Chapter Four.
Kurt
Hour three
How did he end up in this mess? First, it shouldn't be his turn yet,not for another half hour. Second, how the heck did he end up the one holding his sopping wet,squirming,naked niece? Well, the answer to that one is simple. Bobby's putting out the bathroom. Still, He didn't want to hold her. Everytime he held her bad things happened. Everytime. Just like now, she's wetting herself, in his arms, without a diaper. He complains to Bobby who rolls his eyes and tells him it wouldn't have happened if he'd gotten her dried and dressed instead of just standing there. Grumbling, he takes her into her room and quickly dresses her before she could do it again. Just as he was trying to figure out how to put on her little socks,she sneezed herself onto Rogue's bed. Sighing he walked over and picked her back up, why do people think babies are cute anyway? As far as he can tell, all they do is make messes,start fires, and terrorize their uncles... or maybe that was just his niece.
He waits for Bobby to finish up,because someone has to let Bobby out of Rogue's room, unlocking the door would be bad. They both saw the note. They shouldn't even be in here. If she found out,they would be dead. It said so. It was time to go. Grabbing Bobby and the stack of extra diapers, he teleported them back to the living room. He tried to hand Kaitie back then but Bobby refused,pointing out that she was almost asleep and that one of them should read the binder.
After a few minutes of silence Bobby exclaimed " You have got to be kidding me! This thing is crazy detailed. There are instructions on everything. And clearly Kitty didn't read it, cause it says right here in bathing section 2 ' never try to get Kaitie to lay down to wash her hair. It frightens her. Instead use the small cup next to the tub. Gently pour the water slowly over her hair,making sure to not get it in her face' If she had read this,she wouldn't have made Kaitie cry trying to lie her down." Kurt blinks at him,and he continues " And clearly she ignored this part.' Feedings,under lunch,it says on Tuesday she is having carrots. But she clearly had peas,which she's not supposed to until Thursday". Kurt continues to stare. Why did Bobby even care if Kitty fed Kaitie the wrong thing on the wrong day? It didn't really matter. He wasn't the one who had done it. Or the one that had given her a bath. Couldn't he just focus on staying alive for the next three hours. Apparently not, because he's now quoting from sleep schedules. Whatever. Kurt stopped listening awhile ago. Bobby kept going on and on. Kurt was tired of holding the baby so he set her on the rug, At any moment she could decide to light something on fire. Again. Before that could happen,he needed to get out of here. Bobby wasn't paying attention though. Now he was going on about medicines, or something. Wait what was that,something about him helping keep her still?! What,NO WAY was he trying to hold her down. This was the kind of thing that could only end in fires. He hated fires. No amount of money in the world could make him hold her down it just wasn't happening Bobby had to be crazy if he thought that- wait what was that? Oh all he had to do was tickle her Okay he could do that,probably,maybe. As long as she didn't cry.
Kurt approached the baby in the same fashion you would approach a wild animal. A wild animal stuck in a trap. He carefully reached out with a single finger and tickled her chin,jumping back almost the moment he had touched her. Luckily,she seemed to find this funny and she began chattering and squealing at him, with a huge smile on her face. Bobby snuck the gum stuff in her mouth while she watched Kurt begin to freak out. Because squealing sounds a lot like crying. When you're freaking out . So as is now the expected response, Kurt begins screaming himself. Causing Bobby to roll his eyes, and Kaitie to squeal even louder.
Bobby
She seemed to think Kurt's screaming was funny. Bobby just thought it was annoying. It had been weeks of this. Sure their first encounter with Kaitlyn had been terrifying, but that was because it was unexpected. Kurt really needed to pull himself together. Everyone in the house was tired of it. Sighing, Bobby picked Kaitie up and walked out of the living room, because he was tired of having to calm Kurt down. So he would adopt this 'cry it out' method he had heard Rogue telling Logan she would never use the other night. Secretly, he'd been glad to hear she wouldn't be using it. Kaitie. Being left to cry. At all. Ever. That WAS something to scream over. Maybe it could work for other babies, he hadn't been paying enough attention to know,but not Kaitie. In fact, the only reason he'd heard any part of the conversation was because he had heard the words Kaitlyn and Cry. No one wants Kaitlyn to cry. Ever. That's why the only one in the entire house who ever said no to her, ever, was Rogue. Because for some crazy reason she wasn't afraid of fire.
Bobby took the baby into the family room and turned on cartoons,thinking it may distract her. The binder had said something about some show, but he couldn't remember which one, because Kurt had been whinning at the time. He thought about going back for the binder, but he could still hear Kurt yelling. Heck they probably heard Kurt yelling all the way over at the Brotherhood house. The brotherhood! Why hadn't he thought of it before. He could call Wanda and she could tell him what show they baby liked. And maybe she would offer to watch Kaitie. Not that he was hoping that she would. Because that would be wrong. Now all he had to do was find the number.
Bobby had just found the number not in Kitty's address book, because if had that would imply that he had gone through her stuff. That would be wrong. Besides if he had wanted to look in her address book he would have had to know where she kept it. And knowing that she keeps it in her underwear drawer next to her diary,which he has never read, would imply that he had snooped through her things before. Especially if he was able to locate it,copy the number from it, and return it moving nothing else while she was down the hall in the shower. So no that was not where he got the number. He got it from Jubilee,if anyone asked. Why Jubilee would have the number,or how he could get it from her when she left her cell phone behind this morning would be pointless to ask. He dialed the Brotherhood house and Toad answered. He began to explain what he needed,but as soon as he mentioned the baby,Toad started screaming. Honestly, what was wrong with these guys? She's only a freakishly scary fire starter with a short temper. Okay now he was freaking himself out,so he needed not to think about it. He'd just turn on Spongebob,and hope that was right.
