The Babysitting Boys Club

RubixCube89201

Hey everyone! I hope you will enjoy this year's post. Last year was a really long interview (which you're free to check out) and I wanted to write something more shorter. So as promised, a post about the boys babysitting a baby. Maybe next year we can do a Dominic or Raymond POV (Awkwardly winks with both eyes).

If you guys don't know, I'm offering a chapter dedication of the sequel. All you have to do is either follow me on Wattpad and/or Twitter and you're good to go.

I would like to thank @KellyAnneBlount for accepting me for this Wattpad Block Party. And guess what, it's her birthday! Happy birthday, thank you so much for your guidance. And I truly apologize for posting this wacky babysitting post on your birthday!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy!

Bennett: He's drooling.

Jordan: That's very keen of you to notice Bent.

Declan: I think anyone could've noticed from the fountain he's practically spouting.

Naomi: Yes, he tends to do that. Anyway, come inside.

(They all enter the house.)

Naomi: You guys really didn't have to help me babysit.

Jordan: Well, since you mom personally asked us...

Naomi: That's exactly my point

Declan: (Looks at the kid) So what's his name?

Naomi: His name's Andy, short for Anthony. He's only a few months old.

(The boys awkwardly stare at the baby boy who stared back.)

Naomi: (Glances at the clock) Both of our parents went out to dinner and I volunteered to babysit him after his own babysitter bailed. (Adds under her breath) I didn't know I had to babysit three more...

Jordan: I heard that.

Naomi: I was telling Andy that.

Naomi: He's due to eat something soon. This is where you guys come in. Can one of you get some baby food in the duffel bag over there? It'll be in small jars-

Jordan: Yeah, I know. I've done that challenge before.

Bennett: You mean the baby food challenge?

Declan: That's gross Jordan, even for you.

Jordan: (Shrugs as he opens the duffel) I hope there's some of that carrot one there. You won't believe the stuff people feed babies, cruel.

Naomi: By then, we won't even remember what it tastes like.

Jordan: Um Naomi?

Declan: What? Not enough carrot flavor for the both of you?

Jordan: No... This duffel is filled with toys.

Naomi: Oh, then it'll be in the other duffel. There's two of them.

Jordan: (Looks around) There isn't a second duffel.

(For the next couple of minutes, all of them look around the house to find the second duffel)

Naomi: They must've forgotten it in the car. I need to call them. (Looks at Declan) Here hold him.

Declan: I don't think-

Naomi: Don't be such a big... (Pauses and motions to the baby). Just for a second, he won't bite. Or maybe he will. Just keep your fingers to yourself.

Declan: (Slowly and awkwardly is given the baby) He's not so- (The baby bursts out crying)

Naomi: (To both Declan and Andy) I'm sorry. (Then goes to get her phone)

Jordan: (Appears next to Declan) I guess your charm doesn't work on everyone.

Declan: What charm?

Bennett: Poor kid must already miss her.

Jordan: (Snorts) What? He's in love?

(The guys narrowed their eyes at the baby who began to cry harder)

Naomi: (Coming back into the room) Yes, I understand. Okay bye. (Hangs up the phone)

(The baby's crying quiets down as Naomi comes closer, he reaches his arms to her)

Naomi: Aw, did you miss me Andy? Don't worry sweetie. I'm just glad you parents didn't hear you or it would've made me look bad.

Jordan: (Whispers to the others) And he already has the baby bit too. He can act defenseless, a total chick magnet. He's already has a better advantage than us.

(Naomi picks up and carries the baby once more. The baby stares back at the guys and smiles)

Jordan: (Under his breath) You evil little...

Naomi: I need to go pick up some supplies. And you guys need to stay here and watch Andy.

Guys: (In unison) What?

Naomi: It was my mom who offered it. Though I don't know why I can't stay and watch the baby while one of you pick up the supplies (Mumbles) Kind of a plot hole of you ask me. As if some people just want certain people to watch Andy...

