Emilio's Pov

My brother was leaving for his vacation and guess who plays babysit to smart mouth and the other one?

Me.

" So you wake them up at 8. You give them a warm bath, 38 degrees. Use their soap and massage the shampoo in their hair. You probably have to let Scarlett give Amara a bath, you know because of the " Ezio said and I nod.

" Only one piece of candy a day "

" No cursing around my kids "

" Lights out at 8 "

" A cooked meal. No take outs. " he said and I just stared at him.

" What other dreadful detailed tasks you'd like to tell me? Better yet add to this list " I said waving around a long ass list that my brother gave me.

" I'll call you if I remember anything " he said as he took up his phone and his keys.

I followed him out the door Valicity was already in the car.

I watched my brother go around to his side and opened the door.

" Oh my most important rule. My kids and your-

" Are not allowed to leave the mansion walls " him and I both said.

" Yeah I know I know " I said.

We made eye contact as he got into his car.

He drove off and I waited for the car to go out of site.

I went back inside and sat on the couch. I looked at my watch.

6:07

" I'm just gonna take a quick nap until 8. " I said to myself as I positioned myself on the couch.

5 hours later

I felt something going back and forth on my lips.

I scrunched up my nose and turned my head away.

Then my eyes shot open.

" Shit " I said then turned my head back.

" Hi " Amara said as she quickly shoved her two hands behind her back.

" What's behind your back? " I asked.

" Nothing " she said.

I squinted.

I looked at all the couches and they were covered in red squiggly lines.

" You have until the count of three to run " I said.

" 1 " I said and she ran off.

" 3 " I said then got off the couch. I walked around to the couch and there she was

' hiding '

I gently grabbed her by the back of her Pj top and lifted her in the air.

" Why " was the only thing I said.

" I just wanted to play makeup " she said.

" So you played on the couches? " I asked.

" And the walls " she said and I looked at the makeup covered walls.

I could just throw her through the window right now.

" Where's the other one? " I asked her.

" Alistair left with his daddy " she said.
