Chapter 10

Kelly eased Maria out of her car seat and balanced her on her hip. Alex pulled a sleeping Matt and Michael out and tried to silently close the door. Not as easy as it sounds. The door slammed shut, waking both babies. Kelly chuckled as Alex juggled both babies while he tried to pull the keys from his front pocket. He motioned to Kelly and she happily slid her hand into his pocket, gently squeezing while she got the chance. Alex jumped a little, shocked at the sudden touch. Kelly grinned and pulled the pocket out, quickly ramming it into the keyhole.

They had decided that thy could set up three cribs in the spare room and not the room they had planned to put their child. Kelly then suggested leaving the cribs there and using them for guests, since they were godparents to five little wrigglies, they intended to have them over a lot. Alex agreed, telling her they could paint it that week since they wouldn't be going anywhere.

Alex ran upstairs to set up the third crib and left Kelly with the three babies. Matt and Michael continued to sleep so she placed them on the sofa. Making sure they couldn't roll off, she placed pillows between them and the edge, all while balancing a giggly Maria in her arms. She switched on the television, tuning straight to the music channel and doing the same she did with Layla's children. She moved the small coffee table and lifted Maria above her head, swirling her around in the air.

"Who's a little sweetheart?!" She added, blowing raspberries on the small child's stomach. When Maria let out a piercing giggle she brought her back down. Kelly sat on the small narrow chair with Maria sitting in her lap, her head resting against Kelly's belly. Kelly grabbed the remote, scanning the recording on their television. She picked the correct one and pressed play. She watched a previous recording of RAW, the one where Ted and Maryse won the Mixed Tag Titles. Maria stopped for a second, playing with her fingers. As soon as Maryse's music hit on the TV screen, Maria looked up as if she knew the song. She started clapping wildly, a smile stretched across her dainty face. Maria started to bounce up and down, pointing at the TV.

"Is that your mommy?!" Kelly pretended, playing along with the bouncy baby. Maria clapped, still watching the screen. Kelly watched closely but when Maryse got slapped and fell out of the ring, Maria's bottom lip began to shake. Kelly kept the baby on her knee.

"Look Maria! Look at Daddy!" Maria turned to look at Kelly funny. Kelly chuckled at the confused baby that was sitting on her knee. Maria started to get excited again as The Mix on the match, immediately running out to help Maryse. Maria squirmed, reaching out to the TV, trying to get to her Mom and Dad.

Alex stood in the hallway, watching the whole situation play out. He watched as Kelly talked in a soothing tone, as if that kind of speech was making Maria understand what she was saying. Alex saw that unfamiliar glaze across her eyes. She only saw that when she was near children. Matt began to cry, bringing Alex out of his little bubble quite abruptly. He waltzed over to him, cradling him in his arms. Michael was the only one of the three that could crawl, therefore making him the mischievous one. He wriggled in his sleep but never woke. Kelly watched him. He was going to make an amazing father.

"Are the cots set up?" Kelly asked softly. Alex nodded. He struggled to put it up without her and at one point he was holding two pieces together with his teeth. Kelly passed the very sleepy Maria to him, waltzing into the kitchen Baby free. Maryse had asked Kelly to have the babies bedded by nine o'clock as they normally slept for nine to twelve hours straight. It was now eight and Kelly decided it was feeding time. After mixing the three bottles of formula, she she picked up her phone and a pizza menu off the table. She couldn't be assed cooking.

Alex held Maria and Kelly had tiny Michael as they fed the two babies. Maria was sleeping but she was starting to wake up, bobbing her little head from left to right. Kelly placed the towel over her shoulder, lifted Matt onto her shoulder and gently patted his back trying to burp him. He coughed and spluttered a little before burping, throwing up a little onto the towel. Kelly kept him in place and carried him up into the nursery.

"Night Night little man." She cooed, placing him into the newly built cot and pulling a little sheet over. She tucked him in before heading back down stairs. Alex was just finished feeding Michael so she took it upon her to tuck him into bed as well.

"Could you feed Maria and I'll take wriggle here up to bed?" She sounded happy and Alex wasn't interuppting that chirpy cycle. He nodded before picking Maria up and placing the bottle in her mouth. Once she started sucking, Kelly left him and put Michael to bed. She sat with them for a few minutes, talking to them gently. She talked about how her and Alex were going to be looking after them for a few days while Mommy and Daddy had a little break. Once she knew they were sleeping (She knew this because Matt was snoring like a horse.) she made her way back downstairs. The sight before her made her double over with laughter. Alex was sitting on the ground, not knowing what to do, as Maria sat giggling on the couch. Alex was perched on the floor with baby puke dripping down the back of his shirt.

"Should have remembered to put a towel down." She stated. Alex looked at her before scooping Maria up and whisking her upstairs. Kelly smiled, plopping herself onto the sofa. She was well and truly knackered and she had only been babysitting for half a day. The doorbell rang and she jumped up from her spot, grabbing her purse on her way to the door. The man delivering the Pizza was sure happy to see her. He waggled his eyebrows and she buttoned up her shirt.

"Twenty bucks please, or you could sure pay me any other way if ya want..." He stated with a cocky attitude. His face turned a shade of white as Alex drew the door back, putting his hand around Kelly's waist. He pulled the 'Rocky Eyebrow' as he looked the kid up and down.

"You hitting on my wife?" He snarled. The white faced man just shook his head and placed the Pizza's on the ground. He backed away slowly, forgetting the money. Kelly held out the twenty dollars with a small grin on her face. He edged forward, trying to take the money. Alex shouted 'BOO' and the poor kid nearly shit himself. He grabbed the money and jumped back on that scooter quicker than a bat outta' hell. Kelly just rolled her eyes before picking up the Pizza's and taking them inside.
