Rika entered the science lab and sat down nest to Jeri, the teacher came in and sat down "ok class for the rest of the year we will have lab groups these groups will consist of 4 people 2 females and 2 males I have already chosen the groups 1st group consist of Shantiel, Henry, Alice and Kenta, the 2nd group will consist of Amanda, James, Baz and Jess. 3rd group will consist of Jeri, Takato, Ryo and Rika" said the teacher. He started handing out the first assignment for the year "now you all know that its important to know what it feels like to have a family before you actually have one, now in pairs you'll be with in you lab group of course you will take care of a robotic baby for 3 weeks, when you've decided on your partner please come up and collect your miracle" said the teacher "hey Jeri you wanna be my partner?" asked Takato "I love to" said Jeri smiling causing Takato to blush.

"Looks like it's you and me wildcat" said Ryo winking at her "just great" muttered Rika "so will take my name or are you keeping yours?" asked Ryo again winking at her "I'll go get the baby and you wait here" said Rika getting up. Rika came back holding a small pink bundle "I thought we were ganna get a boy" said Ryo looking disappointed "well you thought wrong" said Rika "well I'm not so great with girls names so will you do the honors?" asked Ryo "Ashanti" said Rika "nice choice" said Ryo "meet me in the cafeteria, we'll discuss our parenting duties then" said Rika "well I can't take her next period, I've got track and field" said Ryo "I'll take her to culinary with me" said Rika picking her up and cradling the baby as she began to cry "can you do me a favour and go collect the baby-bag and the carrier?" asked Rika "back in a flash" said Ryo. Ryo came back with the bag and carrier and put Ashanti in the carrier. "See you at lunch I've gotta go" said Rika grabbing the bag and carrier and running out of the class.
