A/N: Hellooooo my lovely readers! Welcome to yet another episode of simply, CHAOS, where the members have to babysit Max's notorious nieces and nephews (OCs)... So without more blabbering, imma just let you read and enjoyyyy!
BABYSLAVES
It was a cool sunny Saturday morning. Max had invited the gang over at his place to hang out. Atleast that's what he told everybody. Currently, everyone was chilling at Max's living room. Sadly Emily couldn't make it, but the rest did. Except Daichi because he was not invited. (Y'all will soon find out the reason.)
"It feels too peaceful today." Kenny spoke, breaking the peaceful silence of the apartment, which was obviously not gonna last long.
"Seems like a set up." Tala narrowed his eyes mysteriously.
"Oh guys come on! We're just gonna be chilling together. Just us!" Tyson rose from his seat with enthusiasm.
"I have my doubts. Max never invites us like this." Ray pointed, leaning against the wall, eyes closed, as if he was the coolest guy in universe.
"Actually..." Everyone's eyes turned to Max.
"We're gonna have 5 more people to hang out with us." Max said nervously.
"What do you mean by that? Do we know them?" Mariam raised her eyebrows, while others narrowed their eyes at Max.
"Told ya." Ray smirked, his eyes still closed.
"Uhh basically, I've got two cousins who are going out on a girl's day out. And.." Max paused, looked at everyone, looking for even the slightest hint of approval. Everyone rather looked at him like he's about to commit a felony.
"I-I agreed to babysit their kids..." That's all it took for everyone to turn their suspicious glares into death glares.
"Guys can y'all stop looking at me like that? I-I'm getting nervous." Max laughed nervously.
"Did you just call kids 'PEOPLE'?!" Mariah shot him a look of disbelief.
"5 of them seriously?!" Julia looked at him incredulously.
"How old are they?" Kenny asked, fixing his glasses, as if he was getting ready for the chaos to arrive.
"Three of them are one, four, five and the other two are three. Twins." Max said, calculating with his fingers.
"Ah amazing. So you basically invited us to help babysit your cousins' kids? Or should I say a bunch of toddlers?! RIGHT?!" Hilary shot him a death glare.
"Hilary, please calm down." Max hid behind Kai, who was already done with the chaos, which hadn't even started yet.
"This is betrayal." Tala muttered, looking out of the window, planning to jump from there, if things got too hard.
"Relax guys! It's just five kids, we're ten. We'll handle them." Tyson spoke, earning incredulous looks from everyone else and Max muttered a small 'thanks' for having his back.
"I'm sorry to break it to you Tyson but with you in here, the nine of us, excluding you, are gonna have to babysit six kids! Yes you're the sixth kid!" Hilary rolled her eyes at him.
Just as Tyson was about to say something to defend himself, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go get it!" Max scurried off to get the door.
There they stood. His two cousins with their bunch of innocent looking chaotic gremlins.
"Thanks again, Max," his cousin said sweetly, adjusting the strap of her diaper bag. "They've already eaten and napped, so it should be easy!"
Max, the picture of fake confidence, flashed a thumbs-up. "Five toddlers? Pfft, child's play."
Tyson leaned against the wall behind him, arms crossed. "Literally."
As the two cousins handed over the five adorably chaotic children—Grady (1), Ember and Maeve (3), Skye (4), and Asher (5)—the group watched them pile into the living room like a pack of gremlins.
The door shut.
Ember screamed.
Grady burst into tears.
Maeve punched the TV screen.
Skye tripped over a cushion and faceplanted into Kai's leg.
Asher immediately asked if they had Beyblades.
"…we're so screwed," Tala muttered.
"Much more than just screwed." Kai muttered, helping the fallen Skye stand up on her feet.
And it was only 10 AM!
Grady couldn't stop wailing. "Why is he crying?" Julia shouted over Grady's screaming.
"I DON'T KNOW!" Tyson yelled back, frantically bouncing Grady in his arms like he was shaking a soda can.
"He wants to be walked!" Mariah shouted, googling "how to calm a baby" on her phone.
Tyson started pacing the room. "There! You see? He's chill now! I'm a natural."
Grady stopped crying.
Hilary blinked. "Oh my god, it worked—"
Tyson sat down.
Grady wailed again like he was dying.
"Oh hell no," Tala groaned. "You have to keep walking?!"
"I guess so?" Tyson looked at Tala, then at Grady, then sighed. "... It'll be a long day."
