Ghost

Chapter Ninety Nine

Spencers POV

      "Hold the phone here Tony, I have never watched a kid in my life. I have no idea what to do with them. You know I'm a criminal, right? I didn't really have a childhood and.."

       "Woah, Spencer. Breath. First, did you really just say 'hold the phone?' And second, I trust you. It won't be for that long. She's an easy going kid. And you're practically a kid. Should get along fine," he tries to convince me.

       "Hey!" I say, slightly offended but also knowing it's a little true.

       "Bub, you'll be alright. We'll be back before you know it," Nat says as she once again wraps me in her arms.

        "But I don't know what kids do. I don't know how to take care of them. What if she like starts crying or something?" I continue to spiral.

        "Spencer. You've got this. You kick ass at everything. I'm sure Morgan will love you."

         "But should I have like a training session first or something? I don't think I'm qualified. I don't even know what to feed her. Like what does she eat?" I ramble.

         "I like cheeseburgers."

          I bring my head down to look at the tiny human that just spoke.

          I take a moment.

         "I like cheeseburgers, too," I tell her.

         This brings a big smile on her face. She lets go of Tony's hand and grabs ahold of mine. I just look at our hands with wide eyes.

          "We can make cheeseburgers!" She says excitedly.

         I look up to Tony in panic and they are geared up and already heading out the door. "You can't leave me," I say to anyone who will listen.

        "Sorry, we really have to go. Thanks a bunch though! I totally owe you one!" Then Tony is gone out the door.

        "But.." I try one last time

        "Spencer, you'll be fine. You've got this," Nat sends me a wink as she follows Tony out the door.

       "Lena, what do I do?"

       "Sorry, I don't think I would be of any help."

       Damn it. They're leaving me like rats on a sinking ship.

       Then I feel a hand on my arm, bringing my attention to it. I follow the hand up to the face.

       "It'll be alright Spencer. We all trust you. Morgan will love you," Wanda sends me her best smile, but also leaves me.

      And it's just me and the kid.

      Awesome.

      Nothing could go wrong.

     "I'm all alone.. there's no one here beside me.." I whisper sing.

      Then there's a tug on my arm. I look down to the tiny person trying to get my attention.

      "What are we going to do?" She asks me quietly.

     "Um.. what do you want to do?" Hoping she'll be able to help me out here. I mean, she has to know what she needs, right?

      "My dad said you have powers."

      "I do."

      "Can you show me?"
