Thanx so much for your reviews! And now presenting…

Chapter 2 "Drafted"

"Drewbie! Terrible news!" Mama Lipsky came running into the den. "Your cousin Jerry was just in an accident!"

"Jerry?" Drakken said as he and Shego turned to face her.

"Yes! His wife just called me on her cellular! I have to go and see him right away! I hate to do this to you but would you two mind watching Cody and Maxwell while I'm gone?"

"WHAT?" Drakken and Shego said in unison.

"But…uh… I can't mother. I have, uh loads of work to do and…"

"Oh pleeeaaase Drew? I won't be gone too long. You'd really be helping me out…" she looked at him with a sad oh-I'm-so-poor-innocent-and-old-just-look-at-me face that a good son just couldn't resist.

"Oh, all right."

"What?" Shego said appalled then whispered, "Are you completely out of your mind? What could you possibly know about taking care of kids?"

"Did you ever baby-sit before?" Drakken whispered.

"Sorta…"

"Good enough," he interrupted. "Mother, we would be happy to sit for you."

"Define happy" Shego muttered to herself.

"Oh that's wonderful! Thank you so much! I'll try not to be gone long." She turned to Cody, "You be good now and help your big cousin Drew out if your brother wakes up," She turned back to Drakken and Shego without missing a beat. "But you know, he's such a peaceful baby, he probably won't wake up at all." They all walked towards the front door. "See you later, and thanks again!" She hugged Drakken and left.

Silence.

"So… now what?" Shego said breaking the silence.

"What are you asking ME for! You're the one who's done this before right?"

"Not since I was FOURTEEN years old."

"Uh, 'xcuse me…cousin drew…"

"Fourteen!" Drakken continued. "Why didn't you say something before?"

"Well if I do recall, YOU were the one who interrupted me!"

"ec-xuse me…"

"Well-you-you never let me interrupt when it's important! And that information was most definitely important! You should have told me and I might have considered not baby sitting!"

"Oh sure… fine then, don't admit you're wrong, just blame EVERYTHING on the sidekick. I do all sorts of work for you and what do I get?"

"Besides your painfully large salary?"

"DRAKKEN!"

"EXCUSE MEEEEE!" Cody screamed.

"WHAT!" Drakken and Shego screamed back.

"I smell something burning." Cody said.

"B-burning…?" Drakken sniffed the air. "Oh my gosh!"

"THE BISCUITS!" Drakken and Shego yelled.

"Uh-uh-UWAAAAAAAAAAA!" Baby Maxwell shrieked.

"Oh great! Now look what you did! You woke up the baby!" Shego snapped.

"I woke up the baby?" Drakken retorted.

"WAWAWAWAWAWA!"

"For the sake of all that is dang good!" Shego yelled in frustration. "Okay listen, you go take care of the biscuits, I'll get the baby. Codwell-"

"My name's Cody-"

"Whoever you are, come with me and help me with your brother!"

And the army dispersed!
