Chapter Four: A Nanny?

"Daddy!" the kids shouted immediately they saw him and ran to Damien, they were just coming back from school.

"My treasures" Damien smiled and hugged them one after the other. 

"How was school? " he asked carrying Flora on his laps. 

"It was fine" Flora smiled and played with Damien's hair. 

"Well Dad it was okay except the fact that am hungry right now" Freddie pouted. 

 "Foodie" Kathy rolled her eyes and looked at her dad. 

"It was not fine, there is this girl that got me annoyed" Kathy frowned. 

"What happened? " Damien asked.

 "She...." Kathy trailed off when she saw Sylvia who was just coming from the kitchen, a frown appeared on her face immediately.

 "Dad what is she doing here" She yelled still frowning and Damien trailed her eyes to where she was staring at and he coughed nervously when he saw she was staring at Sylvia who was already looking at them.

 " Dad why is she here?" Flora asked also staring at Sylvia.

"Errr..she is your new nanny" he dropped the bomb. 

"We don't want a nanny!" The kids yelled.

"Guys am sorry but you need someone to take care of you" Damien explained.

"We don't need anyone to take care of us, we can take care of ourselves" Kathy said and rushed upstairs.

 "Kids.." Damien tried saying.

 "We don't want a nanny" Flora said and went upstairs, Freddie also followed her and Damien sighed. 

Sylvia who was watching them sighed sadly and thought of going to call them for lunch.

 "I will go and call them downstairs for lunch" she told Damien. 

"They won't answer you" Damien shakes his head. 

 "I should try at least" Sylvia shrugged and went upstairs to Freddie's room first, she knocked on the door. 

"Hey Freddie" Sylvia muttered.

 "What do you want" Freddie said from inside.

 "Lunch is ready, I made pancakes" she said and his eyes widened.

 "Pancakes! Gosh I love pancakes but I have got to play hard to get" Freddie thought. 

 "I'm not hungry, leave" he said.

 "Please Fred" she pleaded. 

 "No" 

 "Okay, but you know you are going to get hungry if you don't eat and just so you know the pancakes are very delicious, you won't wanna miss it" she smiled knowingly"

"Fine am coming downstairs" Freddie replied, he couldn't resist eating the pancakes.

"Okay, meet you downstairs" she smiled and walked away to Flora's room. 

"Little Angel" she knocked on the door but got no reply. 

"Hey Flora" she said again.

 "What" Flora replied from inside. 

 "Lunch is ready" 

"Am not hungry" Flora said and laid on her bed in the room.

"I know you are hungry but you are just angry, please don't starve yourself cause of that" Sylvia said expecting a reply but she got none so she walked away to Kathy's room. 

"Kathy" she knocked on Kathy's door but got no answer.

"Hey Kathy, I just want to tell you that lunch is ready" she said again but got no reply. 

 "Kathy..."

 "Leave me alone!" Kathy yelled from inside the room.

 "Come downstairs for lunch, please" Sylvia pleaded.

 "I'm not hungry, leave me alone" Kathy yelled again and Sylvia sighed then walked downstairs.

When she got downstairs, Damien was not there again and she met Freddie already at the dining, sitting."

"You are here already" Sylvia smiled.

"Yes am hungry" Freddie pouted.

"Okay let me give you your food" She said and started serving him some pancakes, she was still serving when Flora walked in. 

"Flora you are here? have your sit" Sylvia told Flora and she sat down.

"Wow! pancakes" Flora giggled happily and Sylvia gave her some pancakes and they both began eating.

"Hmm the pancake is so delicious" Freddie moaned as he rushed it. 

"Calm down there is still more if you want" Sylvia chuckled.

"Really! " he asked. 

"Yeah" Sylvia nodded and poured some milk for them. 

"I want more" Freddie said immediately he was done eating the pancakes on his plate. 

"Me too" Flora said. 

"Okay" Sylvia smiled and gave them another one and they continued eating.

 Damien came downstairs and was surprised when he saw his children eating, he smiled. 

"I'm going to the office, I have something important to do" Damien said.

"Okay dad" The kids replied still focused on their food.

"Please take care of them" Damien said to Sylvia and she nodded.

"I will sir" Sylvia replied and he nodded then walked out of the house. 

"Seems it won't be so hard" Damien thought as he entered his car and drove off. 

 IN THE MANSION

 When they were done eating,

  "The pancakes were so delicious, it's being a while since I had it, I wish I can eat it more often" Freddie grinned.

"Yeah" Flora agreed with him. 

 "Well you can but please give this to Kathy" Sylvia said to Freddie and gave him some pancakes which she put in a plate.

"I'm not sure she would eat it" Flora said. 

"We have to try and guys please convince her to eat it" Sylvia pleaded. 

 "What are we going to get in return?" Flora furrowed her eyebrows.

 "What if I say there is still some pancakes left and if you can get her to eat it I would give it to you both" Sylvia smiled.

"Really!" Their eyes beamed. 

"Yes" she nodded. 

"Okay we are in" Freddie and Flora giggled and quickly rushed upstairs.

"Careful" Sylvia said after them and smiled.

 She took the plates to the kitchen and washed them then put them in their right places.

IN KATHY'S ROOM

"Hey Kathy, we've got something for you" Freddie said as both him and Flora walked inside the room.

"What's that?" Kathy asked laying on her bed. 

"This" Flora said as Freddie opened the plate. 

"Wow pancakes! " Kathy exclaimed as she quickly sat up on the bed and collected it from him. She took a piece and was about eating when she stopped.

"Who made it?" She asked. 

"Aunt Sylvia" Flora said and she quickly dropped it on the plates and pushed the plate away.

"I don't want it" Kathy frowned.

"Come on eat it, I know you are hungry" Flora said. 

"I'm not" Kathy snapped.

"Okay if you say you are not hungry, just have a bite, it's really delicious" Freddie licked his lips.

"Seriously you guys are not serious, we are supposed to be planning on how to make her leave and you guys are here eating her food" Kathy hissed and rolled her eyes. 

"She is not that bad" Flora said and jumped on the bed. 

"What do you know, you are just four years old" Kathy snapped at Flora.

"So, I still have sense" Flora rolled her eyes. 

"You guys should stop and Kathy eat the food already" Freddie said and also got on the bed. 

"I'm not eating anything that is cooked by her" Kathy muttered. 

"Come on"
