Chapter Text
Gracie is normally the one to work from home, but she can never get any work done because of the constant demand of the children, so her wife Olivia allowed them to hire a nanny, named Lucy.
Noah age six, adores Lucy, Ivy age three, not so much she rather have her Mommie's.
"Noah, Ivy, Naptime!" Lucy calls to the children.
"I am just getting to level 3!" Noah whines, continuing to play.
"Pause it, and get ready for nap, or just lay quietly" she tries again.
"You can't pause it! I can be quiet playing the game!"
Ivy walks to Lucy, "juice" pointing at her cup.
"Juice after nap" picking Ivy up.
" Now! Juice!" Throwing a tantrum in Lucy's arms.
Lucy is very patient with these two, she's known them all their lives and adores them, but they're slightly a bit tougher to handle lately.
She decided to put the three year old in her crib since it's an option.
That turns into a pure scream fest to the point the neighbors call Olivia at work.
Lucy shuts the door when her 8th attempt to read a book to ivy make things worse.
"Noah, come nap, now please."
"I'm too big for naps!" Playing his game, not once giving a glance over.
"Then have quiet time; I did what you wanted to do, please do what I'm asking you to do"
"I'm winning my... Hey!" As the game is now a black screen.
"Mrs. Benson, I ... " She is stopped.
"Noah, that corner, nose in it!" She says removing her overcoat.
She watches Noah place his nose into the corner.
She walks to her dear daughters room, she is instantly laying down, she's lifted up from the crib, "your behavior was naughty, time out chair, right there." Sitting her in it.
She walks to her bedroom, Lucy is trembling, "Why didn't you call me, or Olivia for that matter?" Gracie asks the young lady.
"I didn't want to be fired"
"Fired, why would we fire you?"
"Because the kids .. " actually she doesn't have a answer she's just annoyed and tired.
"You're okay, I'm home now, next time either call us, dish out punishments, or whatever you feel needs to be done." Hugging her tightly.
.....
... 15 minutes later...
Lucy is gone, Noah is still in corner, so is Ivy.
Gracie has switched out her workwear for semi casual housewear, and is mentally timing the time outs, she's thrilled to see Ivy is sleeping and places her in the toddler bed.
Liv enters the apartment, "Hey, I was called by the neighbors".. kissing her wife.
"Yeah, I was called by management" ..."Ivy fell asleep during her time out". Gracie shrugs.
"Lucy?"
"She sent her home cause she's mean!!" Noah blurts turning from the corner.
"Noah! Come here, now!" Olivia's brows are furrowed.
"Sorry Mom" not wanting to be within arms reach.
"Do you want to have a chat, young man?" Olivia asks him firmly.
"No, Ma'am" holding his bottom.
"Ready to finish quiet time?"
He runs to his room.
.....
Gracie picks up the mess in the living room, while Liv changes clothes.
"Gracie, do not allow your head to roam" Liv says upon entering the living room with a glass of wine.
"Liv he hates me this week, he hates sharing Lucy with Ivy, I get it I was extremely selfish, I wanted to be pregnant, with something of ours." ... Swallowing hard... "I never thought about what it would make him feel like, but I'm pretty sure it makes him feel like he's not good enough, but that's far from the truth, he actually gave me hope that I could be a good parent."
"We live and we learn, he doesn't hate you, he's a kid, he hated me last night because I told him no spaghetti, and let's not forget last month when he had to do spelling words" Olivia says laughing.
Gracie kisses her wife and exhales in her arms.
"No more kids?" Olivia chuckles.
"No more kids.... Not even pets." Gracie laughs
"Aww but you make a sexy little husky" kissing her neck.
"Are you going to spank Lucy?"
"Nah, not this time, I'm going to let her slide, but she will get lectured" Olivia admits.
"She'll be begging for a beating after that" laughing hysterically..." Ow!... Sorry Mommy" kissing Liv fully.
