*Picks up from Sick and Hospital Trip*
Jordan- 3
After Jordan was released from the hospital Hank, Erin, and Justin were on full alert with the toddler. One day Hank and Erin were called in on a case so the older man had called his son in to watch Jordan.
"Hey pop I'm here". Justin called to his father.
"In the kitchen Justin". Hank called back.
When Justin got to the kitchen he saw his father getting ready to head out while Erin was with the young toddler coloring.
"So what's up".
"I need you to babysit Jo for the day".
"The day? Pop I've only done it for like a couple hours but never the whole day".
"Justin it won't be hard as long as you stick to her schedule the two of you will be fine".
"What if she gets sick again?"
"Her medicine is in the medicine cabinet in the washroom along with the thermometer, the doctor's number is on the fridge. You have mine and Erin's cell numbers".
"I got it Pop".
"If we're not back by the time she goes to bed, she goes to bed no later than 8".
"Got it".
"If you take her out she does not leave your sight for any reason".
"Pop I got it".
"Just making sure".
Hank then went over to the toddler just as Erin gently hugged the young girl and he had bent down to her level.
"Alright Jo, Erin and I have to go catch some bad guys so Justin's gonna watch you ok". He tells his daughter.
"When will you come back?" Jordan asked in her small voice.
"Probably after you go to bed".
"Ok".
"Be good and behave alright Jo".
"Ok daddy".
"That's my girl".
He then hugged and kissed her head and Erin did the same, the two left leaving Justin to watch his young sister.
"Justin can we go to the park please". Jordan asked her older brother.
"Sure Jo Jo let's get ready".
Justin had went and helped his sister dress and put a light jacket on since there was a light breeze, he then tried to brush her hair and put it up in a ponytail.
"I don't see how Erin does this all the time". Justin muttered.
Once Jordan was ready Justin then put his jacket on and the siblings headed for the park, after a ten minute walk they arrive to the park and Jordan let go of her brother's hand heading for the swings.
"Be careful Jo!" Justin called to his sister.
"Come push me Justin". Jordan called back.
He then went to go push his sister on the swing, he started to slowly push her till she had got it on her own for a bit.
"Justin I'm flying! I can touch the sky".
When he heard his sister's laughter it always put a smile on his face, Jordan was finished on the swing so Justin helped her down and she bolted for the jungle gym. For half of the afternoon Justin kept his eyes locked on his sister he was afraid what would happen if he took his eyes off her for even a second.
Justin looked at his watch and it read 1:45 in the afternoon which meant his sister needed lunch and her daily nap.
"Come on Jo time to go". Justin called out.
When the young toddler walked back to her brother she could barely keep her eyes open so Justin reached down and swiftly picked her up, on the walk back to the house Jordan was slowly fading in and out going to sleep. They had stopped for a quick slice of pizza for lunch. Jordan had took a few bites of the pizza before she fell back asleep.
By the time the siblings had gotten back to the house Jordan was fast asleep on her brother's shoulder so Justin had brought her up to her room gently laying her down in the bed and covering her up.
"Sleep tight Jo". He whispered, he then kissed her head and left the room.
Justin had quietly went down the stairs going to sit on the couch and his phone began to ring and he answered it.
-Hello. Justin answered.
-Hey Justin, I'm just calling to check in. Hank replied.
-Everything's good Pop, took Jo to the park we had pizza for lunch and she's napping now.
-Alright I'll check in later.
-Ok Pop.
Justin then hung up his phone and switched the tv on and flipped through the channels for a while. After a couple of hours Jordan had woken up from her nap and went down the stairs to see her brother fast asleep she then went over to him and gently shook him, Justin woke up to someone shaking him he looked down to see his sister shaking his arm.
"Hey Jo Jo what are you up to".
"I'm hungry".
"Let's go get a snack".
The two headed to the kitchen and Justin had sat his sister at her booster seat then headed to the fridge and got a couple apples and the milk out he then went in the cabinet grabbing the peanut butter. He sliced the apples and spread some peanut butter on them and filled up one of Jordan's sippy cups with milk then poured himself a glass.
"Here you go Jo".
"Thank you Justie".
"You're welcome munchkin".
After the two ate their snack Justin cleaned up while Jordan headed to the living room to play with some of the toys. Once the kitchen was cleaned Justin went out and played with his sister who was having a tea party with some of her stuffed animals.
The time was now 6:30 so Justin left his sister to play while he quickly cooked dinner for them, he decided on spaghetti and meatballs.
"Justin". Jordan said to her brother.
"What is it Jo Jo". He replied.
"When is daddy and Erin coming back?"
"I'm not sure yet, they'll probably be home after you go to bed".
"Can we stay up and wait for them?"
"No Jo they'll be getting home very late and dad would be really mad at me if I let you stay up late".
"Ok".
The food was finished and Justin dished it out he filled up a small cup with apple juice for his sister and gotten himself a soda. After the siblings ate the food was put away for Hank and Erin later, Jordan then went up to her room to change for bed. Once the young girl had her pajamas on she crawled into her bed and waited she couldn't sleep unless her father, Erin or Justin read to her.
Justin went up to his sister's room to see her laying in the bed waiting for him, he chuckled as he went in he then went over to the bookshelf and picked a book and went to his sister's side.
"Ready for storytime Jo". Justin said.
"Yeah". Jordan replied sleepily.
"Once upon a time…
It was now half past eleven at night when Hank and Erin came in the house.
"What a day". Erin said.
"No kidding". Hank agreed.
When Hank didn't see his children he went upstairs with Erin following behind, Hank checked his son's room first while Erin checked Jordan's room. When she saw the sight in the toddler's room she had a smile on her face.
"Hank over here".
The older man then went over to see the sight in his daughter's room as well.
"There's a sight I thought I'd never see".
Justin was laying on his sister's bed the book lying on his chest Jordan was curled into his side with one of his arms around her protectively. The sight of his two children put a smile on his face.
