Nick decided, after the disturbing wake up call, to give the kids some food. And he needed coffee, badly. He sighed relieved when he had his first sip of the hot brown
steaming liquid and the children were eating their bowls of cereal.
Derek cocked his head a little.
"Mother says coffee is bad for your teeth."
Nick gave him a glance. "Oh really?"
Derek nodded with enthusiasm. "Yes, they'll go brown and rot away and then you have to go to the dentist."
Nick looked at Derek now, never knowing that Derek would talk that much when he was young. "That's great," he muttered.
Derek looked at him with suspicion, not sure what Nick meant by that.
"You like your teeth brown and rotten?"
Nick had the urge to roll his eyes, he just wanted to drink his coffee in peace, but that was out of the question now.
"No, it was an expression, something you say when you don't know what else to say."
Alex, who was following the conversation with interest, looked at Nick with her big brown eyes. "Why?"
He looked at her, not understanding her question.
"Why what, hun?"
Alex giggled a little, thinking how stupid Nick was. "Why say that?"
"Because grown ups always want something to say."
"Why?"
"To let the other one know they were listening."
"Why?"
Nick blinked at her, wondering if she had a tape recorder hidden under the table or something and he was cursing the fact that he didn't knew much about young children.
"Because grown ups are very silly."
Alex nodded to that, accepting the answer this time. Rachel bursted out laughing, spraying cereals everywhere.
"Then you are silly too!" Derek started giggling and Rachel jumped up, running around the table, pointing to Nick.
"Nick is silly, Nick is silly" Derek laughed and joined Rachel, not soon after that Alex joined in too. Nick sighed, clamping his hands to his ears. This was going to be a very long day.
After an hour, after Nick had cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, he took the children outside, letting them play in the garden. He started digging in the pile of books he took outside; trying to figure out what happened to his team members. But with the sun shining and the kids playing quietly, he soon started to doze off. He didn't
get much sleep and his body needed some badly. But after an hour he jumped up surprised, startled from his sleep when something very cold and very wet hit him on the chest. He gasped, looking at his soaking shirt and saw Derek, Rachel and Alex armed with waterguns, laughing at his face. He grinned, knowing this game very well. He faked to be angry and ran after them.
"I'm going to get you, you little teases." He ran inside and grabbed a watergun from a closet, where he had hid it when Kat played with it a little to much. He filled it and ran outside, not surprised when he saw nobody there. He heard a giggle to the left of him and ran to it, seeing Rachel disappearing around the corner. He grinned and
slowly approached the corner, jumping quickly in it's way. But to his surprise Rachel was gone. This continued for an hour or so, the kids were smart, they were
fooling Nick, letting him run around in circles all the time. And then, when Nick didn't expect it, they closed him in, approaching from all the sides. Nick looked a little disappointed now.
"Okay, I give up, you have won." He gave them his watergun, hoping they would have mercy on him. Derek grinned, an evil grin, which looked very familiar to Nick. And he knew there was no way out of this. Derek yelled. "Fire!"
And poor Nick was attacked from all the sides, making him soaking wet.
