Hello everyone! I will be posting one shots here consisting of the everyday lives of Brady and Boomer and I might write some about episodes that I thought should have gone differently as well. I have to say that I'm a fan of whump, hurt/comfort and Brakayla and might write a lot about that. This one shot, however, was written by me about 8 years ago and back then I thought, for some weird reason, it would be a good idea to delete my account and my stories from that time. This one shot isn't exactly the same, since I didn't have the original anymore, but the theme is the same. Brady and Boomer are tasked with babysitting Mikayla's 2 year old cousin.
If you have any ideas for one shots that you would like me to write about or episodes to tackle, feel free to say so. For now, enjoy and please review!
Brady and Boomer were lounging around the throne room, when they heard Mikayla yelling their names. They looked at each other, slight fear in their eyes. "Dude what dit you do? Tell me you didn't put hair dye in her shampoo again Boom." Brady whispered at his brother angrily, while slapping him on the arm, hard. "As funny as it was to look at a pink haired Mikayla for a month, I didn't do anything bro." He emphasised on the word bro as he slapped him back, causing Brady to tumble off the armrest of the throne and land on the ground with both a loud scream and a thud.
Brady quickly got off the ground and was about to hit his brother again when Mikayla entered the throne room, calling their names again. He immediately walked up to her. "Whatever happened to you or you think we did it-... and... you have a baby." Boomer joined his brother's side as they looked at their friend in confusion. There she stood holding a little girl in her arms. She looked no older than 2 years old and had the same brown curls as Mikayla, except hers were significantly shorter and rested just above her shoulders. Big brown eyes looked at the kings and a small smile appeared from behind her pacifier.
"What... wh..why... what are you doing with a toddler? Brady asked as Boomer nodded along, wanting to know the answer to that question as well. "Look, this is my cousin Chloe and I was supposed to babysit her today, but I got stuck with a double shift that isn't over for a couple more hours so I was wondering if...ifyoucouldwatchherforme."
"Sorry what was that last part now?"
Mikayla sighed before answering them. "I was wondering if you could watch her for me, it's only for a couple of hours, I promise." Brady and Boomer looked at each other before they burst out laughing. Their laughter, however, quickly died down. "Oh you're serious?" Brady asked, taking a small step backwards. "You want us to take care of her? We can barely dress ourselves let alone take care of a tiny human being girl!" Boomer exclaimed, throwing his arms up in the air.
"Don't you think I know that? You two are the last persons I would deem qualified for the job, but I'm desperate and therefore I am asking you to babysit her, please?" They could see that she was indeed desperate and eventually caved. "We'll look after her." Brady said as he gently took Chloe from her arms. She seemed content with this and her pacifier nearly fell out of her mouth as she smiled once more. "Besides...she's pretty cute, how hard can it be right?"
Mikayla thanked them both and handed Boomer a large bag filled with the necessary supplies, such as spair clothes, diapers and toys, before running out of the castle to resume her guard shift. Brady looked the little girl in his arms over once more. He had to admit that she was pretty cute, wearing black jeans, a denim blouse and black vans in the size of his hands.
As Brady was about to consult with his brother how they were going to do this, a foul smell entered his nose and he nearly lost his lunch. He muttered the two well known words, 'Oh My', and heard the sound of a heavy bag hitting the floor and his brother running out the door. Chloe just giggled at him, content with having just pooped all over herself, and apparently thought it was funny that the smell of that nearly made him drop her. He scrunched up his nose in disgust, grabbed a diaper from the supply bag and made his way towards the bathroom. "You couldn't have waited 5 more minutes?"
30 minutes later Brady found himself on his bedroom floor, Chloe sitting in front of him playing with a stuffed animal. He was actually quite content with babysitting her, something he would never admit to Mikayla, and thought she was a pretty easy and happy child. The fact that this would get him on Mikayla's good side also helped.
He strummed his guitar while he watched her play. When he started to sing softly, she turned around and clapped her tiny hands. " You like that huh?" He asked, smiling. "Yes" She answered in a soft and cute voice, while taking her pacifier out of her mouth.
He laughed and started playing a song for her. She watched him while he sang, her brown eyes fixated on him and his guitar, smiling.
Life in the city
Yeah that's all we've known
Concrete jungles always been our home
But now all that's changed
It's getting really strange
Live like kings
That would rule
A couple of thrones
Yeah that'd be cool
One things for sure
We always had fun
Living the life under the sun
Whatever crazy things this island brings
We're living like kings
When he sang the last note, she clapped once more. "More!"
"More? No I think it's time to go bother my brother, what do you say? Maybe you could poop on him this time." He held out his hand for her and together they went to find Boomer. They found him in the throne room eventually. Together they attempted to sneak up on him, but Brady being the clums that he is, tripped and gave them away. "Shit." He muttered, while picking himself up from the ground, once again not for the first time that day.
"Shit!" Brady en Boomer looked at each other, panick in their eyes as she'd echoed Brady's cuss word. "No no no no that is a bad word, we do not say that word." Brady told her, kneeling in front of her. She looked him with those big brown eyes, that reminded him of the girl he loves, and smiled. They both sighed in relief as it appeared that the message was received and they were safe.
She giggled before running away from them and towards the stairs, deciding that it was playtime again. They chased after her and it was fun and games at first, until she tripped and hit the back of her head against the staircase. Her reaction was that of any other 2 year old that had just hit their head, to start bawling. Brady picked her up and started soothing her, while freaking out inside. He motioned Boomer over with a look in his eyes that said help me.
Brady checked the back of her head to see if she was bleeding or not, thankfully it was the latter and she would be fine. He'd sent Boomer upstairs to retrieve her pacifier that would hopefully calm her down. She lay her head on his shoulder while she continued to cry, dampening his shirt. Her crying stopped when Boomer ran down the stairs and put her pacifier back in her mouth. Brady waved his fingers through her hair gently and continued to rock her for a few more minutes as she started to calm down again.
Boomer was sprawled on the couch when Mikayla entered the throne room, returning from her shift. "Hello my king, how was babysitting?" She asked kindly, looking around the room searching for her cousin. "It was actually not bad." Boomer answered her while getting up from the couch. Mikayla sighed in relief. "Where is she?"
"Brady took her upstairs to get her to take a nap, he has been gone for a couple of hours now that you mention it."
"I'll go look upstairs then." With that she walked up the stairs in search of Chloe. When she opened the twins bedroom she was met by a sight that melted her heart. Chloe was fast asleep on Brady's bed and curled up against his chest. Brady himself was fast asleep as well. She stiffled a laugh and admired the sight in front of her. Brady lay on his back with his head resting against Chloe's, one arm was wrapped around her and the other was dangling over the side of his bed. A book lay next to the bed, fallen out of his grip after he'd red her a story and succumbed to sleep himself.
She grabbed her phone to snap a picture of the two. The sound of her camera snapping a photo, however, woke Chloe up and she sat up while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Sorry did I wake you up?" Mikayla whispered while gently picking her up, all the while Brady remained dead to the world. He must be exhausted. She thought as she knew it could be tiresome taking care of a toddler for the day.
She bent down and kissed him on the cheek, letting her lips linger there for a few seconds, as a thank you. That boy kept surprising her every day. He could be immature and pulling pranks one minute and be a completely different person the next. As much as she hated to admit it, she was quite fond of him.
"Now me kissing him stays between us alright?" She asked Chloe while gently moving some stray hairs out of her face. The answer to her question was short and unexpected. "Shit."
That's it for this chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Again if you have any ideas for one shots or episodes for me to tackle, feel free to let me know and reviews are much appreciated.
