Raising Sailor

"I want them back!"

2 months later....

Ace's arm had healed leaving just a huge scar going up his arm.
He told me he was going to tell people a shark had bit him and that's how he got the scar, since we live by the sea. But Levi said it would have been in the news if that was to really happen.
I think I would believe him if he told me.

But I was snapped out of my thoughts when Austin Hayden and Cameron came downstairs.
"Sailor you know we won't be here for the next two days, right?" Asked Austin.
I looked at him sad and confused.
"What? Why not!"
"Cameron is taking Hayden and I to a huge fight that is happening in the city! Ace is going to babysit you and Levi!"
"I don't want you to leave! And I am not a baby I don't need a babysitter!"
"Yes you do!"
"No I don't!"

"Stop fighting! It's only two days!" Said Cameron.
"Two days too much!"
They all had one suitcase between them.
I didn't know why they didn't tell me sooner?

Then Ace came downstairs.

Ace's POV:

I came downstairs to ask some....questions about the next two days and the rest of today.
I would have to look after Sailor and Levi, well mostly Sailor.
And I knew nothing about looking after kids.
If you had told me just a year ago I would be here going to look after a 5 year old, I would have laughed in your face.

I would have never thought in a million years that I would be so soft.
But then again it wasn't my choice to exactly babysit them.

"So um...what am I meant to do tomorrow?" I asked.
"Just make Sailor breakfast and make sure they don't die!" Responded Austin.

That should be easy!

"But what if Sailor has a tantrum?" I asked.
"Just tell her to go to her room!"
"What if they get hurt?"
"You can call us!"
"But what if-."
"Listen Ace, we trust you, they will be fine and so will you!"

I am glad they trust me but, I don't even trust myself...

"I know what to do, to make you less nervous!" Said Hayden.
"Yeah?"
"I'll just make up a scenario and you tell me what you would do!"

That wasn't a bad idea, and I think it would help, so I agreed.

"Okay, what would you do if Sailor smashed a glass?" He asked.
Easy!
"I would shout at her and tell her to clean it up!" I said confidently.

But Hayden just looked shocked.
What?
Did I say something bad?

"What no! You tell her it's okay and that accidents happen and help her clean it up!"
"Oh.."

"Next question! What would you do if one of them was to fall and cut their knee?"
Pfft! Come on this is a bit too easy.
"I tell them to suck it up?"
"Seriously? No you help them, give them a plaster or something!"
"Oh.."

You can't blame me, I'm not good with kids!

"You'll be fine, I think!" Said Hayden.
But just as he was going to get up Sailor jumped on top of Hayden.

"NO DON'T LEAVE ME! HE IS GOING TO KILL US! I HEARD EVERYTHING!" she sobbed clinging onto Hayden.

God!
I have to spend the next two days with her?
Kill me.

"You'll be fine Sailor!"
"I WON'T! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not that bad!"
"YES YOU ARE!" She cried.
