Chapter 15

The next morning, Cassidy was up bright and early to fix dinner for Tyler, who had to be to work, leaving Cassidy alone with Terlyn. Kissing Cassidy and Terlyn good bye, Tyler left the house in good spirits. Life was good since their daughter was born, especially since it looked like they were finally free of Daniela. In fact, last they heard, Daniela was in a mental institution.

Back home, Cassidy was tending to a fussy Terlyn when the door bell rang.

"Darn! Who could that be?" Cassidy said, nearly forgetting she had an interview for a potential nanny for Terlyn.

Cassidy picked up Terlyn as she answered the door to a pretty 30-something lady standing on her door step.

"Can I help you?" Cassidy asked the woman.

"I'm Jane Cummings, you called me to interview for the nanny position?"

"Ms. Cummings, I'm so sorry. it's been a hectic morning." Cassidy apologized.

"It's quite all right. I guess that's why you need a nanny?"

"Yes. I am going back to work part time. Please, come in...have a seat and I'll get us some tea and cookies." Cassidy motioned to Jane as she put Terlyn in her swing.

As Cassidy headed into the kitchen for refreshments, Terlyn began crying for her mother.

"Oh, it's okay baby girl." Jane said softly, soothing Terlyn's cries, as Cassidy came out to witness the interaction.

"What are you doing with my daughter?" Cassidy said, worried for some odd reason but couldn't put her finger on it.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Your daughter was crying and I was just trying to quiet her." Jane said. "I didn't mean to overstep my bounds."

"No, I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from." Cassidy apologized again.

"It's okay."

"Shall we sit and discuss the nanny position?" Cassidy said, as Jane took a seat in a chair while Cassidy set the tea and cookies on the coffee table and sat on the davenport.

The interview went well as Jane gave all the right answers that Cassidy wanted to hear, as well as excellent credentials that Cassidy called about before the interview. The interview went so well compared to the last few interviews, Cassidy was ready to give Jane her decision about whether she was hiring her as Terlyn's nanny.

"Well, I think you're exactly what I'm looking for as my daughter's nanny, if you'd like to accept the position?" Cassidy said, offering Jane the position.

"That's great, Ms. Jenkins. I'd be honored to accept the position."

"Great! The position is live-in, so if you'd like, I can show you to your room you'll be staying in?"

"Show me the way!" Jane said enthusiastically.

As Cassidy showed Jane her room, Jane took mental notes of the room she'd be sleeping in before Cassidy showed Jane Terlyn's nursery.

"Wow! The nursery is really awesome!" Jane said, at the unicorn-themed nursery that was Terlyn's room. "I would've never thought to use unicorns."

"Unicorns are my favorite and wanted my daughter's nursery to every girl's dream." Cassidy said.

"Well, it's lovely." Jane said. "So when do you want me to move in?"

"As soon as possible."

"Great. I'll go home and pack and be here in the morning?"

"That'd be good." Cassidy said as she picked up Terlyn on their way down stairs before showing Jane the way out.

As Jane got into the car, she took off the wig as she smiled slyly into the rear view mirror, "Great! Cassidy didn't suspect who I was! Still trusting as ever!"

Then Jane/Daniela drove off to her motel and packed her things so she move in and start her job as Cassidy Jenkins nanny to her daughter. But first, Daniela had to take care of one thing before she headed over to Cassidy's.
