Crystal: Whispering.. don’t forget Sylvia. We have to time it just right.
Sylvia: I know..here she comes.. giggling
Crystal: NOW!! Yanking the rope Ms Stallone goes flying in the air on the rollerskates and towels and dishes food everywhere.
Both girls giggle and run to their room. They knew that this one trick would be the icing on the cake. A cinch she will be gone in an hour. Their daddy keeps hiring babysitters but all they want is him. Since mommy died its just been the 3 of them and that’s how the like it . No one to take their daddy away from them losing their mommy was a traumatic loss so the prospects of losing in their eyes their whole world scared them so in order to keep daddy with them they chase away all babysitters who try to come between them and their daddy. The girls could hear Ms Stallone limping and in her room packing crying and complaining about how awful the girls are.
Michael: Babies!! I’m home!!
Crystal: DADDY!!! She comes running out of her room followed by Sylvia.
Michael: How’s my babies today? Everything okay? Awww…kissing them both hugging them. I love you both so much…smiling with love in his eyes.
Ms. Stallone. Mr. Jackson. I’m sorry but…Your girls are monsters…I QUIT!!! Walking past a stunned Michael.
Michael; Turning But Ms. Stallone!! Please don’t quit!! I need you here with my daughters!1 I can’t leave them alone!! Please! I’ll double your pay just please stay!!
Ms. Stallone just kept on walking got in her car and drove away. Michael was really sad and angry at his daughters for chasing another one away. Sighing heavily he closes the door and looks at his little girls.
Michael; Why do you treat them so badly? They’re not here to harm you but help you. Help me. You know I have to work. I have to be able to care for you and feed you. Make sure you have all you need. You know I love you both so much and nothing will change that but I need to work and not have to worry about who will care for my babies. He says with sadness in his eyes and voice.
Sylvia: We’re sorry daddy. Just we miss mommy so much a tear forms in her eyes we don’t want anyone to take you away from us is all.
Crystal: That’s all daddy. We’ll be better. Just please don’t stop loving us. Sadly
Michael: Oh babies, is that it? I could never stop loving you!! You are my babies. You always will be number one in my heart. My life. But you have to let me live a bit too don’t you want me to be happy?
Crystal; Yes daddy! Kissing his cheek
Sylvia; You are lonely daddy?
Michael: Sometimes, yes. But what’s important is that you two are happy. So please help me. Don’t chase away any more babysitters okay?
Sylvia; Okay daddy. I love you. Kissing his cheek and going off to her room
Crystal: I love you daddy…good night… kissing his cheek and heading off to bed
