The Queen Sisters

April's Babysitting Troubles

Author's Note: If you have read my story Ask Little Mal And Her Family I mentioned that Mal was already doing dance class, but I decided to change up the order of a lot of things in that story and this one because I have a lot of ideas from that book that I want to do in this one, but they were supposed to have happened already, so I'm changing up the order incase you get confused. Anyway in this one Mal hasn't been to dance class before, so this is her first time in the studio other than the one time she went with Evie and the others in Parenting Is Hard. Well I just thought I should mention that anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you thought.

"Mal stop playing with your food and eat it!" April screamed out in frustration as she wasn't used to being with Mal all by herself and while she loved her little sister she was really struggling with watching her.

"No! I don't like this! I want dragon nuggets!" The small four year old screamed out as she pushed the food away refusing to eat it.

"Mal Bertha Queen! I am not playing! Eat that food or I'm taking that stupid dragon toy away! You have 10 minutes to finish that or I'm taking it away because I have work and you have to come with me! I'm not playing this game all day! I'm not Evie!" April screamed out as she couldn't get Mal to eat her lunch and it was driving her insane.

Mal just huffed as she hugged her dragon closer to her. "You're no fair! Mommy would make me dragon nuggets!" Mal screamed out making April roll her eyes as she was sick of Mal always comparing everything she did to what Evie did.

That was all she heard all day. "Mal I am not Evie! We are out of dragon nuggets! Eat that or the dragon gets taken away! I'm serious Mal!" April screamed out making Mal huff again as she pushed her food off to the side of the plate with her fork.

"I ate it!" The small girl screamed out making April roll her eyes as she could see Mal just pushed her food into a smaller pile. "No you didn't! Mal pushing it to one side of the plate does not mean you ate your food! 5 minutes Mal!" April lectured out as she walked off to call Nick who had agreed to get them to New Hope, Wisconsin.

Mal just huffed again as she continued to play with her food, but Mal smiled when she saw her dog was under the table as she got an idea.

The small girl made sure her big sister was distracted as she quickly dumped her food on the floor and smiled when her dog immediately started to eat it. "Hurry Dragon! She's gonna come back soon! Eat faster!" The four year old "quietly" screamed out to her dog.

"Mal!" April called out when she saw Mal's dog eating all of Mal's food, making Mal freeze as she knew she was caught. "Dragon! That was my food! Bad doggy!" The young girl told her dog trying to blame her dog.

April just groaned as she couldn't do it anymore. "Mal! Dragon did not take your food! You gave it to her! It's fine you just won't be getting this back until Evie gets home and I will be telling her about this! I better not hear you complain about being hungry either!" April told the small girl in frustration, making the four year old start freaking out as she reached for her dragon that April took away.

"GIVE HER BACK! GIVE HER BACK! GIVE HER BACK! I WANT STRAWBERRY! I WANT STRAWBERRY! I WANT STRAWBERRY! YOU'RE A MEANIE! I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE! I WANT MOMMY!" The small four year old cried out at the top of her lungs just as the doorbell rang making April groan as she opened the door.

"Woah what is going on here," Nick playfully asked Apri when he could hear Mal's screams from her room as she had "locked" herself in her room again, making April roll her eyes.

"Mal refused to eat her lunch and I warned her that if she didn't eat it I would take her dragon away," April told Nick, making him laugh as he found it funny whenever April tried to parent.
