Chapter Six - A Live-In Nanny
Bianca had the easiest of pregnancies, and Joel became the ever-doting father-to-be.
Neither could believe their good fortune, for they must have conceived on their honeymoon night.
Bianca's belly grew and grew, until she was sure would burst if she got any bigger.
And so she did.
Bianca and Joel were thrilled with their beautiful little girl...
...and named her Allesandra.
Allesandra's infancy was filled with love and happiness. Finally, one beautiful spring day, Allie transitioned into a lovely toddler.
Allie had grown a full head of golden hair, and everyone present said she looked like an angel.
Well, all except one.
As the party neared an end, Miss Emmy approached Bianca with a matter of utmost importance.
As Miss Emmy prepared to tell Bianca everything, she realized she couldn't do it. Biance glowed with love and joy for her new baby girl, and her life with Joel.
"I have watched so many DiPotere's suffer for this curse," she said to herself. "I cannot watch another."
"But maybe I can protect her."
Miss Emmy waited until the last of the guests had left.
"Bianca," she began, "I can only imagine how stressful it is trying to raise a new baby."
"Oh, Miss Emmy, I love it, and I love little Allie, but I'm so tired. I've never been so tired in all my life."
"And do you think you'll have more children?" asked Emmy.
"Oh, yes, Joel and I definitely want more," said Bianca. "And of course, I want to get my kitten shop up and running..."
"Kitten shop?"
"Yes," said Bianca. "I want to breed my own kittens, and sell them to good homes. But, with Allie, well...I guess it will have to wait."
"It doesn't have to wait, you know," said Emmy.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, my dear, I am old...too old to be running around town all day in this get up. Sadly, fortunetelling doesn't come with a retirement plan. I'd give it all up in a heartbeat if I had something else to do with my time, and a comfortable place to live."
Bianca looked at Miss Emmy, unsure of what she was hearing. "You mean, you'd move in here with me? To help with Allie?"
"I'd like that more than anything in the world," said Miss Emmy.
"But I can't pay you," said Bianca. "It would be amazing to have you here, but we have no extra money...and we're building the new house..."
"Oh, no, you wouldn't need to pay me! I have my own nest egg built up. All I require is a room of my own, with a private entrance, so I can come and go as I please."
"Miss Emmy, I would love to have you here! Please say you'll move in!"
"Bianca, there's nothing I want more in the world."
