Oti could hear a loud wail coming from the other room and was instantly on high alert. Currently it was just her, Dianne, Amy, Karen and Janette in the house. She could see that the latter duo were still napping together on the couch, Karen had been quite cranky all day so Janette had suggested they had a nap. It seemed like Janette was exhausted too but Oti wasn't surprised since Janette did so much to keep their household going.
Dianne was happily watching tv, munching on some apple slices placed in a pretty rainbow coloured bowl in front of her so that just left Amy. Not wanting the noise to stir Karen & Janette awake, and deciding that Dianne was safe to be unsupervised for a few moments, Oti slipped off towards the bedroom where she knew Amy had been sat. She entered, huge brown eyes immediately looking up at her sadly.
Oti sighed softly, she still didn't have much experience but she finally allowed herself to try she had found a role as the babysitter. She would look after the little ones when their parents either were busy or needed a break and the others quite clearly appreciated her help. She liked it too as she got to spend more time with everyone. Perhaps in the future she might consider having her own kids but for now she was happy in her role and as she scooped up Amy from the floor, holding the girl close as she rocked her gently she felt a sense of calm.
Oti carried Amy back into the living room, she smiled as Dianne looked up from the tv with delight and clapped her hands together, scrambling up to run over to them.
"Auntie! Auntie!" She grinned happily, letting Oti pull her into a side hug.
"Hi baby, are you enjoying your show?" Oti asked and Dianne nodded happily.
