May 18th
Trent Wells Apartment Trent Wells closed his eyes for only two minutes and it turned out to be four hours. Now it was nine in the morning. He used his power making his eyes zoom into his daughters’ room seeing that both of them were waking up. He sat up in bed looking at the time. If he wanted to make a living he needed to get to his job on time if he wanted to catch the bad guys. He got up walking into the bathroom washing his face off before looking in the mirror. He was tired, exhausted and out of it. Raising two girls under the age of nine months would do that to anyone. After Trent got dressed he ran into the apartment’s small kitchen warming up a bottle and pulling out a bag of cheerios and a banana cutting it up before he threw it on a plate. He just had enough time to brew some coffee for him before he heard Peyton wail. His 8 month old daughter knew what time she wanted up and it was now which made her 4 month old sister Brooke start screaming her head off. Running into their bedroom he took his daughters to the kitchen placing Peyton in her high chair with the food and now a sippy cup in front of her. Trent went into the living room which flowed right into the kitchen as he changed Brooke’s diaper and clothes before he went back sitting down next to Peyton as he started to feed Brooke. Raising two daughters was going to be hard for him since one of their mothers was dead and the other one was in jail. “Morning my beautiful girls.” He states as he kisses both of them as he helps Peyton take off her night clothes. After Brooke was in her chair, Trent cleaned up Peyton getting her dressed before she tried to walk into his room which had some files in their she would mess up. “Don’t think so Peyt.” He picked her up going into the living room turning on the television to some kid show as he waited for the babysitter to get there. |

Niki was almost seven months pregnant now, and Brennan was hardly ever around these days, she couldn't figure it out. She thought the two of them were made for life, obviously she was wrong. The sign she got that night with the photograph falling from the wall, maybe it wasn't telling her everything was good to go with Brennan, maybe it was DL telling her to stay away from him.
However, it was now over a year since DL's death, and although in many ways Niki still missed him terribly, she knew she could move on with her life if she required, without thinking she'd be betraying DL's memory. In Brennan's absence, Niki got bored very easily, especially with Micah being at that age where he was nearly always out with his friends, or doing his best to meet up with Molly since she moved to Washington.
So, Niki got herself registered with a Baby Sitting Company, who hire out baby sitters to those in need, and that's where Niki was heading off to today. There was a sweet young guy very much in need of a helping hand, he had two small daughters, and with Niki being a single mom, plus two on the way, felt she would be the perfect person to help him.
She knocked on the door, to announce her arrival before trying the door to see if it would open, it did. "Hello!" She said as she stepped further into the house, and making her way toward the living room. She figured if he was having as tough a time of it as she imagined he would, the last thing he'd need was coming to open a door.
"Baby Sitter has arrived to relieve you for work." Niki called out in a bright voice.

Trent heard the door open and this made him jump up walking meeting a beautiful women half way. He smiled at her, she seemed so bright and cheery which was good if his girls went crazy as the usually did. “Hi. I’m Trent Wells.” He puts his hand out to realize that there was a binky in it. He chuckled as he saw that this women was pregnant. He prayed that she wouldn’t be giving birth anytime soon. “Please come in.” He states as they get to the living room. “This little girl here is Peyton.” He points to Peyton who is trying to walk by holding onto the couch.
“And the one who is passing out again is Brooke.” He heard his coffee maker ding saying his coffee was done as he walked into the kitchen poring him some coffee. “I just made some coffee if you like some but I’m guessing you want any since your in a condition.” He hoped he didn’t sound rude or anything but he could tell that this women wasn’t just heavier. He hated leaving his girls with babysitters from the service but Kim was no longer able to baby-sit everyday and that meant he had to if he wanted to make any money for them to live off of.

