Rating: G, Humor Archivers: If you want Date: May 17, 1999 Written by: Minuet The Night That Would Never End Intro: Ok, for those of you who haven't read any of my fics, I created Kayla who married Race and has had twins. The point at which this story begins is when the twins, Andrew and Laura, are 18 months old. This is what happens when you leave two inexperienced teenagers with twins. And yes, Andrew is also my nephew's name and he's 2 years old. And yes, he has done some of this to me. *grins* Enjoy! Kayla looked in the mirror and straightened her jeweled barrette. "You look just fine sweetheart. Come on, Benton and Patricia are waiting for us at the banquet. We should have been there 20 minutes ago!" Race paced back and forth in front of the bathroom. "I swear, you and Jessie drive me nuts! Even I don't take that long!" Kayla gave Race a sweet peck on the cheek. "I know dear, but you love it when I look beautiful for you. Where are the twins?" "Oh, they're in their room with Jess and Jon. They were able to trick them into reading that fire engine story again. I say in a few days, we hide it." He chuckled and started to drag her towards the door. "Maybe I should stay here. Mrs. Evans and Hadji are gone and they've never been alone with the twins before. What if something goes wrong?" She looked uneasily towards the twins' room. "They've never even changed a diaper!" "Don't worry. We left instructions and I'm carrying my cell phone. They're both intelligent kids. What could possible happen?" Race opens the door, gently pulling her along. "Bye kids, have fun!" Kayla gives him a slug to the shoulder, laughing, and hurries alongside her husband. "Truck!" "Yes," sighs Jessie, "that's a truck. Can we turn the page now?" Jessie makes an attempt to turn the page. Her movements are followed by a quick scream 'No!' "Ok, ok, trucks it is. Hey Jonny, this really isn't so bad. You watch one and I'll watch the other, how hard can it be?" She looks over at Jonny who is playing with Tinky Winky. "Oh really, so that's why I'm playing with a doll and you get the truck books?" He playfully throws a pillow at Jessie. Jonny takes a long sniff and crumples his nose. "Ew, um, Jess? I think someone needs a diaper change." He starts to slide away from Laura, motioning for Jessie to move into action. "Why me? You're taking care of her, remember? I'm playing with the truck book right now." Jessie grins, loving watching Jonny squirm. She turned back towards Andrew just in time to get a good wack to the cheek as he throws the book to the side. "Don't wanna, can't make me!" Andrew stands up and starts to head out the door. Jessie sighs and starts to head off after him, turning back to see Jonny struggling to keep Laura still, her diaper half way off. "Argh! Jessie, can you hold her at least? How am I supposed to get it on and off with her rolling around!" Jonny's trying to hold her down, struggling with the diaper tape. "For the...! Jessie!" Jessie pauses for a moment, contemplating the thought of leaving Andrew alone for a minute and then sees a naked child run past her, a diaper in the child's hand. She laughs and looks over at Jonny who is hitting the floor. "What, can't even change a simple diaper?" She continues to laugh until Andrew stumbles onto the floor in the hallway, tearing sounds drawing her attention. She turns just in time to see pages flying from her diary. She claps a hand over her eyes and shakes her head. "Andrew, where did you get that? That's not nice to take other's things. Can I please have it back?" Andrew sweetly looks up at Jessie. "No, it's mine. Can't have!" He continues to tear page after page. Jessie picks him up and gently tries to pry it out of his hands. She looks over at Jonny, she can see the smirk on his face as he watches her fight the toddler. "Laugh it up bleach head. I don't see your ward anywhere, do you?" As Jonny starts to get up, they hear a flushing sound coming from the Bannon's bedroom. Jessie starts to laugh as Jonny half trips, half runs, knocking over a potted plant as he rounds the corner. Jessie stays where she's at, a concord of 'Mine' 'no mine' 'Mine' 'no mine' echoing down the hall. She's on the verge of giving up when she hears a grumble and moan. "Jessie!" Inaudible grumbles and moans. "Jessie! Will you help me out here! Geez!" Jessie carries/drags a kicking Andrew into her parent's bedroom, trying to keep a hold of both him and her diary. "What's wrong blond..." She stops in her tracks as Jonny comes into sight. He's knealing in front of the toilet, a now naked Laura standing beside him giggling. "What are you looking at?" "Flush, go bye bye!" Laura laughs and points into the toilet. Jonny sits on the floor, his back against the wall, and rubs his forehead. "Um, Jessie, how do you suppose we get that out?" Jessie peers into the toilet and tries to hold back her laugh. Laura has managed to get her diaper stuck, trying to flush it away. She looks at Jonny, her shoulders beginning to shake as she fights