Dolly's hyperactive voice echoed through the door, showing absolutely zero trace of the child who had been crying so miserably just moments ago. Emmy could only hastily dry off, throw on her pajamas, and walk out with soaking wet hair. The moment she opened the door, she saw the two toddlers bouncing wildly on the bed.
Jada stood closely by the edge of the mattress to ensure they did not fall off, looking helplessly at Emmy. "Ma'am, these two move too fast.

Joey immediately hopped off the bed and ran over to hug Emmy's other leg. With his cheeks puffed out, the little boy declared with absolute seriousness, "No nannies! Only Mommy!"
Seeing the intense dependency in their eyes melted Emmy's heart completely. She crouched down and pressed a kiss to each of their cheeks. "Okay, okay, Mommy will not hire anyone else. Mommy will stay with you."
She scooped them up, placed them gently onto the bed, and had them lie down side by side. Taking the children's picture book Jada handed her, Emmy leaned back against the headboard, her voice turning incredibly soft. "Alright, no more hide and seek tonight. How about Mommy reads you a story?"
"Okay," the children agreed in unison, snuggling obediently into their mother's embrace.
The bedroom was illuminated by only a dim floor lamp. In the quiet of the night, Emmy's gentle reading voice felt exceptionally peaceful. "Once upon a time, there was a brave little lion..."
