Sorscha?

Sorscha's pov:

"I mean it's all finalized now. I just have to tell Marjorie and the rest of the staff, it's going to be hard to leave, you know?" I talk to the one and only person who knows what's happening, Charlotte, all the babies are napping so we are just chatting.

"Well I'm going to miss you. Remind me sorry, why are you moving again?" She asks me.

"My parents want to be close to Quinn but for them to be moving at this point isn't ethical, Quinn isn't settled anywhere, plus the jobs Clodagh and I found are pretty good, so you know, it was easier for us to move back there." Charlotte nods to show she is listening, "I think once Ria goes home, you'll be in ratio so do you mind if I nip into the office and talk to Marjorie and Autumn?"

"Not at all! Thats at 3, right?" I nod in agreement. We hear one of the babies wake up. Charlotte goes and tries to comfort hims back asleep. It's only 1:30. Most babies sleep until 2pm.

I started to feel extremely anxious with Charlotte in the sleep room. Am I really doing this? I'm seriously going to move back to Ireland? I built my life here but my parents are getting a bit too old to travel as much as they are to see Quinn. They are Quinn's only grandparents. I'm just worried for how everyone will react. I know they won't be mad but I don't know how to feel about it.

Moving away from Dublin was an easy choice, I needed a new start, away from my past nursery, a change of scenery. I don't have the same feelings about England. I love the view from the nursery, my house, on my drive to work the sunrise can be absolutely stunning, the sunsets after a long day of work. Seeing my wife holding my daughter waiting at the door when I get home. It's all beautiful scenes.

"Sorscha? Sorscha?" I snap out of my thoughts, Charlotte nodding towards the sleep room, "Uh right! Sorry!" I spend the next couple hours helping with tea, diapers, the basic baby room tasks. 3pm hits. Ria's mom is here on the dot.

I freeze as Charlotte talks to her mom. I haven't even prepared how I'm going to break the news to them. I'm so nervous. The door closing is what shocked me to speak. "Right, uhm, you're in ratio now so I will go pop into the office. And hope that all goes well." She wishes me good luck.

The walk to the office isn't long at all however it feels like hours. Each step is it's own hour. I finally reach the door. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. "Hiya Marjorie! Hiya Autumn!"

"Hello Sorscha." Autumn, the deputy manager, looks up to greet me, she nods and looks back down at her computer.

"Hello my love! Come on in? What's up?" Marjorie, the manager, asks while pointing to the seat in-front of her desk. I close the door and sit down. My breaths heavy.

"Right, so, I want to talk to you about something." I stumbled on my words. Why is this so hard?

"Alright! Go ahead, what's bothering you?"

"So my parents live in Dublin, however they are getting older and traveling is getting harder on them both physically and mentally. The amount they are traveling to see Quinn isn't good for them. And you know they are Quinn's only grandparents so we want them to be able to see her as much as possible." I start to explain. A lump in my throat.

"Go on." Marjorie nods along to show she's paying attention.

"So, Clodagh and I talked about it. And these past few weeks have been hectic. However, we have decided that my parents moving wouldn't be ethical. Unfortunately, as much as I hate to say this, Clodagh, Quinn, and I are moving back to Dublin." I let out a sigh of a relief. I said it.

"You're kidding me, right?" Marjorie asks.

"Im sorry, I'm not, we really want Quinn to grow up having a bond with her grandparents and this is the best solution. We've already finalized a house and start our new jobs in a few weeks." Marjorie looks almost devastated.

"You're moving back to Dublin?" Autumn asks, clarifying. I nod slowly, "Well, I'm very sorry to see you go. When is your last day going to be?"

"End of next month. I don't have an exact date yet as we haven't bought our plane tickets yet, but I will let you all know as soon I buy them." I try to explain, my voice shaking, I'm not too sure on this decision now. I was so sure a couple weeks ago.

"Well, why don't you explain it to the rest of the staff, and after work we can go have a nice staff dinner. I'll invite Reece as well. And oh! Don't be afraid to bring Clodagh and Quinn." We plan a time and restaurant, usually we'd go to a bar, however I'm sure Carly will want to come.

Explaining it to the rest of the staff wasn't easy. Carly starting crying and Winter went silent After congratulating me.

That same day, we all went out for dinner.
All the staff Plus significant others.
Mia, Charlotte, and Charlotte's girls.
Reece, Marjorie, and Carly.
Winter and Autumn.
Clodagh, Quinn, and I.

It was probably the most fun I've had in a long time. Laughing, joking, remembering fun times. I'm going to miss England. I really will. I built my life here, and as much as it pains me to leave, I know it's best for us, Quinn, my parents.

I don't think we'll move back to England even in a few years when Quinn's a bit older, she'll be settled in at that point. I've seen it time and time again. Taking a child from where they are settled, doesn't always end well.

I'll be back though, I love it here, I'll miss it here, and I have my family here. They may not be blood relatives, but they are family.

Goodbye The Knight Nursery. See you soon.
