Baby sitter part 1.

Ellie’s maternity is up in 3 weeks and she has no choice to go back to work. Her and George scroll through the internet trying to find a baby sitter. They come across a web page full of 16-18 year old female and male baby sitters. 1 caught their eye immediately, that was Cassies profile. They read a bit about her and her interests. Then George noticed she was highly rated by 40+ people. They read the comments and were extremely pleased with what they saw.

George says “she seems great. Should we give her a call and see when she can come over for a chat?” “Yeah, why not.” Says Ellie.

“Hello. This is Cassie, please leave your name, phone number and I will call you as soon as I can. Thanks.”

“Hi Cassie. Myself and my husband George come across your baby sitting profile online. We would like to ask you to come over so we can have a chat and get to know you. Would you be interested?.” Says Ellie.

“Hello. Omg, yes. That sounds amazing. When would you like me to come over?” Says Cassie.

“Tomorrow evening at 6pm. Is that ok?” Says Ellie.

“That’s fine. I’ll see you tomorrow. Sorry I didn’t catch your name.” Says Cassie.

“Ellie or Mrs Smith. Whichever is fine. See you tomorrow, bye.” Says Ellie.

“Ok Mrs Smith. Bye.” Says Cassie

I tell George how she sounds like a lovely girl and how well mannered she was.

“I hope she likes us.” Ellie Says.

“She’s going to love us, especially Dylan.” He says.

“I hope so. I really need to go back to work.” She says

“Come her big man. Give me a hug. Daddies been at work all day and I’ve missed you!”

Dylan stands up and walks over to George holding his arms out. Giggling and smiling at his dad.

“It’s time for your bedtime soon. Shall we go and bath you and then mummy can get you to sleep?”

Dylan shakes his head no.

“Yeah, come on.” Says George. And with that he takes him upstairs and runs him a bath.

She pours herself a large glass of red wine and sits down on the sofa with a magazine. She takes a sip of her wine and hears “𝐀𝐡𝐡𝐡”. Nearly spilling her wine on the floor she rushes to put it down and runs upstairs to the bathroom. George is sat on the floor with a large piece of glass in his leg. “Omg. How did that happen? We have to get you to hospital!” “Where’s Reggie?” She says.

“He threw a bottle of your shampoo at the shower door and ran off. I was getting out of the bath to go after him and that large piece of glass fell down onto me.”

She wraps his leg up in a towel and helps him up. Goes looking for Dylan and gets them both in the car. Driving to the hospital she asks him if he’s ok and he says “no love. I’m not ok. I have a piece of glassing sticking out of my leg and I need to get it removed.” “What if I can’t work now?” “Then we’ll have a baby sitter anyway. So don’t worry.”

They arrive at the hospital 5 minutes later. We explain what happened and he gets rushed straight through to be seen.

Ellie waits anxiously for George in the waiting room. 35 minutes later he comes back through with crutches, a huge bandage and 30 internal and external stitches.

“Are you ok hun?” She says.

“Actually yeah, I am but that’s only because I’ve had morphine. I’m not allowed to work for 4 months. My leg has to heal fully before I can go back.” He says.

“It’s ok. We’ll work it out. Now let’s go home” She says.

They arrive home and take Dylan straight up to bed. She helps George into bed and then jumps in the shower. Puts her pyjamas on and climbs into bed. Gives George a kiss goodnight but he’s already fast asleep.

Part 2 won’t go up for 3 days. Bare with me 🙂