Meanwhile...
"I don't like your pants," Ember told Ray, hands on her hips.
Ray blinked. "Okay...?"
"I want glitter pants," she declared, then looked at Mariam. "You sparkle. You're cool. Not like him."
"Oh she's gonna be a problem," Mariam whispered, impressed.
Ray sighed, totally unimpressed.
Maeve was under the dining table. "I found gold!" she yelled, holding up a bottle cap.
"Give me that!" Julia crawled under after her.
"Too late, I ate it."
Julia hit her head on the table trying to yank her out. "YOU WHAT?!"
"She's lying," Ember said casually, now braiding Hilary's hair with pipe cleaners. "She just wanted to see if you'd freak out."
Julia was so close to screaming at the top of her lungs.
"She's evil," Hilary muttered, blinking through the assault on her scalp.
"She's three," Kai said, already regretting not leaving the moment Max opened up about his intentions of having everyone over.
The chaos continued erupting one after the other and now it was Skye's turn to cause chaos. It was 10:32 AM when..
Skye attempted a pirouette.
Skye fell.
Skye tried again.
Skye fell into Kenny.
Kenny dropped a juice box on his shirt.
"Okay, okay, let's sit down, buddy," Kenny said, trying not to sound like he was already on the verge of tears.
"I'm a girl," Skye said indignantly, pointing at the bright pink dress she was proudly wearing.
"…Buddyette?"
"You're not funny," Asher deadpanned.
"Get in line, kid," Tala muttered from the couch where he was now walking in circles with Grady himself, because the brat decided Tyson wasn't tall enough.
While walking in circles, Tala hit his pinky toe on the corner of a table and stumbled. Grady giggled.
"I hate this..." Tala groaned.
Meanwhile, Asher needed an ally. Then he found Tyson.
"Wanna teach me something cool?" he asked, eyes full of chaos.
Tyson grinned. "Kid, I was born for this."
That being said, it ended up with Asher standing on the coffee table with sunglasses.
Tyson holding a fan in front of him dramatically.
"I call this the 'Dragon King Jump!'" Asher yelled.
Kai walked into the room. "Get. Down."
Asher leapt.
Ray caught him mid-air with samurai reflexes and muttered, "I hate this day."
"WOHOOOOOO!" Asher yelled, clearly enjoying himself, with Tyson clapping for him.
Kai and Ray completely deadpanned.
Around 11 AM, the group breakdown had already begun. AND THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE TIME TO SPEND WITH THESE LITTLE MONSTERS!!
Hilary sat on the floor, Ember now trying to put stickers on her eyelids.
Mariah had Maeve duct-taped to a chair (lightly, for safety).
"This is unfair." Maeve glared at Mariah.
"I had to do that for the sake of peace." Mariah sipped her iced coffee.
Skye was wrapped in a blanket and gently rocking herself after knocking over a whole water jug in the kitchen. And Julia was cleaning up the mess.
Max was googling "can sugar make kids evil?"
Mariam was silently drinking juice from a sippy cup she stole from Asher, who was busy arguing with Kenny about tomato being a fruit and not a vegetable.
Ray was trying to find a playlist to calm toddlers and ended up playing a lo-fi mix that made Grady fall asleep mid-pacing.
Kai was pacing. With Grady. In silence. Dead inside. Eyes hollow. Because that brat decided again that Tala was too tall, and he needed a new stroller. And Kai was the perfect stroller.
Tala was watching Kai walk. "He's broken," he whispered.
Julia, now sitting on top of the dining table now, nodded. "He's one diaper away from going full robot mode."
Tyson was passed out on the couch with a juice box and Ember drawing cat whiskers on his face.
Another hour passed, comparatively smoothly, just a bit. That was until 12PM, when the lunch crisis began.
"Who wants lunch?" Max asked brightly, sweat glistening on his forehead like he just ran a marathon.
"Me!" Ember shouted.
"Not that!" Maeve screamed.
"I want purple!" Skye announced.
Asher said, "Let's make our own sandwiches!" and grabbed a butter knife.
Tyson tackled him mid-air like a linebacker. "OH no, little man. We don't do that here."
And Grady? Wailed. Again. Because Kai stopped for a second to catch his breathe.
Kai continued walking.
With Grady.
Still.
Ray looked at him like one stares at a man returning from war.
"I don't even know if he's awake anymore," Ray whispered.