Jordan: Did you say something Naomi?

Naomi: Just that it was my mom who thought of the idea. She then vouched for you guys that you'll be able to watch over Andy.

Declan: It's still kind of questionable how the parents were just okay with this...

Naomi: I know... (Starts thinking that maybe she shouldn't leave the baby with them. They'd probably get him a tattoo like "I was born like this")

Jordan: You can trust-

Naomi: (To Bennett and Declan) I trust you.

(The baby giggles at that)

Jordan: (Narrows his eyes at the baby) What are you laughing at?

Naomi: He's probably excited to spend more time with his new brothers. Aren't you Andy? (The baby just pouts)

Declan: So you're the kid's sister?

Naomi: Of course. (Looks at the baby) I'm your big sister.

Jordan: (Snorts when he sees the baby looking like he wants to cry) Sibling-zoned. (That earned an elbow to the stomach from Bennett)

Naomi: Ok, I'll need to go now. Though I don't really need to, it feels like some force is telling me to leave you guys with the baby.

Bennett: Is it forcing you to say that too?

Naomi: (Sets the baby in the booster seat, already the baby is whining in protest) I'm sorry, sweetie. I'll be back soon. (Turns to the guys) I think there's one diaper in the toy duffel, just in case. (Pauses for a moment before adding) And don't burn down the house.

Jordan: We only did that once.

(Everyone looks at him)

Jordan: I'm kidding.

Declan: It's because of you that we can't trust if you're joking or telling the truth.

(After much hesitation, making even the guys feel hurt, she finally (Cough) leaves. Immediately, the baby begins to bawl)

Jordan: (Pokes the baby's cheek) Is it some kind of alarm? How do you turn it off?

Declan: (Moved his hand away) Don't do that.

Bennett: What are we going to do to make it stop crying?

Jordan: I got it!

(The others turn to look at him armed with a toy xylophone and a rattler)

Bennett: Please don't.

Jordan: A one, two, three, four (He begins to play it terribly)

Declan: Now I'm thinking he's just crying out of pity for you.

Jordan: I'd take it, but I just want the kid to shut up.

(The baby... does not shut up)

Bennett: Does he really miss Naomi that much? She's only been gone for a couple of minutes.

Jordan: (Drops the toys) I think I know the solution then. (Takes out and opens his phone before showing it to the baby. The baby immediately stops crying)

Bennett: What did you show-

Declan: Jordan, what is wrong with you?

(The baby is staring at a picture of Naomi on the phone)

Declan: (Suddenly grabs the phone, but when Andy was about to open to cry once more, he positions it to show the screen to Andy while holding the phone) Why do you- You have a whole album of Naomi's pics. These are all such good quality. And what is with all of the professional angles?

Bennett: You need to delete them. (Pauses for moment) After babysitting this kid though. I don't want it to cry anymore.

Declan: I still can't believe Naomi let you take all of these pictures though.

Jordan: ...

Declan: I'm telling.

Jordan: No you're not.

Declan: Yes I am.

Jordan: I'll share you some.

Declan: What? No. Wait, really?

Bennett: (Yawns and looks at the baby still giggling at the pictures) I'm questioning why I'm here now. (He pats Andy's head then goes to walk towards the kitchen) I'll try making something for the kid.

Jordan: I promise I'll send you some later.

Declan: Yeah sure you will.

Jordan: Got any requests?

Declan: Stop it. She's going to kill us if she finds out.

Jordan: That's "if" she finds out.

Declan: (Shakes head) You're terrible.

Jordan: Hey, I was thinking...

Declan: That's new.

Jordan: (Ignores that) This kid will be a couple of months older than your soon-to-be baby sister

Declan: And your point?

Jordan: I ship it.

Declan: (Looks at the baby then back at Jordan) No, no, no. Over my dead body.

Jordan: That can be arranged.

