Adventures In Babysitting-Ch 6
Hotch and Jack were enjoying their ice cream while the twins were still napping, ack looked at his dad and said, "when's mom coming home"?, Hotch looked at down at his watch and said, "it could be late tonight or early in the morning depending on how much fun they are all having". He sighed and said, "I miss mom", Hotch rubbed the little boys head and said, "me to buddy, me to" as they continued eating their ice cream.
Henry laughed and said, "dis fun daddy", Reid grinned at the little boy and said, "yeah it is, we need to do this more often don't we"?, he nodded his head yes and said, "uhhh huhhh". Reid looked over into the portable crib and saw that Michael was still sleeping and said, "what would you like to have for supper"?, Henry tapped his finger on his chin and said, "pitsaaaaa".
Reid laughed and said, "that sounds good, how about pepperoni and sausage"?, he made a face and said, "ewwwwww daddy, me wants cheeseeeeeeee", Reid said, "how about I get you your own little pizza with cheese and then daddy can get himself one with pepperoni and sausage"?, Henry said, "kayyyyyy". Reid looked down at his watch and said, "I'll go ahead and order it so that we can get it soon, does that sound good"?, the little boy nodded his head and said, "yeahhhhhhh" as he pushed hsi little car across the floor.
Derek was sitting on the couch with Sophie sleeping in her bouncy chair on the table in front of him and Jamie sleeping in his arms and Talia was coloring in the floor. He sighed happily and thought, "my life is amazing, I have a wonderful job, beautiful, sexy wife, amazing kids, a wonderful job and a loving family, who could ask for anything more"? and on cue Jamie woke up and said, "me want momma".
Derek said, "buddy mommy isn't here, she's out with nana Fran and auntie JJ and Em", he rubbed his little eyes and his lip started to quiver and he said, "but me want momma". Derek felt the little boys head and smiled when he could tell that his fever was going down, he said, "how about if momma isn't home by the time you go to bed that we call and let you tell her goodnight, is that okay"?, he tiredly nodded his head yes as he laid his head down on Dereks shoulder.
Talia said, "lookey daddy", Derek said, "ohhhh princess that's beautiful, you're going to have to show that to mommy", Talia beemed with pride and said, "you think she'll like it"?, he said, "she's gonna love it". Talia turned through her coloring book and started coloring another picture, as he watched her he couldn't help but grin, he was thankful for everything he has.
The ladies were all having fun on their day out as they decided to watch their movie first and then shop and then eat so that after dinner they could head back home to their husbands and babies. Fran said, "today has been so much fun, we're really gonna have to do this again and soon", everybody nodded their heads and in unison all said, "definitley".
As they walked into the theatre JJ said, "maybe we should call and check on eveybody, ya know just to make sure that everything is alright", Penelope said, "if there was something wrong our husbands would call so I say let them see what's it's like being all alone with the kids for one whole day", Emily said, "PG's right, let them appreciate how much we do during the day".
Fran said, "something tells me that by the time this day is over they are all going to have a bigger appreciation for all of you", the three girls all giggled as they walked over to purchase their tickets. Meanwhile at Casa Hotchner Hotch jumped to his feet when both girls started crying at the same time, he said, "alright Jack it's time to morph into action".
Jack laughed and said, "like were Mighty Morphin Power Rangers dad"?, Hotch laughed and said, "exactly and our objective is to make the twins stop crying and do it as fast as we can". Jack put his hands on his hips and said, "right dad", Hotch put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath as he said, "and away we gooooo" as they headed over to the screaming twins.
Henry clapped his hands as his dad put pizza down in front of him, he picked it up and took a bite and said, "num num", Reid grinned and said, "is it good buddy"?,
he nodded his head and said "uh huh". The father and son sat there eating their pizza and enjoying the peace and quiet and just as they finished their pizza and had started cleaning up Michael started to cry again.
Reid ran his hand over his head and said, "how does your mommy do this all the time"?, Henry said, "she's a hewo dad, a weal supr hewo", Reid laughed and said, "that she is buddy, that she is" as they made their way over to Michael. Reid picked him up and said, "whewwwwww little man let's get you changed and then how about something to eat", as he headed over to the changing table.
A few minutes later Michael was laying contently in his fathers arms looking up at him as he sucked his bottle, Henry said, "he's widdle daddy"?, Reid said, "you were little like him once". Henry wrinkled his nose and said, "weally"?, Reid grinned and said, "yep really", he motioned to a picture and said, "see, there you are righttttttt there" causing Henry to grin at seeing how little he once was.
Derek ran his hand up and down Jamies back as he started waking up, Talia said, "is he still warm dad"?, Derek kissed the top of his head and said, "a little", he said, "I better go get some more tylenol", Talia nodded her head as she watched her dad and brother heading off through the house. Talia looked down at her sister and said, "don't worry sissy, mommy will be home soon".
She got down in the babies face and said, "daddy's doing good job takin care of us", Derek walked back into the room just in time to hear Talia talking to Sophie and grinned when he heard his 5 year old bragging on what a good job he was doing. The more he watched the prouder he was getting as he watched her calming her little sister down in a matter of seconds.
He walked back over and sat down on the couch and said, "alright Talie what do you want to do now"?, she said, "wanna play candyland"?, he said, "I'd love to"?, her little face lit up as she jumped up and said, "I'll go getttttttt it" as she disappeared into her room. When she ran back she said, "I'll set it up daddy" and he watched as she set it up and Jamie stayed clutched to his chest as Derek made his first move.
