I'm sorry it took me so long to update this chapter, and I know I say that every time, but anyway, here's the new chapter, I hope you like it and please review.


When Nathan arrived home that night he immediatly knew something was wrong. Haley was sitting on the couch a book in her hands, but she obviously wasn't reading, her glasses were on the coffe table and she wasn't even looking at the pages in front of her. When she saw him, she stood up.

"Nathan, we need to talk."

"Honey, what is it?" What was wrong? Things were going rather well. What could it be?

"We have to fire Olivia."

"What? Why," Nathan was confused, "She's great."

Olivia was the nanny. She had been working for them since Maggie was two months old.

"Well, apparently she's not that great."

"What do you mean?" What could Olivia have done to make Haley want to fire her?

"When I came home tonight, Laura told me a few things rather disturbing." Laura was Haley's 13 year old niece, her and her brother Adam were staying with them for a week.

Haley went back to the couch and Nathan sat next to her.

"What did she tell you?"

"She told me that Olivia doesn't treat Mary and Maggie the same way."

"Well, Hales, they're not the same age, it's normal." Nathan didn't understand what the problem was.

"No, it's not that. She treats them completely differently. She.. Look I'm gonna go get Laura, she'll tell you."

Haley went to get her niece and a few minutes later the two of them were back in the living room.

"So, Laura," Nathan started, "Why don't you tell me?"

"Well.."the young girl was a little hesitant, she didn't want to cause problems.

"Go ahead sweetie," Haley smiled.

"So, euh.. Olivia is kinda different with both girls. Like, she feeds Maggie here, in the living room where she watches cartoons, while Mary eats all alone in the kitchen. Or this afternoon Olivia took them to the park, you know the one which is on the other side of town. I caught up with them there and we all came back her. Well, on the walk back, which is rather long, Mary asked once if we could stop for a few minutes because she was tired and Olivia refused, she told her to stop whining and she said 'look at your sister, she's not complaining'."

Nathan couldn't believe what he was hearing, surely Laura had made a mistake. "If Maggie who's younger wasn't complaining, maybe Olivia was right."

"You're kidding?" Laura was shocked. "Of course Maggie wasn't complaining, she was sleeping in her stroller. And Mary wasn't whining, she just asked to stop once. Even I was tired."

Sensing that Nathan needed time to process the information, Haley told Laura to go to bed.

"I'msure there's an explanation," Nathan said."It's probably just a misunderstanding. We'll talk about it tomorrow with Mary."

"Tomorrow's thursday, Mary's not gonna be here." Haley replied bitterly.

"Then we'll talk friday evenin.."

"She's not with us this week-end," Haley countered.

"The following one then," he replied and he headed towards the kitchen.

"Yeah, right, we'll talk about the way the nanny treats the kids in two weeks, it's not like it's important," Haley whispered in a sardonic tone, but he didn't hear her.
