Thread: Nanny Dearest (Ava & SinfullySweet)

The easiness with Gabriella gave Sarah some much needed room to breath and she was glad that her request for Hannah to be taken to school and picked up had been so well received. Of course she was also glad for the reminder about her schedule, as she headed of the door she made a mental not to do that immediately when she arrived at work. The mother found herself a bit nervous though, as much as she believed Hannah and Gabriella would get along and nothing would go wrong, she just couldn't calm herself down completely, she never could when she found herself with a new nanny. Gabriella was a slight exception, the worry wasn't as much as it usually was, Sarah was fairly certain she was going to be their new, and first real, long-term nanny. Her mind couldn't afford to be focused on that, so as she drove her way to work she turned on some music and tried to let her nerves calm down, a task easier said than done. She always worried about her daughter, the girl was everything to her and trying to relax, even on a regular day was difficult enough. It mattered not though, she soon arrived at work and once inside the building she had no choice but to tone down the mother side of her and crank up the doctor part. It wasn't long before she had changed and headed out, only going off track once to get the schedule. Her day went on in a very tiresome fashion, she had rounds to begin with and residents to lecture, then a few sick patients that needed some extra looking after, choosing to do it herself as opposed to pushing them off onto some resident. Midday was full of surgeries as opposed to beside visits, a couple easy procedures and one rather difficult but it all went well. The day had been long though and she hadn't even been able to take a lunch break, snacking whenever she could and doing her best to keep going, the breakfast actually helping her get through the day. The hard truth was her job didn't stay good, not everything went as planned, and before the day ended she had her fair share of troubles as well, the main of which being one dead patient, a gunshot victim who had been rushed into the ER. It wasn't unusual for such a thing to happen, and while it was never enjoyable to inform someone of the death of a loved one, it was unavoidable, something she had to do on occasion. It sullied the rest of her day, after that she droned through the last few hours with a few more patient visits and a consultation and then it was over, her long day finally coming to an end. It didn't help that she had few friends in the hospital, sure acquaintances but only two friends and even then they were only close due their residency. It gave the mother and doctor nobody to share the difficulties with. Leaving the hospital was a welcomed move, after putting her coat back in her locker and grabbing her bag she left, double checking to ensure she brought the schedule home with her. As she drove towards her house she cheered up a bit, seeing her daughter always doing that and it would only be a few minutes before she arrived back at the house. It didn't hurt knowing Gabriella would be waiting either, the comfort that came with having a nanny, especially a good one, definitely helped her feel at ease and able to shed off some of the days stress. It wasn't until she pulled in the driveway that she really felt her spirits lift, sliding out of the car with her stuff in hand. Hannah was already home of course and as Sarah reached the door she could see her daughter sitting on the couch with the nook in hand. As soon as the door opened her attention was ripped away, the usually absorbed girl smiling and hopping out of her seat, sitting the nook down and running over to hug Sarah. Sarah leaned down and wrapped her arms around the precious girl, a small smile touching her lips as she held her daughter close, I'm home. She said softly, only releasing her as she was released. Hannah went back to her book after that but she was excited to have her mother back home and she was always like that. The young girl liked giving her mother some time to unwind before they spoke or did anything though and typically read until Sarah said something or she had something relatively important to say. It gave Sarah a chance to go into the kitchen and post the schedule, picking out a good spot and using magnets to hold up her work schedule. The rest of the week wasn't bad, she worked from eight to five the next two days, Thursday and Friday, but she was off Saturday and Sunday. The next week she had to work later hours, switching from the eight to five schedule to a noon til nine. Sarah hated working so late, Hannah was usually half-asleep when she got home and they didn't have time to do anything. The only good news was that Sarah wouldn't have to wake up and take Hannah to school if she was tired, the hours being bad but with a reliable nanny she could make her adjustments without messing up Hannah's. Obviously it was rather disappointing to miss out on time with her daughter but she usually got decent amounts of time off when she worked those types of hours, proof from her weekend freedom. Gabriella, the schedule is up on the fridge. She raised her voice just enough to be heard wherever Gabriella was before going over and inspecting the cooking meat in the slow-cooker, taking a deep whiff of the delicious looking meat, Something smells good by the way. She spoke out again,
