Part 13 ~~~~~
Camille Jacobson was going to join the family today. She was going to spend time with the three younger Carlson children. Of course, Eileen would be there to watch as would Slater or Karen throughout the day. Jacob would be there too, but his days have grown shorter in the last week. Eileen felt that he would leave her very soon. Cami rang the bell at eight sharp. Eileen was there to greet her. The children were just finishing up breakfast when Cami walked into the kitchen with Eileen. Slater and Karen weren't up yet. Eileen had Cami sit at the kitchen table.
"Would you like some coffee?" Eileen asked.
"No, thank you, Mrs. Carlson. I'm fine for now."
"It's Eileen, Cami." Eileen smiled at the young woman.
"Of course, Eileen."
"Now, most of the time I will be here with you but, there will be days, in fact, three days a week, that I will be gone most of the day. I volunteer at the Hospital half a day, then work for a friend the other half."
"That shouldn't be a problem, at least until I have my dissertation to defend."
"Ah, yes, if you would like, I would be happy to read it over for you," Eileen said.
"I wouldn't want to impose."
"Cami... " Eileen took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Cami, while you are here if you are chosen, I would like you to think of us as a part of your family. I have read every paper my twins have had to prepare in high school. I only wish I could do the same for them at college."
"Well, thank you very much, Eileen. I would like for you to read my work."
"Now, why don't you take the kids into the living room while I clean up in here."
"No, why don't you take your kids in the..."
"I will not treat you as a maid. You are here to watch the children even if there is a mess to clean up. Cleanup will always be my job when I'm here. Your job will be to keep my children safe and maybe teach them a thing or two, while you are here. Is that clear young lady?" Eileen asked a stern look on her face.
"It is, Eileen. It is." Cami stood up. "Children, let's go into the living room so mom can clean up in here, okay?"
The three kids answered together and followed her into the living room. There was a small round child-size table set up in the corner for them. They knew the routine, sit at the table until the mess was cleaned, then it was time for Emily to get ready for school. Well, it would when school started in a week, so for right now the three children colored quietly. Cami stood behind them, walking around the table watching what they were doing.
"Oh, Emily, you color so well," Cami said.
"Thank you, Cami," Emily replied.
"Carl, that is so nice, but wouldn't be nicer if you tried to stay inside the lines?" asked Cami.
"Oh, you mean like Emily, does?" Carl shot back.
"So, you're going to be an out of the lines kind of guy?" Cami asked right back.
Carl looked up at for a few seconds, shook his head, and went back to coloring, only inside the lines now. Eileen had been watching the exchange and was standing in the kitchen trying to keep from laughing. Even though she would prefer that her children make up their own minds on how to do things. Cami hadn't chided him about not coloring in the lines. She handled Carl with a simple question. She didn't suggest which way he should go, she asked him which way he wanted to go.
"Oh Troy, that is quite good," Cami said looking down at Troy's picture.
"Thank you, Cami," Troy replied, sticking his tongue out at Carl.
"Troy, what did mother tell you about that?" Emily asked her younger brother.
"Not to do that. I'm sorry Carl."
Carl just stuck out his tongue at his brother.
"Carl," Emily said.
"Sorry, Troy," Carl said.
Troy nodded as did Carl. Cami, just stood there watching the byplay and trying not to laugh or giggle.
"Okay, kids, time to get dressed. Let's go," Eileen said from the kitchen.
The three children rose from the table calmly and hurried to their bedrooms. Eileen followed them as did Cami.
"Cami, help Emily if she needs it. I'll get the two boys," Eileen said.
"Yes, Eileen," Cami replied following Emily into her bedroom.
Cami watched as Emily got her clothes out of her dresser. She pulled out shorts, a t-shirt, along with a clean pair of socks. Looking around, she went and closed her door. Cami nodded as she sat on the bed. Emily stripped off her nightshirt. She quickly pulled her shorts on and then her t-shirt. Sitting on the bed next to Cami, she pulled on her socks. When she was finished, Emily smiled up at Cami.
"Very good, Emily. Very good," Cami said smiling at Emily.
"Thank you." Emily slipped off her bed and headed for the door.
Cami stood and followed her, smiling. She was in hopes she would be selected to help this family out with the young children. The rest of the day went smoothly. The children were well behaved and if the boys got out of line, would be called to task by Emily, more often than Cami or Eileen. Cami always looked over at Eileen when that happened. Eileen was always trying to suppress a giggle each time. Cami, too, had to suppress a giggle. When Slater or Karen was there, each of them shook their heads and didn't say a word as mom was there. Later in the day she got Slater alone and asked him.
"May I ask a question?" Cami asked.
Slater looked at her surprise on his face, "Of course you may. Anytime."
"If your mom wasn't in the room when Emily corrects Carl or Troy, what would you have done?"
"Oh! I would have pulled Emily aside and told her if there wasn't an adult close by, that she would have been correct in calling them to order but, with adults in the room, she should let them handle Troy and Carl. What would you have done?"
"Just that or bring it to my attention so I could correct them. I would also have taken her out of earshot of Troy and Carl."
"Good. I know mom thinks it's cute and they are her children but, I think she will regret not mentioning it to Emily eventually."
"My thought also, but I wouldn't overrule her if she is present," said Cami.
Slater nodded at her as they went back to the living room. The day was long and the children had fun, interacting with Cami. Eileen had Cami stay with them for dinner. Cami watched the children as the Twins cleaned up and Eileen helped her husband to bed. After the kitchen was cleaned, Karen and Cami helped Emily in her bath and getting dressed for bed. Slater helped Cami and the boys bathe and dress for bed. As Karen sat in the living room with the children, Slater walked Cami to her car.
"It was really nice spending the day with you and your family," Cami said as she unlocked her car. She turned toward Slater.
"It was nice having you here," Slater said reaching out.
