Reality check

Chapter 2: My little nephew


Previously-

He stepped into his cabin and sighed again, it was the same old routine and he was getting bugged of it. Nothing exciting was happening to him at the moment and he wished that he would do anything to make his life more interesting…

No matter what the difficulties, she had always felt a strange sense of peace whenever she looked at the kid before her. 'Maybe its his charm to make me feel happy'


Now-

He massaged his temples. This had never happened before. An employee sending a resignation letter in his company was practically unheard of and the employee happened to be one of the most efficient workers and he was the cause of the sudden streak of profits which the Hiwatari Corporation was enjoying… Now how on earth will he find a good replacement?

/Knock knock/ Kai only grunted in response. The person came in and grinned at his boss and he was lucky to hear a grunt in response he grinned wider and in a second added seriously,

"Kai, we urgently need a replacement"

'You think I don't know that?' "hn"

Tyson Granger sighed. When will his reserved boss (and need I say, his best friend) ever learn to give the right responses?

"I thought that with your permission, we could start recruiting"

"Anything else?"

"So that's a yes then"

Kai only grunted in response. He really needed to take a break.

Tyson grinned again "You know Kai, you really need to loosen up"

"Whatever"


Hilary yawned, she had been staying up late again and it was really tiring… she had already started applying for jobs in the net and hopefully she'll be called for recruiting. She was just about to shut her laptop when she heard a voice-

"Hilly?" (Hilary) A little kid of three years stood near the doorway of her bedroom. He was rubbing his sleepy eyes with his fists and yawned a bit. Anyone would say of how cute the kid looked, with chubby cheeks and curly hair, completely fair and had maroon eyes. He was the splitting image of his father a.k.a Hilary's brother in law. But he did inherit his curly blonde hair from his late mom.

Hilary smiled as she looked at the kid standing before her. "What is it, Aidan?" she asked as she scooped him in his arms.

"No goin to la-la land?" (Not going to sleep?)

"I was gonna… come on; let's go to la-la land"

A few days later-

'What am I gonna do? I've been searching for a decent job for ten days and all I've got are rejections… at this rate I'll have to try my luck as a waitress or something…' Hilary was now going towards her last interview for the day. True, she had gotten a lot of interview offers but the moment the potential employers came to know that she was the fired employee of SHIELD inc., they all shied away from her, giving her some excuses or other. She was presently making her way through a lavish building and she couldn't help but drool at the great design of the building. 'Must be a very rich owner' she mused.


Kai was going through all the resumes and stopped short at a particular one. He was well aware that she had been fired but a gut feeling told him that she wasn't the cause for the company's losses and his gut feeling had turned to be correct...

Tyson was pacing back and forth his cabin, the HR had interviewed TWENTY candidates already and Kai wasn't satisfied with any of them. 'At this rate, we'll have to be searching for a replacement for the whole millennium. Meh! If we live that long…'

"Hire her"

Tyson's jaws sagged, "Kai are you crazy? She brought down a company for kami's sake" Tyson was now standing before his boss as the boss had sent for him. As soon as he got to know that Kai was going to hire the said brunette, he really thought that Kai was officially out of it.

"Hire her"

"Kai, please listen to me, I know that I have no right to tell this, but dude, that woman could ruin the company for you"

Kai inwardly twitched. Didn't that baka understand what he just said?

"Hire her. End of discussion." So telling, Kai handed his assistant director a paper which Kai's legal advisor- Kenny had sent him. Tyson read through the contents and sighed. Kenny had found that the candidate was just framed and had nothing to do with the chaos and so it was perfectly safe and rather smart to employ her.

"No formal interview then?"

"Get it over with and hire her" the two toned man replied in a monotone which signaled the end of discussion.


She was happily walking and was in her own world, if nobody else were there, I am sure she would have pranced about like a little kid. She got the job and what's more, she didn't have to sell off her apartment like she originally planned to…


Aidan was running to and fro his bedroom. He had noticed that Hilly (for that was what he called Hilary as) was not tossing him up and down like she used to and his little mind could only wonder why Hilly didn't do that. His babysitter Natsumi was really very good to him but he didn't play any games with Natsumi the way he played hide and seek, Rock, paper n scissors with Hilly and it didn't help at all that he'd fall asleep before Hilly returned home.

Now however he picked up a bouncy ball and kept bouncing it on the wall, failing to catch it back with his little hands and breaking a lamp in the process. He just blocked his ears with his little index fingers and tightly shut his eyes when he heard the noise.

Aidan opened his eyes again and felt relieved that that lamp didn't eat him up like he thought and ran toward the lamp (now no longer called that, since its broken into ten pieces!) He really was curious as to what would happen if he poked at the broken glass pieces, but he remembered that Hilly had said not to play with pointy and sharp objects and this one was really, really sharp so he just shook his little head and did only one thing that little kids his age would do….

"Waaaaaaahhhhhhh waaaahhhhhhhhh"

Hilary rang her own doorbell silently noting to get some spare keys the next time she went out but no one answered it( obviously since a certain blond kid was throwing a tantrum and Natsumi was busy with the said kid. )After about ten minutes of waiting, a teary kiddo was in the arms of Natsumi at the doorstep.

Natsumi was a college student of about 5feet 5", she was very attractive with marmalade hair reaching her shoulders, had green eyes but her best feature however was a small, sharp nose but the said feature was currently scrunched up; courtesy the blond kid who seemed like he had just given a temper tantrum.

Hilary sighed as she looked at the scene before her.

"Natsumi, what did he do this time?"

"He broke a lamp and started crying, Hilary; but the strangest thing is, he isn't hurt and yet he's crying like he is"

Hilary sighed again and picked the kid up in her arms. This wasn't the only time Aidan broke things and cried for it. Kami, he cried like he's sorry for what he did and yet he broke things like there was no tomorrow. Hilary rocked the three year old and looked at his teary maroon eyes. Aidan just blinked and hugged Hilary's neck.

"Thanks a bunch Natsumi, you can go home now" said she has she handed over the money to Natsumi.

"Come on Aidan, stop crying, I know you're sorry" she said as she closed the door. Aidan only snuggled closer and was fast asleep!

'Boy! If only we adults could have no worries like kids, it would be heaven' she mused.


MD: Ha ha I bet you might have thought that Aidan was Hilary's son in the beginning. Anyways, that about wraps up the chapter 2 of reality check… hope you all enjoyed it… please review and tell me if you liked this chapter or not and flames are always welcome
