Misha cuddled the baby and looked up at the big man, who seemed edgy and irritated. Did she really want to work for this big booming loud man, Misha wasn't to fond of men as a general rule, after what Trini's daddy had done what he had to her.

When she told him she was pregnant , he took it open himself to try to rid her of the baby, by beating her, then he took off and disappeared. Luckily the beating had not made her lose Trini and her dad was there to help her pick up the pieces.

Misha's next relationship was traumatic also. When Trini was four, she had met Jay, he was a author also , who she had met at one of dad's many parties he threw. He wrote mysteries and horror books.

Misha had been swept off her feet and they started dating with a vengeance, she thought she had finally found love.

But as they dated and became closer, eventually started having sex, Misha found, he was possessive , prone to violent fits of temper, plain and simple it started to scare her to be with him. She never let him around her daughter, she left her daughter with her father when she would see Jay.

But the damage he did to her, her self esteem, it started to take a toll on her. So one night she finally got the nerve to try to break it off with him, Jay took a knife and took great pleasure in slowly cutting her body making her scream and telling her no man would ever want her. He had tied her up and left her bleeding while he went to get more booze, telling her he would start on her face when he got back.

Misha in desperation had wiggled off the bed, bleeding and hurt , used the edge of the metal bed frame, rubbing like crazy , had managed to cut the rope on her hands.

Misha had called the police and saved herself, Jay was arrested and still in prison to this day, as it was discovered two other poor women were buried in his backyard.

Misha was left with scars on her body and her heart, she vowed never again to trust a man and she hadn't, could she really live with this big loud man.

"Welllll?" Mark asked impatiently.

Misha stroked the babies small back as Trini talked to her and made faces at the baby, causing her to smile.

"Well...don't you want to interview first, look at my references ...umm see if if I know anything about taking care of a house this size and I should introduce myself I'm Misha Georgio and this is my daughter Trini ?" She asked.

Mark flopped down in the big recliner across from her, his big frame dwarfing the chair, Misha couldn't help but notice how big he was and the myriad of tattoos on his big arms, his long auburn hair was loose, he was a handsome man for sure. " Nice ta meet both of ya..I'm Mark Callaway .....House..I don't care about the house, just do something with these kids ya know."

Misha shifted the baby in her lap confused. "But well its a housekeeping job..I don't understand..."

Trini was busy cooing at the baby, but stopped and looked over at the big man. "You want my mommy to take care of your kids?"

Mark nodded at the little girl. "Yeah that's it..the housekeeping job I posted that so long ago and never followed through with getting anyone..what I need is a nanny, I mean its obvious you know about kids,

You're great with Lexi, she hasn't stopped screaming in the week I have had her and look, she's happy, she likes you...Danni..well Danni don't like no one, but I bet you can do something with her, lord knows I cant. "

Misha looked at the smiling baby in her lap, she loved kids, had a degree in child development, this was more up her alley so to speak. But there was the matter of Trini. "Well I still think you should properly interview me and then theirs Trini..I mean I know its must be a live in position like the housekeeping job...Trini would have to live here too."

Trini looked up at the mention of her name. "Ummm I don't take up much room..i can stay in the room with my mommy."

Mark looked at the smiling cheerful girl, she would be a good influence on Danni. "No problem, she can have her own room."

Misha looked surprised. "Well a interview then."

Mark sighed. "Okay...so you have references?"

Misha handed the now happy baby to Trini, who very carefully perched the giggling baby on her lap.

"Don't worry I won't drop her." The girl said looking over at Mark.

Mark just nodded and watched Misha go through the briefcase she had and get up handing him the sheet of references."Okay I'll call them after I'm done interviewing you..so why do you need this job?"

Misha sat back down keeping a close eye on the baby and Trini. "My father passed away some months ago, he had run up gambling debts I didn't know about, we lost our home and I have always worked for him, he was a writer, I was his editor and really just his helper with whatever he needed, took care of the house and Trini, so I have no formal job experience."

