The Baby Tracys

Summary: five little stories, of what the boys would do, when they were in high school and had baby think it over (the computer operated baby).

Chapter one

Scott (Part one)

"Okay today we draw for our weekend babies," Mr. Right said as he turned to the table lined with the computer controlled babies and the baby supplies, next to that stood another table with the bowl that held the names of the students and which baby they were getting.

Fifteen year old Scott Tracy slumped in his chair, he had been dreading this, it wasn't that he didn't know anything about babies. He had four younger brothers, no he knew about babies, it was just the fact he was getting graded for it and that it was going to take his weekend that he was not looking forward to.

Mr. Right started to call off names, each time the student was called they would come up, and Mr. Right would give them the baby he had assigned them. Finally Scott's name was called, "Scott Tracy," Scott slowly walked up to Mr. Right and stood in front of him like a soldier called to war. Mr. Right smiled, "Come on Scott, cheer up, this won't be too bad," he said as he tied the hospital style daddy bracelet to Scott's wrist.

Scott sighed, "It would be better if my brothers and parents could help me with it."

"Then you wouldn't learn the point of the lesson would you?" Mr. Right asked as he walked over to the baby table, Scott followed.

"I know, I know," Scott said as he slung his backpack over his shoulder.

"You might want to put both straps on, you're going to have a lot to carry," Mr. Right pointed out.

Scott looked at the table and nodded and put the other strap over his other shoulder.

"Okay, you have the diaper bag, which has diapers, the bottle, and the blanket in it," he handed it to Scott, Scott put it over his shoulder, "You have the folded stroller which can attach to your backpack like this," He snapped it onto the loop of Scott's backpack. "Finally you have the car seat and the baby," Mr. Right pulled the handle on the car seat up and handed it to Scott, Scott took it and looked down at the baby, it had a note attached to it that read: "Hi, daddy, I'm your little boy." Scott gave into a smile, "At least it's a boy" Scott thought as he headed for the door as Mr. Right opened it.

"Thanks," Scott said as he left.

Mr. Right smiled, "Don't worry Scott; the weekend will be over before you know it."

"I know," Scott said but deep down he didn't know if it was true.

Scott struggled into the car and buckled the car seat into the back seat with two of his younger brothers, nine year old Gordon and eleven year old Virgil hide their giggles behind their hands, and Scott glared at them as their mother turned to face the younger boys from the driver's seat.

"Boys don't laugh at your brother," Lucy Tracy said.

"We're not laughing mom," they mumbled together.

"Of course you're not," Lucy said with a small smile.

Scott huffed as he slammed the back door shut and climbed into the front seat.

"Since when do you wear a bracelet?" Virgil asked seeing the blue band around his brother's wrist.

"It's my "Daddy bracelet," I can only take care of the baby when I check in with the bracelet," Scott said and then turned to the younger boys as they opened their mouths, "NOT A WORD! Not-a-word."

"Scott, please pass the peas to your brothers," Lucy said as she took her seat at the dinner table.

"I hate peas," Alan wined.

"Alan, you are going to eat your peas you hear me young man?" Jeff said looking at their youngest boy.

"Yes sir," Alan said quietly.

"Scott your baby's crying," John said as he sat down.

"I know John, he just started crying, give me a second to get up, for crying out loud," Scott said then it hit him what he had just said, giving Gordon a perfect chance for…

"Yeah he is crying out loud, go feed him daddy," Gordon said with a laugh.

Scott growled as he got up and went to pick up the computerized baby, "its okay, its okay, wait a minute; what am I doing?" he said to himself as he picked up the doll.

"You're talking to your baby like you are suppose to," Lucy said with a smile.

"His not my baby mom, his not real," Scott said as he ran his "Daddy bracelet" over the back of the doll.

"He may not be real Scott, but you are supposed to treat him like a real baby right?" Jeff asked.

"Right," Scott said as he continued to feed the doll.

……………………………………

"Good night Scott," Lucy and Jeff said at the door.

"Good night mom, night dad," Scott said as he turned off the light.

Suddenly crying broke the night silence, Scott blinked and groaned when he saw what time it was, midnight, he had only be asleep for two hours. Scott sighed as he sat up and looked at the car seat that was beside his bed. This was going to be a long night.
