Hearing Paige tell me she wanted a family with me should have made me completely elated, but it didn’t. Not entirely, anyway.

I spent the next few days nursing her back to health. Even though she was in bad shape the first day, she actually bounced back pretty fast and went to work the next week just fine.

I told myself that when she was better, I’d tell her about the phone call. There was no use stressing her out when she was sick and everything.

But it had been a week since she got better and I still hadn’t even mentioned it. I wasn't even sure I could bring myself to mention it at all anymore. Not after what she had said about wanting to be a family.

I had some choices to make.

The phone call I’d gotten the first day I was taking care of Paige was actually from the family I used to nanny for. Apparently they’d been having a real hard time finding a replacement in their new town. Every nanny they’d tried out in the last few months was a dud, and Brianna asked about me every day.

They had a proposition for me.

They wanted me to move out to them and continue to be their nanny. Not only were they going to pay me twice as much money as they had here, but they had an extra room in their home and I’d be able to live with them for free as well.

A few months ago, this would have been my dream opportunity. Not only would I make more money working for the same family I loved, but I’d get to have that bond I always wanted with Brianna. I would get to watch her grow, and I’d be her nanny until she was old enough to not need one anymore.

But then what?

This would involve me moving across the state to work for them. I’d have to give up my job now. Hell, I’d probably have to give up my relationship.

And I adored Brianna. I wanted that bond. I wanted to continue to be her caretaker while her parents worked. But the bond I had with her would be nothing compared to the bond I would have with my future children.

That was what Paige was offering me. She was giving me a chance to have my own kids, my own family, a life with her. I couldn’t walk away from that. Nothing would make me walk away from that.

But god, was this job tempting. If the job was here, it’d be perfect. I could keep my relationship and keep watching Brianna, and when she was old enough to be a few years into grade school, her parents would likely put her into an after school program and I wouldn’t even be needed. Which was probably about the time Paige and I would be trying for our own kids. The timeline would have been perfect.

But it wasn’t perfect if I wasn’t here with Paige, that was a given. And she couldn’t leave her job.
