Adventures In Babysitting-Ch 10
As the evening continued the older kids continued playing outside while the fathers took turns checking on them, the babies stayed calm for the most part as each of the fathers would take turns playing with them. Derek laughed as he watched Reid playing with Olivia, she kicked her little legs and squealed as he blew on her chubby stomach.
Hotch looked down at Michael and said, "you are just the cutest little thing, yes you are", Michael looked up at him and stuck out his tongue licking his lips and Hotch said, "you take that after your daddy don't you"?, earning a giggle from Derek. Derek sat between the twins and took his time playing with them, he would get one to laugh and then the other.
Chloe was definitely taken with Derek while Zoe was taken with Reid, Reid looked at the little girl and said, "are you uncle Reids baby, I think you are" earning a half giggle as he picked her up. Derek looked down at Chloe and said, "that uncle Reid is silly isn't he"?, he then kissed the little girls cheek and said, "I bet when you get older your daddy is going to have a hard time keeping the boys away".
Hotch said, "ohhhh don't even get me started about that, I've already talked to Em and they aren't dating until they are at least 30", Reid laughed and said, "30 you can't be serious Hotch". Hotch said, "ohhhh but I am", Derek said, "and what did Em say about that"?, Hotch shook his head and said, "ohhh she said that I was crazy and that they could date when they were old enough".
Reid said, "yeah we've had the dating discussion about the boys and we've decided that when they are old enough to know what a serious relationship means then they can start dating". Derek said, "I'm still in the overprotective papa bear mode, I don't want my baby dating anybody until I can get them checked out, ya know do a full background check on him".
Hotch and Reid nodded their heads in agreement and said, "absolutely" in unison as they quickly turned their attention to the children they had in their arms, Derek said, "what do you think Chloe, do you want to date right now"?, she blew on her lips and Derek said, "I didn't think so", Reid looked at Zoe and said, "what about you sweetie, are you looking for a man"?, she squeezed his finger and he said, "nope, I think she's good to Hotch".
He laughed and said, "what about you Olivia, are you looking for a good man"?, she blew bubbles on her lips and clapped her hands and he said, "I think you might have a problem with her Morgan". Derek laughed and said, "ohhhhhhh no I won't, she's not dating, not yet", Olivia looked up at her dad and squealed letting Derek know that she was going to win that and any other argument she had with him.
Hotch looked down at his watch and said, "it's getting late, we really need to think about dinner", Derek said, "how about hamburgers"?, Reid said, "sounds good to me, what about you Hotch"?, he said, "sounds good to me and I'm sure the kids will love it". Derek said, "there is a place that delivers and it's right up the street from here".
Reid said, "how are their burgers"?, Derek said, "to quote baby girl they are amazeballs" causing the men to all throw their heads back and laugh, he said, "I'll go and order them and then after dinner how about a cartoon to calm them all down before bed"?, Hotch said, "I like the way you think Morgan". Derek said, "thank you,
thank you very much".
Reid laughed and said, "ladies and gentlemen Elvis has left the building", Derek said, "very funny pretty boy, very funny" as he grabbed his cell and headed through the house to order their dinner. About half an hour later the burgers had arrived and the older kids were all getting washed up and Reid said, "Michael is sleeping so I'll feed him when he wakes up".
Derek glanced over and saw that Olivia was almost asleep and said, "yeahhhh waiting sounds good, she's almost out to", Hotch said, "both girls are outttttt this getting us all together worked out great". The men were all smiles as they joined the older kids at the table, after they finished their dinner Derek put a cartoon in for them to watch while the three men fed the babies.
Derek, Reid and Hotch then spent the next half an hour feeding the babies and talking to each other, Hotch said, "when the cartoon is over we're going to head home because the girls should be home soon". Reid nodded his head in agreement and said, "yeah I can get the boys home and get them settled in for the night and sit and relax with Jayje when she gets home".
Derek said, "alone time with baby girl sounds good to me, I've missed her sooooo much today", Reid said, "I agree that they need a day out but how about next time we hire a sitter and have a day of our own"?, Derek and Hotch laughed and said, "sounds good". After the movie ended Derek helped Reid and Hotch get their kids settled in their cars.
The Morgan children and their father stood at the door waving as they watched the Hotchners and Reids as they pulled away from the curb
