Adventures In Babysitting-Ch 5
Hotch didn't realize how tired he was until he woke up to the sound of the twins crying and Jack tapping on his shoulder, he said, "what's wrong buddy"?, he said,
"the girls are crying daddy, make it stop, pleaseeeeee make it stop". He rubbed his son on the top of the head and said, "don't worry, daddy's gonna try" as he got up and walked across the room and picked Chloe up and started rocking her back and forth.
Zoe laid there crying and soon her cry went to a loud wail and Jack walked over and said, "it's alright baby, please don't cry", the babies cries slowed as she looked up at her older brother. Hotch was amazed how the cries had stopped and the room was now filled with laughter as Jack hovered over the baby talking to her and making funny faces.
Henry looked up at Reid and said, "me hungwy daddy", Reid said, "what do you want"?, he said, "me want ceweal", Reid laughed as he laid Michael down in his portable crib and walked over into the kitchen to fix Henry some cereal". Henry climbed up in his chair and said, "when momma tomin home"?, Reid mumbled something and his son said, "huh"?, Reid said, "late tonight or early in the morning".
Henrys eyes got big and he said, "weally"?, he said, "yep, she's gone with your aunts and nana Fran for the day", he took a bite of his cereal and said, "what dey doin"?, he said, "they are having a girls day out". He looked at his dad and said, "ohhhhhhhhhh", after a few seconds he said, "what dat"?, Reid ran his hand over his head as he tried to figure out a way to answer his question.
Derek sighed as he took a sip of coffee, Talia was watching a movie and the other 2 were thankfully napping, he picked up the newspaper and said to himself, "this isn't so hard". A few minutes later the sound of Sophie crying came through the monitor, Talia looked over her shoulder and said, "sorry daddy", he grinned and said,
"it's okay honey, she's probably hurgry or wet".
Talia sat there watching her movie until Derek walked back into the room carrying Sophie, she jumped down from the couch and followed them into the kitchen, she watched as Derek put her into the bouncy chair, she then smiled at her sister and said, "it's alright, daddy's gonna give you a bottle". Derek watched his oldest daughter in amazement at how much like her mother she was.
Meanwhile across town at the spa Penelope sighs happily and said, "we sooooooo needed this girlies", earning a "yesssss we did" from the other 3 women that were all around her. JJ said, "that massage was so good, I am so relaxed now", Emily said, "I hear ya Jayje, it's like I'm practically tingling I'm so relaxed", Fran laughed and said, "those were definitley magic fingers" causing all of the girls to laugh.
Penelope said, "I can't believe that most of the day is gone already", Fran said, "we still have plenty of time, how about we go grab something to eat, then do some shopping and then grab a movie"?, the girls all in unsison said, "yesssss" as they stood up and grabbed their clothes and headed to the changing rooms. It wasn't long before they were laughing and talking as they headed toward their car.
Hotch didn't know what to think when the twins quickly fell back to sleep, he rubbed the top of Jacks head and said, "how about some ice cream"?, Jack said, "can we have sprinkles"?, he said, "but of course, is there any other way to have ice cream". As they headed toward the kitchen he couldn't help but wonder how long this peace and quiet would last.
Reid laughed as Henry looked up at him and said, "tan we pway daddy"?, he said, "sure, what do you want to play"?, he walked over and got his hotrod and said, "tan we pway wif dis""?, he said, "sure, we need to be quiet though so we don't wake up Michael, okay"?, he gave his dad a thumbs up and said, "tayyyyy dadddddd" as they stated playing in the center of the floor.
Talia, Derek and Sophie were in the living room when Jamie started crying, Derek said, "can you watch your sister and let me go up and get him"?, she said, "uh huh daddy". Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "daddy loves you", she giggled and said, "I love you to daddy", he grinned as he then headed up the stairs to get his son.
He walked over to the bed and said, "what's wrong buddy"?, he jumped in Dereks arms and said, "me want mommy?, he ran his hand up and down the little boys back and said, "mommy isn't here buddy, she's gone". He rubbed his eyes and said, "me want mommy", Derek felt his sons head and said, "you feel warm little guy", he walked over and pulled out the ear thermometer and when it beeped he said, "awwww no wonder you don't feel good, you're running a temperature".
As he held the thermometer out in front of him 101.1 flashed in the window, he said, "how about we go get you some baby tylenol and thennnnnnn how about something cold to drink"?, Jamie nodded his head and said, "kayyyyy". Derek headed to the bathroom and after measuring out the dosage and giving the medicine to his son he said, "now how about some soda"?, he nodded his head and said, "yayyyyyyy".
Derek headed into the kitchen and said, "hey Talie would you like some soda"?, she said, "yeah daddy", he grinned as he got down another glass and split the small can of soda between the two kids. He put Jamie down on the floor and handed him his sippy cup and said, "alright buddy here you go", Jamie took the cup and then he followed his daddy into the living room.
After handing Talia her soda he sat down on the couch and a few seconds later Jamie had crawled up in his lap and was laying his head down on his chest, he said,
"it's okay buddy you're gonna feel better real soon, okay"?, the little boy nodded his head yes as he continued to drink his cool beverage. As Derek sat there he thought, "this might be harder than I thought", after a few seconds he said, "nahhhh I've got this" and it wasn't long before Sophie started crying again, he ran his hand over his head and said, "it's okay baby girl, it's okay" as he tried to figure out what to do now.
