Prologue
Early Evening
"You're sure you're gonna be okay?" Alexis asked for the millionth time.
"We'll be fine, Lexi!" Jaden assured her again, while Jesse just rolled his eyes.
"Well, you know my cell number if you need to call me" the blonde said.
"There's no need to interrupt your romantic getaway" Jesse said with a grin. "It's only overnight, we'll be fine. You and Jim just have fun."
"I know, I know. Okay. So all you have to do is make sure they eat their dinner, pop them in a bath and then put them to bed. Breakfast in the morning and we should be back about midday."
"We got it, Lex" Jaden muttered.
Alexis just nodded again, still wary of this idea. It was her husband's birthday and it was true that she and Jim always had their hands full with their two kids, so when Jaden and his boyfriend had volunteered to baby-sit overnight, it had seemed only natural to agree to it, and she'd made all the fancy dinner plans and hotel reservations. Only afterwards did she realise she'd agreed to leave her children with two of the most irresponsible people she knew. Sure, they were great friends, but they had absolutely no experience with childcare. Damn it, she should have asked Blair to do it.
"Right. Just let me say goodbye to them and I'll go meet Jim."
Alexis dashed back inside, kissed both her kids and hugged them tight. Then she ran back up, all decked out in jewellery, and looked hard at Jaden and Jesse.
"Bed's at eight thirty, no later" she said. "And Alex will play up a bit. Just turn the lights off and don't bother with him and he'll shut up."
"We got it" the bluenette nodded.
"See you tomorrow, Alexis" Jaden said, letting her know it was time to go.
Alexis nodded once again and then went off and got in her car. She waved at the two young lovers and then drove away, leaving her kids in the dubious hands of Jesse Andersen and Jaden Yuki.
