Dakota's Pov

    I finished the Empanadas shortly after Meaghan left. I sat them on the stove to cool and went into the living room. "I don't know what we're gonna do!" I heard Mrs park- Nichols? say.

  "What's up, guys?" I ask. I could hear someone coming up behind me, but I ignored them.

    "Oh, well one of the head executives had to cancel our dinner because their babysitter is sick. This dinner was really important and now I don't know what to do!" Mr. Nichols was slightly frazzled.

  "We could babysit." Josh, who was behind me, volunteered my evening to take care of a strangers baby.

    "Well I couldn't ask Dakota to do that, she's already under enough stress tonight." Mrs. Nichols said. It's still weird to think of her as Mrs. Nichols.

  "Well Drake could help, and I'll be just upstairs." I love making Drake do stuff that I don't want to do.

    "Are you sure?" Mr. and Mrs. Nichols looked between Josh and me with a questioning look on her face. I nodded and I suppose Josh did too because they agreed and started to get ready to leave. I turned to Josh,

  "Can you get Drake for me? The food is done." I asked him I turned to walk into the kitchen. I quietly walked to the counter, and once I peeked through and saw that Josh had left, I ran to go get Meaghan. I ended up bumping into her in the hallway.

    "Are they ready?" Meaghan asked as she rubbed her hands together maniacally. I rolled my eyes,

  "Yes, and Josh just went to get Drake." I turned around to go back into the kitchen,

    "Perfect, let's go wait for them." Meaghan and I then walked into the kitchen and sat on the counter near the sink. once the boys came in, they went straight for the food.

  "I hope you enjoy them, Meaghan and I worked hard on them." The boys stopped mid-bite.

    "Meaghan?" They mumbled,

  "Yeah, I even added a special ingredient!" Meaghan told them happily. Drake and Josh's eyes widened significantly.

    "You did? What did you put in there? The only other thing on the counter was Windex." I furrowed my eyebrows in fake confusion, I knew she put nothing in the small pastries, but it was all part of the plan.

  "Just something, special," Meaghan said as she hopped off the counter and out of the room. The boys were now scraping Empanadas off of their tongues and onto plates.

    "We're kidding guys there is no Windex in your food, and Meaghan did not help me with the cooking process. So eat up." I say through laughter. Josh sighs in relief and Drake narrows his eyes at the pan.

  "I'm serious, they aren't poisoned. I'll even eat one." I say as I grab one and take a bite. The boys sigh in relief and continue to eat. As we ate and joked, there was a knock at the door. "Can you get that Josh?" I asked, only because I didn't feel like moving.

~***~

    "I'm gonna go upstairs. Try not to need me."The boys were arguing about the baby, who was sleeping in its car seat.

  "Where are you going?" Drake exclaimed. I sighed and turned towards them,

    "I'm going upstairs, I thought I said that already," I shifted my weight to one side as The boys looked at me with wide eyes.

  "We need you to be down here, so you can help us take care of this thing!" Drake looked at the sleeping infant with a disgusted face. I walked over to the baby and placed a blanket over its carrier.
