Adventures In Babysitting-Ch 9
Derek was playing with the kids when there came a knock at the door, Talia and Jamie ran across the floor squealing and Derek said, "I'll get it", he picked up the baby and carried her toward the door. When he opened the door he saw the smiling faces of Hotch and Jack, he stepped aside and said, "come in, come in", Jack ran in first and Talia and Jamie followed him.
Hotch pushed the dual strolled inside and said, "are you sure that you don't mind us being here"?, Derek said, "I'm positive man", Hotch grinned as looked down at his little angels and said, "I thought that maybe having them here with Olivia and Michael might be easier, ya know having us all here together". Derek said, "I agree with ya Hotch".
Derek said, "would you like something to drink"?, he said, "coffee sounds good", Derek said, "can you hold her for a minute"?, he said, "I'd love to", Derek handed the baby over before walking toward the kitchen. Hotch said, "hello princess, how are you"?, Olivia looked at him and started cooing, he said, "you are so adorable,
yes you are".
He opened his mouth to say something and there was another knock at the door, he said, "that is uncle Reid, how about we go and let him and the boys in"?, he got up and walked with Olivia to the door. He opened the door and revealed the smiling faces of Reid and Henry, he said, "come on in guys, Dereks in the kitchen and the kids are in the living room".
Henry ran by and said, "hi uncle Awwon", Hotch laughed and said, "hi Henry", Reid walked in pushing Michael in his stroller and said, "hi Olivia, how are you", she laughed as he tickled her. Hotch said, "how's everybody doing"?, Reid blew out a deep breath and said, "I had no idea just what Jayje went through on a day to day basis".
Hotch nodded his head and said, "I hear ya, I am amazed at what Emily does", Derek walked into the room and said, "hey pretty boy", Reid smiled and said, "ohhhh thank you, I need this" as he took the coffee in his hands. Derek said, "here Hotch let me take her", he took his daughter and said, "come here sweetness", he then kissed her chubby cheek and said, "how about daddy puts you in your swing"?, she yawned and Derek said, "yepppp, somebody is fighting sleep".
He walked over and put her down and turned the swing on and it was only a matter of minutes before she was peacefully sleeping, Derek said, "how about we put the babies in the portable crib and let them sleep"?, Hotch, Reid and Derek then worked to get the three babies out of the strollers and into the huge portable crib that was sitting beside the couch.
They stood there looking at the 4 sleeping kids and Derek said, "now how about that coffee"?, the men all smiled as they grabbed their cups and sat down on the couch to enjoy some guy talk. Derek said, "I had no idea what the girls did on a daily basis, did you"?, both men shook their heads and said, "no idea" in unison, Derek said, "the kids are all missing baby girl and that includes her biggest kid, me" earning a laugh from Reid and Hotch.
Hotch said, "I didn't realize that twins were so, were sooooo" and Derek said, "demanding"?, he said, "exactly, when one eats the other sleeps and then when I'm able to sit down they both start crying". Derek said, "I hear ya but Talie is a miracle worker, she is such a big help", Hotch said, "ohhhh definitley, Jack is such a big help to me".
Reid said, "Henry is great with Michael and he loves helping", Derek said, "we're lucky for sure, we have beautiful amazing wives and adorable children, what else could we ask for"?, Reid yawned and said, "right now a nap sounds good". Derek laughed and said, "I hear ya pretty boy, I hear ya" as he took another sip of his much needed coffee.
Talia walked over to her daddy and said, "can we go outside and play daddy"?, he said, "yes but please be careful", she said, "we will" and they watched as the four of them headed outside to the backyard. Hotch said, "Talia reminds me so much of Penelope", he nodded his head and said, "me 2 man, me to", Reid said, "Henry and Michael remind me of Jayje".
Hotch said, "the twins remind me of Em", Derek said, "Jackers is allllllll you Hotch, he's a little G man", Hotch grinned and said, "I'm definitley a lucky man", they nodded their heads and said, "definitely" in unison as they all glanced over their shoulders and watched as the older kids played outside in the yard.
