AN: So here we go, another fic!

None of this was Vanessa’s fault. Johnny told himself that several times as he sat back in the chair. The silence of the house seemed to creep under his skin, infect his blood, and travel into his brain and make him feel more than a little insane.

It wouldn’t be long until this silence would be a thing of the past. In just a few days, Lily-Rose and Jack would be coming. He would be thrust back into the world of being a full time father. Johnny didn’t mind that part at all, in fact, he welcomed it. He had missed his kids every moment of every day. But there was just no way he could do it right this second.

He was supposed to start a new movie in a week. Luckily, the filming would be here in LA, but what was he supposed to do with Lily-Rose and Jack? Who would get them to school, get their homework done, and help them get ready for bed? He needed a nanny. That’s what he needed.

Damn you, Vanessa, he said only inside his head. Damn your need for space, and then your need for you-time, and then realizing that you just don’t WANT to be a mother anymore. That you’ve lost yourself and you need to be someone all on your own. Why wasn’t it enough for you to be my wife, to be their mother? Why wasn’t it enough for you to have a family?

Of course, it wasn’t really her fault, not all the way at least. He deserved some of the blame too. It hadn’t been fair of him, jetting off for film after film and leaving her alone with the kids. They had agreed to do this as partners, and she had done most of it on her own.

He still hadn’t been expecting her to ask him to leave. Then sending the kids away for the summer to some camp, and then to decide that she didn’t want them back and they had to go with Johnny. None of this had had any foreshadowing.

“Maybe there would have been if I had been looking.” He leaned his head back. Now he had to arrange for schools, arrange for a housekeeper, and then arrange a nanny. Johnny hated himself for the mere thought of it. He hadn’t wanted the kids to be raised by someone else.

Anyway, what sort of nanny was he going to get? Certainly not one of those stiff nannies who wore their hair in a severe bun and glared if the children dared to smile. And not someone who just let the kids walk all over her. (Of course the nanny would be a woman. He was progressive, but he just could not fathom a male nanny.) He had to find someone in between, with the final decision being left up to the children, naturally.

He could go to one of those agencies, but he didn’t want to. That was a sure way to get the media involved in his and Vanessa’s break up. It looked like he’d have to see what was in the paper. There were always nannies advertised there.

“Hello?” I tried to make my voice sound calm and professional. Really my heart was pounding about a mile a minute in my chest. I hoped this would be someone answering my ad in the paper.

“Is this Charity?”

“Yes it is,” I said smoothly. “How may I help you sir?”

“I have a job for you.” He sounded nervous. I beamed. This was going to be easier than I thought!

“You do? That’s great! Can I have some information about it?” I poised my hand above my index card, kept in a stack my by phone with a pen on top.

“Well, I have two children and I need you to look after them.” I paused.

“Sir, I think maybe you misread my ad.” My heart fell. I really needed this job. “I’m a dog walker, not a nanny.”

“No, no, I understood that, it’s just that—it’s just that everyone else sounded weird.” I was quiet for a minute, hoping this wasn’t the type of man who tied his kids out back on ropes or gave them a Tub Time Toaster.
“Besides, being a nanny can’t be that much different than being a dog walker, can it?”

“Did you just say that your children are like dogs?”

“No! No, God, no.” I licked my lips. “I just really need some help. All the other nannies sounded so weird. Do you think you could help until I find someone more permanent?”

“I suppose. Just for a few days. And I charge three times what I charge for dogs.”

“Done. Thank you. You come from God in Heaven.” He sounded so grateful, I thought he might cry.

“You won’t think that way when I send you the bill. I’ve heard angels work pro bono.” He chuckled and I hung up the phone after getting his name and an address. He said he was Clay Sandborne. I tapped the index card I had scrawled his information down on against my palm.

Great. Just great. Looked like I had some Googling to do. If I hadn’t needed this job so badly, I would have said no. Dogs and children were two very different species.

***

He’d given her a fake name. It sounded more plausible than saying Johnny Depp wanted her to be a nanny. She’d ask why he was calling around anyway, most likely. No one knew he and Vanessa called it quits.

Johnny sighed. At least Charity sounded nice enough. Suspicious of him too, which he had took as a good sign. If the person had been a-okay with taking care of children instead of dogs, that might not have been okay.

He was going to have to look her up on Myspace or something, see what came up. He might have made a hasty decision, but it wasn’t too late to take it back. He hefted himself up off the chair and dragged himself over to his laptop.
