1. Chapter 1 (1/2)

a/n:this is a challenge given to me by z tate,challenge: sky needs to do baby sitting of his five year old twins (one boy and one girl) while z is at hospital because ally is about to give birth.

ps. i won't be using any 'bad language' in this fic (for a change). worse come worse, 'shit'.

quirks of babysitting

"emmett, rosalie! come for

eakfast!" schuyler tate yelled from the kitchen.

his wife was setting the table as he was flipping the pancakes, and their two kids came scurrying down the stairs, making a lot of noise.

they sat down on the two chairs, which seemed to be higher than the empire state, pulling and yanking each other.

sky turned around wearing a weird apron, which had previously belonged to

idge carson.

it had butter stains all over it.

"seriously sky, ditch the apron" his wife, née elizabeth delgado, now added tate, ginned from the table.

they lived at their small but cozy apartment at the outskirts of new tech city: a place not so far from the twins' school or the parents' workplace, aka. spd.

"not taking the risk of staining my uniform."

"yeah, you can't risk anything happening to your precious uniform" she said.

well, sky and z could talk about anything while they were around the kids, because the twins were never actually interested in what their parents were talking about, they'd just phase out into their own world.

"no, actually, i don't want everybody there to know that i cook

eakfast there. i have a badass image there, and i don't wanna jeopardize it" she chuckled.

finally all four of them sat down for

eakfast. they were having

eakfast as a normal family, even though they were far from it. the thing was that all four of them had genetic powers, and the trouble was that the older ones knew how to control their problems but the little kids were still learning. and that was one heck of a problem.

"daddy!" rosalie suddenly yelled.

the parents turned to look at them, "daddy, emmett's pulling at my hair again!" she complained, while emmett sat at the other end of the table, looking at her perfectly innocent.

"emmett, pull back your arms at once!" sky commanded, and z added, "you know that we can see your invisible arms right kiddo?" her voice was also quite authoritative.

"yes mommy," and he pulled back his invisible hands from his sister's hair.

well, sky and z couldn't really see emmett's invisible hands, but it worked effectively, as he was usually messing with his sister who would simply tell them. the twins will find out about their little lie when they're teens, and his hands go beyond his sister.

emmett tate-delgado had a very unique power that allowed his to use his two human hands, with two more to spare. only two of them weren't visible. and also extendable to a length emmett hadn't discovered yet.

rosalie tate-delgado had a different power, and hers was less destructive, but all the more, screwing up. she could defy gravity in places. literally.

she could use her mind to make gravity-free spots that'd launch people far into the air. how far? only rosalie could determine.

it meant that she could use her power for flying herself. how exactly? she could create non-gravity spots differing in their intensities, as she went along the way, to keep propelling herself. quite a useful power.

the problem for sky and z was that she used to 'punish' her

other when he 'wronged' her by suspending him in the air, and sky and z didn't know how to get him down. it was going to be really troubling when she was older, with rosalie's sense of justice.

anyway, later, sky dropped the kids to school, and the couple drove to spd.

"sky, i need you to do something"

"yeah, baby, anything for you" he said, not really paying attention.

"i need you to babysit the twins on sunday."

"what!" sky said, yelling, and almost crashing the car, but z knew this was gonna be his reaction, and didn't panic at almost dying.

instead she chuckled, "yes, tate, you are baby-sitting both the kids, because, well… ally's delivery is on sunday, and i am going to be there, with jack."

"alright! i'll do it. besides, they're little angels" sky didn't seem to mind it that much. i mean they did mess with each other, but they didn't trouble their parents, they listened to them, and behaved like simple angels.

"thank you sky!" she said, kissing him on the lips.

"wait a second… if jack and ally are both at the hospital, then who's gonna watch terry and amy?" sky asked, referring to jack's kids. there were two of them already, and sky couldn't help but wonder why they needed a third.

terry was eight, and amy was six. now they were gonna have another one.

well… it was their problem.

"you are." z said like it was nothing, and sky crashed the car second time.

"i'm gonna baby-sit four kids?" he asked, shocked.

"yes, and also syd and

idge's dog."

"huh?" he asked, pulled the car to a stop, and said, again, "huh?" and then again, "huh?"

"yes, commander,

idge is also gonna be there with me, and syd's taking care of spd, so it falls to you." she said

"why can't i handle spd, and let syd baby-sit the kids?" he asked.

"you hear yourself when you said that?" z asked, "right" he realized. syd wasn't that great with kids, the simple reason why he and syd had gotten a dog instead of a kid after three years of getting married.

yep, sydney definitely screwed up with kids. once she almost told terry about some things no seven year old should know about. ever.

"alright. i get it. i'm the oldest, so i'm stuck with the kids."

"you're just oldest by a year sky." she chuckled.

"any other surprises, or should i drive again?"

x-x-x

finally at ten that morning, when emmett and rosalie, eagerly greeted their friends terry and amy as

idge dropped them by, sky emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a tray of snacks.

"looks like my apron is being used well"

idge chuckled.

"why are you dropping them? weren't you like supposed to be at the hospital too?" sky asked,

"well, i am supposed to drop them and then go to jack and z in the hospital, while syd hangs at spd"

"i see; and where's hiro?" sky enquired about the dog he was sitting. (that's a very weird phrase, i realize), and he was answered by a 'woof" that came from behind him, and a light-

ownish-white shiba inu dog came in, on a leash of course.

this was a real dog, unlike ri 2.0. he had a black leather collar, which was awesome, and decorated with silver colored stars.

"this is hiro. he's a shiba inu."

idge spoke like a proud father, "he's like a fox"

"awesome!" sky said, "but didn't you like alsatians?"

"well, he's syd's choice, but i love him all the same."

idge shrugged, "take him out for a walk, feed him on time, and he'll be fine." he instructed as he left, and walking out, he also added, "keep him away from chocolates."

"great! so all of us are here." sky told the kids as emmett came and patted hiro on the head, while rosalie shrunk into the couch, making her voice all high pitchy, "is—is—is that a—a—dog?" she asked.

"yeah, guys, this is hiro, he's a good dog, and hopefully won't trouble you kids a lot."

"you sure it's a he? how do you figure out?" terry asked, and sky couldn't explain, he swore in his mind. "no clue" sky said, "ask uncle

idge"

"i. hate. dogs!" rosalie shrieked from the other end of the room. nobody had realized that she had run away from the couch and towards the bedroom.

emmett knew he could take some revenge. oooohhhh… sweet, sweet revenge.