"He's in autopilot," Tala confirmed. "His soul left three diaper changes ago."
"I swear if anything happens to Kai, I'm murdering Max-" Hilary grumbled under her breathe.
Meanwhile, Julia and Mariah were trying to prepare kid-friendly food.
"I said cheese sandwich," Julia muttered.
"She said she hates cheese," Mariah said.
"She said she loved cheese five minutes ago!"
"Kids lie."
Tala peeked in, sipping cold coffee. "There's jam on the curtains now, FYI."
"WHAT?!" Julia and Mariah shouted in unison.
Back in the living room, Mariam handed Ember a sandwich.
Ember sniffed it. "This smells like lies."
"It's literally peanut butter—"
"I HATE PEANUT BUTTER!"
Ember then flung the sandwich with Olympic precision right in Kenny's face. Skye clapped like it was a performance.
Tyson handed Maeve a cup of juice.
She immediately dumped it on his lap and giggled. "Oops."
"I need a therapist," Tyson whispered, inhaling deeply, as if he was inhaling more patience.
As more lunch tantrums continued, time passed, and it was around 12:37 PM. Kai had hit his limit. He was this close to being broken.
"Kai, dude," Max said gently, "you've been walking for an hour."
Kai stared straight ahead, not blinking. "If I stop, he cries."
"Okay but like… you could sit and—"
Grady shifted, preparing to scream.
Kai tightened his arms and resumed walking.
Tala shook his head. "There goes our fearless leader. Reduced to a stroller."
Meanwhile, Mariam bribed Maeve with gummy bears to eat two bites.
Julia finally got Ember to eat by pretending the sandwich was a spaceship.
Ray and Mariah were playing "tea party" with Skye, except it turned into "splash water on Ray's shirt and run" party.
Asher and Tyson were eating together on the floor, talking about fart noises TT and calling it "guy stuff."
It was peaceful… too peaceful.
Until...
Maeve found a paint set.
Nobody knows where it came from.
Nobody knows how she opened it.
But suddenly—red handprints on the couch.
Blue streaks on the wall.
Grady's face was green.
"OH MY GOD!" Hilary shrieked.
"NOT THE CURTAINS!" Max screamed.
"GET THE BABY!" Tala yelled.
Grady was giggling. Kai, still holding him, finally blinked and said, "He's... sticky."
"And green."
At 1PM, everyone had hit their limits.
Tyson's shirt: ruined.
Ray's sanity: gone.
Mariah's socks: painted.
Hilary's face: glitter-stickered.
Max: pacing and muttering.
Kai: finally sitting, cradling a sleeping Grady, whispering, "Don't you dare wake up."
Mariam: lying flat on the floor, letting Skye jump on her back, getting a free back massage.
Julia: chasing Maeve with a wet cloth to wipe paint off of her like it's a boss battle.
Tala: hiding in the pantry. "I'm not coming out unless it's nap time."
Kenny: had fainted.
Then came a moment of false peace. Somehow... somehow… the kids were now calm. Grady asleep. Ember drawing (on paper this time). Maeve chewing a crayon, without bothering anyone. Skye snuggled against Hilary. Asher and Tyson snoring side by side.
The house was a wreck.
The adults looked haunted.
Kenny, barely alive, mumbled, "Is it over?"
Max blinked. "...There's still three hours left."
A collective groan of despair echoed through the house.
—
At 1:30PM, Hilary decided it was nap time. For ALL OF THEM.
She clapped her hands. "Okay! Nap time!"
The three little girls stared at her like she'd just said "Let's eat socks."
Skye blinked. "But I'm not tired."
"You yawned seven times," Mariam pointed out.
"I yawn when I'm bored," Skye replied sassily.
Ember crossed her arms. "I only nap when the moon is out."
"The moon is literally not involved—" Julia started, before Ember stuck a sticker on her mouth.
Maeve screamed, "NAP TIME IS A CONSPIRACY!!", running away from Mariah before she could duct tape her to a futon this time.
"Oh God, I just want some sleep." Mariah muttered as she sat beside Ray, burying her face in his neck.
"Seems like we ain't getting any for the next few hours atleast." Ray muttered back, running his fingers through her hair, staring into space, completely zoned out.
At 1:35PM, Ember found the craft box.
Inside the craft box: glitter.
So much glitter.
Ray, Tyson, and Mariam were too tired to stop her.
So when Ember dumped a fistful of silver glitter on Kai's head like a royal coronation, nobody reacted immediately.
