Title: Babysitting 2 Rating: G Length: 205 Summary: Owen makes Kel’s life even more miserable. AU where Kel babysits Owen.
:::
“Kel, I’m hungry,” Owen whined, tugging at her shirt.
“But you already ate dinner,” Kel protested. Kel had been watching Owen for hours now, and all she wanted was to go home.
“But I’m hungry,” he rebutted, “Pwease, Kel?”
She looked at the child before her, whose eyes were beginning to tear ever so slightly, sighed, and walked into the kitchen. Owen followed her, skipping gleefully. “What do you want to eat?” she asked suspiciously.
“Ice cream!” Owen cried.
“I don’t know if your father would be happy if I gave you ice cream,” Kel replied slowly, “Don’t you want some vegetables?” Kel looked at Owen, hopeful that he would accept her compromise.
But luck was not on Kel’s side today, for Owen began to wail. “B-but I want ice cream!” he sobbed. Kel frantically ran to retrieve ice cream for the screaming child. “Shhh, Owen,” she soothed, placing the bowl into his small hands, “It’s okay.” Owen opened his eyes, and at the sight of the bribe in his grasp, he immediately silenced. “All better?” Kel asked apprehensible.
Owen nodded. “Thank you, Kel,” he said, the picture of sweetness, but Kel knew better now. Owen may have seemed lovable, although he was anything but.

Ah, the art every child has mastered - having a fit until, just to shut them up, an adult gives them what they want. I love that you've referenced Kel and her vegetable habit!