against Andrew. "Down down down down!" She finally gives up, setting him on the floor and pats Jonny on the back. "This should be fun watching you get that out!" She leans against the wall and points. "Well, I haven't got all day, get a going!" She snickers as Jonny gives her a sour face. Laura giggles at the two of them. "Funny. Goes bye bye!" With that, Laura streaks past the teenagers, laughing, and heads out the door. They can hear things falling and doors slamming as the twins start to run wild. Jessie sighs and pushes Jonny to the side. "I'll tell you what Jon boy, if you can catch those two, I'll take care of this little disaster. But you'll owe me major. Say, an ice-cream sundae and a shopping excursion at the mall?" Jonny thinks for a moment, pondering which is worse, the plugged toilet or the mall. "Ok, you have a deal." He hands Jessie the plunger and jogs out of the bedroom, calling the twins' names. Jessie turned to the mess and sucked in a breath, it didn't look pretty. Jonny searched each room on the top floor, looking under beds and in closets for the tornado twins. He seemed to just miss them, following the mass disasters they were leaving behind them. He heard a crash coming from downstairs and he prayed as he flew down the stairs that they weren't doing what he thought they were doing. "Put that down!" Jonny yells as he runs across the room towards Laura. "Jessie!! Help me! Laura, please..put the stun gun down..for the love of bananas please!" Jonny slowly reaches out his shaking hand. "Jessie, Where are you!?" Jonny cries frantically. "Laura where's your brother?" Before he can turn around he hears a sickening thud coming from the kitchen. Jonny takes off in a dead sprint with Laura waving a fully activated Stun gun at his back. "Andrew!!" Jonny yells. Hearing the sound of shattering glass sends a chill up the young man's spine. "This is completely insane, why did I agree to do this? No amount of money in the world!" He reaches the kitchen to find the fridge door wide open, a busted jar of pickles on the tile floor and a little white haired kid climbing on the shelves of the fridge door. Jonny skids to a stop. "Laura, don't touch me. Andrew, don't move!" Jonny stares at the monkey like actions of the child hovering over jaded glass. He moves forward with extreme care trying to ignore the occasional zapping noise behind him. Laura stares at the bright blue light jumping back and forth between the two prongs of her new toy. "Pretty" she mumbles but amazingly doesn't dare touch it. "Andrew, I want you to be very still...don't move, don't think, don't even breathe" "Why?" Andrew asks in a cute, high pitched voice. Jonny sighs and slips through the pickles until he reaches the laughing boy. "Geez, Andy, you guys never act this way for your parents! What did I ever do to you?" He puts the boy on his shoulders and turns around just in time to see Jessie grab the stun gun from Laura. "Thanks, Jess, that was a little too close. How long until they get home?" He brushes droplets of sweat from his brow. "Two hours and thirty minutes," Jessie sighs. "They've only been gone half an hour!" She takes Andrew from Jonny's shoulders as he moves to clean up the pickles and glass. "I tell you what, I say we lock the four of us in their room, and stay there until they get back. At least we won't have to worry about them running off on us. Deal?" She struggles to hold onto the two. "Deal, Jess." THREE HOURS LATER "Jess, Jonny? Where in tarnations are you?" Race and Kayla begin to frantically search the house, the upheaved plants and broken knick knacks sending both of them into action. They stop at the twins door, listening for any movement. Not hearing any, Race quickly opens the door, Kayla right behind him. Both stop dead in their tracks. Race covers his mouth to keep from laughing, Kayla puts her head against his arm, smiling. To their amazement, Jonny and Jessie are fast asleep in the middle of the room, toys and books scattered around them. Both teenagers look as if they've run the New York Marathon, their clothes rumpled and hair sticking up everywhere. They look to the other side of the room to find the twins quietly playing with their Teletubbies, both children stark naked and enjoying themselves. Race clears his throat, briefly waking Jonny. "So, how were our little angels?" Jonny reaches for the nearest object and hurls it at him, missing his head by inches. "I take that as bad. Why didn't you call?" He tries to suppress the growing chuckle in his throat. All he gets in return is a roll of the eyes and some mumble about tornadoes. Kayla goes to the chest of drawers and starts to dress the twins for bed. Just as she starts to lift up Laura, Race asks, "Um, Jonny, have you seen the keys to the Quest Van?" Jonny opens his eyes for just one moment and gives him a glare. "Try the toilet." THE END Ok, a little rushed I know, but I'm not in the mood for long fics and I had this idea pop into my head and needed to get it written down.