Kai blinked.
"...What is happening to me?"
"You're shiny now, you'll shine for the next two years!" Ember said.
"I want to be shiny!" Skye shouted and tackled Ray with a glue stick.
Ray: "NOPE—NO NO NO NO—"
Too late. His eyelashes were stuck with glue now. Sad life.
Meanwhile, Maeve, had locked herself inside the bathroom for unknown reasons. (She was giving barbie a bath.)
And Tala had one job: get Maeve out of the bathroom.
He tried reasoning. He tried bribery. He tried mimicking Barbie's voice.
Nothing worked.
"MAEVE," he finally yelled, "GET OUT RIGHT NOW."
The door cracked open just enough for her tiny hand to stick out and paint his entire face with foam soap.
Then she closed it again.
Tyson snickered, "You just got punk'd by a toddler."
Tala took a deep sigh, "She's five minutes from a summoning ritual and I'm scared."
At 2PM, Max's apartment was close to collapsing. Not literally.
Grady was still asleep and Kai was sitting like a statue holding him.
Skye was napping in a beanbag, while Hilary was under the beanbag, muttering inaudible curses under her breathe.
Ray was cleaning glue off his eyelashes.
Ember was busy cutting paper and naming each triangle. "This is Brian. He's a lawyer."
Maeve had finally gotten out of the bathroom, and was currently drawing angry cats on the wall with a stolen marker. And Julia was too tired to stop her.
Tyson and Asher, being best buddies of the day, were practicing ninja rolls using sofa cushions.
Tala was rocking himself in a corner and whispering to himself, "it's okay, Ivanov. You're still cool."
Max had ordered takeout and whispered to the delivery man, "bring chocolate, don't ask why." in a horrifying, raspy voice, straight out of a horror movie, as if he had been sleep deprived for 7 days.
At 2:20PM, came a little, just a little moment of silence. Which was appreciated by each of the adults because even getting a second of silence with these menaces around, was a blessing from God.
Everyone was still. Calm.
Then Ember whispered, "Let's play wedding."
Maeve shouted, "I'LL BE THE PRIEST."
Skye rose from her seat, "I want to marry the couch!"
Tyson enthusiastically shot up too, "I VOLUNTEER TO WALK THE BRIDE!"
Asher yelled, "WE NEED MUSIC!"
Ray, trying to fight a losing battle, tried to stop it. "No. No no. I refuse."
Mariah, accepting everyone's fate on their behalf, said, "Too late. It's happening."
Then started the WEDDING CHAOSS~!!!
Kai was the best man. Grady was the flower boy, who was still sleeping, now in Julia's arms, so she was stuck in the role. Tyson was the DJ and wedding planner, because Skye didn't want him to walk her down the aisle. And Skye herself? Was the bride, in a curtain veil. Maeve was the priest, wearing a bucket hat. And Asher... Well he was the ring bearer, bearing gummy rings.
Mariam inhaled, "Why are we doing this?"
Hilary exhaled, "Because it's easier than another tantrum."
Tyson shouted, "LET THE CHAOTIC MATRIMONY BEGIN!"
Maeve yelled, "I NOW DECLARE YOU—Couch and Skye—MARRIED!"
Kai clapped once. "Congrats on your upholstery-based relationship."
At around 3PM, had started the wedding reception chaos.
Skye, now "Mrs. Couch," sat proudly while Ember announced, "Time to dance!"
Ray groaned. "We're not actually—"
Too late. Tyson beatboxed. Asher started spinning like a top.
Maeve tried doing a backflip off the armrest and landed on Kai's foot.
Kai didn't scream.
He just slowly turned his glitter-dusted face to the heavens (Kenny was in the direction) and whispered, "Why me?"
Kenny deadpanned, "You were born for greatness. Now you're a dance floor."
In order to retrieve everyone from the chaos (which wAs nearly impossible), Max tried to calm everyone with snacks. A good idea in theory.
Bad idea in practice.
He gave them gummy bears.
Ember bit the head off hers and said, "I'm their queen now."
Maeve was double-fisting sugar. Before throwing them into Tala's face.
"Fuc-"
"They're kids, Tala." Julia shook her head.
"Fluff it!"
Skye yelled, "MY TEETH ARE VIBRATING."
Asher chimed in, "I CAN SEE SOUND!"
Tyson joined, "THIS IS THE BEST PARTY I'VE EVER BEEN TO!"
