"Here." He said passing the baby back to her. "Hes so adorable. Most babies are but he is a real cutie." She said all girly looking down. "Thanks." Nikolas said as his phone began to ring. "Cassadine." He said answering it. "Oh thats right. Okay Im on my way." He said as he flipped his phone shut. "You're leaving?" Courtney said looking at him all worried. "Yes." He said kinda lowly. "He has a doctors appointment that you forgot about so he has to go too?" Courtney asked hoping she was right but had a feeling she was wrong.
"No I do have to go to the hospital for a meeting though." He said looking at her. "And you have to take Ethan with you?" She asked him. "No." He simply replied."Well I-" she began to say. "Courtney you'll be fine. I have faith in you and if I didnt believe me you wouldnt be watching my son." Nikolas finished as he walked out of the nursery. "And I know that but today is the first day I ever been alone with a baby. You know that I couldnt even change a diaper and I still have doubts! You cant leave me here!" She said following him quickly with the baby in her arms.
"Courtney have a little faith in yourself besides it'll only be an hour long if that." Nikolas said looking at her. "The longest hour of our lives!" She said looking at him. He looking into her blue eyes and could tell she was frightened to be alone. "I'll make an apperance and get out of there as fast as I can promise." He said looking at her."Thats not fast enough." She replied. He smiled at her.
"Call me if you need anything." he said before walking out the door. He looked down at his son and kissed him on the forehead. "Love you." He said before leaving. "Oh my god!" She whisper under her breath. Boy did that guy have a lot of faith in her. She looked down at the little boy. "Well its just you and me kid." she said as he began crying. "Yeah I would do that too." She said as she began to walk with him. Ten minutes had passed and he didnt stop. "Im calling." She said as she pulled out herself.
He stepped off the elevator and his cell started ringing. "Cassadine." He said. "He wont stop crying." she said quickly into the phone. "He's probably hungry." Nikolas answered. "Okay do I make him pizza? What?" She asked him. He tried hard not to laugh at the nanny he just hired. "No theres a bottle in the fridge put it in a pan to heat it up." he said. "Okay." She said as she carried the baby to the kitchen. She placed him in the highchair and walked over to the fridge. She pulled out a bottle and found a pan and stuck it on high on the stove.
"So what do we do? Just wait? Does it whistle like my tea pot?" She asked looking at the baby who just smiled at her. "I'll take that as a yes." She said as she sat beside him in the chair. Two minutes had passed and she was getting bored. "Wanna play peek-a-boo?" She said looking at the baby. He cooed and she took it as a yes. She put her hands over her eyes. "Wheres Ethan?" She said all baby like. "There he is!" She squealed as she moved her hands. He laughed.
She did it about five more times and everytime he laughed harder. She smelled something. Something was burning. She moved her eyes side to side and looked at Ethan. "What is that smell?" She asked herself while looking at the baby. She turned her head and the burner was on fire. "Shit!" She said as she stood up and quickly ran over there. She grabbed the hose that was on the sink and cut that on."Oh god!" She said as she began squirting water on it. Ten minutes later and it was finally out. Ethan was laughing the hardest he had so far.
"Its so not funny little dude. I swear once we get married cooking is so your job." She said looking at him while letting out a deep breath. "I gotta call your dad." She said picking up her cell phone. "Well I think this is what we should-" He began to say as he was interuppted. "Mr. Cassadine. Line one." The person said over the intercom. He looked at the phone on the meeting table and pulled it closer to him. Who would be calling him in the middle of the meeting? He grabbed the receiver and put it up to his ear.
"Hello?" He said as he leaned back in his chair. "Um yeah. When are you coming home?" She asked. "Shortly why?" Nikolas asked. "Because we have just a little bit of a problem." She said softly. "What happened?" He asked her. "Well I put the bottle in the pan and cut it on high and the next thing I knew the burner was on fire." She said into the phone as she looked over at the stove and back at Ethan. "You didnt put water in the pan did you?" He asked her. "You never said that!" She exclaimed. "Just give him a cold bottle. It'll be okay. I'll be home shortly. He is still living right?" Nikolas asked. "Now is not the time to crack jokes." She said. "I know sorry. I'll see you in a little bit." Nikolas said before hanging up.
