Sofia the First: Calista

Chapter 2: One Year Old

*One Year Later*

I grumbled to myself as I slid my hand down my face. I had really hoped Cordelia would have gotten the message when Calista was first born that I wasn't going to babysit the child. I loved her but I was a busy sorcerer! Why hadn't mom and dad volunteered to babysit, it wasn't like they were doing anything important in their retirement while they lived in Mystic Meadows. All they had to do was enjoy life while I took father's place as a royal sorcerer.

Sighing, I ran a hand trough my platinum silver bangs. There wasn't anything I could do now; getting my sister to listen to me was far beyond possible. She never did listen while we were growing up together and when it came to our teenage years I practically realized it was impossible to get reason and logic into her. This was indeed Cordelia's personality: Stubborn and impossible.

Deciding to get ready for my niece's visit, I began to put away empty beakers and extra wands into a cabinet. I knew Cordelia would get onto me if I didn't clean the Workshop up a little. The last thing I needed was a lecture on how to keep a baby clear from objects that could them into lizards or spiders. A grin came to face as I imagined Cordelia's expression if she had learned that Calista got turned into a creepy crawly. I could hear her famous scream now.

After a chuckle had escaped my lips I took a broom out of the closet to sweep the floor. While that would have been amusing to see her horrid face I knew that it would be the last time I would ever see Calista again if the incident did become a reality and I didn't want to be shut out of Calista's life forever.

Once the Workshop was swept and cleaned I hoped it would be deemed worthy for Calista to roam the room but then being a year old now she probably wouldn't do much. Usually, a baby of Calista's age would just want to be held, I didn't know if the little girl was walking yet.

With the chores done I sat down at my desk to rest and wait for my sister to show up. I glanced towards Wormwood who was sitting at his perch and grooming himself. I hoped I wouldn't have to worry about Wormy behaving himself but then the bird hadn't seen a baby before. When I had went to my parent's cottage for Calista's birth Wormwood had stayed behind in the Workshop. The bird was usually quiet and could behave himself. If I was lucky maybe the bird would ignore Calista.

In just a few minutes Cordelia came in with the quiet baby and the diaper bag. She sat the bag down next to the potion cabinet and pointed out objects that were in the bag "Well, here is everything Calista needs Cedric, I packed one or two bottle, diapers and wipes, and some toys. If she runs out of milk here some instructions on how to make it, the formula is in the bag as well." She then handed me the paper that contained the instructions she had mentioned and cuddled the sleeping baby in the carriage while I looked at the paper.

"You behave for Uncle Cedric, Calista." She whispered, gave the baby a kiss on its bald head and left, thanking me for babysitting.

Once Cordelia was out of the Workshop I glanced at the sleeping baby and smiled that familiar smile that first appeared when Calista was born. "Well, it looks like it's just you and me Calista." I whispered but then Wormwood landed on my shoulder and gave an annoyed look making me remember he was here too. "And Wormy too." The bird then gave me a satisfied nod, glad that he was not forgotten.

Silence returned to the Workshop once I began to get back to work on my potions. The silence gave me peace and quiet that I loved so much but then I think baby Calista was enjoying it too even though she was asleep.

Not long after I finished my work on a potion did Calista begin to wake and cry. It was a sound that I remembered being very unpleasing ever since the twin royals was born a couple years ago. After a minute of thinking a horrible smell began to fill the air. I knew exactly what that smell was; it would seem Calista need to be changed.

Picking up a blanket, I spread it out on the floor then picked up the crying baby then laid her on the soft blanket. I grabbed the wipes and the diaper and set them next to me. Before I began the process of the changing her diaper a thought came to me. Did I even know how to change a diaper? It has seemed I had forgotten to ask Cordelia about that.

Hoping for the best, I began to remove the dirty diaper then grabbed the wipes to clean her. I won't go into details but once I put the dirty objects aside I picked up the clean diaper and began to look at it curiously. "Now, how do I do this?' I muttered to myself then looked toward my pet that seemed to be enjoying the scene before him. "I don't suppose you know how to change a diaper do you Wormy?" The bird said nothing. "Perhaps, you would like to do this." I suggested having a smirk come to my face. Wormwood turned away, having that as his answer. Some friend he was!

I looked back to the strange object in my hands and began to unfold the diaper then lifted Calista's bottom to put the diaper on.

Once the clean diaper was sealed on her I picked up the baby to observe my work. It didn't look exactly as the previous diaper did but at least Calista stopped crying. "Oh Calista, either Uncle Cedric needs to get diaper changing lessons or have Grandma babysit you until your potty trained."

The baby giggled a bit then began to reach out for my bangs. It would have seemed she was drawn to my hair. Deciding to let her observe my hair I brought her closer, when small fingers touch my bans she began to play with it. "Do you like my bangs? If you knew how growing up works you'd probably think I was getting old. Well, not now anyway."

All of a sudden I felt her tug at it making me wince from the pain. Removing a hand I freed the strand of hair from her hands. I know she didn't mean it but the action did make me glare at her. "Don't ever pull my hair Calista." I said as I sat her down on the floor gently.

I wasn't sure what to do next. After changing her diaper and letting her mess with my hair I watched her as the baby lay on her back looking at me. Should I play with her? I wasn't sure how, if I had remembered correctly I remember when I watched the deceased queen play with the twins when they were Calista's age. She would tickle them and play 'Pick a Boo'

Giving it a shot, I tickled her stomach and to my success she giggled a little. Having that as my cue that she wanted to play, I tickled her some more then before I knew it I was pulling her shirt up a bit and began blowing on her stomach. This seemed to really make her happy so /I continued to do it,

After a few hours of playing she began to start crying again. What did she want now? I had already changed her diaper. Looking towards the diaper bag again I picked up a bottle full of milk and gave it to her. It had seemed she had wanted it, so after she held her hands out I picked her up, sat in a chair and fed her.

With Calista in my arms she began to doze and before I knew it I was too. It would have seemed taking care of this baby had tired me out.

When I woke up again Cordelia was shaking me awake. I rubbed my eyes and when I looked at her she looked amused. "Aw, Uncle Cedric looked cozy with a baby in his arms." I rolled my eyes at her. "You could use practice changing babies Cedric."

"Yeah well, I never changed a diaper before. So I guess either you or mom teach me or you have mom babysit." I crossed my arms seeing that amused look still on her face.

"Nice try Cedric but when I come to Enchancia, you're the babysitter." She said poking me in the chest.

Before I could say anything more Cordelia placed sleeping Calista in her seat, picked up the diaper bag and left with a smile on her face. Somehow, Cordelia had made it her plan to torture me every time she wanted to come to Enchancia. Sighing, I made a mental note in my head to ask mother to show me how to change diapers. If there was anything I would be glad for, it would be the day when Calista was potty-trained!

A/N: I hoped you liked this chapter. I tried to make it as cute as possible.