Mariah just handed a half bitten chocolate bar to Ray, who had decided that becoming a monk was his only solution to escape this hell of toddler-land, and muttered, "Eat. It's our only hope."
A few minutes passed and Grady woke up screaming. Again. Julia had left him to sleep on the futon because her hands were aching. Bad idea.
Kai stood, took him silently, and began pacing like a human stroller for the fourth time that day.
No words.
Just glitter. Glaring. And despair.
Hilary whispered, "Should we… help?"
Kenny shook his head, "He needs this. Let him walk it off. He's still processing the glitter thing."
Skye tried to follow them. "I want uppies too!!"
Kai looked at her, and deadpanned, "No. Back off."
Between the ongoing chaos, Maeve found the laundry room.
Maeve locked herself, again, this time in the laundry room.
Maeve somehow trapped Ember and Asher in there with her.
Panic. Sheer panic.
Tyson stood up, as if ready to go on a hiest, "We need a plan. I got this."
He knocked and whispered, "Hey Maeve... wanna be a dinosaur?"
"RAWR!" came three voices.
Max raised an eyebrow, "That wasn't a yes or a no, that was threatening."
Kenny sighed, "We're going to die in pastel hell."
Then, Julia tried talking through the door.
"Maeve, sweetie, you can't keep people hostage. That's a felony."
"I'M A FELONY PRINCESS!"
Tala sighed, lying flat on the floor.
"I can't believe I used to do spy-level missions. Now I'm scared of a toddler with a glitter wand and legal threats."
Julia sat beside him. "Same. She called me 'peasant' and made me hold a toilet paper scepter."
"...We're never having kids."
"NEVER."
After more fifteen minutes of back and forth, Mariah, decided enough was enough.
In full mom-mode, she walked to the door and shouted, "MAEVE WHATEVER YOUR LAST NAME IS, IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR IN THREE SECONDS, I'LL PERSONALLY ASK YOUR MOM TO NOT GIVE YOU ANY DESSERT FOR A WEEK."
Silence.
Click.
They emerged. Covered in fabric softener. Ember was wearing a sock like a crown. Maeve had a dryer sheet on her face like a mask. Asher looked proud.
Tyson's eyes widened. "That was impressive."
Mariah smirked, "You threaten what they love. That's Parenting 101."
"Atleast now I know that my kids are gonna grow up disciplined." Ray sighed in relief.
Mariah stared at him. He stared back at her.
"What?"
"What?"
Back in the living room, which was a mess, Hilary decided she'd make all the 4 menaces clean up their own messes.
Little did she know it was gonna be a round of Hilary VS 4 gremlins.
"Let's clean up!" Hilary cheered.
Asher, Maeve, Ember and Skye stared at her. Before erupting into laughter, as if she had cracked the funniest joke ever.
Hilary didn't care. She gave each one of them a small task.
Ember sat in the toy bin.
Skye kept falling into a pile of clothes.
Maeve started collecting "servants" a.k.a toys.
While Asher? Genuinely tried to help. Respect.
Meanwhile, Julia tried wiping the wall art and whispered, "I miss algebra. It made sense."
At 4:30 PM, the doorbell rang. Everyone took a huge sigh of relief, as if they hadn't breathed in a decade.
Max opened the door and in walked his two cousins, all smiles.
The kids ran upto their respective moms. Grady wasn't wailing anymore. Skye wasn't tripping over anything and everything. Maeve and Ember looked surprisingly well behaved while Asher just walked behind all of them, innocently as if representing that they all didn't cause a single second of chaos in the apartment.
"Did they behave well Max?" One of the cousins asked, with a smile but her smile faltered upon seeing each of the adults looking like they'd fought a war.
"Uhm... Are you guys okay?" The other cousin asked.
"Define okay." Kenny blinked.
"One locked herself in the bathroom." Tala spoke.
"The same one drew angry cats on the wall." Julia whined still wiping the wall.
"One married the couch." Mariam shook her head.
"One kept wailing the entire day." Ray said rubbing is temples.
"One kept acting like he's a ninja." Mariah deadpanned.
"One threw glitters on me and said I'm gonna shine for the next two years." Kai said, his arms crossed and eyes closed.
The two cousins of Max looked horrified, before apologising on behalf of their kids and leaving the apartment as soon as they could.
It was 4:45PM.
And they were finally free. From the responsibilities, which were never really theirs.