Declan: (Goes up the Andy who, for the moment, looks up to him) Listen here kid. I know you probably can't understand me, but you better know this. Don't even think about getting near your sister.

Jordan: I can't believe it.

Declan: You're lucky you're a little kid now. But watch it when you're older. I'll give you a better reason to cry about.

Jordan: You're threatening a baby. This is amazing.

Declan: Oh shut up. I'm just establishing boundaries.

Bennett: (Calls out) I got something for the kid. (He brings a bowl and takes it to Andy)

Declan: What is it?

Jordan: (Sniffs it) I smell apples.

Bennett: Applesauce with cinnamon.

Jordan: Ugh why can't you make something better. (Dramatically) The guy needs meat. He must grow strong. (Says under his breath) To kick Declan's ass.

Declan: What did you say?

Bennett: He's just a baby. Look- (He pinches his cheek to show his teeth) He barely has any teeth. He wouldn't be able to eat it.

Jordan: (Grabs bowl) Okay but let me feed him. He'd love it.

Bennett: He better.

(Jordan feeds him and the baby suddenly spits it back out. Declan and Jordan, trying to hold back from laughing, slowly turns to Bennett.)

Bennett: (Abruptly snatches the bowl and sets it on the coffee table as grumbles to himself) Critics. Critics, everywhere.

Jordan: Bent, what are you doing?

Bennett: (On the phone) Hiring a babysitter for this. (He motions to the baby.)

Jordan: (Snatches Bennett's phone) What is with you?

Declan: WE are the babysitters.

Jordan: Andy, I want my phone back. (He tries to grab his phone, but the baby whines and refuses to let go.) Alright then, up you go. (He picks up the baby)

Declan: Be careful with him.

Jordan: Have a little faith. (Coos at the baby.) Even though you're my rival, you're such an adorable one. (He goes on being engrossed with playing with Andy)

Declan: (To Bennett) How come he's not crying with Jordan?

Bennett: Well, he still has his phone. That's probably why.

Declan: (Is quiet for a moment) You think the baby doesn't like me?

Bennett: I mean, you just threatened the kid. I don't blame him.

Declan: But not counting that. What if I'll never be good with kids? What if my sister doesn't like me?

Bennett: (Looks at Declan) You're overthinking it. I honestly feel bad for anyone else if your sister has you to protect her.

Declan: Yeah? (Thinks about it for a moment) I guess... Thanks Bent.

(The baby begins to cry again, even with Jordan's phone)

Declan: What did you do know? He was finally quiet.

Jordan: Guys? Do you smell that?

Bennett: Smell what?

Jordan: It smells weird...

Everyone: (Stares at the baby the say in unison) Oh no...

Jordan: Someone carry him, I'll go find the diaper Naomi mentioned. (Goes up to Bennett) You're the only one who hasn't carried him.

Bennett: No.

Jordan: Hurry up. (Holds up the baby, offering it to him to take him)

Bennett: Fine. (He holds the baby from under the arms, holding it as far away from him as possible.)

Declan: Bent, even I know that's not how you carry a-

Bennett: Shut up.

Jordan: Okay, found it. It sure is lucky that there was some spare diaper.

Declan: Jordan, just focus.

Jordan: (Gets back his phone and opens it) Set him somewhere, like on the couch or something. And put a blanket under him.

(The boys kneel in front of the couch and stare at the baby as it continues to cry.)

Jordan: So who's going to open it?

Declan: Not me.

Bennett: Don't even look at me.

Jordan: C'mon, someone has to do it.

Declan: Still not me.

Bennett: Don't even.

Declan: Okay someone get tongs or something.

Bennett: You can't use that for something like... this.

Jordan: (His hand goes down his face in frustration) I'm so glad the author made it a boy, In not mentally prepared for this.

Declan: Okay. Let's just do it together. We each pull down a strap. And then two people hold him up the legs and the other will just slide the diaper under him. How about that?

Jordan: But who will... wipe him?

