5 boys +1

Author's note: this chapter goes to ILovelouisandjustin because man can that girl write ! Ella Es asombroso or " she's amazing !" in Spanish. In this chapter, I get into trouble with Uncle Tom for saying a dirty word. Kiara is zayn's daughter. Same one from the earlier chapter. This chapter isn't edited, I'm tired. Sorry for any and all slip ups.

Chapter four: dirty words, and corners

Age: 4

Tom's pov

I hear a sickening thud, then complete silence. You can bet your boots that it scared me senseless. I run toward where I heard the sound. Once I get on the scene, I take a minute to assess the situation. Lucy is sitting at the base of the stairs, sobbing, and holding her arm. Her arm is not a pretty sight. It isn't broken, just very bruised. I look up to the top of the stairs, where Lucy's friend kiara is hiding. Right about now, she's probably wishing that she could disappear. I call "kiara Jasmine malik. Get. Down. Here. NOW."

I pause then warn "don't make me come get you, kiara." She starts down, then I turn to Lucy. I ask "what happened, babe ?"

Lucy whimpers "she p - pushed me."

I turn and glare at kiara.

I quiz "is that true kiara ?"

She nods and confirms "yes sir. It is, but Lucy started it. She wouldn't share."

Lucy protests "that's not true ! You pushed me !"

I intervene " okay. Here's what'll happen. Kiara, you're going home. Lucy, let me look at your arm." Lucy whines, but I won't give in.

I snap "kiara. Corner. Now."

She pouts, which earns her a swat. After that one swat, she cooperates. I check the damage to Lucy's arm, it's nothing that a kiss won't fix. I give Lucy's arm a kiss, and she goes from crying to giggling in two minutes flat. After this, I go and retrieve kiara from the corner. I have no clue at all as to why Lucy says this, but she smirks at kiara, then announces " you're screwed. Uncle tom's really not happy with you." Oh, man. My niece did NOT just say that. She is SO in for it.

I instruct "Lucy. Corner. NOW. Where did you learn that word ?"

She replies "from uncle Nathan. He said I'm not s'posed to use it, though." Why does that not surprise me in the slightest ? Nathan said it, luc repeated it. Go figure. Lucy puts up a fight about going to the naughty corner, that's not much of a shocker, at all. I snap my fingers, then point to the corner. She still won't go willingly, so that's when I start to count. "10." "9." "8."

"7." I give her a chance to go, then resume my count. She knows that if I reach one, she'll be saying "owie." "6." "5." "4." "3."

I pause one final time.

I reiterate "Lucy Skye. Corner, now. You know what'll happen if I reach one." Lucy crosses her arms, and her mile wide stubborn streak kicks in.

I resume "2." "1."

That's it. She's gonna be saying "owie."

I don't do tantrums. I pick my niece up, smack her bottom, then walk her to the naughty corner. I caution "do not move an INCH. You'll get it worse if you disobey me."

She nods, so I turn and walk away. I hear her mumble " eres significar, tio tom."

Well, the good lord only knows what that's supposed to mean. No big deal, but why do I get the feeling that I've just been insulted by a little one ? She might have just insulted me in Spanish. Oh, good grief.

Lucy's pov

Let me just get this straight, I love knowing Spanish. Yes, I'm sure everybody wants to know what I said to Uncle Tom. I didn't call him a name, ok ? I just said "you're mean, Uncle Tom." I'd be in hot water if I called him a name. Then again, el no habla espanol. El habla ingles. Well anyway, back to what happened. He actually put me in the corner. I didn't think he'd do it. He did, and now my bottom hurts.

Tom's pov

I call zayn, explain what happened, and he walks over to collect kiara. One direction live a couple of blocks away from us. Zayn knocks on the door, and he looks livid. Kiara ducks behind my legs when she sees her daddy. I step to the side, and zayn picks her up.

I scoff "sorry, babe. I'm not gonna get you outta this one. Uh - uh. Yeah, no."

She gives me a watery smile, then they leave. I shut the door, then go back to Lucy. I enter the living room, walking to the couch.

"Lucy, come here. Now, please."

She does as told, which sorta surprises me.

Lucy pleads "no spanking ! I sorry ! m'sorry! Please no ! I don't want one ! I sorry !"

"Sorry, luc. You aren't getting out of it. I wasn't planning on doing it, but then you disobeyed me. Lets just get it done."

I figure thirty ought to be enough. I pull luc over my knee, then start hard and fast. Thirty later, luc is bawling. I pull up her panties, which makes her shriek. She quickly tries to pull them down, but I stop that with a firm "no."

I flip her dress down and she goes to rub.

I say "no. No rubbing, babe. That's part of your punishment." She cries even harder at that piece of news. I pick her up and cuddle her. I also send a prayer heavenward that her tears will disappear. I don't like making my niece cry.

I ask "so, luc. What'd you learn, babe ?"

She answers " not to use dirty words. I sorry Uncle Tom."

" it's okay, babe. Never say that again, though."

"I won't cause my bottom hurts."

"I know it does. It's supposed to, babe."
