Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a second to thank you for giving me feedback on what to improve.

If you have time please check it out and comment on what you think of the change. That's it from me. Please Enjoy!

Last night before I left I got people to help me with fixing things in Bear's room. I mean it now looks a thousand times better than before. My room still looks more childish than Bear's does now, but it certainly was a big improvement. I guess what they say about babies liking bright colors is real, Bear kept pointing and mumbling at all his new toys. I can't really blame Mr.Oban either, this is his first kid after all and he is basically a single dad now. He must be still grieving for his girlfriend. Lucky for him, I'm here now. I will probably ask for a thank you from him if I ever get to meet him that is.

Zenya was there when I went to work today. I was kind of scared, she might not like what I bought but the first thing out of her mouth when she saw me was,

"I saw Espath's room. It looked cute and Espath seems to like his new stuff"

Babies probably like anything they are given, so I wasn't sure if I deserve the compliment.

"Not everything, he doesn't like his teddy bear. I'll swing by the mall today and return it on my way back"

Zenya shook her head. "That's okay. You can keep it as a souvenir. You don't need to bother with returning it"

I almost said that going to the kid's store wasn't much of a bother, but I stopped because I didn't want her to see me as some sort of a creep, crushing on a guy that I literary met 3 days ago.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot to give you something" I picked up my phone to show Zenya my expense sheet.

"This is everything I bought with all the prices and reasons and stuff. You can probably double-check everything"

Zenya chuckled and turned to Mrs.Miller who just so happened to pass by, probably spying on us.

"And you thought Shortie would just waste my money!"

What the heck! Principal Miller, you should trust me more woman. I don't accuse you of being a prick out loud do I?

Zenya laughed a little louder. "Principal Miller, huh?"

Oh crap! I said that out loud again. I tried to shut my mouth with my hands. It was too late to take back what I said before but hopefully, it will keep me saying more stupid stuff in the future. Did she hear the "prick " part too?

You know what I don't even care about what she heard, I just got complimented for doing things right. I can't even remember the last time someone said something nice about me. And I even got a new teddy bear out of the deal. I mean I am 20 so I don't need a teddy bear but it will be a nice addition to all the other stuffed toys I had.

I made my way into Bear's room before I made a bigger fool of myself. Got the bottle out of the warmer to feed him.

"Hi, little bear!" He smiled that big baby smile when I spoke. Oh my god! Does this mean that he recognizes me now? Babies don't have object permanence yet, so if he remembers me even just a little, it'll be a huge deal. Or so they say on the internet.

"Do you want your milkies now? Yes, it wasn't milk. Bear was lactose intolerant but the formula was a white..ish liquid so I'm calling it milk.

The little guy was so hungry that he finished the whole bottle in one go and wasn't fussy like usual. He let out a little milk burp. It's funny how things I would find totally gross on adults I find so adorable with Bear. He is a teddy bear after all.

I carried Bear over to his new spaceship.

"See Bear long, long time ago, aliens came in a spaceship just like this one.... Well, something lot cooler but you know what I mean, anyway that's how your mom and dad met. If the aliens didn't come I wouldn't get to cuddle you!"

That was so true, I mean people will say aliens coming here wasn't all that great for us but plenty of great things happened as a consequence. Who knows, I might not even have a job otherwise.

"Do you want to ride in the saucer Bear?"I lifted him over my head so that he was in line with his spaceship sticker, telling myself the whole time not to drop the baby. Once he was up there I made spaceship noises. Ok, approximate spaceship noises that sounded more like "Blllrpppp". Give me a break, I haven't seen a spaceship in real life and on the news they always, always mute it.

Bear seemed to really like that cause that adorable baby laugh came out. Aww... Can this baby get any cuter?

I played around with Bear the whole day. I mean he slept a bunch but after lunch, he was pretty much just bursting with energy. I couldn't even put him down to go to the Toilet! He would start to cry and I had to pick him back up again.

He was going to be such a naughty kid when he grows up.

"You need to get changed by three."

Mrs.Miller said out of nowhere that she even spooked Bear. I had just got him to stop crying. Couldn't she have at least knocked? And now I have to start all over again.

Wait a minute! Why do I have to change? Are we having guests over? You know what I hate the most about Principal Miller. She doesn't give reasons. It's always, do this! Do that! Don't do this! But never, and I mean never why!

"Did you hear that Bear I have to wear that ugly dress again! So be nice, don't throw up as soon as you see it. You'll have visitors and you can throw up on them for making me wear it."

I did put Bear to sleep just to be sure, I mean I would be going home in a couple of hours anyway so I don't think I have time to change and have a shower without being late. The kid just had his bottle I am 100% sure he was going to throw up.

But who the heck is coming, that got everyone so rattled? Mrs.Miller looked like a chicken with its head cut off. Geez, these people need to communicate better with me!

"Can I know who's coming Mrs.Miller?" She was rubbing the spot on the coffee table that I saw the cleaner robot wipe like seconds before.

"Who do you think? Mr.Oban of course. Why would we be getting ready otherwise? For the president?"

What the heck! No need for the sass lady, I got you. We don't even have a president anymore. The aliens didn't let us choose a government for any country cause they thought our choices sucked. From what I read about the free world, they weren't totally wrong, but it would have been nice to choose who screwed us over.

Why didn't think it was Mr.Oban whose coming? This is his house, after all, I think I'm exhausted after handling Bear all day. I need to sleep, like right now. Then it clicked.

I'll be seeing the actual, real-life mega-billionaire in the flesh. OMG!!! What should I say when I see him? What if he takes one look at me and fires me for looking so stupid?

"Oh relax shortie! He is not going to fire you."

Oh no! I did it again. I turned to find Zenya sitting on the sofa, smiling at me. How long has she been here? And what did she hear?

She laughed. "I've been here the whole time and heard everything. For the record, my brother is nothing special even if he is a mega-millionaire. So there is no reason to panic."

She stood up and placed her hand on my shoulder. Easy for her to say! He is her brother and I know myself. I will be making a fool out of myself as soon as he steps in.

I should offer him my condolences, the guy must be sad to lose his girlfriend. I'll tell him that I will try my best to take care of his baby. I mean he has a lot on his plate I bet. The last thing he needs is to worry about his babysitter.

I have to admit I was getting more nervous the closer we got to three. It's everyone else's fault though, people looked like they were getting ready for the apocalypse. Oh no! So he must be one of those bosses that yell at people if a single thing was out of place! Well, I won't let him yell at me.

I could just imagine the door opening, him coming in all sad and exhausted just wanting to cuddle his baby for the rest of the day and remind himself that things are alright.

The doors opened and he did come in. But he did not look all that sad or that tired. He had two women on each hand and one following him all giggling in his ears.

I guess that's one way to look sad.
