MingKit - One✅

10

We placed the babies in their crib once they were fed. I gave a loud sigh as I let my body drop onto the couch. Kit sat next to me and gave an equally loud sigh. We were finally able to take a break.

I waited for the chastisement I'd been expecting from Kit right from the moment I decided to come over despite he's somewhat adamant request that I don't, and yet he said nothing.

"Kit, what time is everyone coming back?" I turned to look at him as I asked.

"I'm not sure. Probably by five."

"Did your sister in law have to go too?"

"Well, yes. P'Kieng will be taking over the business soon and dad wanted to introduce him and his wife to some people."

"A business wedding? Not a family members wedding?"

"The son of Dad's long-time friend, who would also be taking over his dad's business." He leaned his head on my shoulder and yawned.

"Are you tired?"

"Mhm. I've been watching them since morning." Just as Kit shut his eyes, the babies cooed uncomfortably, wanting to cry. Kit and I shot up, picking a baby each. We tried for several minutes to calm them.

"Maybe we need to change their diapers." Kit said as he lifted the baby high enough, trying to get a whiff from the diaper. Ew.

"Say what now?"

"Change their diapers."

"I heard you the first time. Do you know how?"

"Yes. I've helped change their diapers before. Follow me." He led me to a table in the far corner of the living room.

"What are their names?"

"Aat and Anong."

"Who is who?"

"The one you're holding is the boy, Aat and this cute one..." he switched his voice to a funny little tone and tickled the baby "... yes yes, uncle thinks you're cute...ahem...is the girl, Anong."

"Yes yes, your husband thinks you're also cute." I poked Kit's cheek as I imitated his funny little voice. I loved how he blushed before smacking my hand and looking away shyly.

"Stupid Ming." His pout was even cuter. "Lay him down here and take his pants off."

"You want me to change his diaper?" I sounded bewildered without meaning to.

"Yes, I can't do them both at the same time."

"B-but..."

"No buts. Leave if you are not going to help." My sweetheart threatening me because I teased him a little. Still cute though.

Taking Aat's clothes off was quick and easier than I expected. I used my thumb and forefinger to gently undo his diaper. I stood as far away as possible, not wanting to be bombarded by any unwanted scents. I gave a relieved sigh when I saw that his diaper was wet but not as messy looking as the one Kit had to take off. I wrinkled my nose and laughed at Kit for having to deal with the messier diaper.

After slowly and carefully wiping Aat down, I picked up the diaper box, reading the instructions because Kit was mad at me and wouldn't help. I sneaked a peak at Kit and saw him lift Anong's bottom by gently holding her ankles and then placing the diaper underneath her. I did the same. 

I turned my attention back to the package in my hand, pretending to read the instructions while watching Kit from the corner of my eye...that is, until I felt a warm spray of liquid splash onto my face and down the front of my shirt.  Ugh, Aat peed on me.

Kit's laughter echoed through out the living room. Not cute, not cute at all. Shouldn't a baby's pee projectile be downwards or sideways or something? How could he aim directly for my face? Was he getting revenge for his uncle? Kit wiped my face with a clean wipe after he'd laughed to his heart's content and then he finally helped me change the diaper.
