Forever and Always

Baby Fever

~Rapunzel and Eugene~
"No Eugene, I said she was coming over for lunch!" Rapunzel cried as paced around the room. She had the kids clean up the living room, which basically meant piling all the toys against the wall. She tried making a decent lunch, which happened to be BLTs. Today just wasn't Rapunzel's day.

"Alright! Alright! I'll ask Mr. Johnson if I can get off work for the rest of the day." Eugene compromised. He knew his boss wouldn't be very happy with him leaving early today and being gone next week, but his boss couldn't fire him. Eugene and Rapunzel were too valuable.

"Okay, love you."

"Love you too." Eugene replied as he ended the call. Rapunzel sighed and kept tidying the house. She knew Elsa was a clean freak and Rapunzel's house was top on the list of America's dirtiest house.

"Who let Max into the house?" Rapunzel exclaimed as the wet dog ran through the living room. He stood in the middle of the room and shook off the water everywhere. It splattered against the walls and the windows as the kids cheered in delight.

"Bastian did!" Zach yelled as he pointed at his older brother. Bastian covered his mouth and tried to hid his smile. To him, everything was funny, especially when his momma didn't think it was,

"Bastian Timothy, you're standing on thin ice." Rapunzel sternly replied. She wasn't pleased with the way her children were behaving. If they acted like this when Elsa was around, she would never come back. Just like all the other babysitters. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. The kids ran to look out the window. They were hoping it was their Aunt Jessica or Uncle Elijah, but they'd never seen this person before. "Elsa!"

"Hi Rap! It's so nice to see you again." Elsa cheered as they hugged on the front step. Elsa finally found the little blue house. It took her ten minutes to search for, but apparently she arrived on time.

"Well come in and met the kids again," Rapunzel smiled as she led Elsa into the living room. "Elsa, this is Bastian and Zachary. Bastian and Zachary, this is Elsa. She's one of daddy's and momma's close friends."

"Does she have any kids?" Bastian questioned. He wanted someone other than Zach to play with. Don't get him wrong, he loved Zach, but he wasn't the best at sharing.

"No." Elsa smiled. She was surprised by how friendly the kids were to her. It was like they didn't see her as a scary babysitter. They just saw her as a friend.

"Why?" Zach asked. His green eyes sparkled with curiosity, something he always was. His head was cocked to the side, making Elsa lightly chuckle.

"Because I just don't yet." Elsa replied, unsure how to answer his question. She didn't want to say the wrong thing to them. Children are like sensitive adults that remember everything you tell them.

"Why?" Zach asked again.

"Sorry, he's in his why stage. All day I get asked why." Rapunzel explained as she gave Elsa a tour of the house. Rapunzel was a little embarrassed by their house, but Elsa seemed impressed. Suddenly, Rosie started crying.

"Momma, Zach took Rosie's toy!" Bastian yelled. Rapunzel groaned and apologized to Elsa.

"Zachary Eugene, you better give her back the toy!" Rapunzel scolded as she led Elsa out of their bedroom. Elsa was surprised how loud Rapunzel could be. Rapunzel's eyes narrowed at the children. Elsa had no idea what to expect.

"But momma, I had it first." Zach frowned. He held the toy truck in his hand, not wanting to give it back.

"Who's the baby?" Rapunzel questioned as she set her hands on her hips. Zach and Rosie are usually the ones who fight. After all, it is hard going from the baby to a middle child. According to Eugene, being the middle child 'sucks'.
