10 Years Later
"Eli!" i heard a whiny groan from behind the door, my lips twitched up in amusement, i didn't move, "Eli?" the voice came again, this time with the squeak and creaks of the old Floor boards, I pulled the covers over my head. "ELI GET UP!!!" a small body jumped on the bed, bouncing up and down. "Alright alright! i'm up! i'm up!" my eyes opened to an 7 year old boys eyes inches from my face, "Good! Get up! up up up!" Oliver....He jumped off the bed to run out the door, I tossed the covers back, grabbing him by the waist and yanking him under the covers.
He yelped in surprise, turning to look at me. His chocolate brown eyes danced with happiness, "Good morning Eli." he said, smiling his toothy grin, "Morning Ollie!" i kissed his forehead, hugging him and closing my eyes, wanting to go back to sleep, "Eli....?" he pulled from my grip. "There is pancakes downstairs." He whispered. I shot out of bed. 'Race ya!" I yelled already down the hall, "NO FAIR!" He screamed running behind me. I laughed charging down the stairs, Dodging toddlers and 10 year olds racing up the stairs.
I slid into the kitchen ducking the freezer door, grabbing a plate full of pancakes, lifting the plate from Alex, Rusty and Mia from knocking it from my hand. "Good morning, Momma!" I kissed my Foster mom on the cheek who had half the breakfast plates in her arms. "Morning sweetie, Could you get Brian from his crib for me? And i have something i need to discuss with you, and get clean up." She set the food down, calling for the other kids. Which we had quite a few. The place was very lively, We mostly had babies and toddlers, the oldest was me, and than a 10 year old. "Sure?" i said taking my plate and a bottle with me, Forking my Delicious fluffy pancake on the way up the stairs.
I walked through the hallway, stopping at the door with 'Brian' On the front. I pushed the door open quietly, stepping in, listening to baby Brian's soft breathing and giggles. He came into view, he had his blanket tucked in his mouth, giggling when he saw me, "Morning Brian." i whispered, reaching down and wrapping my arms around him, and placing him on the changing table.
After i clean him up i sat in the chair next to the table, popping the bottle in his mouth, hearing the commotion in the kitchen through the baby monitor, I heard 3 new voices talking to my Foster mom, "Good Morning! Please sit, Would you like some coffee?" My mothers voice said cheerfully, "Please, Thank you." a feminine voice popped in, "So, He his upstairs getting ready, he will be down soon." "That's fine, Oh! my apologies, This is my husband, Jeff, and my two sons, Dominic and Dylan." Than i heard a crash, "Miss Leah!" "Oh, Please excuse me for a moment!" Worry filled in her voice. I looked down, Brian finished his bottle, I sat him up, patting his back gently, until i heard a burp. I stood up, placing him in his playpen, "I'll be back buddy." I rushed towards my room and the bathroom, Quickly showering and getting dressed. I looked into the mirror, Staring at my reflection, my short black hair falling into my piercing blue eyes. "Eli!" my mothers voice called out.
"Coming!" i looked away from the mirror, pulling Brian out of his playpen, walking downstairs again, "Eli!" my name was chanted by little kids voices, four little ones tackled me, I grabbed one in one are and the other 2 sat on my feet, I groaned, "You guys are getting, Heavy!" I shuffled to the kitchen, "Here, Take Brian." I handed him to my mother just before i fell to the ground, "Ow." i yelped, while the children on top of me thought it was hilarious. "Yeah yeah, Ha ha, i'm gonna get you!" They screamed while i tried to get to my feet, Grabbing them, "Eli!" i turned around, "We got scolded..." i said in a funny voice, trying to act cheerful when i really was terrified when i saw four strangers at the table.
"Eli, this is Mr. and Mrs. Capplin,and there 2 sons, Dominic and Dylan." I smiled, "Hi." i said.
"Hello." Mrs capplin said sweetly, I got a nod from Mr capplin and nothing from the boys, just a hard glare from Dominic, Which was making me uncomfortable, so i looked towards the ground, "So, Why are we here?" Dominic said irritably, "Oh well, Eli, Mr and Mrs Capplin are your new bosses." I just stared at her, "What?" i asked, "Your going to live with them to watch over Dylan, Like a Nanny.." I felt the blod rush from my face, I've lived in this place for 10 years, I've never been anywhere else...
"Because your so great with kids." The women sitting in front of me said, "We are so busy with work we cannot have time for a Babysitter, and i do not trust Dominic to watch him.... But there is one more thing but we cannot discuss until we are in the presence of our lawyer." .I just nodded numbly. "Eli? Are you ok? You seem a bit pale.." my mom asked me, "Y-yeah i'm fine" Mrs capplin clear her throat "Alright then! So do we have a deal?" She smiled.
"Yes." I agreed, It was a babysitting job.....How bad could it be? i thought to myself, My whole body screamed that this was a bad idea....
