Chapter 341 Michael, The Babysitter (3)
"Why?" asked the two kids in bewilderment when they heard their Daddy tell them to close their eyes.
"Because Sienna is a woman, and as a gentleman, you can't see her naked body," explained Michael.
Even though the little girl was only two years old, she was still a woman. Michael wants to maintain her privacy and at the same time educate his kids how to be a good gentleman.
"Ah! I see! Okay!" Gabriel said then began to close his eyes with one hand that was not holding the cellphone. However, the boy didn't really close it because Michael could see he was peeking between his fingers.
"Gabriel, close your eyes properly," Michael said when he saw his youngest son's behavior.
Gabriel, who realized he was caught peeking, immediately closed his eyes again. How did his Daddy know he was peeking?
Michael's gaze then turned to Raphael who opened his eyes.
"Raphael, close your eyes," Michael said looking at the boy.
"Nooo," said Raphael.
Michael's eyebrows rose to hear that his normally obedient son now denied it.
"Why?" asked Michael curiously.
"How can I show grandma with the cellphone if I close my eyes?" asked Raphael, giving his reasons.
Hearing his older brother finding a good reason, Gabriel, who was peeking between his fingers, immediately lowered his hand.
"Rapa is right, Daddy! How can we show the cellphone to grandma?" said Gabriel, repeating what his brother had just said.
Michael opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard what his son had just said. He knew that his kids were smart, but he didn't expect them to find a reason to argue with him.
"You can point the phone without having to open your eyes. You just don't need to move your hands," Michael explained.
"But I do not want to. I want to see how to change diapers!" said Raphael stubbornly.
For some reason, he was curious about how to change it and he wanted to see it.
"Raphael…"
"Michael!" interrupted Mrs. Collins. "Just let them see it. There's nothing wrong with showing them that. Let's change the diaper already," continued Mrs. Collins when she saw the father and son starting to argue.
She got what Michael meant, but they were still kids and it wouldn't hurt to show them how to change diapers, right? It wasn't like they were peeking on purpose.
Michael sighed when he heard his mother's words. He wanted to argue, but Sienna started crying again.
The little girl seemed to want to protest why the man took so long to change her diaper!
Michael then grabbed the little girl's pants and lowered it down.
"What should I do?" Michael asked, turning to his mother. Did he just pull the diaper down like that?
"You've got to unfasten it first. It's on the side," said Mrs. Collins, beginning to give her directions.
Michael then obeyed and did what his mother said.
"Look? She really peed. You have to wipe her bottoms with baby wipes. Wipe gently and cleanly from front to back. But just do it few times," ordered Mrs. Collins.
Once again, Michael obeyed what his mother said.
"Sienna, excuse me," Michael said looking at the little girl before he wiped her private parts with baby wipes.
Mrs. Collins looked at her son who was wearing a serious expression as he wiped the little girl's intimate parts. Suddenly she felt a strange feeling when she saw her son.
Even though Michael was already a father, her son had never even changed a diaper and didn't know how to do it.
As a mother, Mrs. Collins felt a little sorry for her son.
"Mom, what should I do next?" Michael asked after making sure that Sienna was clean and comfortable again.
The little girl didn't even cry anymore and smiled when her eyes met Michael's.
"Ah! You just change the new diaper, place it in the same position and don't forget to fasten it. Oh right, you can roll up the dirty diaper," said Mrs. Collins giving her directions.
Hearing that, Gabriel, who had been watching for a while, let go of his hand and went to get the clean diaper in the bag earlier. Meanwhile, Raphael continued to record at the front.
"Here, Daddy!" Gabriel said, handing the new diaper to Michael.
"Thanks," Michael said with a smile then put the diaper under Sienna's bottom and started to wear it
"Are you feeling comfortable, Sienna? You turned out to be pee pee huh!" said Gabriel, engaging the little girl for a chat while his Daddy was diapering Sienna.
After some difficulty due to the moving Sienna, Michael finally finished diapering the little girl.
"Is it done?" asked Michael looking at his cellphone which was still held by his eldest son.
"Yes. It's finished. Good job. You can put the pants back on," said Mrs. Collins, sounding proud.
Michael breathed a sigh of relief at that. He then immediately put back the pants used by the little girl. After he had done that, he immediately took the dirty diaper and went to throw it in the trash and washed his hands.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Sienna already playing with Gabriel, while Raphael was still holding his cellphone while recording the two of them..
Michael wiped the sweat off his forehead. A proud expression appeared on his face when he saw that Sienna was no longer crying.
The man then approached his son who was still holding his cellphone obediently.
"Thank you, Raphael. You can play with them," said Michael smiling, stroking his son's head and taking his cellphone.
Michael then changed his camera to a front camera and looked at his mother's face which was still connected to the call.
"Thank you, mom!" said Michael with a smile. Feeling grateful that his mother helped him.
"You're lucky that kid is calm. If at your speed like before. You gonna taking so long to change her diaper," said Mrs. Collins.
Michael was a little surprised to hear that. Really? Isn't changing diapers easy?
"Oh yeah, will Sarah or Anna not come back soon?" asked Mrs. Collins worriedly.
"I don't know either," Michael replied and sat on the sofa then watching the three kids.
"But don't worry. Everything will be fine, "continued Michael who looked confident.
At first, he thought it would be difficult to take care of three kids alone. However, it turned out to be not as difficult as he had imagined.
Apart from changing the diaper which was quite a hassle and comforting a crying Sienna, everything was fine.
He just needed to let the three kids play, while watching them from afar.
"Did Anna leave food?" Mrs. Collins asked because she hadn't seen the box of food in the bag.
"Eh?" Michael looked confused to hear that. "No. Why should she leave food anyway?"
Mrs. Collins snorted at her son's stupid sounding question.
"Of course the food for her child. If she doesn't leave food, you have to prepare it. The child is young, she can't eat your food," Mrs. Collins told her son who knew absolutely nothing about raising a child.
Michael opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard that. He thought his job was done. However, he had to prepare food for Sienna too?
***
Michael was standing in front of his refrigerator which he had opened. The expression on his face looked confused.
He decided to challenge himself to make food for Sienna. Well… he could actually ask the chef to deliver the food for them later, but for some reason, he wanted to prepare it himself.
Michael's choice ultimately fell on the fruit at hand, and maybe he'd make a sandwich for the little girl.
Food choices that are safe and easy to make !
"Daddy? What are you doing?" asked Raphael when he saw his Daddy getting busy in the kitchen. Things that can be said, rarely done by his daddy..
"Daddy's making food for Sienna," Michael replied, starting to get a knife to cut the fruit into small pieces.
Seeing that, Raphael immediately ran to his Daddy.
"Does Raphael want to help Daddy?" asked Michael when he saw his son approaching.
"No. I'll keep an eye on you. Are you sure you can do it?" asked Raphael worriedly looking at his Daddy.
Michael opened his mouth in disbelief when he heard the question.
"Of course! Daddy can even cook better than Mommy!" Michael replied, which was clearly a lie.
He… can't cook at all and can only do simple things, like toast bread with jam, or… fried eggs.
However, he didn't want to look pathetic in front of his son.
Raphael's facial expression made it clear that he didn't believe what his Daddy said.
"Did you wash the strawberries?" Raphael asked when he saw the Strawberry which looked like it had just come out of the refrigerator and didn't seem to have been washed.
"Oh, right! Daddy wants to cut it first before washing it, but looks like it has to be washed first, doesn't it?" said Michael then immediately took the basin and filled the strawberry and started washing it.
Raphael sighed at his Daddy's behavior. His face looked worried.
Will everything be okay?
