You Light Up My Life (E. Buckley)

Everything

Interviews with babysitters and working around the clock to make sure the twins have everything they need.

Right now I'm holding Vanessa in my arms bottle feeding her, Alejandro was asleep on the couch next to me. Buck walked in and came up to us, "You nervous?" He asked.

I shook my head lightly, "nope, kind of.. not really.."

He gave me a look

"Fine I am! Only because it's so hard leaving them for the first time, they've taken over our lives in the best way.." i looked up at him. "Don't tell me you dont feel the same way Evan."

He bit his lip, "I do, but I know we can get through it. We're gonna have to eventually."

Vanessa began to cry, "I've got her" Buck said taking his daughter into his arms and carrying her to the nursery. I looked at Alejandro, he looked as if he were dreaming. I can't help but feel so emotional knowing they will never be this little again.

"What would make you the perfect babysitter for the twins?" I asked

The 60 year old woman answered, "I have a wide variety of reasons, for one, I make sure to include plenty of discipline to avoid unpleasant behavior.." she spoke with a voice with gradual suspense.

Buck and I were practically frozen in our seats.. "Uh.." he trailed

I chuckled nervously "N-next!"

Moving on

"What makes you think you can handle both babies at once?" Buck asked, the blonde girl twirled her hair in her finger, "Well, I did a lot of after-school stuff before in highschool, so I did plenty, and plenty," her voice got quiter, "of multi-tasking " she said with a wink and sly smile at my husband.

I slammed my hands on the table ready to charge at her before Buck held me down, "Next!"

Moving on again

"Okay, if you're still in school how would your schedule go about?" I asked. The brown haired teenage boy rubbed his head and looked down, it was obvious he was texting,"uh.. I mean whenever you guys say I guess.."

Buck and I shared a look before dismissing the guy who carelessly walked out. I buried my face in my hands in tiredness before feeling a strong but gentle hand on my shoulder.

"Hey, don't worry sweetheart, we'll find someone. And I promise you I never would've hired that girl either." Buck said in a tone of disgust.

I rested my chin on my arms like a sad puppy, "whose next?" I sigh, Buck looked down at the paper, "Camila Silva, she also happens to be the last one."

"Okay" i breathed as I got back up thinking to myself over and over again, 'please be a good match'

Before I knew it a young woman around my height walked in through the door, she had short curly hair and wore round glasses, dark blue jeans a black tee

I don't know if i was desperate but my maternal insticts told me, she was perfect..

She was so impressive with her experience and references, she came off as so gentle but at the same time I could tell it wouldn't be long before we became close enough.

"So you're experienced in babysitting back in highschool, worked in a daycare center before moving here, graduated with top honors." Buck said reviewing the notes we took.

I couldn't help but admire this girl more and more, "and you've sure made a good impression on us."

Buck and I gave eachother an agreeing look before deciding, "We'd love to work with you." I said with a smile
