Thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming!
A few days have gone by and Monica spoke more with Joey about what Kyle has done in the past to his nannies.
But what he almost got away doing to her was even worst. Gluing the seat so that when she got up it rips her pants. Luckily someone sat in her seat right before she got there. He panted the parking lot a handy cap spot so they got towed, he even put frog eggs in their tea that they almost drank.
One day, Monica had enough and decided to get even.
They rode the subway out of the city on their way back home.
Monica's hand rested on the baby carrier with the other on the railing.
Kyle stood as he saw her eyes closed. He quietly grabbed the handcuffs out of his coat and chained it to the railing first. As he carefully brought it up to Monica's hand he was caught.
Monica quickly grabbed Kyle's hand and handcuffed him to the seat. "Hey!" He yelled. He went into his coat pocket to grab the key. "Eat chain."
Monica was faster and grabbed the key before him "Better hope you can otherwise.."
"You can't leave me here!"
"That was your plan for me wasn't it? Strap me down and make me ride around for hours and hours."
He sighed and spoke quietly "I would have came back..." He paused "Eventually."
"You know I'm not like the others. I haven't quit in my entire life." She told him
"Oh yeah? Tae kwan do."
Monica stood up "Five beta kappa."
"You aren't my mom." He shot at her "You can't tell me what to do!" He shouted
"No you're right. I'm not your mom." Monica raised her voice "Look, I'm sorry your dads not here and you're stuck with me. But that's just the way it is. Like it or not I'm not going anywhere, but your attitude better cause I'm not taking it anymore."
Kyle exhaled sharply, defeated.
Monica rolled her eyes and gave him back the key before their stop came and she picked up Jordan going towards the door.
That night, Tuesday night, as Monica was on the phone with her brother Ross, telling him about her new job. She was interrupted by Kyle running in in his blue robe and slippers. "Excuse me Ms. Geller. Don't touch anything." He said running straight past her and to her closet.
Monica saw Chandler walking in right after him "Um Ross, I'll call you back." She hung up before continuing her attention with the little boy and what he was doing.
Chandler walked up beside Monica and told her what this was all about "I spoke with Joey and he told me all that has been going on with Kyle." He said
Monica nodded "They are just harmless, nothing too server."
"I talked to him about this and I hope he will change."
She shrugged "Kids will be kids."
Kyle came out of the closet with a bucket of paint and a rope. He rushed over to her dresser drawer and opened it only to be splattered with ketchup.
Kyle chuckled innocently as he took out the rotten eggs before walking out the room.
Chandler shoved his hands in his pockets as he sat down on the bed. Once he made contact the bed broke and Chandler was on the floor in syrup.
Monica tried to hide her smile as she knelt down and helped clean it up.
Kyle, who was just outside the door saw this "Man! I knew I forgot one." He said to himself
Chandler stood up in a sticky mess. "I'm sorry about this." He apologized
Monica just continued to clean up without a reply.
Chandler grabbed a rag from the bathroom then knelt down and helped her. "So are you still telling me that Kyle hasn't done anything too bad?"
Monica cracked a smiled "Like I said, kids will be kids." She repeated standing up
Chandler stood up after her "How about a day off. Saturday?" He asked
She smiled "That would be nice. Thanks."
Saturday seemed like forever as Friday morning came when Monica got Jordan ready. "And you put your arm through here..." Monica guided as she dressed him. "And we're all set." She smiled lifting him up.
"Monica?"
She looked towards the door and saw Kyle standing there.
"Yeah?"
Not knowing why he called out her name he replied with a simple, but not that important, question "Do you always have your hair up like that?" He asked
Monica laughed "No, not always." She smiled knowing that ever since she got here her hair was hardly ever down, not wanting it to get pulled by Jordan or caught in any pranks.
"You should put it down sometime. I know I don't like my hair up."
Monica smiled and walked towards him "Well your a boy."
He shrugged
"What do you want to do today?" She asked as they all walked downstairs to the kitchen.
"Can we go to the park?" He asked "I never really get to go to the park. Dad never has a lot of time when he gets home."
Monica felt bad that a young kid that should be at the park almost everyday, hardly goes at all. "Of course we can go." She told him "You wanna walk there?"
"Walk?" He questioned "We have Joey to drive us."
"Yeah, but lets not use Joey today. Let's just walk, enjoy the summer air." She smiled
Kyle was really warming up to Monica. She wasn't like his other nannies he had. She was more fun and outgoing that he could actually talk to her instead of pulling pranks. That was something that he liked. After their talk on the subway he knew that maybe she was right; that he better change because it didn't look like she was leaving anytime soon. And, when he didn't pull pranks he saw that she wasn't as bad as the others, she was actually really nice.
Later in the day Monica packed up Jordan's stroller that has never been used and Kyle got on his shoes. "You ready?" She asked as they walked out the door.
"Yep." He smiled really excited to be a kid for once.
Joey saw them coming out and opened up the car door. "We are gonna walk." Monica told him
Shocked, Joey nodded and smiled at the change of behavior. They opened the gate for them as they walked out.
Monica turned the corner and started to walk down the street.
"Monica..." Kyle said softly. Monica looked over at him "I've never walked down a crowded street like this."
Monica let go of the stroller with one hand and reached down for his "It's fine. Just stay close." She told him
Kyle hated holding hands, expectually in public. But now it didn't feel weird and childish.
As they neared the park Kyle immediately let go of Monica's hand and ran to the slides.
Monica walked over to the picnic table and got Jordan out of his stroller. She spread out a blanket on the grass and put a few toys down for Jordan to play. Just yesterday he started to crawl and Monica knew that that might be something Mr. Bing would have wanted to see. She had called him but got no answer. He was at a meeting all night. Of course when they got home the kids were already in bed and when they woke up he was already gone. Joey was right, Chandler never had as much time as he would like with them.
Monica sat down by Jordan as she watched him crawl to the edge of the blanket.
Kyle watched as Monica played with his little brother. She taught him how to crawl just the day before and he thought that was cool. How such a little baby can be taught without needing to go to school.
Monica looked up at Kyle and saw him staring over at her. She smiled and looked back at Jordan on the grass.
They were at the park for hours before they decided to go back home. Kyle had a really good time and couldn't wait for tomorrow to come. "What are we going to do tomorrow Monica?" He asked as he held onto the stroller when they crossed the street.
"I'm not watching you tomorrow. I have the day off." She told him
Kyle's expression changed and he wasn't as excited. "Who is gonna watch me?"
"Well your dad decided to take the day off."
Kyle smiled halfheartedly. He was really excited that he was able to see his dad but a part of him wanted to hang out with Monica and play fun games.
This is not at all relevant to the chapter besides I won't be able to write for a while if you wanna skip it.
Please review and let me know if you like it or not! I have an idea of what to write for the next chapter but I don't have hardly anytime today or tomorrow to write. I need to go for a run in just a few minutes then of course shower, after that my sister is coming over to start getting ready for my homecoming dance, she is doing my hair and makeup. I won't get back until 10. Right when I get home I'm gonna need to shower again and go straight to bed because the next day I'm getting up at 5 to drive to Chicago for the Color Run at 6:30-8 is getting situated then it starts at 9. That would take a couple hours. Takes an hour to get home...then the football game is being hosted at my house so everyone would be here, won't be able to write then...but Monday I'm free! Besides school of course.
Let's just say this week was by far the busiest! You should have seen it!
