Babysitting with Joel and Joonas

Note:

Sofia Kaunisvesi, 1,5-years-old. Daughter of Aleksi Kaunisvesi.

Babysitting... What an easy task, right? Aleksi had to leave town for work stuff, so he left his only child in the care of Joel and Joonas. What could possibly go wrong? Joonas had a godson, so he was somehow familiar with little children. Joel, on the other hand, had no experience of those tiny creatures. Of course he'd seen Aleksi take care of Sofia, but that's pretty much it. It would've been a safer option to ask Olli or Niko to take care of her, but they happened to be out of town too. Tommi was on vacation with his family. So, as you can guess, the two blondes were the only option left.

"How do you get a baby to stop crying?" Joel asked, scratching the back of his head. Sofia was crying and yelling like crazy, Joel didn't know what to do.

"C'mon man, you're not helping at all." Joonas huffed. He was walking back and forth while holding the baby.

"The fuck you blaming me for? Wasn't my idea to ask me to come here." The tall singer defended himself, putting his hands in the air to surrender.

It took them a while, but now Sofia had finally stopped crying. She was happily playing on the ground with her toys while the two blondes were watching TV. Joel stood up to go and get something to eat, but he hit his toe on the corner of the table in the process. A long list of insults and curses was thrown at the table. Meanwhile Joonas was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Fucking hell! This fucking table can fuck off!" He yelled, the curly haired one finally let his laughter echo inside the house. The fun ended as Sofia opened her mouth.

"Fuck." Was heard from the baby. The two men turned to look at the small creature. She was officially at the age of learning new words and mimicking. Of course that one word she picked up was fuck.

"Oh shit." Joel said rather surprisedly.

"Shit." The baby mimicked, making Joonas turn to his friend.

"Don't say anything dude! Shut up. Maybe she forgets your bad words." He tried to get rid of the situation.

"Fuck." Sofia repeated. Now the two men were in trouble.

"Do not say that." Joonas told the baby with furrowed brows.

They continued their day without any bigger drama. Sofia seemed to start to like Joel too. They even played together! Well, until the child threw a lego block at him. Apparently the girl was pretty hard to please. Joonas had fun, though. Looking at his friend getting thrown with legos by a baby was definitely on his bucket list. If there were only the two of them, Joel would already have told him a couple of pretty words. But luckily for the guitarist, there was a child in the house.

The day was almost over, soon her dad would be back. It meant that soon the two blondes would be free to go. Not that they didn't like the baby, of course it wasn't anything like that. But looking after a small human being can be a little exhausting. Especially, when you're not used to having them around. Joonas really liked children, but Joel was a bit hesitant with them. He just didn't know how to deal with them. Fortunately he wasn't left alone with her, that would've been a mayhem.

The door flew open, Aleksi had arrived. He was quick to kick off his shoes and head into the living room to greet his friends, and of course his lovely child. As soon as he saw her, he kneeled and picked her up. She looked more than happy to have her dad home with her.

"Thanks again, guys. I don't know what I'd do without you." He told them with a warm smile.

"No problem, man. Always happy to see our little angel." Joonas replied and walked by the man holding his child. Joel got up too, they both headed towards the hall.

"And you, little miss. I don't think you have any idea how much I missed you." The black haired man babbled and pressed a little kiss on her forehead.

"Fuck." Sofia then said happily, looking straight into Aleksi's eyes. The younger man turned to look at his friends with a questioning face.

"Shit." Joonas mumbled as quietly as possible, looking at the older blonde.

"Shit." The baby mimicked, making Aleksi furrow his brows.

"Yeah, see you next week! It was nice to help." Joel said and waved goodbyes, rushing out of the door with Joonas right behind him. The door was shut and Aleksi was left alone with his swearing baby.

"You've got to be kidding me." He mumbled to himself.

"Shit."

"Yeah, exactly."
