The rookie Groupchat

Mr And Mrs Babysitter Pt4

Lucy Chen:
How are Jack and Emmy doing?

Angela Lopez:
Oh look, she lives!

Wesley Evers:
The dead rise.

Lucy Chen:
Ha. Ha. Very funny. Now answer my question.

Angela Lopez:
They're great! Jack's back to his Legos, and Emmy is currently bossing Wesley around, demanding princess treatment.

Wesley Evers:
I have made her exactly four different breakfasts because, and I quote, "None of them feel magical enough."

Lucy Chen:
😂😂😂 Sounds about right.

Angela Lopez:
Now you talk. How are you feeling?

Wesley Evers:
Yeah, last we heard, you were one step away from being wheeled into an emergency room.

Lucy Chen:
I'm getting better. Fever's down, not throwing up anymore. Just super exhausted.

Angela Lopez:
That's good.

Lucy Chen:
Yeah. Though I think I have a new problem.

Wesley Evers:
What now?

Lucy Chen:
Tim.

Angela Lopez:
...What about Tim?

Lucy Chen:
He won't leave me alone.

Tim Bradford:
Excuse me???

Wesley Evers:
Oh, this just got so much better.

Angela Lopez:
We need details. Spill.

Lucy Chen:
Fine. Example one: I said I think I might be cold. Next thing I know? Tim disappears and comes back with five different blankets.

Wesley Evers:
FIVE??

Lucy Chen:
FIVE. Like I'm some Victorian child on her deathbed.

Angela Lopez:
😂😂😂

Tim Bradford:
You were shivering! And I didn't know which one you'd like!

Lucy Chen:
Oh, it gets worse. Example two: I mentioned that my throat was dry. This man leaves and comes back with tea, honey, three types of cough drops, and some fancy organic honey lozenges that I'm pretty sure he had to special order.

Angela Lopez:
I am crying.

Wesley Evers:
Tim Bradford, Certified Tough Guy™, personally tracking down fancy lozenges for his sick girlfriend. We love to see it.

Tim Bradford:
...They were highly rated.

Lucy Chen:
Example three: I tried to get up and go to the bathroom by myself. He physically picked me up and carried me back to bed.

Angela Lopez:
NO HE DID NOT.

Lucy Chen:
Oh, he did. Said I was "too weak" and I "wasn't walking anywhere on his watch."

Wesley Evers:
I have never heard something more on brand for Tim.

Angela Lopez:
Tim, be honest. You think she's made of glass now, don't you?

Tim Bradford:
...I wouldn't say glass.

Lucy Chen:
🙄

Angela Lopez:
Look at him trying to be tough. Tim, it's okay. We all know you have a soft spot for Lucy.

Tim Bradford:
I do not.

Wesley Evers:
Buddy. You bundled her up like a burrito and hunted down imported cough drops.

Angela Lopez:
Just accept it. It's cute.

Tim Bradford:
Whatever. She's sick. I'm taking care of her. That's all.

Lucy Chen:
Suuure. And I'm the Queen of England.

Angela Lopez:
Tim, just admit it—you're wrapped around her finger.

Tim Bradford:
I am not.

Lucy Chen:
Then let me get up.

Tim Bradford:
Absolutely not. You need rest.

Wesley Evers:
😂😂😂 Busted.

Angela Lopez:
Tim, we approve of your methods. Please continue spoiling our sick friend.

Tim Bradford:
I wasn't asking for approval.

Lucy Chen:
Well, you're not getting mine. Stop hovering.

Tim Bradford:
Not a chance. Now drink your tea.

Lucy Chen:
I hate you.

Tim Bradford:
No, you don't.

Angela Lopez:
This is the best thing I've read all day.

Wesley Evers:
Same. Lucy, enjoy your doting nurse. Tim, keep up the good work.

Lucy Chen:
I'm suffocating both of you first.

Tim Bradford:
See? This is why you need supervision.
