putting both her hands on her head she walked out of the living room leaving Johnny there watching her leave, she muttered something in reply. "Fine Johnny."

Ben suddenly came in the room about 5 minutes after sue walked out and he saw Johnny sitting on the couch watching a movie. He walked up to him and asked what happened with sue, acting like he didn't already know. "So matchstick what did you do to Susie now?"

Johnny rolled his eyes. Why did everybody always think he did something? Well even though his sister being mad was his fault, why did everybody assume that already? "She is mad because I won't cancel my plans with Frankie to watch Franklin this weekend."

Ben chuckled at the thought of Johnny babysitting Franklin. "Well it's probably for the best anyway."

Johnny stopped for a second and stood up face to face with Ben. "What do you mean by that?"

Ben let out a small smile, thinking to himself its working. "Well, you know if it was my kid I would never let you baby-sit him. You would have no idea what you were doing. I bet that when we would come back this house would be trashed and Franklin… well I don't want to imagine what would happen to him. Face it man you can't handle it." He explained.

That got Johnny a little irritated, he could handle a baby. It wasn't that hard of a job. He could totally handle it. So he decided he would take Ben on that bet. "Alright let's do it, the bet. I bet that when you three come back this house and Franklin will be in perfect condition. In fact I bet 50 dollars. Deal?" Johnny stuck his hand out waiting to see if Ben agreed.

Ben smirked and shook Johnny's hand. "Deal, But what about your girlfriend?"

Johnny mentally kicked himself. He was going to have to cancel on Frankie. But if it meant proving himself responsible and wining 50 dollars he could make that sacrifice. "I'll have to call and cancel right now." He took his cell phone out and began punching in numbers.

Feeling his job was done, Ben walked out of the living room to let Johnny deal with his girlfriend, smirking and walked into the kitchen and saw sue standing there anxiously waiting for Ben. "So? Did he fall for it?" She asked hopefully.

Ben laughed "Piece of cake!"
