Brian laughed. "Sasha, you are one of the most responsible people I know! You've stayed with the kids before and everything was fine. Of course I trust you with my kids! They love you!"

"I don't know Brian. What if something goes wrong? What if Bailey gets sick? You are going to be so far away. Maybe you should call your mom and have her come and stay with them."

"I thought about that." He nodded in agreement. "I honestly don't think she could handle them for 2 weeks though. I love my mom but she's no spring chicken. I can tell she is exhausted after a couple of days with them when she visits even when I'm here helping with them."

"Do you really think I could do it Brian?"

He put his hand on top of hers. "Of course I think you could do it Sasha! If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked you."

"It is just for 2 weeks right? I mean what about this summer when you're gone?"

"Well, as it stands right now, Leighanne is going to pick them up the day after school gets out. She is supposed to keep them for a month. I'll pick them up when we go through Atlanta on the tour and keep them with me for the remaining 6 weeks of the tour."

Sasha nodded. "And you will leave me every number I could possibly need, no matter how remote or unlikely they may be?"

"I will leave you every number I can think of including the phone numbers of the wives and parents of all the other guys if that will make you feel safer." He assured her squeezing her hand. "Does this mean you will do it?"

"Are you sure you want me to Brian?"

"Yes! I am 100% sure!" He squeezed her hand again.

Sasha nodded slowly. "OK. If you think I am capable of doing it and you trust me with your kids then," She took a deep breath. "I guess I can handle them for 2 weeks."

Brian stood up and pulled Sasha to her feet. "Thank you so much Sasha!" He said hugging her. "You have no idea how much this means to me." He kissed her softly. "The kids are going to be so excited when I tell them!"

Sasha smiled and then bit her lip. "I just hope I do OK." She said. The thought of taking care of Brian's kids for 2 weeks scared her. 'He really doesn't know anything about me.' She mused. 'I would never hurt his kids but would he ask me to watch them if he knew what I know about me?'

"You'll do fine Sawsh! I have faith in you." He hugged her again. "I have one more favor to ask you tonight."

"Do I even want to hear this?" Sasha joked.

"This one is easy." Brian assured her. He took her hand in his. "Something just for me."

Sasha felt her pulse quicken. She had feared this moment since she had first seen the dining room that night. 'Maybe I'm wrong about what he wants. I was wrong when I thought he was telling me he didn't need me to work for him anymore.' Still, she could tell by the look on his face he wasn't going to ask her to help him with the dishes. "What is the favor?" She asked hesitantly.
