Well, I had a busy couple of weeks.
The short version is I've been looking for a job, I got a job offer and I started working again. All while trying to write more so forgive me for taking some time to write and post each chapter.

Chapter 3: Alex the Terrible....Babysitter
Urgh! I wish I could just think..... HEY, WHAT IS GOING ON? MAX!
What?
How come I can think like I'm still 16?
Harper, I don't even know how we changed into babies. And you're asking me how we can think as if we are still teenagers.
This is the last time I ever try to talk to you. Knowing you, you'll just...... Ugh, forget it.
Harper....
"Okay, Alex I have the list of things I need." Justin says as he reviews the list of supplies written on the piece of paper.
"HOW LONG?" Alex asks impatiently.
"About 30-40 minutes..... If I run to and from the supermarket." Justin says as he thinks about how much time it will take.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Alex questions him. She waves her hands for him to leave. "RUN, FORREST, RUN! GO! NOW!"
Harper..... I know something we can do.
"Okay, now what to do with you two." Alex asks herself. Her face turns to a smirk as an idea comes to her. "I got it. I can't believe Justin didn't think of this. I can't wait to rub it in his face."
Alex runs out of living room, leaving Max and Harper behind. Both can hear clattering and soft thuds against the wall. The sound of a scream echoes, causing Max and Harper to scream and cry.
Why am I screaming?
To get Alex's attention. That is why babies cry, to get attention.
I thought babies cry because they pooped in their pants.
Anyway.... We have to keep Alex in our sights.
You do that.
Where are you going? MAX!
Max crawls away from Harper. Harper stops crying and watches as he crawls up the stairs to where all the bedrooms are. He walks into Alex' room and pulls on the bedsheets hanging off the side of her bed. He begins to stick the sheets in his mouth and rips the other part of the sheets in half.
Alex runs back into the living room. Her hair is blown in front of her face. She mutters about not finding the UNDO dust. She looks down and only sees Harper sitting on the couch staring at her. Her face turns white and she begins to search around the living room for Max.
"Where is Max?" Alex asks Harper. Harper only stares back at her. Suddenly, a loud banging noise is heard from the second floor and Alex' eyes grow wide.
"MAX! NO!" Alex yells.
Alex runs upstairs and opens everyone's door. She look first into Max' room. She procedes to Justin's room and finally to her room. She sees a shirt lying outside, a portion of it wet. She looks inside and a blood curdling scream echoes from the apartment to the streets and throughout the entire city. Justin winces as he is looking at baby formula, his body tingles with an electric shock and he rushes down the next aisle.
Back in Alex' room, Alex is staring down at Max. Max is now holding her bra, gumming at the strap. He doesn't notice the shadow over him until he turns and sees someone standing over him. He looks up and black, angry, intense eyes are staring down at him. He drops the bra and crawls over to the other side of the bed away from Alex.
"MMMMMAAAAAAAAXXXXXXXXX!" Alex screams.
Max' ears can't take it and he begins to cry. Alex stops screaming and winces as his cries begin to tear at her heart. She leans down to pick him up and carries him downstairs. She tries to bounce him up and down, whispers words into his ears and anything else to stop him from crying.
"Max, please stop crying." Alex begs. Max only looks at Alex's nervous face and sobs louder. Alex sits down and begins to rock him, trying to calm him.
"Please! I'm begging you." Alex pleads pointlessly. "Oooohhh!" She grabs her cellphone and dials Justin's number.
"Hello?" Justin's voice echoes from the phone.
"JUSTIN, HURRY!" Alex yells.
"ALEX! IS THAT YOU? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Justin shouts.
"MAX IS SCREAMING AND I CAN'T MAKE HIM STOP!" Alex panics.
"ALEX! I NEED YOU TO LISTEN TO ME!" Justin says loudly. Then calmly says, "Calm down. Stop yelling around Max and Harper. I'll be there...."
"HARPER, NO!" Alex screams.
"Alex? ALEX? ALEX!" Justin shouts worried.
Harper has gone to the bathroom on the couch. Alex walks back over to her and picks her up in her other arm. She looks around for something to wrap around their bodies to use as a barrier before any more accidents happen. She spots dish towels hanging on the side of the cabinet. She puts the kids down on the table and rushes to grab the towels.
She tries to take one towel and wrap it around Harper. She tries all different ways to put on the towel and none seem to work. Finally, she just wraps the towel around her waist and wipes the sweat forming on her brow. She picks up Max and wraps the other towel around his waist.
"ALEX! I'M BACK!" Justin yells as he pushes the door open. Alex lets out a silent sigh of relief
"Dad....da!" Max babbles out.
Alex' eyes go wide as Justin walks in with three paper bags in his arms. Justin looks back at her only to see her shocked face turn into an angry face. His face immediately pales as the fire in Alex' eyes grows.
Let the games and torture begin. It is only the beginning of the adventure.
READ and REVIEW.
