[For Chuck] Babysitting!

[callofkaren]

When Karen stopped to think about it, it was kind of amazing how far she'd come since the beginning. She'd gone from not being able to deal with Jim dumping her because he didn't know her and he and Pam were expecting a kid, to babysitting that kid while the Halperts got a day off to go do things Karen refused to even think about

"Let me guess- you couldn't find a Guitar Hero controller small enough." Chuck said, upon entering the rec room and seeing Karen with the kid. He thought she looked like Jim's daughter, but with so many kids on the island, it was hard to be sure sometimes.

"Sadly enough, no," Karen said with a small shake of her head and a sigh. "You think they'd make controllers for beginners, wouldn't you."

Turning to Sam, Karen added, "Samantha, this is Chuck. He's the guy you want to pay attention to when learning this kinda stuff. After me, of course."

"We've already met," Chuck said, and he bent over to grab her tiny hand and shake it anyway. "I kind of...freaked her out. When a monkey got stuck to my leg."

...it was a long story.

Karen wasn't sure she even wanted to know the story behind that one, and was glad she didn't have to ask. Sam tried following Chuck, even though he had the advantage of being able to actually stand, and Karen grabbed her before she toppled over the front of the couch.

"No, we are so not doing that," she said, dropping the plastic guitar onto the couch as she scopped Sam up. "Your mom and dad would kill me if I took you back with a giant lump on your head."
