Saving My Life

Daycare

A/N Any chapters that don't have exciting titles are probably just filler chapters. Thought I'd let you know. The last chapter was a filler.

I wake up to the sound of the doorbell. Kenzie is sleeping next to me so quietly as I can, I get up and go to the entryway to open the door. Skai and Peyton are standing there. Before they can say anything I shush them.

"Everyone is still sleeping."

"Oh. Sorry to wake you but this is kinda last minute."

"Its fine. What is it?"

"Well, our parents had to go with the rest of the cast parents and see if it would be ok for us to film an episode in Europe. They mostly always say yes anyway but they still go. We were wondering if we could stay with you?" Skai finishes taking a breath.

"Sure. Come on in," I say beckoning them to join me in the living room. I planned to wake up everyone because I have a very cool suggestion.

"Ok, everyone listen up," I yell loudly so they will wake up.

"What?" Ariana asks yawning and adjusting to the light.

"I think Kenzie should go to daycare," I finish. Everyone looks shocked.

"Why?" Ariana asks looking at Mackenzie who is still asleep.

"Well, we have careers. What if one day we are all gone at the same time and nobody can take car of her. It'll only be for half a day. I get done recording at about 11 so I can pick her up on the way home. With the chauffeur of course."

"Well, we do have enough money for it. Obviously," Ariana says thinking about her decision.

"She can make friends," I add. "She can't grow up only having friends because her family is famous. Maybe one day she can audition for a TV show too. Maybe 2?"

"Well that is a good idea. I think I'm up for it. Skai, Peyton what are you doing here so early?"

"Our parents went to Europe so we came to ask if we could stay with you guys for a few days. Taylor said it was fine. They are staying later to have a little 'vacation'."

"Of course. You're always welcome here. Make yourselves at home."

"Well, Ariana I was wondering if we could go find some daycares for Kenzie. Like now."

"Well ok. Everyone go get ready. We will leave in 10 minutes."

"I got Kenzie. She can go in her pajamas. They will be fine," I say picking up Kenzie and walking upstairs with her. I set her fragile body on my bed as I change clothes. Zach won't be coming because he went on family vacation.

"Let's go!"

I grab my phone and shove it in my back pocket before picking up Kenzie and placing her house shoe boots on her little feet. She lays her head on my shoulder and I walk downstairs.

I am the last on in and I place Kenzie securely in her car seat before buckling up myself. I look up daycares and find one called "Sunny Smiles Childcare Center". I tell the driver where to go and look for more daycares in case this one doesn't work out.

I see 2 more called "Little Children" and "Rainbow Daycare Facility". After the driver enters those 2 addresses, I call and make interviews for us to meet the owners at all 3. Surprisingly they are totally cool with the last minute decision.

We arrive at the first daycare center and it is beautiful. It is a 2-story stone building and there is beautiful flowers painted on the stone. "Alright, let's head inside." I unstrap Kenzie from her seat and pick her up. Surprisingly she is still asleep.

We walk inside and it is beautiful. It's nice and bright due too the windows, lights, and beautiful paint. We go to the front desk and check-in. "Interview for Grande please." "Of course Ms Grande. Right this way."

We follow the lady into her office and it is big enough to fit all of us. Skai, Peyton, and Sean stand by the door while me, Ari, and Kenzie sit in the 2 chairs in front of her desk. "So, how many children will you be entering into the system?" "Just 1."

"Well, the second story is for children 6-16. The lower is for 6 months-5 years. How old is this beautiful girl of yours?" "She just turned 1 about a week ago." "Great." "So do you know how long she will be staying each day?"

"8:30-11:30. In the morning of course." "Ok. Well, just one more question. Can she walk, talk, and is she potty trained?" "Yes. All though that's more than 1 question." They both laugh and Kenzie moves in my lap.

I rub her back as she slowly falls back asleep. "So, I have a question. Is it ok if we pick her up a little earlier or later then expected? Just in case there is traffic or we're on the way home and heading this way?" "Of course. That's fine."

"Great. How much will it be?" "$200 per week." "I thought you were about to say $200 per day." "Well that's all. She'll be starting Monday. That's when we all get back to work." "Ok. Great. See you then."

With that, we walk out and get into the limo. We drive back home and watch TV in the living room until lunch.
