Babysitting

"Oh, you're such a godsend," Heidi gushed to Lester, as she passed her nine month child to the man, "I mean, with Carlos and Stephanie being out of town and Daddy and Papa are out sailing, I didn't know who to call!"

Lester waved Heidi's compliments off and said, "Please, as her God Uncle, I am honored that you chose to call me after everyone else, besides, I love Sammy, she's so sweet!"

Hearing her name the nine month old looked up at Lester and said, "Gah?" patting his cheek with her hand.

"That's right, you get to spend the evening with Uncle Lester," Lester cooed to Sammy, earning a smile from the baby, "You are so cute!"

Heidi smiled at Lester and said, "Thank you so much, there are diapers in here, along with her sippy cup, her blankie, several changes of clothes, her favorite snacks and her children videos and some toys."

Heidi leaned forward and kissed Sammy on a pudgy cheek cooing, "Okay, little one, Mommy has to go take Deda to the special hospital, he has a real bad boo-boo, I'll be back later tonight to get you, behave for Uncle Lester okay?"

Sammy let out a squeal, grabbing at her mother's hair and tugging hard. Heidi let out a yelp of pain and said, "Mommy's hair is not a toy, sweetums, but I will take your squeal as a yes, and leave you right now, Deda might be dead right now."

"What did he do?" Lester asked, bouncing Sammy in his arms.

"He's gone into hardcore fatherhood mode, he was trying to build a playhouse for Sammy, and cut off his arm, but don't worry, the hospital I'm taking him to specializes in limbs that have been accidentally cut off, we'll be there for a while…" Heidi said watching Lester's face etch with horror, "Don't worry, Diesel will be fine, I have to go now, bye!" And then Heidi was off, leaving Lester and Sammy, who was waving good bye to her mother.

Lester walked back in his apartment and said, "Okay, Sammy, what would you like to do?"

"HAH!" Sammy yelped, wiggling in Lester's arms, making the man put her down on the floor, "Hah! Hah! Hah!"

Lester scratched his head, watching Sammy crawl over to her diaper bag and tug at the shoulder straps, yelling, "Hah! Hah! Hah!"

"Okay….let's watch some sports, you know, like some baseball," Lester said, picking up Sammy and sitting on his couch with the baby in his lap.

Sammy pointed to the diaper bag and said, "Hah!" her face serious.

"Okay, okay," Lester said, placing Sammy on his couch and going over to the diaper bag, "What is hah, Sammy."

"Hah!" Sammy squealed, grabbing the diaper bag and pulling out a stuffed ferret, "Hah!"

"Oh, Harriet the ferret," Lester said, watching Sammy chew on the toy's ear, "I forgot, now, are you ready for some baseball?"

"Hah!" Sammy said, smiling at Lester, kicking her bare feet.

"I'll take that as a yes," Lester said, before he sat back down and turned the TV on, "Okay, time for some baseball."

The two sat in silence for an hour before Sammy began to fuss, kicking her legs and whining, chewing on Harriet. Lester turned to his charge and asked, "What's wrong, Sammy?"

Sammy looked up at Lester and said, "Huh….." in a small voice, before pointing to the diaper back.

"Uh oh, I think someone is hungry," Lester said, reaching into the bag and taking out a baggie full of cheerios, watching Sammy's eyes light up, "Okay, snack time and then we're going out for dinner."

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

"Santos!" Lester turned his head and watched as Bobby, Cal and Hal walked over to him, their eyes on Sammy, "When were you going to tell us that Sammy was here?"

"Oh, I didn't think I was going to leave my apartment, so I really wasn't thinking about you guys, but….Heidi had to take Diesel to the hospital and I'm watching Sammy for a while."

"Where are you two going now?" Cal asked, plucking Sammy from Lester's arms, so he could hold her.

"We're about to head down to the garage and go out and get some dinner," Lester said, taking Sammy from Cal, "We were going to go get pancakes."

"Cah!" Sammy said, her body perking up at the word pancake, "Cah, cah, cah!"

"Oh, well, we're going to join you two, cause, it's not every day that Sammy comes to Rangeman," Hal said, plucking Sammy from Lester so he could strap her into the car seat that was inside the black SUV, "And plus, we all love pancakes!"

Lester rolled his eyes, looking at the men who clambered into the SUV, "Guys, I really don't think…."

"Nonsense, we're all going to go, IHOP here we come!" Bobby said, sitting beside Sammy's car seat.

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`)

"Hey….what's that smell?" Cal asked, on the drive back from IHOP, "Dude, it smells like road kill…."

"You're right, it does…." Bobby said, rolling down the window, "Wait….it's coming from inside the SUV…"

Hal turned to Sammy, who was sitting completely still, her face crunched up and little grunts coming from her. Hal leaned over and took a whiff at Sammy and reeled back exclaiming, "It's Sammy! She smells like road kill! Holy shit, she's taking a major dump!"

"Roll the windows down!" Cal exclaimed, rolling his window down, "Roll them all down!"

Lester let out a gag and said, "How can someone that cute and tiny give off a smell like that!"

Sammy gave a little cackle of glee, chewing her on her stuffed toy's ear.

Bobby looked behind Sammy's back and shouted, "Holy shit! It's spreading! The poo is spreading! It's all over her bottom and in the car seat! Code brown men! The poop is escaping!"

"Poo!" Sammy squealed, moving her bottom on her car seat.

"Hey! Don't do that!" Hal said, watching Sammy move in her seat, "Hurry up Santos, she needs a bath ASAP!

"I'm driving as fast as I can damn it all! Sammy! Stop it! We just got these SUVs cleaned!"

"POOOOO!" Sammy screamed, kicking her feet and laughing loudly, before pausing to fart.

"Eww!"

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`)

"It's still a little discolored," Diesel muttered to his wife, looking down at his pale arm, "I'll look like a damn fool."

"It's not my fault, I told you she was too young for a play set," Heidi said, as they walked up to Lester's apartment door and knocked on it, "Besides, Dr. Plant said in a few days, the blood will circulate through the arm and you won't look like a damn fool."

Heidi frowned knocking on the door again, "Strange where is Lester?" she asked before she tried to open the door, only to find the door unlocked, "they must be busy…"

Heidi and Diesel walked into Lester's apartment and Heidi let out a soft, "Awww…." Seeing Sammy wide awake, watching cartoons, while Lester, Hal, Cal and Bobby lay on the couch and floor, fast asleep, they all smelt of Sammy's baby wash. Sammy turned to see her mother and father and said, "Deda! Ma!" clapping her hands and smiling.

"Okay," Diesel said, going around and picking up Sammy's things and placing them back into the diaper bag, "Time to be quiet, baby, your uncles are sleeping."

Heidi picked up Sammy and sniffed her deeply, "You smell good, Sammy, Uncle Lester was nice enough to give you a bath, he's such a good baby sitter, we'll have to ask him to watch you again, right?"

Sammy smiled, hugging her mother's neck. As she was carried out of Lester's apartment, she waved goodbye to Lester's sleeping form and said, "Bye-bye!"

"They must have had a busy night," Diesel said closing the door to Lester's apartment, "All of them are fast asleep didn't even move as we packed up, Sammy must have had them busy all night!"

"She must have," Heidi said, looking down at her child, who yawned and closed her eyes, "Now it's time for bedtime and then you and I, Diesel, are going to talk about what happens when you go into hardcore fatherhood mode….."
