"i'm so excited." talia said, tugging on karl's car door, waiting on him to unlock it.

earlier that morning karl had gotten a call from chris asking if him and talia would be interested in babysitting his son, tucker, while he and his wife went to have dinner with some friends. karl agreed, knowing talia would be overjoyed. she always loved getting to see tucker. she'd often find herself sneaking off to find chris during mr. beast shoots, asking him if katie and tucker would be coming.

karl tried to keep himself from laughing as he saw talia leg bouncing in anticipation the entire car ride to chris' house.

as soon as they stepped foot in the house, tucker let out a high pitched squeal and clapped in excitement at seeing karl. the two had such a special bond. and even though the almost one year old wasn't speaking besides his simple 'mama' and 'dada', it wasn't hard to pick up on the fact that karl was one of his favorite people.

"okay i think that's every thing you should need, and again, please don't hesitate to call if you need anything." katie said, racking her brain for anything she may have been forgetting.

"calm down, they'll be fine. if it was just karl i would be worried, but talia's got this." chris teased.

"you guys have fun," talia said as she followed them to shut the door behind them. "say bye, tucker."

the baby was too busy crawling on top of karl and trying to poke his cheeks to even notice his parents leaving.

the three instantly started playing. tucker grabbed both of their hands, using them both for balance and to lead them to his bedroom. he crawled around until he found a bouncy ball in the middle of all of his toys. he handed it to karl which instantly started an almost thirty minute long game was karl would roll the ball to tucker who would then throw it back to karl. when karl caught the ball, he would roll onto his back, pretending to fall down, which caused tucker to break into a huge fit of laughter, so of course karl couldn't stop.

after quite a bit of playing that, tucker stood and seemed to lock in on his toy chest, but when he went to take a step he lost balance and fell over, landing on his bottom. and while he couldn't of hurt himself, he instinctively stuck out his bottom lip before letting out a sad cry.

"oh no, no, no. come here buddy." talia jumped up and quickly grabbed the baby. she sat with her legs crossed on the floor and rocked him while he had his arms and legs wrapped around her.

karl watched her contently. she was always so gentle and caring with tucker. but also with everyone. it came so natural to her to take make sure the people around her were taken care of.

he leaned over and rubbed the sniffling baby's back to try and soothe him. talia looked up and gave karl a soft smile. he couldn't help but grin while he got lost in her deep, brown eyes.

they fed tucker dinner, which resulted in karl's shirt getting food all over it. and the bath they gave him resulted in talia's hair getting wet when he splashed her, which he found hilarious. to avoid any more mess, they thought it was be easiest to end the night with watching a movie together.

karl called dibs on picking the movie, since he was the self proclaimed cartoon expert. they were only about 10 minutes into watching cars when tucker, who was just contently sitting with talia, began whining and stretching his arms out towards karl.

he went and picked up the baby, letting him recline onto him. and while talia was a bit jealous that she wasn't tucker's first choice, she couldn't help but admire how sweet the boys' relationship was. despite their over twenty year age difference, and their inability to communicate verbally, they acted like best friends.

something was so domestic about this. about talia and karl working together to make sure that this little baby was taken care of and happy. these were talia's favorite moments with karl. when they would be spending normal everyday moments together, like watching the cars movie and sitting on opposite ends of the couch, and not feeling the need to fill the air with words.

it was sweet moments where karl's quiet presence meant more to her than someone else's pointless conversation would.

she glanced over and watched as the baby grabbed onto karl's finger, and karl let his thumb rub the back of his hand. karl tucked in his lips as he focused on the screen.

it reminded her of when they were in high school.

the two best friends had weekly movie nights, and often talia found herself staring at karl. he was always so intrigued with every moment of a movie, not wanting to miss anything. but talia was okay with missing a few details if it meant she could get a moment of admiration. she locked in on his big blue eyes, watching them bounce around the tv screen to take everything in. or she would try and trace the pattern of the curls in his hair, even though there wasn't a ton of rhyme or reason to the direction that they followed.

even though that was high school, talia was confused as she found herself falling into this same pattern all over again.
