"Are you going to be okay?" Griselda asked.
"Yeah, I can handle it until Lucia gets here."
"Okay, here you go."
Griselda gave Olivia Everly. The boys were sleep in their cribs.
"She woke up a little while ago, so she will be up a few hours. The boys might sleep until midnight. They had a long day learning colors."
"Colors?"
"Yeah, I've been teaching them primary colors with these giant squares. They will crawl to the color you call out."
"Interesting."
"They can learn a lot of new things at this age."
"How about we read some books." Olivia said, getting a pop up book off the coffee table.
"She likes that."
"I know. Fitz and I read to them every weekend."
"You are handling this very well. I've had moms' have severe panic attacks when a nanny quit."
"If you can keep my babies all day, I know I can do it."
"Wait, you're going to run out of baby food. Geneva was supposed to stop by the store before work today."
"What?"
"I have to get my daughter from after school care, so I can't go to the store for you. Do you have someone you can call? I can show how to put the car seats in your car if you have to go to the store."
"No, it's fine."
"They're going to be hungry when they wake up. You really need food."
"We'll be okay."
"Goodbye Olivia. I'll see you tomorrow."
Olivia looked at the car seats and the babies. How was she going to get three babies in the car without leaving any of them unattended? She hated to call and ask, but it was her last option.
"Marcus, it's Olivia. I need a favor."
"What's wrong with the babies?"
"Can you get me some jars of baby food, and I'll give you the money when you get here?"
"Yeah, I'll be there in less than an hour."
"Thanks."
