chapter 11

"Hello handsome," A soft voice whispers from behind the concentrated and stressed out brunette. He was seated in the dining room of the house where he babysits the three kids. Piles of papers were in front of the frustrated male but he quickly looks up and turns around, his eyes meeting Garroth's.

He smiles.

"Hey angel. Who let you in?" He questions, "I thought I left the door locked."

Garroth takes a seat in a chair next to Laurence. "Nicolás let me in. Sorry, I tried to work as fast as possible to babysit with you again tonight," Laurence shakes his head with a grin.

"No, it's fine. You didn't have to rush. I don't want to make you feel rushed so you can come babysit with me," he sighs as his grin falls. He fidgets with the pen in his hand and licks his lips.

"You work four jobs a day Laurence, I want to help you. And I don't feel rushed at all. Also on top of that, I had so much fun babysitting with you yesterday as well. You were very good at Just Dance," The blonde loudly giggles after Laurence rolls his eyes at the last sentence.

"Laurence?" A small voice sings. Both men smile softly when they turn to see Valeria.

"Hey Valeria, is something wrong?" Valeria shakes her head in response to Laurence's question.

"I'm hungry."

"Of course you're hungry," Nicolás smirks, poking his little sister's shoulder. "Can you order pizza, Laurence?"

Garroth giggles, "I'll do it. Do you guys want specific toppings?" He asks. They both nod with a smile.

"Sausage." Valeria shrieks with a grin. Nicolás rolls his eyes,

"Pepperoni." He mutters and Val shoots him a disgusted glare.

"Pepperoni?! Have you lost your mind?" Val practically screams. Laurence furrows his eyebrows, sending both children a warning that both of them ignore. Garroth's face drops.

"What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?! La salchicha es desagradable en la pizza!" Nicolás begins and suddenly both kids are arguing at each other, Valeria being rude and Nicolás being sarcastic.
Suddenly Sebastián stumbles in, right as Valeria screams and accidentally throws her arm and hits him in the face. Garroth gasps and watches as Sebastián falls backwards, his eyes wide. His face begins to turns red as tears quickly race down his face. He screams out a cry, holding his nose with his two stubby baby hands. He was in fact younger than Garroth had predicted. Sebastián was 3 years old and Garroth still wonders how he had once guessed 6.

"Valeria, a tu habitación AHORA!" Laurence shouts as he scoops up Sebastián in his arms. Val frowns, tears forming at the corners of her eyes as she scrambles off. Garroth can feel his heart drop to his stomach as he watches Nicolás look back at where Valeria ran with a sympathetic frown.

"Why d-don't I-I just order h-half of the pizza pepperoni and h-half sausage?" Garroth stutters.

"No, it's fine," Nicolás whispers with a shake in his head, "just keep the pizza fill with sausage." Then he runs off after Valeria. Sebastián whimpers lightly as Laurence sways him side to side in his arms. The child's head was buried into Laurence's shoulder and the sight made Garroth smiles a bit, his heart melting. Garroth stands up once he finishes ordering the pizza and once Nicolás and Valeria come back downstairs. Val stands in front of Laurence and Sebastián, a large frown visible on her face. Her hand was locked with Nicolás', him leading her closer towards Sebastián and Laurence. "Do you have anything you want to say to Sebastián, Val?" Nicolás smiles kindly as Val sighs.

"Lamento haberte golpeado, Sebastián. Fue por accidente." Garroth had no idea what she had just said, but he knew it was an apology because of how Sebastián and Laurence smiled at her.
