Ryan sat on the couch at her mothers side. About nineteen baby sitters had sat down in front of them and Ryan had said no to every one of them and Helen couldn't understand why. All the girls offered to play barbie with her and also told her they had all the Disney movies from when they were kids yet they still said no. The two boys told her they would take her outside to play and go swimming with her and even take her for ice cream which was Ryan's addiction yet she still said no. Ryan seemed to pout through every interview and there was no smile of perpetual kindness that always seemed to be placed upon her face. And she kept glancing at the door as if waiting for something.

"So I think you and I could have a lot of fun together." The ditzy looking blonde said.

"Yeah." Ryan gave her a quick smile.

"Alright we'll call you." Helen smiled in Ryan's direction when she heard the door slam behind her. "So? How bout her?"

"Maybe..." Ryan said quietly. It was almost five o'clock and the rain was still pouring on and off for the past couple of hours. Helen needed to get to work but they still hadn't found a sitter and Helen wasn't comfortable with leaving Ryan with someone she wasn't happy with. She told her job she would be there as soon as she could.

"Ryan there are no more on the list which means I can't go to work today." She tried really hard not to let her frustration seep through.

"I'm sorry." She looked down at her lap sadly. "I really thought he would come..." She whispered to low for her mother to hear. She sighed and turned to Ryan and stroked her curls.

"It's okay. I understand your scared." She gave a sympathetic smile.

"Uh huh." Ryan lied hardly blinking. Suddenly the doorbell rang and Ryan was off the couch in a flash and was at the door. She peered around the curtain like she was taught and saw dark red eyes staring back at her with a nervous smile on the pale lips below them. She beamed and threw open the door. "Kider!" She walked right into the rain and threw her arms around his waist. He began to walk inside trying to get her out of the rain. Her wet hair ran down her back but her hundred watt smile was still in place.

"Who are you?" Helens worried voice sounded.

"Sorry. I'm Kider." He walked over to her and shook her hand not even bothering to dislodge the child from his body.

"And you are?" She raised a questioning brow.

"We met once in the parking lot." He gave her his most charming smile and the woman almost feinted.

"Oh you're the one who saved my Ryan.' she pulled Ryan into her and she wrapped her legs around her waist.

"Yeah."

"And how do you two know each other." She directed the question at her daughter.

"I came to visit her at the hospital actually." Kider put in.

"Ah that was so... sweet of you." Kider shrugged looking only at Ryan who's blue eyes were glinting with childish mischief. "So can I ask why you're here?"

"I heard she needed a baby sitter and I need some money so I thought it was a win win situation." He smiled again.

"Well I'll just have to see what she says." She looked at the girl in her arms. Ryan nodded enthusisatcly. "Alright looks like you got the job." she smiled placed Ryan on the floor and began packing herself up to get to work.

"Um... Miss I can only watch her at night I have work till six and sometimes eight." Kider said firmly.

"I don't leave for work until five so I can leave her with the neighbors for and hour so she can play with Timmy." She said calucutlating in her head. Ryan nodded smiling thinking how much fun her life would be from now on. "Alright Ryan be good for Kider. I know you will but being your mother I'm supposed to say that." She smiled kissing her daughter on the forehead before running out the door and starting up her car.

As soon as she was gone Ryan stared expectantly up at Kider.

"What?" His signature expression on his face.

"So... What are we going to do now?"
