"Blue, pink and green. Carter Everly and Blake." Olivia recited their names and colors.
They were home from the hospital and Fitz insisted that they only wear the color that matched their name for a week. It was easy to distinguish them. A huge package arrived filled with blue pink and green onesies.
Fitz was staying home with Olivia until they had a routine. Their nanny called hours ago letting them know she wouldn't be able start this week or next week. She had the flu.
"Do we need anything else?" Fitz asked Olivia.
"I think we have enough stuff."
"So are you going to make a schedule?" Fitz asked.
The dry erase board was on the coffee table. Olivia took the marker from him and dropped it when she heard someone in the hall.
"We have company."
"Marcus." Fitz said.
He came in their apartment with balloons and a gift bag.
"Shanice bought this for you. She wanted to come up, but the kids are being rowdy in the car."
"Thank you."
"How are you?" Marcus asked Olivia.
"Good a little overwhelmed. I'm a mother of three."
"You'll get used to it."
"How are you and Shanice?"
"Married life is great."
"And you Fitz?"
"Better than I expected. Their personalities are already showing. Everly and Blake always want attention. Carter doesn't whine unless he needs something."
"Where's your nanny."
"She has the flu."
"You dont have hired help? I thought you two would have a backup nanny for times like this."
"No we don't. If you and Shanice can handle six without a nanny, we can take care of our kids without a nanny for two weeks. " Olivia said.
"Or you could be a regular family and go without a nanny." Marcus said.
"We are getting a nanny." Olivia said.
