Greetings to all of you. Here I bring you Chapter 5 and the second part of the egg dilemma. Without much more to add, let's start with this.

Chapter 5: Teamwork Misfortune (part 2)
A few days later. While Gil was executing his plan to fix his big dilemma, we will look at another team. We can see Goby a little tired from watching his egg all these days. Her older brother brought home their three young children. I mean, Goby's nephews were home. Goby was all these days watching that they did not break anything in the house, especially his egg. Those children are very hyperactive. During this week, someone decided to go to Goby's house. This received this person, when opening the door, it was ... she.
"Oh...Hi, Deema" Goby greeted with a fake smile.
"Goby? Why do you have those dark circles? Did you sleep well?" Deema asked worried about him. He looked very tired.
"Oh this? My brother brought his children here. Nothing to worry about" Goby said.
"But look at you! You are a mess. I imagine you are taking care of them and the egg at the same time" Deema added worried "Goby, you should rest. I can take care of the egg. After all, it is our job"
"Don't worry, Deema. I can take this a few more days" Goby said. That caused the blonde some anger.
"I see. You don't trust me and you don't think about giving me Amber. You think I can't be responsible with a simple egg Do you think I'm an irresponsible fool?" Deema said angrily.
"No it's not what you think….I...I…." Goby tried to explain his position.
"So why did you ask me if you wanted to be your partner? I thought you did it because you wanted to take care of it with me. I thought you wanted to be with me. But I see that I was wrong" Deema said it sadly.
"Deema…."
"Well, do as you please. You can tell the teacher that you did it all by yourself and you will still pass. After all, you preferred to do it alone instead of working as a team. I don't even know why I bother. I'm leaving" Saying that, she quickly left.
"Deema! Wait!..." Goby shouted. But she didn't care. Goby took his egg and began to reflect on what he had done during these days "(sigh) What have I been doing, my little Amber? I thought she would be better with me because I didn't think she was capable. But now I feel bad. She wanted to do it with me and I did not allow it. Well, it's time to fix things with "your mommy"...I guess…" Goby told it to the egg. He quickly went looking for Deema at her own house.
On his way he had to go through the park to get there a little fast. During his walk through the park he found a couple who were carrying a small baby car. Goby recognized them both.
"Oona? Nonny?" Goby asked confused.
"Oh..hi Goby" Oona said.
"Hi" Nonny added.
"What exactly are you two doing?" Goby asked again.
"Oh...We only take our babies for a walk" Oona said with a smile.
"It is healthy that we go out at least once a day for a walk outside with the babies" Nonny added.
"Babies?" Goby was more confused.
"Yeah. The eggs. We asked the teacher if we can take care of two at the same time. She accepted. Well, I consider that Nyomi felt lonely. So we decided to take another egg and make a new little brother" Oona explained.
"The other is a boy. We call him "Darren". It means "little noble"...in irish" Nonny commented.
"Emmmm right…..Anyway. Have you seen Deema?" Goby asked.
"Mmmmm no...I didn´t see her lately" Oona answered. Nonny just shook his head.
"Well….Thank you anyway. Good luck with both eggs. You must be twice as careful" Goby said before he was leaving.
"Very well. Take good care" Oona said. Nonny moved his hand "I think we are doing it very well, Nonny"
"Yes. I think so" Nonny answered.
"Hey! Let's go to my house to take care of these little ones" Oona recommended. He just obeyed her and both of them go to Oona´s house.
While this was going on, we will return to Gil's house where a certain boy was fixing his mess. At that moment, someone knocks on the door. Gil goes out to receive that visit. It was Molly.
"Hello, Gil. I regret not having responded earlier. But I was very busy and I couldn't write to you" Molly apologized.
"Don´t worry, Molly. Everything is okay" Gil answered sweating a little.
"By the way. Do you have "Gil Jr" with you?" Molly asked "Remember we must deliver it tomorrow"
"Oh...this...emmm….He is….right here" Gil said nervous. He showed the egg. But something strange has that egg. Molly started to inspect a little.
"Gilly…...Don't you notice something ... different ... in Gil Jr?" Molly asked with some confusion.
"Nope….I see it normally. Nothing strange….Why do you ask that?" Gil answered sweating more than before.