Bennett: That's it, I'm calling someone to do this.

Jordan: Bent, stop it. Let's just follow Declan's idea. For once it's a good one.

Declan: I'd like to see you try to come up with something.

Jordan: I said it's a good idea.

Bennett: Let's just get this over with.

Declan: But what about the wiping?

Bennett: We'll think of something.

Jordan: Is there gloves we can use?

Declan: We'll wash our hands or bleach it later.

(At that, each of them grab hold of a strap of the baby's diaper. At request of the guys, I will not disclose whom among them pulled down the frontal part of the diaper. They're still traumatized about this to this day. They then slowly pull down the diaper.)

Bennett: I'm never going to do this again.

Jordan: Release the kraken.

Declan: Dammit Jordan, just shut up.

(When they open it, it reveals that there was nothing. The baby didn't do anything.)

Declan: You have got to be kidding me.

Jordan: I have half a mind to throw this thing out the window...

Bennett: I hate my life right now.

(The baby stopped crying and giggled)

Declan: This kid is a sadist.

Bennett: I think he faked it all.

Jordan: The little mastermind. I'm starting to respect you.

(Together, they put back the straps of the diaper.)

Declan: But what was that thing you smelled earlier, Jordan?

Jordan: I don't know. I honestly thought it was a kid.

Bennett: It's all your fault.

Jordan: Maybe I was smelling your applesauce.

Bennett: (Says slowly and quietly) Can you repeat that again?

Jordan: Repeat what? I was only apologizing for my stupidity and my big mouth.

Declan: (Snickers) I live for these moments.

Jordan: Well, whatever. When has it never been my fault? (Picks up the baby and shows him his phone once more) You still are such an evil genius. Yes you are.

(The door opens and Naomi comes back carrying a shopping bag)

Naomi: Miss me?

Guys: (In unison) Yes.

Naomi: I was talking to Andy. But I feel the love, thanks.

(Naomi sets down the shopping bag on the ground and goes over to Jordan. The baby is reaching out to her. She obliges and carries him.)

Naomi: Aw Andy, you must've missed me after being stuck with these- (Andy shows Naomi the screen of Jordan's phone to which he forgot to get is back) Jordan what is that on your phone?

Jordan: (Chuckles nervously as he quickly grabs it.) Um, nothing.

Naomi: (To Andy) Jordan is going to be in big trouble, isn't he Andy? Oh he's going to delete that and anything else he has. (She looks at Jordan and narrows her eye at him.) Isn't he?

Jordan: (Lowers his head) Yes...

Naomi: And anything you have backed up.

Jordan: She knows me too well... (He looks at Andy and narrows his eyes at him) The rivalry returns.

Naomi: Is that apples? Bennett, did you make something for Andy?

Bennett: Yeah but he didn't-

Naomi: (Feeding a spoonful of the applesauce to Andy who eats it happily) Aw do you like it sweetie?

Bennett: But I thought- (He stops and looks at Andy) This kid is evil.

Naomi: Bennett, don't say that. (Looks at Declan) Why don't you try carrying Andy again? It'll be good practice for you.

Declan: Naomi, I really don't think-

(Naomi gives him the baby and it immediately begins to cry. When handed back to Naomi, he suddenly stops. Naomi tried giving Andy back to Declan and he bawls once more.)

Declan: I'm starting to sense a pattern here... (Shakes his head as he tells the baby) That's cold kid.

Naomi: Well, it'll be an hour or two before our parents come back. Let's watch a movie.

(The others agree with this.)

Naomi: Great, I think there is a movie playing at- (She suddenly stops)

(The guys turn to look at Naomi red in embarrassment as she looks to see the baby giggling as he grabs her chest)

Naomi: I-I, um. Andy, sweetie, you shouldn't do that...

Declan: Oh, you little pervert. You are so done.

Bennett: Naomi, get away from that thing.

Jordan: You are going to wish you were never born.
