Chapter Two

The husband and wife were enjoying their life together. It was a challenging life though. They were married and became parents so young. They were still finding themselves. The wife was continuing her education as best she could with a new baby. She wanted to be a teacher. She attended community college at night so that the husband could watch the baby. She made good grades and everyone was happy and healthy. There came a time though when she needed to take classes during the day. Their little girl was about a year old at this time. To help make ends meet the husband took on a second job working at a fast food restaurant at night. There he met a girl who had experience working with children. He was voicing his need for a babysitter for his little girl as his wife went to school and she said she would be happy to meet the whole family and offer her time as a babysitter if needed. The babysitter met the wife and the little girl. It was a great fit. The babysitter was a natural around young children and she seemed so sure of herself. The wife felt she was making a good decision by selecting a competent person to care for her child in the home. Everything seemed to be working out. The babysitter was also attending the same community college as the wife. She wanted to work with young children. Her classes were during the night though. She continued to babysit during the day and work at the fast food restaurant at night as well as take classes at night. Before the babysitter officially started watching the little girl she was working late with the husband one night. By this time they had become good friends. The wife was out of town with the little girl visiting her family miles away. The husband and the babysitter decided to hang out after work. They rented a movie and as they were watching it the husband started to poor his heart out about how dissatisfied he was with his life but he felt obligated to be the supportive husband and father. The babysitter listened to her friend. She knew she should leave. The husband knew what was happening. The babysitter knew there were better ways to provide support to her friend but she felt sorry for him . So, when he leaned forward to kiss her she did not stop him. Nor did she stop him from taking the moment further. One thing led to another and their friendship had entered dangerous ground.
