VERY SHORT CHAPTER TODAY! I split this idea rather awkwardly, so I will span it out over a few things! If there's any suggestions I've missed, give me a shout, my brain is not working today, like not even a little tiny bit!
And keep an eye out for my ToA rewrite! It will pick up RIGHT AFTER Blood of Olympus and will be SOON! Hehehe! ^_^
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I never agreed ta this!"
"Consider it part of your training, cupcake!" Coach cackled gleefully. Louisa glowered at him. Nearly one-year-old Chuck blew a raspberry at her, rather amused that she was holding him at arm's length.
"Coach, I ain't good with kids, take him back."
"No. It's date night and you said you owed me a favour. So this is it."
"I meant, like, in a fight or some shit. Fuck. No! Bastard! Ugh, see, that's why I ain't good with kids! I teach them bad words!" She tried handing the child back again, but Coach stepped away, hands raised. "Coach, I swear, don't-"
"Too late, Mellie's waiting. Everything you need is in the bag! We'll be back by ten!"
"Coach, don't you dare! Coach! COACH!" But he was gone, trotting away to meet Mellie. The cloud nymph waved and blew a kiss, calling out her thanks. She took Hedge's hand and they dissolved into vapour. Louisa stared at the spot they had been.
What the fuck was she supposed to do now?
She stared at the baby. The baby stared back, drooling and kicking his hooves. He stuck a chubby little fist in his mouth, snuffling and drooling some more. The bag was at her feet.
Yeah, this was not going to work.
