The Nanny

Chapter 8

After some delicious milkshakes and burgers Veronica finally walks into her new home. The kids are very excited, especially Ella.
Let me show you your room!" she squeals. She grabs Veronica's hand and pulls her upstairs to the guest room which is now Veronica's. There is a bed in the middle and a big tv on the wall. There is dresser and a desk which she will definitely use as a dressing table. "Isn't it a pretty room?"

"It's very pretty thank you"

"I drew a picture for you it's in my room. You can hang it on your wall if you like"

"I'd love to. Can you show me your room?" Veronica smiles as she places her purse onto the bed.

Ella nods excitedly. She takes Veronica's hand back into hers and wants to pulls her out of her room but when she opens the door Archie stands in front of them with a couple of boxes in his hands. Ella jumps to the side causing Veronica to trip and fall into Archie arms. He lets go of the boxes. They fall to the ground but at least he saved Veronica from falling. He has his hands on her waist. She hides her face in his chest and holds on to his shirt. Her eyes are shut. When she recognizes she's not moving she slowly opens her eyes and pulls away. "You good?" Archie asks.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks"

His hands drop to the side. "Ella honey you need to be a little more careful. How many times did I tell you no running in the house?"

"Sorry Daddy"

"It's okay. Just don't do it again"

"Okay. Can I show Ronnie my room now?"

"Sure" he smiles as he picks up the boxes.

"Don't worry about dropping them. I only have clothes in these" Veronica giggles.

"Good. I was scared for a second" he says with his cheeks blushing in embarrassment but before he or Veronica can say something else Ella grabs her hand again and pulls her towards a room with a big princess poster and her name on the door.

Veronica eyes widen when she sees the beautiful room. It looks like every little girl's dream. She has big bed, beautifully painted walls and a lot of toys. She has a little ball pit with pink, white and grey balls and a slide right next to it. In the middle of the room lies a huge white, fluffy rug.

"Wow, you have such a beautiful room. Does Benny's look so cool too?"

"Yeah but he has a boy's room. Mine is prettier" she says as she walks over to a little table with sheets of paper and coloring pens all over it. She grabs one of the papers and hands it to Veronica. "Here, this is for you. I drew a rainbow and a sun and a lot of flowers. Do you like it?"

"It's beautiful Ella, thank you so much. I will definitely hang this on one of my walls"

Ella giggles and claps her hands. "Thanks"

Veronica turns when she can hear someone else walk into the room.

"No Benny, out!"  Ella screams "this is a no boys zone!"

"Hey don't be so mean" Veronica giggles. She runs her fingers through Ella's hair but looks at the little boy. He takes a step back and is now technically not in his sister's room anymore. "Why is Daddy allowed to come in here then? He's a boy too" he asks madly.

"Because he's daddy! Duh" Ella answers. She rolls her eyes and turns away from her brother.

"Then you're not allowed in my room either anymore! No girls! Except for Ronnie!" He screams. He turns away and stomps his little feet on the ground.
