Chapter 68 — The Perfect Decision
When the door has knocked, Mary already hardly took breath. Without any parent's experience it's very difficult to cope with two creeping kids who both want more and more attention.
After finally having contrived to take Chip that he had no possibility to slip out, Mary went to open the door. Samantha begun to roar when she's seeing that the brother uses not deserved privilege to be on hands. Behind the door Mary sees Christie.
"I hardly found you!" she embraced sister. "I thought that you would live with Capwells."
"Unforeseen circumstances were showed," Mary vaguely responded and lead sister in the room. "But all of us equally were not going to remain there for a long time, now just Mason's apartment is in repair."
"OK," Christie pulled out Samantha from the arena and put on her knees. The roar has stopped. "Well, so you are babysitting with his children?"
"They are my children also now," Mary jarred on. "And your nephews."
"I already see," the sister thoughtfully spent her finger on cheeks of the girl who immediately seized it by her own finger. Also then Christie looked at Mary. "And one more already soon come in," she winked.
"How are you doing?" Mary asked, putting Chip in the high chair. "What about Jimmy?"
"I came because him," Christie replied, playing with the baby. "Mary, I am very need for the good job."
"From me?" Mary was shocked.
"I have nobody except you. Jimmy and me, you see... Well, we want to live together. He moved from cafe's job in the repair truck business for have more money. But if we will rent an apartment, we would have not money for the food and other things--"
"Do you have the serious relationships with him?" Mary asked some nerved. God know if Christie may again get into troubles!
"Yes, very much," after the pause she nodded. "We have some plans, but... if now we will not get out, hardly can we be together."
"Do you love him?" Mary seriously looked at her sister. It was unlike Christie make plans so many detailed. May be Jimmy affected on her?
"I do love," Christie just answered. "But without any good job for me there leaves nothing for us. Do you'll help me?" She asked directly.
"I am not sure that I could."
"But now Capwells are our relatives after all."
"I think that you know that even Mason is not getting along with his family."
"All right, I understood. I'm leaving," Christie jumped up, having put off Samantha on the bed, and go to the door.
"Wait!" Mary put Chip down on the floor (he immediately up on all fours and crawled to the door), and picks up on hands Sammi, she stopped her sister at the door. "Wait, do not take offence."
Christie looks down the floor.
"I have the idea," Mary said after the pause. "But first I should talk to Mason."
"All right," murmured Christie and askance looked at Mary.
"Well, OK" she was delighted. "And now may be you will stay for some time and help me have taking care about children? They are so nimble; especially Chip and I have a few problems with them."
"Sure," Christie willingly agreed and picked up Chip who already has half got out at the half-open door of the hotel room.

Mason came at home just soon after Christie's leaving. All of his babies were full and peacefully sleep and Mary read the magazine.
"Oh, I am glad that you already home," she's up from the chair.
"I drop in for a few minutes," Mason guilty told. "I need to take some documents--"
"Listen to me, OK? It'll not take a lot of time..."
"... Do you mean that Christie asked you to find the job for her?" Mason angrily asked.
"Yes, but listen more. Don't be angry. Her behavior is clear, I am her older sister. Listen, it seems to me that I found the good way."
"For Christie?"
"For all of us. I think that she should be offered the job as the babysitter for Chip and Sammi."
"The babysitter? Hmm."
"Mason, it's difficult to me to get along with two crawling kids already now, and after some months I'll have one more."
"I already thought about this problem," Mason admitted. "And even called to the babysitter who worked for me until your... returning. But she already has the work and she refused."
"Then that you are! Searches of the new babysitter can take the eternity, and we have not a lot of time! And Christie very well getting with them."
"All right!"
"Do you agree?"
"Yes," Mason smiled and embraced Mary. "You are right. The help with children is need for us, and the work is need for your sister. Call her, fine!"
"You are wonderful!" Mary kissed him on the cheek and buried her face in his shirt.
"I am just the perfect husband," Mason said without superfluous modesty and began to kiss her in lips.
"I thought you supposed to leave," Mary exhaled after some minutes.
"You are right," Mason regretfully released her. "It's a pity, but I need to leave."
"I'll wait you," Mary promised and giggled.
Mason walk to the door, and already on the threshold he sent her the air kiss.
"I love you so much," Mary said at the closed door and go to call to Christie.