"I see it bigger than usual. Mmmmmm I should check it out a little more" Molly commented. But her friend stopped him.
"It must be nothing. We can do something in the meantime …" Gil said nervous.
"Gil….."
"Oh oh I know. We can watch some movies….and the egg can stay with us….." Gil added pretending to be excited.
"Gil…"
"Or I don't know ... what you want to do" Gil commented. But she stopped him.
"GIL!" Molly shouted.
"Emmmm….What's the matter?" Gil asked nervous.
"Gil….What's going on? First the egg looks strange and now you act very suspicious. Tell me what happened" Molly asked him.
"(Gil...remember. If I tell her...She is going to kill me….Or worse, I can lost her forever)" Gil thought this remembering what Devil Gil said to him.
"Gilly….you can tell me the truth. If you are honest with me, I will not be angry with you" Molly comforted him.
"It is what you say now. If I tell you, you will change your mind" Gil said worried.
"We are friends, nothing could change that" Molly added. He just sighted and decided to confess.
"Well…...okay….I….I….I…..I broke Gil Jr" Gil confessed covering his face.
"Huh?...You…..WHAT!?" Molly was shocked.
"I...I...can explain it!...It was an accident...I swear" Gil explained very scared.
"Gil….It was too important to us!...Now what shall we tell the teacher? We both fail and I WILL SWEEP THE FLOOR WITH YOU, GIL GORDON!" Molly shouted angrily.
"I´m so sorry, Molly. Do to me what you want but please don't hate me and I don't want to lose you forever!" Gil began to kneel down and beg her forgiveness. In that instant, she lowered her anger. So much so that it changed her annoying tone to a confused one.
"Wait a moment, what are you talking about?" Molly asked confused.
"I thought that if I told you the truth, you would be very angry with me and that we would stop being friends forever. I'm a fool who always screw up. One with a lot of bad luck. I am the worst companion and the worst father for a simple egg" Gil confessed sadly. Molly saw him and she felt bad for him.
"Gilly…..That has nothing to do with our friendship. You may be foolish and very unlucky. And yes, maybe now I'm upset with you. But that doesn't mean I don't want you to be my friend. These things always happen. But why do you think we are still friends? We always look for ways to keep going despite everything. And that is what we have to do now" Molly explained calmer than before.
"Mmmm yeah…..You're right….Maybe….We have a solution…."Gil said.
"What is it...Gil?" Molly asked.
"Well….I will not like it but ... it is the best for both of us" Gil told it with a seriously tone.
Now we will return with Goby. He was already arriving at Deema's house. He was left wondering what he had to say to her. Finally, he plucked up his courage, sighed, and walked to the door. But before touching it he heard a sound. He decided to look out the window and saw something that would lead him to change his perspective on his friend. There were two little blond guppies with yellow and orange tails. They were both fighting over something he didn't know yet. At that moment, Deema came to separate them quickly.
"Very well….Daniel, Dylan ... Why are you two fighting?" Deema asked.
"He took my toy car!" Daniel said.
"No...it is MY toy car!" Dylan said. Deema just took the toy "Hey, sister! Give me back!"
"Give me my toy car!" Daniel complained.
"Nope. I won't give it to either of you until you two apologize to each other" Deema ordened. Both brothers saw each other again.
"Sorry, bro!" Both of them said.
"Now...a hug" Deema ordered them again. They did what she said "Better?"
"Yeah...I'm not mad at you anymore, brother" Dylan confessed.
"Me too, bro!" Daniel answered.
"See? Now you can play and you can share your toys without any problem. You must not let any foolish fight separate you. This toy car is from Dylan, since I thought I saw Daniel's in his room. Now go play and I don't want to hear any more fighting. Understood?" Deema said taking responsibility of her little brothers.
"Okay….You´re the best older sister in all the world!" Dylan said.
"Dylan, let´s go! Thanks, sis!" Daniel added.
"Hehehe It's what the older sisters do" Deema answered.
At that moment, Goby understood what Oona had said to him earlier. He was underestimating her. He didn't know that she had a responsible side in taking care of two little brothers while their parents worked. It must be a big responsibility and he didn't let her take care of a simple egg. He was already planning to settle his differences with her right now. He knocked on the door, it didn't take many minutes for Deema to receive him. The first expression did not favor much to say.
