The Billion Dollar Daddy!

Chapter Nine

  Donovan got home as soon as he could to see just what it was Quinn was up to around his place. He knew that Quinn greatly upset Sawyer. He felt badly about it. He had to make amends and get Sawyer to come back to him and Evan. Quinn would have to leave. That was final. He made his way home. Sawyer was not returning his phone calls, which upset him more.

When Donovan got home to his surprise he found Quinn sitting on the couch wearing a sexy expensive dress holding his son. Feeding him. Donovan did not think Quinn was the mothering type. Or why Quinn decided to be the mothering type with his son.

"Does this thing ever stop crying?" Quinn questions him as he comes in. He sets down his brief case on the floor beside the couch.

"No not much" chuckles Donovan. "Look at you. Feeding him like a pro"

"He is sort of cute when he is not puking or pooping on me" laughs Quinn.

"Why are you here exactly Quinn?" he asks her.

"I came to be your nanny. Well I thought about it. I want to be more than your nanny. I want to be your wife. I could be the mommy. You can be the daddy. Let's play house" Quinn coos at him.

"Marry? Oh I am not even ready for marriage yet Quinn" he laughs feeling nerves hit him. So this was what this nannying was all about. She thought she could get him to marry her. Trap him sort of thing.

"But you need a mother for this child" she protests.

"I might. One day. But right now we are fine on our own. Quinn, I know you mean well but I am not the marrying kind, you have always known that about me. You always said you are not the marrying kind either right?" he reminds her.

"No. Not really. I do not think I could handle not getting any sleep" sighs Quinn as she feeds his son.

"It is a nice thought Quinn. Really. I know you meant well. But we fight all the time. It would never work. That is why you always leave. Then you come back. We make up we break up" he jokes with her as he sits beside her.

"Making up is the fun part" she remarks with a smile.

"Always" he jokes.

"I made a mess of things by firing your nanny then" she jokes.

"I will get her to come back. No worries" he tells her.

"Pour on that charm you will" she laughs. She hands his son over to him.

"I am going to stay the night then I may head back to Paris" she remarks.

"Sounds good. Send all my love to everyone" he says to her.

"I will. I need a good shower after baby-sitting today" she laughs.

"By all means go ahead" he tells her. She nods. She heads upstairs to shower off. He greets his son.

"Well what have you been up to? Huh little fella?" asks Donovan as he hugs Evan. Evan reaches up and touches his cheek. He grins. He grabs his phone to call Sawyer again. She had to come back.

"Let's get Miss. Carter to come back to us huh kiddo?" Donovan asks his son as he calls Sawyer. He holds Evan in one arm then the phone up to his ear. Her phone goes right to voicemail. She was one stubborn lady. He would go up to her apartment in person and win her back if he had to do so. He would.

"Come on Sawyer. Call me back will you?" he grumbles feeling frustrated. He gives up for now. He plays the news on his tv while Evan falls asleep in his arms.

"There was a massive fire downtown at the Birdsong Apartment Complex. Many find themselves to be homeless tonight. The police are working on the sight alongside the fire fighters to get the flames down. In the meantime residence here will be spending the night at the local YMCA until the place is fixed up. It will take months to fix all the damaged to this place....no one is sure what caused the fire just yet...." the lady on the news reported. As she did Donovan spots her!

"SAWYER! SHELLY!" he gasps with worry. There was Sawyer holding Shelly close to her. They were in that fire! But they made it out alright. Thank god!

He had to help get the apartment building fixed up. No way was he going to allow Sawyer and Shelly to live in a place like the YMCA. It was heart breaking.

"QUINN!" calls out Donovan. "QUINN" he yells.

"Yes what is going on?" asks Quinn. She comes down after having her shower. Her hair wrapped up in a towel on her head.

"Can you stay with Evan for a bit? My friend is in trouble deep. I have to help them" he begs her.

"Sounds important" Quinn remarks.

"It is. My friends almost died in a fire downtown" he explains.

"Of course I will stay here with Evan" she promises. He hands Evan over to her.

"I will be back as soon as I can. I will call you when I know more" he tells her. He takes off as fast as he could downtown to the apartments. Once he got there all that remained there was the fire fighters and the police man. Some lady stayed there wearing a hot pink bathrobe. He did not see Shelly or Sawyer at all.

"Hey what is going on now?" Donovan demands to the lady in the pink bathrobe.

"The building is being condemned is what is going on" sighs the lady.

"Who are you?" he demands to know.

"I am the owner. My name is Mrs. Vincent" she says to him.

"What started the fire?" he asks as he looks at how bad things were.

"Not sure yet" she sighs.

"I want to help" he tells her.

"Excuse me?" she asks looking confused.

"My friend lives here. I want to help make the repairs. Whatever the cost of this place, I will provide it. Everyone will get their home back" he replies.

"Who are you anyway? Daddy Warbucks?" she jokes.

"Kind of. My name is Donovan Spencer. Of Spencer Enterprises'" he explains as he hands her his business card.

"Wow, I have heard of your family Mr. Spencer. Your family makes computer software?" she asks. He nods.

"Yes" he says.

"Well who ever your friends with in my little building is sure lucky to have you" says Mrs. Vincent.

"After tonight she does not seem to think so. She will not return my calls. I am worried about her. And her daughter. I just want to know if they are alright" he worries.

"What is her name? I know about everyone in my building" she says.

"Her name is Sawyer Carter. She has a daughter names Shelly. Sawyer was or is my nanny for my son" says Donovan.

"Sawyer! Yes I know her. She is a very sweet little girl. She sure has seen some hard times. Times are getting even harder now for her" sighs Mrs. Vincent.

"Can you tell me where Sawyer and Shelly went to? I want to find them" begs Donovan hopefully. He had to find them. He was going to bring them home. Sawyer was going to live with him until she had the funds to move out on her own. He wanted to help her.

"The police took them to the local YMCA to check in for the night. They are down at the center with the others for the night" explains Mrs. Vincent.

"We will be in touch about getting this place back up again alright?" asks Donovan.

"Aright. Sounds wonderful to have a knight in shining armor around here" chuckles Mrs. Vincent.

"I have to go. We will be in touch" promises Donovan as he leaves the scene.

He looks back at the burnt building. He was thankful that Shelly and Sawyer made it out of there safely. Things could have been so much worse for them! He did not even want to think of what could have happened. He was going to bring them home.
