Shadowhunters Get Through Hell As A Family (Third Book) (Completed) (3rd Book)

Adley's POV
As mom and I are walking into the institute from getting back from our lunch aunt Izzy and uncle Simon come running to us.

"Guys what's wrong?" Mom asks them

"We need someone to babysit the kids now. We have a mission and we..." Aunt Izzy panics

"Say no more, I'll do it." I help them and they relax a bit more.

"Are you sure?" Uncle Simon checks with me "Yes, I love your kids and you guys are in a rush go."

"Thank you!" They both say and run with their gear and uncle Simon almost trips out the door. I see Scarlett and Abner training together and I go up to them.

"Hey guys, looks like it's just us while your parents are out on a mission. How does that sound?" I ask them and they carefully put their training rods away and hug me and I hug them back.

"This is going to be so much fun! Adley can you teach me how to draw more?" Scarlett always asks me that and she is getting really good at it.

"Of course honey, you are getting really good." She really is though, she drew a beautiful field once. "And Abner what would you like to do?" I ask him, even though I already know his answer.

"Playing with my cars" I'm not surprised at all.

"Can I play too?" I hear Caspian asks just as I grab the kids' hands.

"Can he Adley? He's so cool" Abner compliments him and Caspian folds his arms.

"You hear that Adley, I'm so cool." Caspian repeats and I think about this. "Come on two kids on your own Adley, let me help."

"I've babysat them plenty of times Caspian. Their my cousins" I inform him

"We need to talk" He pushes and Abner has his cute begging face. Everyday you realize just how much he's looking like uncle Simon more and more. Same with Scarlett looking like aunt Izzy.

"Alright, I don't want to disappoint the kids so sure." I give in because I love my cousins. Caspian bends down at their level.

"You guys ready for an awesome day?" Caspian asks them "Ya!" They both say and we go to uncle Simon and aunt Izzy's place.

As I'm teaching Scarlett how to draw and Abner is with Caspian playing with his cars. Caspian keeps on having eye contact with me and I don't know what to say to him.

"So how's training going?" I need to come up with something new.

"You always ask me that lately and it's good. Look why do things need to be complicated can we just talk?" Caspian comes out with

"You're right, we should be able to talk but it's kind of hard considering our situation." I reminds him

"How about this, I take you out on a date tomorrow." Caspian offers

"Alright, I'll take you on that." I agree and he smiles big.

"Ooooh, Caspian and Adley sitting in a tree. K-i-s-s-i-n-g" Scarlett sings and Caspian smirks.