{{assuming a binky is a pacifier? Googled and that's what it showed}}
Niki smiled brightly at the guy as he held out his hand to shake hers, but saw a pacifier in his hand. She shook it as best she could anyway but continued to smile. "Niki Sanders, and pleased to meet you Trent." Niki replied as he told her to come in. "Thanks." She replied as she followed him into the living room. Once she was inside the living room she saw two of the most gorgeous little baby girls. Trent introduced both his daughters to Niki. She couldn't help but continue to smile brightly.
"Oh Trent, they're absolutely gorgeous." Niki stated, as she bent down as best she could to ruffle Peyton's head, "Hi Peyton, I'm Niki." She said softly, and gave her a bright smile, and then Trent mentioned Brooke. Niki just smiled at Brooke. "Lovely name's you have for them both." Niki said brightly. She felt she was going to enjoy looking after these two, besides as they were fairly close in age, it would give her good practice for when her twins came into this world.
Trent mentioned coffee, but then pointed out her condition saying she probably wouldn't want any coffee. "Well, actually I've been drinking it be decaf only. I don't want to put you to any trouble, but a glass of orange juice would be great, thanks, if you have that." Niki said brightly, hoping she wasn't being too rude for suggesting a glass of orange juice instead.

(ya sorry it’s the same thing)
Trent smiles at Niki as she tells him that his daughters are gorgeous. “Thanks so were their mother’s.” He states in a way hoping that Niki got that the girls were indeed half sisters. He watched Peyton interact with her new babysitter, she seemed to like her at least.
After giving the women another smile he went to the kitchen. When Niki asked for orange juice he scratched his head wondering if he had any but luckily he found some when he looked in the fridge. “You’re in luck we have some.” He poured her a cup coming back into the living room handing it to her before he took a seat on the chair.
Looking at his hands he wasn’t sure what he should tell Niki about his job or anything else. “There’s a red notebook on the kitchen table with my cell number and facts about the girls plus their schedules.” He looks at her giving a chuckle. “Well a schedule that they had made at least. I cant put them on one with my job.” Damn he brought up his job. He hated doing that without even thinking but what was done was done.

{ooc: its alright hon}
Niki raised her eyebrow slightly when Trent said that their mothers were gorgeous too. So they were half sisters, but still, that was none of Niki's business, and besides her twins would be half siblings to Micah anyway. "So, they're half siblings then?" Niki asked with a smile, wondering if she should dare ask what happened to their mothers to have made Trent left with both of them, but felt it was none of her business as the baby sitter. If Trent felt the need to tell her anything, he could.
Niki smiled when Trent said she was in luck they did indeed have some orange juice. "Thank you Trent, although it wouldn't have been a problem if you didn't have any." She smiled again though when he came out and handed her a cup. She took a sip, and then smiled again, "Thanks." She said again. When Trent sat down, Niki took a quick look around for a vacant seat for herself to sit on and quickly sat down on the sofa opposite Trent.
Trent went on to explain about a notebook with his cell number and their schedules. Schedules the girls had made by all accounts of what he said, because of his job. "That's alright Trent, I'm sure we'll get along just nicely." She replied, and then wondered if she should ask him about his job. "So, what is it you do, if I'm not being too personal?" She decided to ask, to make general conversation if nothing else.

Trent nodded at Niki, shaking his head as he looked at his daughters. “Peyton’s mother died in childbirth and Brooke’s mother couldn’t deal with raising a kid.” He moved in his seat giving her a smile. “I got full custody of Brooke after her mom went to jail for the third time but don’t worry she’s in for life so no one will be bothering you here.” He wanted to let her know that so the women wouldn’t run away because of the crazy girl he slept with. He hoped Niki wouldn’t run off after he talked about the law like most of the babysitters did, not wanting to be involved just in case the mother came back.
Trent lowered his head when she asked about his job, quickly glancing at the locked cabinet he knew he needed to tell her if he was going to get his bags from the case. “I’m a bounty hunter.” He gave her a look wondering how she was going to react. “No one knows my real name so you are safe here and I don’t keep my equipment at home. I only have some bags of gun shells in the locked cabinet over there.”
Niki seemed like someone he could trust. There was just something about here that made him think if something were to happen she would be able to protect her girls even with her being pregnant. “So is this your first?” He wanted to change the subject just in case she was going to freak and leave him alone without being able to get to work today.

