Babysitting Bradfords Part III
Babysitting Bradfords Part II
He was going to fucking kill Devin, Jason thought as he sat there, staring at the twins that played him so fucking well. He never should have looked beneath that bed, but he’d looked everywhere else for them and…
God, he should have fucking known better.
“We need more chocolate,” Abbi said with a firm nod as she reached over and grabbed a handful of M&Ms and tossed them into the large mixing bowl overflowing with ice cream and a shitload of toppings.
Using a mixing spoon, Dustin scooped up some ice cream, took a bite and shook his head. “More hot… Read More
Babysitting Bradfords
“What’s this?” Jason asked, looking down at the paper that he’d been handed as soon as he walked in the door.
“The babysitting list,” his cousin Devin said absently as he checked something on his phone.
Jason frowned down at the list in his hands, noting the emergency contacts, bedtime routine, and-
“What’s this?” he asked, glancing up at his cousin.
“Necessary,” Devin said, not bothering to look up from his… Read More
That New Car Smell: Part I
“But I don’t need a new car,” Zoe said with a sad shake of her head while Trevor stood there, watching as the tow truck that he’d been forced to call slowly pulled her car up and-
“We can fix that, right?” Zoe asked, sounding hopeful as he stood there, watching the trail of sparks left behind as the engine was slowly dragged across the pavement.
Instead of arguing with his wife because he knew that it was pointless, Trevor reached over and grabbed a child, not really caring who it was, threw the kid over his shoulder and headed towards… Read More
Great Idea Part III
“Go tell your mom that we need to work on the back roof and to keep the kids away from it so that they don’t get hurt,” his father said, not bothering to glance at him as sorted through his tools while Cole stood there, wondering how this day could get any worse.
“Mom wants us to organize the garage,” Cole pointed out, not because he was looking forward to spending the day cleaning the garage, but because he would rather do that than spend the day on the roof, tearing up shingles in this heat with his father glaring… Read More
Great Idea Part II
“What do you think?” Haley asked only to be met with matching glares.
“I thought you loved me,” Cole finally said with a sad shake of his head and a shuddering sigh.
“I do, which is why I think this is a great idea,” she said, nodding as she gestured towards the vision board that she’d made this morning.
“How exactly is spending time with him,” Cole said, emphasizing “him” when he gestured towards Jason, who hadn’t said a single word since she’d finished explaining everything, “a great… Read More
Good Ideas Part I
“Where’s your mother?” Jason asked, rubbing his hands roughly down his face as he sat there, trying to make sense out of this online platform for his classes only to go still when he heard the magical words that guaranteed that his day was about to get better.
“She’s taking a nap,” Elizabeth said, shrugging it off as Jason bit back a smile.
“In our room?” he asked even as he pushed away from the kitchen table and started heading that way.
“She went to lay down a few minutes ago,” his sweet little baby girl said absently as she worked on… Read More
Stubborn: Part I
“It will be fine,” Jodi said, but something, mostly the fact that his father was shaking his head and mouthing, “It’s not fine,” told him that this wasn’t fine.
That, and the fact that his wife was in the fetal position, hugging the hand that she’d landed on wrong after an unfortunate incident that involved their sons’ collection of dinosaurs, Legos, and a remote control car that their baby girl had been trying to figure out how to drive when she was carrying laundry into the boy’s room.
“I-I just need some ice,” Jodi said softly as Danny glanced at his… Read More
How It All Began….Mikey and Sebastian
Oh, she was going to be in so much trouble, Mikey thought as she stood there, considering her options. She should pick the older one, but…
He probably wouldn’t want to go with them since he seemed to really enjoy tormenting his father. That left the twins, Mikey realized as she glanced back at the bunkbed in the corner, debating which one that she was going to drag with her.
There was Jonathan, she thought as she took in the twin passed out on the bottom bunk. He was funny, loved baseball, and would probably… Read More
The Great Lockdown of 2020 Part IX
“Why are you glaring at Dad?” Joshua asked, frowning as he reached for his brother’s plate only to have his hand absently slapped as Cole continued to sit there, glaring at his father.
“You don’t want to know,” Cole said, narrowing his eyes on Jason, who she’d like to point out, was glaring right back.
This was not going to end well.
Not at… Read More
