The Bet
"Mommy waky waky! Mommy I wanna pway! Mommy waky!" the tiny toddler screamed out to Evie as she poked at her trying to get her to wake up. Evie immediately shot up awake when she felt the tiny hands on her. She just froze when she saw the tiny two year old sitting by her on her bed and poking at her.
Evie sighed when she looked at the tiny girl who was supposed to be in her crib. Especially since it was two in the morning according to Evie's alarm clock. "Mal what are you doing up? And how did you get out of your crib?" Evie asked the tiny girl in panic as she was worried about how Mal managed to get out of her crib.
The tiny girl just giggled not answering her. "Mommy pway now," the toddler told Evie as she ignored Evie's questions about getting out of her crib. Evie just sighed knowing she wasn't going to get an answer. She just picked up the small girl and placed her back into the crib. "Mal we can't play right now. It's too early to be awake. Please just go back to sleep and you can play later. And stay in your crib. No getting out of your crib," Evie told the small girl as she began to walk back to her bed to sleep.
As soon as Mal was sure that Evie was asleep again she threw her pillow out of her crib and then climbed over the side of her crib and landed softly on her purple pillow. "Shh Sawbewy we hab a be siwen. Dere id is," the tiny toddler quietly told her stuffed dragon as she carefully grabbed her child tablet and then climbed back into her crib with it.
The tiny girl smiled as she clicked on a video of some baby songs and quietly sang along to them until she eventually fell asleep with her tablet in her hands. Evie woke up the next day to find the toddler asleep with her tablet in her tiny hands. "Oh Mal what am I going to do with you?" Evie sighed out as she walked over and carefully grabbed the tablet not wanting to wake the sleeping toddler.
She also saw a purple pillow by the crib that she figured was how the toddler managed to get out of her crib without hurting herself. Evie just sighed as she knew that this was probably going to become a problem now. And she didn't like how the toddler was watching videos on her tablet when Evie had been trying to limit Mal's screen time and she only got about an hour a day to watch tv or videos.
Evie just sighed as she knew that she needed to get ready since she had just gotten a text from the boys and her friends Audrey, Jane, and Lonnie all letting her know that they were coming over soon. The boys were coming to watch Mal for their bet and the girls were coming over since they were going to hang out and spend some girl time together since Evie hadn't been able to do that ever since she had gotten custody of Mal.
Evie quickly got ready just in time as she had just finished when she heard a knock at her door. She opened it to see her friends who had gotten there before the boys. Evie just smiled as she let them in.
"Hey girls. The boys just texted they are going to be here soon, but they are just running a bit late, so we can leave as soon as they get here. For now you guys can just come in and hang out here until they come, but don't be too loud since Mal is still sleeping," Evie told her friends with a smile.
The three girls just smiled as they went into Evie's dorm. Audrey just looked over at the sleeping toddler. "Evie how come she's still sleeping? Doesn't she usually wake up early? Is she okay?" Audrey asked worriedly as they had all grown a strong liking to the tiny girl and it was kind of concerning for her to still be sleeping when they all knew how early the small girl liked to wake up.
Evie just smiled as she looked at the concerned girls. "Oh no she's totally fine, but someone learned how to get out of her crib last night and woke up at like two in the morning wanting to play. I put her back in the crib, but she managed to get out again and grab her tablet, so she stayed up late watching videos. I found her asleep this morning with her tablet in her hand," Evie told her friends as she looked at the cute mischievous little girl who was sleeping in her crib.
The girls just laughed as they looked at the toddler. "Same old Mal. Always trying to cause trouble, but hey at least she will be cranky for the boys," Lonnie told Evie with a laugh as the girls had all been informed about the bet and they were all rooting for the boys to have a horrible time babysitting as it would teach them for messing with Evie and thinking that it was so easy to look after a child.
Evie just laughed and smiled mischievously. "OMG you're right. I didn't even think about that. Oh boy they are definitely going to lose now. Mal is at her worst when she is cranky. I guess some good did come from her staying up with her tablet," Evie told the girls as they all laughed just thinking about how much trouble the boys were going to find themselves in.
They all smiled mischievously when the boys knocked on the door as they had arrived. Evie smiled as she let the boys in. "Okay so here is a list of everything you need to do. Also she gets absolutely no screen time since she used it all up earlier this morning. She had trouble sleeping last night, so she might be a bit cranky. Oh and you need to wake her up and get her ready for the day. Make sure she eats healthy and eats more than just strawberries and I mean it, no junk food or sweets. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah she needs to take a nap right after lunch time, and also before you guys completely disregard everything I said just know I have a nanny cam in this room, so I can see everything. I also have my mirror, so don't just think you can turn off the cameras because I can still see everything. And if you fail to do as I say then you automatically lose. This may just be a stupid bet to you, but she is basically my daughter and I care about her, so you better do as I say," Evie told the boys as she began to lecture tham about all the things she needed the boys to do with Mal.
She knew how the boys worked. They were more of the do whatever type of people and she wouldn't allow them to act that way when watching her sister. They may be like siblings, but they weren't blood related siblings and she would easily lose that bond with them if they didn't listen to her and Mal got hurt.
The boys just looked at Evie like she was crazy as she began to list everything about Mal to them. And then she handed them a giant list of things that they couldn't do with her and what they could do. "Dude what is this? She comes with an instruction manual now," Jay told Evie sarcastically as he looked over the giant list she gave them. They thought that Evie had completely lost her mind.
Evie just rolled her eyes at the boys as she went to the crib and kissed Mal's forehead as she quietly said goodbye to the tiny sleeping girl. Then she followed her friends towards the door, but stopped for a second. "Yes that is exactly what that is. And you better follow it because I'm watching you guys and I can literally see and hear everything. Oh and good luck," Evie told the boys as she left the room with her friends.
