Chapter 2
Tea dropped her bag down in her new room at Kaiba's mansion. The 28 year-old looked around her, admiring the room. The walls were covered in a peach colour, with a white ceiling; a dark cherry 4-post bed with a white canopy was in the center of the room; a matching vanity and night table; and peach carpet adorned the room beautifully.
'I can tell that this was your taste and ideas Maggie,' Tea thought to herself as she flopped down onto the bed.
Knock. Knock.
"Come in," shouted Tea. The door creaked open, and in walked a shy Bobby.
"Auntie Tea," he answered timidly. Tea looked over towards his direction, and smiled when she saw the little boy.
"Hey Bobby, why don't you come over here and sit with me," offered Tea by patting the spot next to her. Bobby grinned, and ran onto the bed to sit on the offered spot.
"Did you really know mommy," he asked.
"Yes I did."
"What do you know about her?" He looked at her with curious eyes.
'Poor baby. You never go to know your mother,' Tea thought to herself.
"Well, what do you know about her," Tea asked, 'After all, he must know something about her.'
"I know what she looks like, but that's it. I don't remember anything that Gwen remembers," he answered.
"What does Gwen remember?"
"I remember her smell, voice, and caring nature," came Gwen's voice. Tea looked at the little girl, and noticed the pain in her eyes.
"Come here baby." Tea offered her arm to the near-crying girl. Gwen ran into her arms, and cried freely. Bobby started to cry too. Not because of his mother, but because he made his sister upset.
Seto was trying to work, but the scene that took place earlier kept playing in his mind.
Flashback
"So, when can I start," she asked.
"Can you start today," asked Bobby.
"Bobby," scolded Seto. Tea giggled, and kneeled down until she was eye leveled with Bobby.
"Can you tell me your name," she asked. Bobby beamed, proud that someone so pretty asked for his name.
"Robert Alexander Kaiba. And this is my sister, Guinivere Josephine Kaiba," answered Bobby. Guinivere smacked her brother on the head.
"She asked for your name ONLY, not mine too dummy."
"Guinivere Josephine Kaiba, apologize to your brother right now," ordered Seto. The little girl folded her arms across her chest, and muttered a "sorry."
Tea giggle again, before giving her reply, "I'll be glad to start today. Just let me tell my parents."
"You still have to tell your parents," snorted Seto. Tea rolled her eyes.
"Of course. I was planning to stay with them until I got a job. I am staying at your house, right?"
"Of course. Father isn't that stupid," answered Gwen.
"Guinivere." Seto's voice was full of warning for his eldest child. Gwen looked up at her father, grinned, and "hehe"ed at her father.
"Then it's settled. I'll phone my parents, and I'll be over as soon as I can."
End of flashback'I'm just glad Guinivere took a liking to her, after what she did with the other nannies that I hired in the past.' Seto couldn't help but smile at his daughter's past antics; the endless screaming of not obeying the nannies, the pranks that caused the nannies to quit, the endless times he tried talking some sense into her.
'But daddy, they're only after you're money. They don't care about us.'
It turned out that she was right. All of the nannies were only after his money, and didn't care much for his children.
'Ever since Maggie died, my world's been turned upside down by those two.' A knock snapped Seto out of his thoughts.
"Come in." The door opened, and Tea walked into his office.
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you wanted to put the children to bed. I told Gwen that I would do it, but she insisted that you do it."
Seto smiled. That was one of the qualities he liked in his daughter: determination.
"I'm coming." He got up from his chair, and walked with Tea.
"And the princess lived happily ever after. The end," whispered Tea, seeing that Bobby was asleep. The young woman kissed the little boy on the head before tucking him in.
"Goodnight little angel," she whispered. She closed the door, smiling at the little boy behind the door.
"I see that you're done," whispered a voice. Tea turned around, and saw Seto standing in front of Gwen's door.
"Yeah. I'm going to bed myself, if that's ok with you."
"That's fine. I'm going to be up late tonight anyways. Got to get the new product out as soon as possible. Goodnight." Seto walked towards his office, not hearing the "Goodnight" from Tea.
A.N.: Hey. Sorry for the long wait. Had to do the Christmas chapter. Hehe. Well, read and review. And remember, NO FLAMES.
