    Author Notes:

    Unbeknownst to Bette, Tina’s search for a nanny continues… with a little help from a friend.

    She cleared her throat. “Thanks for coming by, Helena. I think I’ve got it from here.”

    Helena gathered her things and placed an understanding hand on Tina’s shoulder. “Alright, love. I’ll give you a call later?”

    Tina nodded silently.

    “I’ll see myself out,” Helena said with the first tact she had displayed all afternoon.

    Tina waited until she heard the door close before covering her face with her hands. She waited for the tears to come, but her eyes stayed dry. After a few minutes, she picked up the tea tray and took it into the kitchen, mechanically brewing a fresh pot and taking down new cups for the next interview.

     

                                                                        ***

     

    “So, Kelly. Tell me why you want this job?”

    Tina put on her best “I’m listening face” and tried to focus on what the girl sitting across from her was saying. It wasn’t anything she hadn’t heard before. Kelly liked kids and liked having the opportunity to shape their lives in a small, but positive way or some such platitudinous tripe. Tina was tired of interviewing and she was glad this was the last of the day. Before Kelly had come, Tina had met and quickly dispensed with another potential employee. He had been a nice enough guy, but Tina knew Bette wouldn’t like him. He was far too conservative, and he told Tina flat out that he wouldn’t be able to work Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings because of church obligations. Tina had kept it brief, thankful that he had made her search at least somewhat easier. She told him she was looking for someone with more availability and thanked him for his time.

    Kelly, the girl she was pretending to listen to now, was much more in line with Tina’s vision for a nanny. She was young, energetic, experienced and highly recommended by her agency and former employers. Being a very natural type, she had an aura of well-being about her that Tina was instantly drawn to. Tina liked her and stifled a giggle as she thought, vaguely, that Kelly bore more than a passing resemblance to Peppermint Patty from the Peanuts comic strip.

    “…and that’s why I’d like the job.” Kelly finished, smiling broadly.

    5. So happy tht Tina finally talked with Bette as she should have done ages ago regarding the nanny. I wonder if Bette is really just afraid that someone might not be good to the children or did she have a bad experience with a nanny as a child? Interesting. But at least they have come to an understanding of it and know they can not do it all, it’s impossible. It’s not like they can not afford to hire a nanny. Another thing that bothers me about this pregnancy is tht Tina is “tired” so early in this pregnancy. Are vitamins in order or something else that keeps her energy up, pray that nothing is wrong with her already. She needs to see the doctor for that rundown feeling. Great chapter. PPS

    6. It’s like Hels was channeling Alice and Jenny both while she “helped” Tina during that interview, but the f-me pumps… that’s all Helena. As for Tina… girl, you’ve gotta learn to give Bette a chance to screw up first, she might surprise you by not doing it! Love the story, more soon, please! Thanks

    9. I am glad that Tina saw what she was doing even though it did take a disagreement to get the point across. And Bette is being a responsible parent in wanting the best for her children now she just needs to find a way to get that while allowing someone to help them. So glad that the girls made up and ended the day in a OH SO HAPPY way. :)

    10. I loved the beginning (the morning in the shower) and the end (bedtime). The middle was funny but scary at the same time. Helena sure knows how to scare someone. I loved how Mrs. E stood up to her.

    11. I thought that was a charming chapter and I’m still laughing at Helena’s interviewing techniques. “Are you attracted to Tina, Ms. Epstein?” But I’m glad Tina moved forward in getting some help…however misguided her efforts. Trying to do everything can really wreck a relationship.