Mark nodded , she seemed perfect to him. "Okay well you got the job."

Misha looked up surprised. "Just like that?"

Mark nodded. "I'll check your references, as long as they check out, you got it, just take care of the kids."

Mark wrote down a figure on a piece of paper and lifted his big frame out of the chair and walked over handing it to Misha, she trembled a bit at being dwarfed by the big man, Mark noticed and frowned but said nothing about it. "This would be your pay..I will be happy to add five dollars more a hour, if you cook meals too and you can tack on five more if you keep the house clean, that's optional though, mainly I just care about you taking care of the kids."

Misha's eyebrows shot up, if she tacked on the extra ten dollars a hour, well she would be making more than she ever imagined. "Its a deal..Mister Callaway."

Mark nodded. "Okay I'll show you to your rooms and you can move your stuff in whenever ya want..can you start like right now?" He asked eager to have the kids off his hands.

Trini who was happily playing with the baby looked up. "We get to stay here really?"

Misha smiled because her daughter looked so happy and Mark nodded. "Sure sure..it'll be great..I'm sure you and Danni will get along great."

Mark was lying through his teeth, his daughter was a menace, but he was hoping this little girl would maybe rub off on her.

"Cool." The little girl said.

Misha smiled and lifted the baby back in her arms. "Maybe you should show us around a bit..the little princess here needs a change Mister Callaway."

"Mark..call me Mark and yeah..c'mon..I'll show you the nursery and your rooms."

Misha nodded and stood up with the baby to follow along after him. "The babies name is Lexi by the way."

Trini jumped up and got right next to Mark. "This sure is a big house Mister Mark..I like it."

Mark looked down at the cheerful little girl as they made their way into the foyer and started up the stairs. "Theirs a playground and a swimming pool out back and a movie theater in the basement..lots for you to do." Mark had the play yard put in just a few days ago hoping it would make Danni happy, but nothing mad Danni happy.

"Woww coool..Mommy didya hear didya?"

Misha smiled at her bubbling little girl. "Yes I did honey..but the pool is off limits unless I'm with you, understand?"

The little girl nodded.

"I'm gonna put a locked gate around it. I've only had the kids a week and I haven't got around to child proofing yet." Mark said.

Misha nodded, that was a must with three kids in the house. They reached the top of the stairs and headed down the hallway. "This is my bedroom and Danni's is right across the hall." He walked on and Misha and Trini followed as he stopped at the babies nursery.

"This is Lexi's room..I figured you can have the bedroom next door and Trini you can have the one across from your Mama."

The little girl dashed across the hallway to look at her room and squealed with delight. "Mommmmmieee come look!"

Misha smiled and carried the baby across the hallway, looking at the big room. It was huge and had a big bed in the middle and a TV, a huge bathroom off to the left, it was done in yellow. "Just look Mommy..its beautiful."

Mark shrugged. "Fix it up for her however she likes."

Misha just looked at the man, he must be really wealthy, the house was beautiful and excessively large.

Trini ran over to Mark looking up at him. "Thanks Mister Mark..I love it."

Mark just nodded at the bubbly girl, they were about to head to the nursery when Danni came banging into the room. "I don't want her ta be my nanny..I don't like her or her stupid kid." The little redhead said her bottom lip poked out.

Mark rolled his eyes. "Too bad, you don't get a say so in it, she is staying and she is your nanny and you will do what you're told." He boomed at the child.

Danni glared up at her father. "I hate you!" She yelled and ran back out of the room.

Mark sighed and ran his hand through his long hair. "I'm gonna tan her hide." he muttered.

Misha shook her head, both these children had some issues. "Umm Mark..let me go talk to her okay.." Mark nodded and Misha handed him the baby who started squalling as soon as she left Misha's arms.

Trini rushed to Mark's side. "C'mon..I'll go with you to change her and try ta help." The little girl said trying to make faces at the baby.

Mark just nodded and watched Misha walk off down the hall to Danni's room, he had a feeling Misha might just quit after a round with his daughter.