"Oh….hi, Goby" Deema said it without much desire to talk to him.
"Hi...Deema….Well….I came here for one reason" Goby said.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"Deema….I´m sorry…." Goby confessed.
"Huh?" Deema was confused now.
"I misjudged you. I thought you couldn't take care of an egg because since you're a little crazy I didn't think you could take something seriously. But now that I saw you how you handle things at home, it made me understand my mistake. I was a fool to carry all this work as a team. Please accept my apology" Goby said it very regretfully. She thought hard to give her answer to him.
"Well you know. You're right that I can be a little crazy and dramatic, but that doesn't mean I can't take things seriously. Being dramatic and outgoing is part of my personality, but I also assume my responsibilities as they should. I accept your apology" Deema answered.
"That's good! Well, tomorrow we finish with this homework. So, do you want to take care of Amber? I´m very tired….If I take care of it longer, I swear I'll make it fried egg" Goby said that.
"Well…..Why not? You should have told me from the first day" Deema giggled a little.
"I know….I know" Goby answered.
It was already the day of the delivery of the task. Several couples were nervous about the teacher's evaluation. Professor Michigan checked each egg to see its condition. He caught some cheating like having cooked the egg to be stronger or swapping the broken egg for another. She would check the couple: Gil and Molly
"Ummmm Gil and Molly….Where is the egg?" Ms. Michigan asked confused. Molly stayed quiet and Gil sighted.
"Teacher…...We don't have the egg because I...broke it accidentally. It was my fault. I don't know if you're going to fail us or I don't know. But ... I'm just asking you not to take away Molly's work points. She worked very good. She is innocent. You can reprobe me " Gil confessed.
"Gilly?!" Molly was shocked. She was not expected to he say that. The teacher didn't say anything for a long time.
"Well (sight) You two approved ... barely" The teacher sentenced.
"Wait! WHAT?!" Both were surprised.
"It seems that the two of you really understood the true meaning of this task. Understand the responsibility of fatherhood and motherhood and how both must work together to achieve it. Taking responsibility for the facts is something that many parents usually do" The teacher said honestly "Also, they all broke their eggs, so I'll have to drop points for everyone. Although I think most will barely pass"
"Ahem ... I don't think so, teacher ... Look at our egg" Deema said with proud. The teacher looked Amber, Goby and Deema´s egg.
"Well….Incredible….It seems that only two groups got all the points for the task. Goby and Deema group and Oona and Nonny group. Goby and Deema managed to keep the egg safe throughout the week" The teacher said.
"This is what happens when you work as a team, right?" Goby said winking at Deema. She blushed a little. He covered her shoulder.
"And I have to acknowledge Oona and Nonny, since they were able to take care of their egg all the time. And also, they took care of another egg" The teacher added.
"I always knew I made a good choice choosing you as a partner" Oona flattered him.
"Well…...I…."Nonny wanted to answer her. But something strange happened. The second egg of Oona and Nonny was moving a little. It didn't take long for it to break just to reveal a cute chick.
"Awwwwwww" Some students said that.
"Than? That's not what I expected" Nonny answered.
"Ohhh Nonny…..That means that that chick is Darren... "our son"..." Oona looked at him coquettishly. She just wanted to joke around a bit.
"That...uhhh….that….Ohhhh" Nonny tried to explain. But he blushed too much and soon he fainted.
"NONNY!" Oona said very worried.
Now with Goby and Deema.
"Hey! Now what do we do with this egg?" Deema asked.
"LET'S MAKE IT OMELETTE! THIS EGG ALMOST MADE ME CRAZY FOR ALL THAT WEEK!" Goby shouted very sick of this egg. She just giggled.
"Well….When we finish we will go to my house to do omelette" Deema said "By the way, where are Gil and Molly?"
At that time, they saw a pursuit.
"But I already told you that I was sorry!" Gil shouted very scared escaping from her.
"Yes ... but I didn't say there would be no consequences, Gil Gordon. COME HERE!" Molly said chasing him to give him a lesson.
"NO! AAAAAHHHHHH" Gil was escaping from her wraith.
This teaches us the value of teamwork. How you can make bad decisions and stupid things, but if you choose the right partner, they can get ahead
