Continuation of Reyisa babysitting Chuck!
To RandomFanAuthor- Hope your report card came through alright! Let me know! ^_^
To HoO Fan- I may do two versions- I've got the NAPPING one fully planned out, I just need to work on the AWAKE version a little more. It really did fit her character and I'm so glad that's what she's decided, but it MESSES WITH MY PLAN, so I shall stick with my canon for simplicity's sake, but YAY, GO REYNA! And I'm saying nothing, see aforementioned PLAN.
Ten minutes later, they discovered that was absolute bullshit. Chuck was crying on the floor, kicking his hooves and balling his fists in protest, the bag had been emptied and the contents strewn about, diapers and wet wipes mixing in with Reyna's paperwork, baby blankets abandoned on her furniture, toys underfoot and pacifiers materialising from thin air. Louisa had tried toys, food, making shapes from water and pulling stupid faces, but Chuck only cried more.
There was one thing they hadn't done.
"Oh gods, it's the diaper, ain't it?"
"Dibs not it."
"No, don't do that!"
"Too late, dibs not it."
"Fuck's sake, Reyna! Oh shit, I meant- fuck. No! Uugggggghhhhh, I can't do this!" Louisa, sat in front of Chuck on the floor, drew her knees to her chest, crossing her arms on top and hiding her face in them.
Reyna did the logical thing and Googled it. She crouched beside Louisa, tapping her shoulder and showing her a video.
"There's online tutorials for everything, let's just use these."
"Holy fuck, you're amazin'." Louisa marvelled. Reyna's face felt hot, but she urged Louisa into action. She found a diaper and the wet wipes, while Reyna located the changing mat and a diaper bag. She spread the mat out on the floor beside Chuck, who was definitely starting to smell now, and lay him down.
Between them they managed. After much gagging and complaining- it was in the fur- and it took far longer than either of them would ever admit- it came a close second to the disaster in Albania- buuuuut… they had done it.
Chuck was clean, he had settled to a whimper, gnawing on his knuckles until Reyna handed him a tin can. He only had a few teeth at the moment, but they were enough to render that can irreparable and unrecognisable.
Louisa had the fun job of taking the dirty diaper away. She held it at arm's length, all but running to the kitchen to drop it in the trash. Reyna could hear the water running as Louisa vigorously washed her hands, muttering to herself. Chuck looked up at Reyna, a smile creasing the corners of his eyes as he bit a large chunk from the can.
"You are too cute to be so disgusting." Reyna told him. Chuck giggled, a good slathering of dribble coating the sad remains of his chew toy. The smell of that diaper was in her nose- gods above, she was going to be smelling that for weeks. "What time did you say they'd be back?" She called out.
"Ten!" Louisa replied, shutting the water off. Reyna glanced up at the clock.
It wasn't even seven.
