THE DUMARIAN INSEPARABLE HEARTS

"Miss Blair", the nanny called.

She gently knocked on the white wooden door with 'BLAIR' written in big block letters on it. After a few minutes of no response, she realized her madam wasn't going to answer. She opened the door and stepped into the room. She walked into the massive bedroom with great difficulty as there were heaps of toys around the room. In the bedroom, she found her madam fast asleep under a heap of stuffed animals. She huffed slightly and prepared to clear the bed a little to get to her madam. Pulling the blanket away, she gently shook her madam.

"Miss Blair, it's time to wake up", she said.

Blair just whined and burrowed herself deeper into her bed. It was nothing new to the nanny as this was a daily routine. Waking the madam took great care and patience since she switched her personalities at any time. She walked to the window and drew the curtains apart letting the sunlight filter into the room. Blair whined again and mumbled something which the Nanny couldn't hear. She walked to her madam and proceeded to wake her up again. Shaking her gently again, she woke her up.

"Five more minutes Nana" Blair said cutely.It was then the Nanny knew she had switched back to her child personality; Honey. She only called her Nana when Honey had taken over. "No little one, we have to wake up. You know it takes hours for you to get ready" she said.

Blair turned to face her and yawned cutely. She opened her eyes to look at her nanny. She raised her hands and blinked at her Nana indicating to pick her up. Nanny Lin chuckled and shook her head. Grabbing her hands, she pulled her into a sitting position causing her to stagger in the process.

"You're getting big now Honey, I can't carry you anymore", Nanny Lin said laughing. Blair mumbled under her breath and turned her legs from the bed and wore her slippers.She guided the sleepy head to the bathroom. While she run the warm bath, Blair stripped off her clothes. Sinking into the bath tub, Blair enjoyed the warm water as her Nana washed her hair.

"May I have my duckies, Nana?" She asked.

"Of course Honey" Nana Lin replied.

She wiped her hands on a towel and went to get Blair's duckies. Putting them in the water, she resumed washing Blair's hair.

"Is there anything you would like to do today?" Nanny Lin asked.

Blair shook her head.

"I just want to stay at home" she replied playing with the ducks.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, please"Nanny Lin let out a sad sigh.

They have been trying to get her out of the mansion ever since the accident. She once had a panic attack by merely standing at the main gate. It had been a tough 15 years ever since the death of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. No one knew what really happened as the only witness was the little madam. She had refused to speak about the accident. When she was forced, she stayed mute for 10 years and only communicated by writing on notepads. It was so bad to a degree that her therapist gave up on her. But Nanny Lin never stopped trying. She observed her madam so much that she knew when she switched personalities. It had been tough for the past years but events there had been progress.

She rinsed out the shampoo from Blair's long curly hair and wrapped into a big fluffy towel. She proceeded to get Blair's robe.

"You can get out of the water now Honey" Nanny Lin said opening the robe for her to wear it.

Blair got up and turned to put her hands through the robe. She stepped out of the tub and wiped her feet on the soft carpet by the bathtub. Nanny Lin helped her in brushing her teeth and they left the bathroom to get the little madam ready. The room was spotless when they got back. Toys were packed back into their boxes and the bed was well laid with the stuffed animals neatly arranged. Blair settled down on her dresser and two more servants joined to help Nanny Lin get their madam ready. After two hours of brushing and combing the wild locks, they put it into two low ponytails. They dressed her in a sea blue sundress and a straw hat as she requested to have her breakfast in the garden. Blair skipped happily down the stairs with the servants running after her to make sure she doesn't fall.

"Miss Honey, please be careful on the stairs, you might fall" said one of the servants.

Nanny Lin chuckled and proceeded to clean up the dresser.When Blair got down the stairs, she rushed to the backdoor in the kitchen to go to the garden. She greeted the servants in the kitchen and left the kitchen. When she reached the garden, she saw the gardener planting new sunflowers in the garden. She run towards him and crouched down looking at the flowers in a fascinated manner.

"Where did you get those, Mr. Ben?" She asked.

"From the flower shop in town" he replied smiling softly.
