"Goodmorning to you too." Stephen laughed as he embraced me in a hug "You look fine. I might be a tad bit over dressed, for the movies."
"I thought you were going out tonight."
Stephen was supposed to be going on a date night with his wife Ayesha but plans seemed to have changed.
"She's not feeling too well. I set her up for a few hours, she should be fine. I should've called, I could've taken the girls tonight."
"No it's fine. Anytime with these crazy girls is time well spent."
I was Stephen's babysitter slash nanny. I took care of Riley and Ryan for the most part while he was away. Ayesha is pregnant now with Canon. I personally don't think she should be having anymore children, she's not around much and that's why Stephen hired me.
"Ready?"
I nodded and grabbed Riley's hand. Steph held Ryan while we made our way to the car. We were going to see Toy Story. It had been out for a bit so we were hoping it wasn't crowded. - "Steph take my picture right quick." I handed him my phone and posed in front of the plaza

"You look so young, it's crazy."
"How young?"
I eyed him playfully making the both of us laugh. Riley wasn't speaking, that was odd.
"Are you feeling okay?"
I sat her on the counter while Steph grabbed the tickets. Something was wrong with her, I just knew it.
"My stomach hurts."
"Do you have to use the bathroom? Or are you hungry?"
She shook her head.
"What did you eat earlier?" She pointed to the 'baby' bag I sported. I opened it reveling a empty family sized bag of gummy bears. "You ate all of this?"
She nodded making me laugh. I took out the pepto I kept in the bag and pour a bit into the small cap before making her drink it. I then gave her a water bottle to wash it down.
"You'll feel better in a few minutes okay?"
She nodded and reached out to me again making me hold her. I looked over at Steph who was just staring at me.
"What?" I smiled nervously. He shook his head and smile - Both Riley and Ryan insisted on sitting in the corner seat together so that left Steph and I next to one another.
"Steph?"
"Hmm."
"You mind if I sleep? Finals have been kicking my tail."
"Finals?"
"Summer fast track courses. Just to get ahead."
He nodded. - I laid my head against his shoulder and snuggled up against his arm. For him to be so muscular he was so soft. - I woke up to clapping in the theater. The movie was almost over and there were a few over excited fans.
"How was the nap?"
"Short." He chuckled
"Go back to sleep."
"No. I'm fine, plus I can't sleep away the whole day, I'm on the clock."
"On the clock? Sasha you could come over and sleep all day and I would still pay you. You've made so many of my 'hectic' days easy, I could give you a few."
"Having this job does give me a few. Thanks though Steph, that was sweet."
I gently punched his shoulder before laying back in my seat. He did the same and placed his hand over my own. I was thrown off guard but went along with it. I interlocked my hand with his.
"Sasha."
"Yeah?"
"I'm divorcing Ayesha."
My eyes widened quickly. I couldn't have heard him correctly, they were the perfect family, at least from the outside looking in.
"She's pregnant."
"I know."
"She's the mother of your kids."
"I know."
"You love her."
"I know but she doesn't love them enough. She's never around for them, they deserve a real mother not just a woman who birthed them."
"What?"
"Someone like you. You're a mother, even though you've never birthed any children."
We were in a movie theater whispering to each other. It was honestly comical but this was not the time for laughing
"Stephen do you hear yourself?"
"Yeah."
"Tonight was your date night. How'd you come to this conclusion tonight, out of all nights."
"I had spoken to her about it months ago. That's why these days nights have been happening. We were trying to same our marriage."
"She pregnant."
He laughed "You said that already. I know she's pregnant but I feel like she did that so I won't leave but we already have children together and I still feel how I feel."
"So your plan is to divorce her and raise the children on your own?"
"Why are you cutting yourself out of the plan? You would still be around to help me out. This whole ordeal has nothing to do with you and your position will not be affected....much."
"Much?"
"Let's just say you'll be getting a promotion."
"What kind of promotion?"
"You ask a lot of questions." He had such a optimistic tone of voice and he held a small smile throughout most of our conversation, it had me confused
"I'm sorry. This is just a lot of information to take it at once."
"Don't worry, you'll have time to let it all sink it. I want the process as discreet as possible so it'll take some time. What year of college are you in?"
"My last."
"Yeah. You'll be done with school by the time to process is over. Then we can discuss things further."
"Steph, discuss what further? I'm not following."
Just as I was done speaking he kissed me.
Hey Loves, The BabySitter will be a short story. There will be multiple parts staring Saweetie and Stephen Curry.