The toddlers were gone.
Silence.
Real, glorious silence.
The group just sat in silence. Some on the floor, some on the couch, one on top of the dining table and two on chairs. Completely worn out.
Glitter. Crayons. A cracked Barbie. Glue. Crushed chips. A ripped curtain veil. That was how Max's apartment looked.
Max mumbled, "We survived."
Tyson cheered up, "That was awesome. Let's do it again sometime!"
Everyone else, horrified, screamed. "NO."
Kai dropped onto the couch, eyes dead. "Wake me up next year."
Grady's rattle fell out of his pocket.
He didn't flinch.
"I swear if Max ever invites us in a group, I'm never coming again." Kenny let out an exasperated sigh.
"Heyy! We're friends right? Friends help each other." Max defended himself.
"You took advantage of us." Mariam deadpanned. Max laughed sheepishly.
"I mean how do you think I'd have done it all by myself?" Max asked. The others thought for two seconds before sighing in unison.
"I'm just glad you didn't invite Daichi." Hilary sighed, causing everyone to laugh at her statement.
It was one hell of a day. Eventful, long and mostly...
Chaotic.

Epilogue~
One week had passed, since the babysitting incident. The gang was still traumatized, from babysitting Max's nieces and nephews a week ago.
The gang was hanging out at a café, late afternoon because everyone had another free weekend, so why not spend it together? This time Emily and Daichi had joined them.
They all sat together, sipping their coffees, iced coffees, teas and drinks in absolute silence.
"Hey guys!" Max broke the silence. Everyone looked at him. "Yesterday one of my cousins came over and she gave me something, she said there's one for all of us." He said reaching over to get something from his bag.
Everyone looked at it suspiciously.
From the bag, Max pulled out a bunch of cards, and started distributing them, to their respective owners.
"WHERE'S MINE?!" Daichi yelled.
"There's none for you Daichi. You didn't babysit gremlins with us last week." Hilary deadpanned, as she was handed her card.
Everyone examined their cards, before a fond look replaced their suspicious glares. The cards had handwritten drawings of each one of them. They were all drawn with crayons and at the end of each card was written—
"T H a n K Y O U f O r T a K i n G c a r E O f u S"
They were all drawn by Maeve, Ember, Skye and Asher.
"Awwww... Those little monsters actually gave us something wholesome, this is amazing." Mariah cooed, looking at her card which had a mess drawing of herself holding a duct tape with an angry expression.
"This is so infuriatingly adorable." Hilary almost teared up on seeing her drawing on the card where she was wiping the floor with a pained expression.
"Ember really wanted to see me in sparkles." Ray nodded while holding up his drawing, in which he had sparkly pants.
"ASHER DREW ME WITH A BEYBLADE! HE'S DEFINITELY MY BEST BUDDY!!" Tyson was literally spinning like a beyblade out of pure joy.
"Ah I love this. I love gunny worms." Mariam smiled at her picture which was just her lying on the floor with gummy worms (apparently) lying on the floor beside her.
"Skye drew a sandwich on my face!" Kenny let out a sigh of exasperation causing the others to laugh.
"And here I am cleaning the walls." Julia rolled her eyes but smiled because Maeve drew a bow on her head.
"I absolutely hate this. Why am I blushing in this picture? This is not me. I refuse to believe." Tala muttered while examining the messily drawn picture of himself sitting at a corner with his expression looking like he's blushing and rocking himself.
"Hn. It's nice. Tell you cousins I said thanks." Kai said plainly, with slight warmth in his voice as he looked at himself drawn, looking like a robot, holding a baby (Grady).
"They're actually good artists." Max said, while he looked at his own card. He stood holding a frying pan, in that card drawing. "Maybe they're not that bad afterall."
"Oh trust me, they are!" Mariam shot him a look.
"As much as we appreciate this gesture, Max, please, just NEVER EVER agree to do that again." Hilary and Julia said in unison.
"Wait guys, there's something else. A note!" Max said scrambling through his bag as he pulled out the note.
"What does it say?" Ray asked.
"Thanks for being our... Babyslaves?"
"THEIR WHAT?!" Everyone groaned in unison.
"I WANT MY DRAWING TOO!" Daichi yelled after everyone.
Emily just sighed, at the chaos happening infront of her, secretly thanking her workplace for giving her a weekend shift the previous week.
And that, was all about their chaotic yet wholesome event of babysitting.