"Sorry new nanny." He replied while looking at the members there. "Where were we?" He asked. "Your dad thinks this is funny." she said looking at Ethan. "Oh who am I kidding. I cant do this. Your life is at risk if I continue babysitting you." She said looking at him. "Im screwed." She said as she got up and went and got him a bottle from the fridge. She walked back over and got him out of the high chair and walked into the living room with him. She sat on the couch and started feeding him his bottle. He held it himself.
"Oh look your more independent then I am." She said as she laid down on the couch. "We'll take a nap and watch I'll screw that up somehow as well." She said looking at him. She kissed him on his forehead out of instinct. Something told her too. Next thing she knew she was being tapped on the shoulder. "Courtney?" the person said softly. She quickly jumped up. "Wheres the baby?" She said quickly. "Its okay. He's in his swing." Nikolas said looking at her.
She let out a deep breath. "Wait how'd he get there?" Courtney asked him. "I put him there. I came in and he was awake but you were sleeping so I moved him but your phone just went off. Thats why I woke you up." Nikolas said handing her her phone. She flipped it open. "Eww." She said as she flipped it shut. "Somebody you dont like?" He asked her as he sat on the back of the couch. "My ex. He probably heard what my dad did to me." She said not being able to make eye contact. "Oh." Nikolas said.
"How did you get him to hold his own bottle?" Nikolas asked her. "I didnt. He took it on his own. I didnt think he knew how." Courtney said confused. "Oh no that was the first time I've seen him do that." Nikolas said looking at her. "Um Nikolas I think we should talk." She said looking at him. "Okay whats wrong?" He asked her. "I cant do this baby sitting thing. I almost burnt down your house and everything." She said as she wanted to cry so badly. "Courtney its okay. My house is still standing and my son looks happier then most days." He siad looking at her.
"Yeah because he knows he has a nanny who doesnt know what shes doing." Courtney said pleading her case. "No its because he likes you." "Yeah for entertainment. You should have seen how hard he was laughing when the burner was on fire." She said quickly. "I dont care at the fact that you almost burnt my house down if it made my son laugh. His happiness is my number one priority and if that means his nanny being an arsonist then so be it besides I havent seen Ethan attached to someone so quick and Im not lying." He finished.
"I cant. I mean I cant cook. I burned noodles before!" She squealed. "Noodles?" He asked her. "Yes noddles." She said looking at him."Then I'll cook before I go anywhere or hire a cook." Nikolas said looking at her. "Why do you want me to be your nanny? I mean I have no experience what so ever and I just changed my first diaper today, almost burnt down your house." She said looking at him. "Why?" He said clarifying that as she nodded her head yes. "Yes you may have done those things and be totally inexperience but my son likes you and because of you he now holds his own bottle." He said.
"Oh that was so waiting to happen though." She said pleading her case again. "Okay fine. I cant make you stay and watch my son. If you wanna leave then you are more then welcomed and I'll pay you for today and the rest of the week." He said giving up. She took a deep breath. "Well maybe I can do this." She said looking at him. "I know you can do this. With some work and help." He said as she gave him a look. "With a lot of help but Im here to help you." Nikolas said looking at her. "Okay." She said. "I'll make you a deal." He replied. "Whats that?" She asked him.
"If you can stick in there for another week and if you feel like you cant do this I'll give you more then enough money for you to be able to go home just for trying." He said. "I'll stick in another week but I wont except the money if I didnt earn it." She said looking at him. "Well you wanna know a little secret?" He asked her. "Sure whats that?" She said as she looked up at him. "Because you said that makes me believe you know the meaning of money." He said looking at her.
She smiled. Finally. Somebody believed in her. She thought about it and this was the first person that she honestly believed, believed in her. Her dad never did and neither did Patrick and they both known her for years but this man she just met today had more faith in her then she did herself. She looked over at Ethan who did seem rather happy but she still didnt believe it was because of her that he was so happy. He might have to do some convincing with that one because Ethan seemed like an always happy baby.
