Olivia was startled when she felt a pacifier on her lips. Wet little hands slapped her face.
"What? How did you get in here?" She asked groggily.
Blake laughed and Everly took her pacifier. Carter moved closer to her shoulder.
"Good morning." Fitz came over for a kiss while getting himself ready for work.
"How long have they been up?"
"A few minutes."
This was their second week taking care of their babies without nannies. Greselda didn't show up for work the next day. Olivia called the agency to find out if she had an emergency. They let her know Greselda would not be returning. Lucia let her know that she accepted another job offer, and that she couldn't work for them after Friday when Fitz came home.
Fitz wanted to hire another day nanny. He wasn't thinking with his emotions, he was worried about childcare when Olivia couldn't keep the babies during the day. What would they do when he had a meeting he couldn't cancel and Olivia had a dentist appointment?
"Do you want to call the agency today and see if we can get a new nanny for the day shift?"
"Why?"
"Because we need the help."
"No we don't."
"Livvie we do. Are you going to take them to your appointments?"
"You can keep them."
"I have to work."
"You can work from home."
"I still have to work, and I can't do that with babies crawling."
"We don't need another nanny."
"We can set boundaries immediately. You control everything. The nanny will be here to help not replace you."
"I'll think about it."
"Livvie."
"I need to think about it. Fitz our babies prefer the paid help. You don't think that's a problem?"
"You will be here most of the day with them." Fitz turned up his nose. "You can start with diaper changes."
Olivia smiled, "Okay."
