No Control

Caroline has asked us to babysit her daughter Brooklyn for a bit. We are anxiously awaiting her arrival. She is so adorable.
There’s a knock on the door. We answer it and Liam immediately takes Brooklyn from Caroline. They sit together on the floor and begin to play. Caroline says quietly.”He’s going to make a great dad someday.”
After she’s gone, I stand there for a moment watching them. Liam is so sweet with her. My heart feels so full at the thought of Liam and I having children together.
Liam looks up at me. “Come play with us, love.”
I bring Brooklyn’s bag of goodies over and join them on the floor. Liam reaches across and kisses me.
“Kiss!” Brooklyn says in her adorable little voice. Liam laughs. I say. “Uh oh, she’s going to tell mommy.”
She says it again. “Kiss!” And then giggles uncontrollably. Liam joins her with the uncontrollable laughing. I grin. Looks like I have two adorable kids to babysit.
Brooklyn decides she wants to brush my long hair. I sit on the floor and while she’s doing that, Liam disappears and returns with my make-up bag. Brooklyn squeals when she sees it. Obviously she knows what it is. “Gee, thanks baby.” I tell Liam. Brooklyn giggles. “Baby.” She says. Liam laughs and helps Brooklyn get the make-up out. She begins my makeover. I can’t possibly get upset, she’s having so much fun. Liam is watching with the sweetest grin on his face. Brooklyn finishes me up with some bright lipstick, which ends up mostly outside of my lips.
Liam hands me a mirror. “Oh my.” I say. He’s on his hands and knees, leans in close to me and with a smirk says. “You’ve never looked more beautiful.” He laughs as I try to punch him in the stomach. He’s too fast and moves out of the way laughing hysterically. That’s ok, I find another way to get him. I push him down and straddle his hips. I lean down and give him kisses all over his face and neck. Leaving bright lipstick all over him.
Brooklyn toddles over. “Liam. Sit.” She says. I pick her up and set her in front of me on Liam’s chest. “Tickle Liam.” I tell her.
The three of us are laughing so hard. Brooklyn and I tickle Liam until he promises to take us out for ice cream.