Niki continued to smile brightly at the the children and Trent as he told his story about the girls' mothers. She gave him a sad smile when he said Peyton's mother had died and another sad smile when he spoke of Brooke's mother. She nodded her in several places to acknowledge what he was saying. "Sorry to hear that Trent, it must be difficult for you, but I wont worry, I can more than look after myself, these little ones included." She said referring to Peyton and Brooke as she took it in turns to look at both of them.
She raised her eyebrow, but wasn't overly shocked when Trent told her he was a bounty hunter. It meant he was a good guy in Niki's eyes, and that was good enough for her. "Well you're doing good for this world, I can't say anything against that, but, isn't it dangerous when you have young children?" Niki asked, not that she meant to question his job, more question his safety when two young children could be left without a father, never mind their mothers.
Niki shook her head, when Trent asked if her pregnancy was her first. "No, I've a young teenage boy as well, he's called Micah, his father passed away some time ago now." Niki said, with a sad smile, in many ways now that Brennan had more or less abandoned her, she wished DL was still around. Not only was she going to be a single mother to Micah, she was going to be a single mother to twins as well now. What a life.

Trent gave Niki a smile, he was glad that she was able to make him feel like he wasn’t a bad father. Sure he had just met her but Trent was sure that this woman was here to help him no matter what.
He nodded and lowered his head when she questioned his job. “It is but I have a gift for it.” He meant his power but he wasn’t going to tell her about that. “I’m trying my best to raise my daughters right but sometimes the only way I see of doing that is too protect the world.” He wasn’t sure he wasn’t making any sense but he knew that his job meant something to him just as his girls do.
Trent gave her a look placing his hand on hers. “I’m sorry to hear that. For the little time I had with Peyton’s mom I kind of know how it feels. I’m here if you ever need to talk.” After he let go of her hand he went to the cabinet opening it pulling out his bag before he turned back looking at his girls. “I hope to one day do something that wont put my girls in danger but I cant of anything I would be good at.”
(OOC: ok since I heard Mek left and he was gonna jump in this thread im not sure what else we can do in here if u got ideas let me know. love the banner)

{ooc Yeah Mek did leave - no reason why either. Mel has made a nasty character to do what Mek's was going to do however, but I don't think she planned on having him have a one off post here. So maybe we can just tie it up and at least they've met and we can get into the other thing later. And thanks for the banner compliment - pity her daughter seems to have gone awol - probably have to go over that pic with another soon.}
Niki listened to Trent as he spoke about his job, and how he said he had a gift. She wasn't sure what he meant by that, but she wasn't going to question it, instead, she nodded her head and smiled at him. He seemed to have a level head on his shoulders, and you needed that with young children involved. "I think you're doing a fantastic job Trent, they look very well." Niki said, but she did understand why he was doing the job he was doing.
It made her think back to when she had to strip to get money to help her and Micah survive when DL had been locked up in prison for something he hadn't done. It was true, when it came to your children, you would do anything to keep them healthy and fed and safe.
When Trent touched her hand with his own, she looked down at it, feeling a slight tingle, but not acting on it, because she was still very confused about things. What with DL having died, and then Brennan, it was all so quick with Brennan, and now he had disappeared, left her, and she was pregnant with his twins. It made her think to when the photograph of DL fell from her wall, she had been certain it was a sign from DL saying he was happy, but now with Brennan's disappearing act, she was certain it was more because he wasn't happy.
She sighed thinking about it all. "Thank you for your kind words Trent, and I will certainly remember that, and if I feel I need to talk, I will approach you." Niki replied, and then she once again listened as he spoke about doing something else, but not knowing what he would be good at.
"Sometimes we never know what we would be good at Trent until we try. But I am sure your daughters are safe enough." Niki said softly, looking at them both, they certainly seemed safe and they also seemed content. She was glad she had been called to look after these two girls, they might not be twins, but they were close enough in age, it would certainly give Niki a kick start on what it would be like to handle two babies.
