The Billion Dollar Nanny!

  Sawyer could not believe she was packing for a trip to Paris. It did not seem real to her at all. She had little clothing to go to Paris after the fire at her apartment. Now she was sure to look shabby there around Donovan's friends. Maybe she could stop by a discount store and purchase a few new outfits for herself and Shelly. "Where is Paris at?" questions Shelly as she comes bursting in Sawyer's bedroom. She leaps in the middle of her bed. Getting all over Sawyer's clothing. "Paris is overseas. It is going to be a very long flight. I want you to behave. And I also want you to listen to Mr. Spencer on this trip. He is going to find his little brother. So you will have to keep out of his way. And help me with Evan" demands Sawyer. "Okay mommy. Are we having my birthday party in Paris? Will Nana come out there?" wonders Shelly. Sawyer groans. She completely forgot with so much going on to the fire to Paris that Shelly's fifth birthday was going to be coming up! The month was going by so fast for her! "Shelly! Yes, we will do something special in Paris. Not sure if Nana will be there. But when we come back home we can celebrate with her" promises Sawyer. Sawyer would have to call her mother and tell her the big news about them flying off to Paris. "Why can't Nana come to? She always comes to my birthdays" grumbles Shelly. "Because Mr. Spencer is not going to pay for the whole family to go to Paris. Just us" sighs Sawyer. "This will be my first party not being with Nana" complains Shelly. "Call Nana right now if you want to" Sawyer demands as she hands Shelly her cell phone. "YAY!" says Shelly. Sawyer helps her call her mother. "Hello there Sawyer! How are you?" her mother answers. "Shelly wants to talk to you about her birthday" Sawyer begins to say. "I wondered if you were going to remember her birthday" her mother remarks snidely. "I always remember it mother. Here is Shelly" sighs Sawyer. It was no love loss between herself and her mother. Her mother was disappointed that Sawyer did not marry her ex when she found she was having Shelly. Her mother always thought that Sawyer could do better. No way was Sawyer ever going to be her mother's hand out. And let her help them. "Nana! We are going to Paris! Mr. Spencer is going to find his brother so we are going for my birthday to!" brags Shelly. "Okay Nana. You can talk to momma she is right here" Shelly hands the phone over to Sawyer. "Mother" replies Sawyer. "What is this I hear you are taking my baby girl all the way across the seas for her birthday? Why are you going to Paris?" wonders her mother. "My boss has to go to Paris" says Sawyer. "Who exactly is your boss now Sawyer" chuckles her mother. "My BOSS is Mr. Donovan Spencer" Sawyer says with pride. "Of Spencer Enterprises'? You are kidding me right?" laughs her mother. Sawyer's cheeks grow red. Like it was so impossible for her to get a job with Donovan! "Yes mother with Spencer Enterprises" snaps Sawyer. "What do you have a job doing for that fine family?" laughs her mother. "I am his nanny" Sawyer mentions. "A nanny? Half the time you forget your own daughter's birthday. Let alone be a nanny!" chuckles her mother. "Well I have been his nanny for a whole month now. Will be at the end of the month. I was just calling to tell you that we will celebrate Shelly's birthday later when we come back from Paris. If we come back" Sawyer snaps at her mother. "I am sorry dear. I am happy for you. I hope this works out well for you. You could have been a house wife and been at home and not have to be anyone's nanny. But you are far too stubborn for that" laughs her mother. She had enough of her mother's talk about now. "I have to go mother. I have to pack for Paris" snaps Sawyer. "Hold on! You must need something to wear for Paris. You can't send Shelly over there wearing knock offs from Wally World" snickers her mother. "We will manage just fine mother" she replies before hanging up on her. She had enough of that horrid woman.   ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥  "How is the packing going?" Donovan asks as he knocks on her bedroom door before coming in. "Trying to pack. We don't have a lot to pack after the fire" sighs Sawyer. "You know your first pay check will be here. And we all have to go get passports. Well I have mine. I do need a new photo for it. So we could all go together. Do a little shopping?" offers Donovan. "I am not allowing my boss to pay for a new wardrobe for me" laughs Sawyer. "My birthday is next Monday! We will be in Paris then!" pipes up Shelly. "It is now? The birthday fairy happened to stop by my place last night while you were sleeping. I wondered why they came here" Donovan says with a twinkle in his eyes. Sawyer shakes her head and smiles. He reaches in his pants getting out his wallet. "THEY DID!" exclaims Shelly happily. Donovan nods. "They left me this money to give to you! So you can get new cloths for going to Paris" Donovan tells her as hands her money. "One hundred dollars?" gasps Shelly. Her eyes grow wide. Sawyer grabs the money from her daughter. "Oh no. Too much Donovan. We can NOT accept this" Sawyer demands as she hands the cash back. Shelly groans. "Mom!" Shelly whines. "NO" says Sawyer sternly. "Come on. Let me help out" Donovan begs her. "Considerate an early raise" "The normal raise might be fifteen cents to twenty five per hour Mr. Spencer. Not a hundred" laughs Sawyer. "Please? I just want to help. Let me" he begs her. He hands her the money back and places it in her hands. "On one condition" she demands. "Anything" he vows. "Let me work for this? I will do extra things around here. And on the trip. I will not be a charity case alright?" she demands. "Deal" says Donovan. "Thank you for being so very sweet to us. It is not that I am not grateful for all you have done. I am trying to make it on my own. I am just not doing a really good job of it" sighs Sawyer. "I think you are doing just fine so far" he says softly. He smiles her way. She smiles back. "What are we going to do for my birthday over in Paris?" wonders Shelly as Donovan picks her up in his arms. "We can go see the Paris tower. Everyone wants to see it" he tells her. "Okay" says Shelly. "The food is to die for. I have to eat out at least once there" says Sawyer. "You shall" says Donovan. "What is this about your brother being there?" Sawyer asks him. "We are trying to track down my little brother. He was last checked in there. I hope to find him when we are over there" explains Donovan. "I hope you can catch him" says Sawyer. "Me to" worries Donovan. "I will help out with Evan. Whenever you need me" promises Sawyer. "I am going to need all the help I can get" sighs Donovan. Sawyer smiles sadly placing her hand on his arm lightly before pulling away shyly. She hoped everything would work out on this trip. That Shelly would enjoy her birthday. And that his brother would be coming back home with them. •♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•♥•
