THE JOY OF BABYSITTING
"Daddy you're not listening to me. You don't understand me" Jason's daughter whined and cupped her face with her hands, frowning.
They had been arguing for almost an hour, and Jason had explained to his daughter multiple times but his daughter somehow felt like she was the one who wasn't understood.
"Baby, I'm listening to you and I understand you. But what I'm trying to say is you are too young for that bag, Princess" Jason told her. His daughter had went to the mall with Piper earlier, and she saw a bag that she liked. Particularly, a limited, very expensive bag that Piper and Jason were sure were not made to be used by a five year old girl.
"But I like it Daddy, its pink" she pouted and gave him her puppy dog eyes
Why did his daughter have to like everything that was pink? She's even dressed in an all pink outfit today. She was wearing a baby pink sundress, with pink ballet flats, and she also had on a pink headband on her blond hair. Sometimes Jason even thinks that his daughter would dye her hair pink if she could, and maybe even have pink eyes to match.
"You can't get everything that's pink, Princess" he told her which made her pout more and shake her head, her blond hair flying everywhere.
"But daddy…" she whined kicking the pillows on the sofa
"Jessy"
"Daddy you don't listen to me. You don't understand me" she repeated
"Ugh" Josh groaned from beside Jason "Daddy's listening! He understands! Jessy you're not listening to daddy. You don't understand daddy! You're too noisy!" he grumbled them walked out of the living room. Probably going to Piper who was in the bedroom.
Jessy looked at Jason for a moment then at Josh's retreating figure, then back at Jason.
"Daddy Josh is grumpy" Jessy told him laughing
"and why is your brother grumpy?"
"Because I'm too noisy" she said innocently and smiling at Jason
"Why are you too noisy?"
"Because daddy you won't listen to me!" she whined again, but louder this time.
Jason should probably have stuck with his first question. Jason looked at the TV in front of him, the movie already forgotten, when Jessy started begging Jason for the bag. A few minutes ago, Piper retreated to the bedroom, Leaving Jason alone to explain to his daughter over and over again, why they can't buy her the bag.
"Jessy for the last time" Jason started explaining to his daughter again on why they can't buy her the bag she wanted. When Jason was done explaining, Jessy whined one last time then started crying.
"Baby, you can't make me buy you that bag just because you're crying" he told her firmly which only made his daughter cry more and ran off to Piper crying "Mommy" in the hallway
Jason sighed and got up from the couch, following his daughter in the bedroom. He found her crying in Piper's shoulders, while Josh was trying to comfort his sister as well. He sat next to Piper and caressed his daughter's hair.
"Come here, Princess we need to talk"
"No" she answered him still crying in Piper's shoulders
"I'll calm her down first, you can talk to her later" Piper told him "Why don't you take Josh to the living room, for a while"
"Okay. Come on buddy" Jason said carrying his son
"Daddy can I take a nap?" Josh said yawning
"Sure, bud. I'll take you to your bedroom" After Josh has fallen asleep, and Jason had tucked him in bed. He returned to the living room, a few minutes later Piper walked in and sat on his lap.
"Jessy fell asleep crying" she told him and placed her head in his shoulders
"I can't believe she's this upset because of a bag" Jason muttered
"It's because you rarely say no to her when she wants to buy something Jason" his wife told him
"She's having a hard time accepting that her daddy is saying no" she continued
"She's got me wrapped around her tiny fingers doesn't she?"he asked kissing Piper's forehead
Piper laughed and kissed him before answering "Yep"
"Do you think we should get her the bag?" Jason asked her which made Piper smile
"It's up to you. Your paying for it after all, Sparky"
Jason groaned and kissed Piper again "What do I do? I don't want her to stay mad at me forever!"
Typical of Jason, he could never really resist his daughter for long. Right now, Jessy seems to be closer to Jason while Josh was closer to Piper. A daddy's girl and a Mommy's boy, and they both can't resist them for long.
"She won't" Piper said grabbing the remote, and changing the channel of the TV
"What if she does?"
"She won't, Sparky. Relax"
"Easy for you to say she's not mad at you"
"Jason Grace are you afraid of a little girl?" Piper teased
"I'm not! I'm just afraid she'll stop being daddy's little girl because of this bag"
Piper wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again "She won't. I can assure you that"
They stayed like that for a few minutes until Jason decided to check on the sleeping twins.
Piper followed him and he wrapped his arms around her
"What bag did she want again?" he whispered in her ear
"Couldn't resist her can you?" Piper smirked at him
He laughed and kissed her cheek
"Nope"
"I'll send you the photo I took of the bag. Make sure to buy Josh something as well, okay?"
Piper and Jason had always made sure that whenever they bought something for one twin, the other twin gets something as well. But he wouldn't be getting the same bag for Josh, of course.
"Of course" Jason said before kissing his wife again and heading to the bedroom to get his car keys and wallet.
(Linebreak)
When Jason had gotten home, Josh was already awake and was telling Piper about his dream.
"and then I was riding a Pegasus, Mommy" he told her
"Really? What happened next baby?" Piper asked her son
He kissed both of their foreheads and gave Josh his new toy. After a quick chat with his wife and son, he headed towards the twins bedroom to give his daughter her bag. She was still sleeping, she was hugging one of her teddy bears, and had her face buried in the bears neck. Jason placed the paper bag beside his daughter and tried to wake her up. She would get grumpy at first, but hopefully the bag will get her in a good mood.
"Wake up, Princess"
It took Jason a few minutes to wake up his daughter, but when she opened her eyes and saw Jason, she pouted then closed her eyes quickly.
Jason shook his head smiling "Is my little princess still mad at Daddy?" No Response
"Daddy has a gift for you" that got her attention, she opened her eyes and looked at her father
He showed her the paper bag and she quickly sat up, dropping her teddy bear in the process
"My bag?" she asked
"Open it to find out, Princess"
When Jessy saw the bag, her eyes lit up and she quickly tackled her dad into a hug "THANK YOU DADDY! I LOVE YOU DADDY!" she cried out
Jason's daughter was really spoiled, but he didn't mind. Her smile was always worth it.
A few hours later, while Josh was playing with the new toy that Jason had got for him, and Jessy was trying to see how many of her dolls could fit inside her new bag. Two packages from Hermes Express had appeared. One was from Zeus, and the other one was from Aphrodite.
'Oh no' Jason thought when he had seen the two boxes
"You don't think it's the?" Piper trailed off
They took the boxes to the kitchen, so the twins couldn't see it yet. When they opened the two boxes, their suspicions were right, Zeus and Aphrodite both got Josh a toy and Jessy's bag (the same bag Jason had bought, only with a different color. The bag Jason had bought was Pink, Aphrodite's was Red, and Zeus' was blue).
"Look's like I'm not the only one spoiling her after all" Jason said before picking up the boxes and taking it to the twins in the living room.
