Chapter 3 - The Kids

"You were a child

Crawling on your knees toward him

Making momma so proud

But your voice is too loud

We like to watch you laughing

Picking insects off of plants

No time to think of consequences

Control yourself

Take only what you need from it

A family of trees wanting to be haunted"

kids - MGMT

Kids from MGMT was blasting on Tessa's old car as she arrived on Jordyn's mansion. It had been 2 months since she started working for her and Tessa loved it. The kids were amazing, she had so much fun with them and seen Jordyn so happy to go back to work was so good, she was happier, had more energy and was even nicer than before.

She had her routine with the kids. She would get to the house, get Ophelia, chat with Jordyn while she gets ready to work, help her pick an outfit, make Jordyn a little something to eat, usually some chopped apple and a green juice, hug her friend/boss, say goodbye. By that time Ophelia was up and ready to play, so they would play with some dolls, then watch cartoon, that's around 3pm, almost 4, so Tessa would get Ophelia something to eat, she'd try to mix it up, but the kid loved bananas with oat "so weird" Tessa would always think. Around 4:30 Violet and Harper got home, always giving Tessa a big tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. She'd prepare something for them to eat, Violet loved scrambled eggs and orange juice, Harper was more a bread with cheese kinda girl and some chocolate milk. Two days a week they'd go to the pool, to teach Ophelia how to swim and improve Violet's and Harper's skills. Around 5pm was time for homework, Tessa would prepare everything for them to take a bath, comb their hair, pick their clothes (not for Violet, that girl had one hell of a strong personality), get them to do their homework and help them out, while Ophelia would take a nap. Around 6 she'd take the kids to play at the mansion's playground, sometimes call Violet's and Harper's friends, thinking on how rich Jordyn is and what the hell her husband works with. Ophelia would nap again around 7pm, when Jordyn gets home (sometimes at 7:30). When Jordyn comes home, Tessa takes a bath and gets ready for her second job, she kisses the girls goodbye and on Saturdays they cry and usually give a tantrum, because Tessa doesn't stay with them on Sunday's and occasionally on Saturdays.

Tessa got used to her routine. She actually liked it. She had a bit of time for herself in the morning and when the kids watch cartoon, was getting a good paycheck and even bought herself a new phone (she was 3 iphones late).

It was a sunny Wednesday when Tessa turned off her car and walked into the mansion. Jordyn gave her a quick hug, she had to pick up her husband at the airport.

"I bought popsclies!" Jordyn said, walking on a fast pace to the door "it's a beautiful day for a pool, wish I could just jump in" she complained "love you girls, bye!" and she left.

"Ok baby girl" she picked Ophelia up "oh god did u poop?" the kid laughed, making Tessa also laugh "big poop?"

"yes!".

"I need you to poop in the poty girl, no more diapers" she kissed Ophelia's cheek "promise me you'll try?"

"yeeeees".
