Honestly love you guys that take the time to review.
I own nothing, I'm just borrowing.
"How's my little M&M then." Dennis asked peering at the baby in Dodger's arms.
"Max told you not to call her that." Dodger replied bouncing the wide awake baby in his arms.
"But she is so small and sweet just like the chocolaty goodness that is M&Ms." Dennis cooed. "Seriously look at this little face! She is so sweet I'm probably going to need a dentist, Yes I am." Dennis cooed at Minnie.
"No you call her that because you think she's a Mini Max." Dodger smiled handing the baby over.
"Yeah I do." He admitted.
"You heard her last time if she hears you call the baby that again she'll kill you."
"You're mummy wouldn't kill uncle Dennis, would she?" Dennis cooed at Minnie. "Seriously injure yes, Kill no."
"Wouldn't be to sure of that mate."
"Anyway what are you doing here?" Dennis asked looking up from the baby for the first time since they'd entered the shop.
Dodger laughed. "What I need to have a reason to visit my favourite cousin? That's nice Den."
"See when you say stuff like that I know you want something."
"Well me and Max was just wondering if you wanted to babysit you're god-daughter. Give you some quality bonding time. Be good practice for you and Blessing." Dodger coaxed.
"So you both want a night out on the lash and want me to baby sit?" Dennis asked, reading the situation correctly.
"Something like that." He replied sheepishly.
"For how long?" Dennis asked wearily.
"Just the one night." Dodger said. "I don't think Max will be able to be away from her for that long."
"Go on then."
"Dennis you are an absolute star!" Dodger exclaimed hastily handing over the baby bag that had already been packed for an over night visit. "She just had a feed so should be fine for a couple more hours, there's three bottles made up in the bag and more formula just in case, mind and wind her properly or she won't sleep. She is usually down for the night at about 10. Oh! and if she does get up just sing anything in the top 40. Seriously mate you're a life savour." Dodger spat out quickly before exiting the shop.
"What!" Dennis called out after him. "I didn't think you meant tonight! I've got a date with Blessing!"
Minnie started crying as Dennis's voice got higher.
"Oh it's OK! Don't cry," Dennis tried to soothe her. "How about we go see aunty Blessing? Yeah?"
"Are we horrible people?" Maxine asked cuddling further into Dodger's side. Minnie had been gone all after noon and all Dodger and Maxine had done was lie in bed sleeping and watching movies.
"No we're sleep deprived parent's with a teething baby, we deserve a night off." Dodger replied.
Maxine smiled loving that me classed himself as Minnie's father even thought they had never properly talked about him taking on the roll, everyone just refereed to him as Minnie's dad and he never protested in fact, if anything he encouraged it. "Your right."
"Excuse me? Am I hearing things?" He teased tickling her sides making her giggle.
"Don't let it go to your head."
"I'd never." He said kissing her head.
"It's so quiet." Maxine marvelled. "I cannot remember it ever being this quiet."
"Me either." He agreed being used the lying in bed listening to the soft sighs Minnie made as she slept as he drifted off. "It's weird."
"What do you think she's doing?" Maxine asked.
Looking at the clock he could see it was only 9.46. "Den's probably getting her ready for bed."
"Do you think I should call?"
"You only phoned them half hour ago Max." Dodger laughed.
"Yeah, you're right." She sighed. "It's just I've never been away from her this long."
"Man I am on a roll tonight." He laughed causing her to roll her eyes but he seen a smile creeping onto her lips.
"Did you pack her teething gel cream?" Maxine asked. Minnie had been teething for a few weeks now and they hardly had any sleep because of it.
"No." Dodger replied watching Maxine's eyes go comically wide. "You did."
Maxine lightly hit his shoulder. "Don't do that."
"You need to relax, Dennis has looked after her before."
"Yeah," Maxine snorted. "For 20 minutes and he nearly dropped her."
"Yeah but Blessing's with him." Dodger soothed.
"She tried to paint Minnie's nails when she was over the other day!"
Dodger hesitated. "Why are these people our daughters god-parents."
Maxine laughed. "Cause they are sweet and loving and it's a more in name only thing."
"No seriously," Dodger said sitting up. "When we were kids, Dennis killed my pet hamster! We went on holiday and he was supposed to feed it but he forgot! Why did I trust him with a baby?"
"Cause he's grown up since then and loves Minnie like his own."
"I'm going round there. We shouldn't have trusted them with her for the night." Dodger decided making Maxine laugh. "It's not funny."
"It kind off is, you're always having a go at me for being to over protective and look at you."
Dodger hesitated as he put on his shirt. "Do you think I should leave her?"
"No, if you don't go get her then I will."
Dodger laughed leaning down and kissing her. "Love you."
"I love you too." Maxine smiled watching him dash out of the bedroom door.
