Teenage Daddy

Ch. 3 - Trouble

Kian's POV
"Daddy! Daddy!" James said from his room.
I got up and went into his room. He was standing up in his crib, sucking on his pacifier.
"Hey lil man. Did you have a good nap?" I asked.
He giggled and nodded. He put his arms up, signaling he wants to be held, so I set him on my hip. He squirmed out of my arms and ran to the bathroom and shut the door. About 2 minutes later, he came out and smiled.
"That's why you wanted out." I said.
He giggled and we walked down stairs. JJ was on the couch watching TV and Jc was doing something on his laptop in the kitchen.
"You should make a video introducing James. I bet the girls would go crazy over him." Jc said.
"I will tomorrow." I said.
"Video?" James asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Daddy makes funny videos. So does Uncle Jc. Uncle JJ takes really cool pictures." I said.
"Thanks Kian." JJ said.
I threw a pillow at him, which he dodged. James laughed and ran to the couch. He climbed up and sat down.
"Spwongebwob!" He said.
"Huh?" we all said.
He pointed to the TV.
"Spwongebwob." he said.
"Ohhh..." I said.
I turned on Spongebob and he clapped his hands. This kid is pretty cute.
I took a pic of him and sent it to Ricky, Connor, Sam, Trevor, and Dom.
Kian- Meet my new son :)
Trevor- Hold up. Son??
Sam- What girl did you knock up??
Kian- Wow, thx Sam. He's adopted.
Dom- No shit Sherlock but why?
Kian- I wanted to...
Ricky- Seriously Kian
Kian- Okay okay. It was a dare, but he's adorable. His name is James. He's 2.
Dom- Let me guess: Dare or Extreme Dare with Jc and JJ?
Kian- Maybe...
Connor- He is cute, just be careful with him. Don't let him fall down the stairs or somethin
Kian- Wow thx for the support Con -_-
Connor- I'm kidding. You know that. But do he careful with him.
Kian- I will. Gtg. Later dudes ✌
It was 5:00, so I played with James for a bit and then started on dinner.
"Wow. I've never seen you in the kitchen making real food more than once a week." Jc said.
"Oh what? You want me to feed a toddler Taco Bell or Mc Donald's everyday??" I asked sarcastically.
"Chill. There's nothing wrong with it. It's good actually." he said.
I shrugged and decided to make spaghetti with a side of peas and carrots since he needs veggies.
By the time I finished making the food, James was starving. I lifted him up into his high chair and gave him his food and a baby fork.
He ate the spaghetti happily, getting it all over his face, shirt, and hands again, but didn't touch his veggies.
"Eat the veggies too buddy." I said, putting some peas on the fork.
I put it at his mouth, but he closed it shut and turned away.
"C'mon James. You gotta eat them. They're yummy, look." I said, putting them in my mouth and swallowing.
"Yucky peas!" he said, shaking his head side to side.
"C'mom just a few bites." I said, trying to give him another spoon full.
"No!!" he said and pushed the fork away.
"How about carrots?" I asked, putting a baby carrots towards his mouth.
He bit it, made a weird face, and spit it out.
"You gotta eat at least one of your veggies." I said.
"No beggies (veggies)!" He screamed.
"Woah. Some one isn't happy." JJ said.
"Really?? I wonder who." I said sarcastically.
I tried giving him another spoon of peas, which didn't end well. He grabbed the spoon and chucked it across the kitchen, almost hitting Jc in the head.
"James, we don't throw." I said.
"Put him in timeout. That's what my mom used to do with my brother and sister."Jc said, picking up the spoon and spilled peas.
I nodded, took James out of his high chair, and carried him upstairs. I set him in his crib, which didn't make him happy.
"You're in timeout for throwing that spoon." I said.
His lip quivered and he flopped onto his butt and started crying.
Now I feel bad. My first day with my new son and I made him cry. Nice going Captain Genius...
"Are you gonna be good now?" I asked, after two minutes.
He nodded and rubbed his eyes, wiping away the tears.
"Can you say sorry?" I asked.
"S-sowy (sorry)." He said, sniffling.
I picked him up and he immediately wrapped his arms around my neck.
I hated seeing him cry, so I'm hoping I won't have to put him in time out again.
I carried him back downstairs and I gave him some broccoli instead, which he ate. I cleaned him off and set him down. He started playing with some blocks while I cleaned up the kitchen.
At 6:30, I was gonna give him a bath.
I filled the bath tub with warm water, bubbles, and some rubber bath toys.
I undressed James and started carrying him towards the tub.
He saw the water and he didn't like it. He started squirming in my arms, trying to get away.
"No bafh (bath)!" he grunted, trying to free himself.
"Yes bath. You need to be clean." I said and put him into the water.
It was a struggle to keep him in and stay dry, but I eventually washed his hair. As soon as I looked away to get his body wash, he jumped out of the tub and out the door.
"James come back!" I said, chasing after him.
For a two year old, he was really fast.
Next thing I know, there's a naked toddler running around the house, leaving a trail of bubbles and water. I' surprised he didn't slip.
"James come back!" I said as I chased him through the living room.
JJ got off the couch and picked him up before he could run past him.
"No bafh (bath)!" he said as JJ handed him to me.
"Told you it would get harder." I said as I carried him upstairs.
JJ laughed and followed us to help me.
It took a good 20 minutes to wash his body, and we were soaked by the time we were done, but at least James was cleaned.
I dried him off and put him in some Monsters Inc pajamas. I brushed his teeth and let him play for a little while.
At 8:00, I gave him a sippy cup of milk and put him in his crib. He was out in a matter of minutes. I smiled, turned off his light, and slightly closed his door.
I went downstairs and told the guys I was going to bed.
"Bro is it's 8:30." Jc said.
"And I'm beat. Night." I said.
"Good night." they both said.
I went upstairs, took a shower, and fell asleep faster than James.
