"Where is mom & dad when we need them?"

"You go take care of 'em, you're better at it than I am." Lester mumbled. "There are two babies there. You're going with me!" I said, dragging him out of his bed.

He then goes along with it and follows me to our younger twin siblings room.

Our parents were gone for 2 days and they told us to take care of our baby brother and sister for 3 nights.

We entered their room and there they were, in their cribs, crying like crazy.

I took Tommy and Lester took May. We shushed them down. We'd usually know why they're crying. But this time, it wasn't the diaper, it wasn't hunger not was it getting slightly hurt.

"God, what's up with them?" I said, rocking, Tommy. "I don't know, maybe they're scared?" "Maybe, let's just take em to our rooms." I said. We did so. I laid Tommy in my bed and Lester laid May in his.

We cover them with our blankets and gave them their chewy toy so they'd get distracted.

"What could they have been scared of?" I said. "What if there's a ghost in there?" Lester said, scared too. "Shut up, babies aren't scared of ghosts. Plus, I don't think scary demons like babies 'cause they are still very scared creatures." I said.

"Well what if they actually did something bad? It made the demon show up right in front of their eyes looking extremely scary..." He said.

"Shut up or the demon will go into your dreams!" I teased him. "Don't say that! He might've heard it." "The demon? They hear everything. So does angels."

"Whatever, let's just shush 'em down." He said and we did so.

They finally got to bed which finally gives us a rest.

"Alright, Tommy's knocked out. I'm going to bed." I said, laying next to Tommy. "May is too."

"I'll see you in the morning." I said.

"What is all this racket?" Lester mumbled, walking in the kitchen.

"Since when did you become a stay-at-home mom?" "Shut up, it's fun. Cooking while carrying a baby. Isn't it, Tommy?" I said to tommy while I have him carried in my left arm.

"Where's May?" I asked. "She's still asleep." "Did you put pillows around her?" He nodded.

"Good."

Then we heard a call from outside. It was the gang.

"Let em in, they know we can't play until tomorrow." I said. Lester lets the whole gang in.

"Hey Mrs. Averman." Charlie says, sitting down at the dinner table without looking at me. "I'm not married, Charlie." He then finally looks at me.

"Oh Y/n, why do you look and act like a stay-at-home mom?" He asks. "Because I have two tiny creatures to take care of." I said. "Don't say that, babies are awesome." Says Goldberg.

"Try actually having one in your hands." I said. "Can we have some of this?" Guy asks, looking at the pancakes on the table.

"Sure, I knew y'all would come over so I made a lot." I said. "Thank you, I have not ate much this morning." Says Connie.

Then we heard May's cry.

I look at Lester. "Go get her."

"Can I hold Tommy?" Fulton asks. "Of course, watch the head." I said, handing Tommy to him.

Then, Lester comes out with May.

He puts her in her baby seat.

"Oh, here's May's food." I said, handing it to him. He then feeds her.

"How do you guys live like this? I would've been in a billion panic attacks if I lived like you." Says Adam.

"Because Adam, I'll be taking care of one of my own." I said. "You're pregnant?" He shouts.

"Yes I totally am, Adam. With Leonardo DiCaprio's child. It's gonna be a girl." I said, sarcastically. "Very funny, Y/n."

"You guys are lucky y'all don't have a 4 year-old girl always screaming at your house." Says Jesse, talking about his baby cousin.

"You're lucky you don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to check on 2 babies." I replied.
