"Do it again, Maya! Pleeaase."
Lucas froze, mid-way through cleaning up all the food left on the Matthews' kitchen table, and tilted his head towards the hallway cautiously.
When he'd first agreed to help baby-sit Auggie with Maya, he hadn't been quite sure what he was signing up for. According to Mrs. Matthews, Maya had baby-sat the youngest Matthews child plenty of times with Riley, but never by herself.
So when Mr. and Mrs. Matthews weekly "date-night" fell on the same night as Riley and Farkle's dress rehearsal for the school's spring play, Mrs. Matthews had begged him to help baby-sit (or "baby-sit the babysitter" as she'd put it), and he'd agreed, simply for the chance to see Maya outside of her usual element.
He'd expected her to veg out on the couch while he did all the work, but she'd surprised him once again by doing all the things he'd expect Riley or Mr. and Mrs. Matthews to do.
At dinner, she'd made sure Auggie ate all his vegetables by having him pretend to be a superhero that needed to eat all the "villainous" vegetables before they took over the apartment. And after that, she had listened thoughtfully as Auggie sat in her lap and told her all about his latest crisis with Ava.
Now though, as Lucas heard Auggie laugh uncontrollably, he remembered Mrs. Matthews warning him not to let Maya read any inappropriate stories to Auggie before bedtime, and he dashed over to Auggie's room anxiously. (Apparently, when Auggie was three, Maya had told him a certain dirty limerick that he had then gone on to share with his entire preschool class).
However, when he saw what was going on, he stopped and leaned against Auggie's door-frame with an amused smirk.
Auggie and Maya were sitting next to each other on his bed, with May's old guitar resting in Maya's lap.
"Okay, okay." Maya laughed and started to strum a few familiar notes before singing, "A little bit of Riley in my life, a little bit of Farkle by my side. A little bit of Hee-Haw is all I need, a little bit of Auggie is what I see. Mambo No. 5!"
Auggie giggled breathlessly as Maya finished the song with an amused smile and glanced over at Lucas, raising her eyebrows playfully at him.
"Lucas!" Auggie launched himself into Lucas's arms happily and Lucas moved to sit on the bed with Auggie still wrapped around him snugly. "Did you know Maya can play the guitar?"
Lucas smirked and glanced over at Maya amusedly. "I heard."
Maya grinned back at him mischievously before turning to smile at Auggie. "You know, Auggie, Ranger Rick even made me write a song about him. Do you want to hear it?"
"YES!" Auggie cheered excitedly.
"Oh no," Lucas muttered softly as Maya began to play.
"Hello, everyone," she drawled dramatically. "I'm Hop-A-Long McSundance…"
Auggie laughed as Maya sang her song, and pretty soon, Lucas found himself joining in, picking the little boy up to dance.
"Maya, dance!" Auggie instructed, laughing as he jumped around with Lucas.
"I don't dance," Maya insisted, raising one eyebrow dubiously until the boys shot her their best puppy-dog eyes. "Okay, fine," she relented, standing up to do-si-do around the room.
After a few more rounds of singing, the three of them collapsed on Auggie's bed, laughing until their stomachs began to hurt.
"You're the best baby-sitters ever!" Auggie declared, throwing his arms around the two of them enthusiastically.
"Thanks, Auggie," Maya remarked with a sly grin. "But you know, there's still one thing we haven't done yet."
"What is it?" Auggie asked curiously.
"Pillow fight!" she smirked and smacked Lucas in the face with a pillow.
"Oh, you're going down, kid," Lucas warned, picking the pillow up determinedly.
Maya laughed as Auggie valiantly threw himself in front of her to defend the blonde from the air-borne pillow, before reaching for another one of Auggie's pillows.
Before long, they were in a full-out pillow war with Maya and Auggie teaming up against Lucas (and with Maya's pitching arm, Lucas was sure he was going to have some bruising when he woke up tomorrow morning).
As he ducked out of the way of another flying pillow, Lucas grinned to himself before flinging a pillow back at Maya's laughing face. Turns out, Maya was a pretty good baby-sitter after all.
A/N: Eek, how was it? This is one of those cutesy moments I really hope happens on the show someday! Please review :)
