I tried to follow what my math teacher was saying but it was kind of hard seeing as how I was half awake. I took out my note book and started writing almost everything the teacher was saying. Man, I am kind of out of it still. Maybe I can get Derek to take my to Starbucks during lunch. What is he saying? Focus Casey! Before I knew it the bell rang and everyone began packing up. "Wiat, Mr. Daniels you forgot to give us our homework," I raised my hand. Everyone groaned in annoyance. He lifted his hand to make it quiet again. "Don't worry Ms. McDonald I didn't forgt you just don't have any homework tonight. Merry Christmas," he smiled when everyone cheered this time. It isn't Christmas its almost summer. Oh well at least its more sleep I'll get tonight.

I watched as everyone raced out of the room like he was going to change his mind. I was the last one out and as soon as I walked out Emily was by my side. I looked at her and say a creepy doll in her hands with its eyes closed. it had on a pink cap and was doing a cute baby snore. "Aww," I smiled at her being nice. "I know right! And look who is my partner," she turned around. Sheldon was standing there with another baby with a blue cap on. "Sheldon!" She fake smiled at him.

"Christian gets to work with Amy the cheerleader one," she pointed to them laughing and playing with a cuter doll. "Are they all differnt," I turned to her. "Yeah! Ms. Maldonado said no baby is alike and some people get twin like us and some get 1. I think only Max and Lindsey had triplets." I laughed evilly remembering my ex boyfriend and how he is stuck with triplets. Its what he gets. "Who do you want to be with," Emily bounced the baby. "I'm not sure but I hope I get twins like you. Your so lucky!" "Not even close. They are so hard to take care of and this means Sheldon and I have to spend every single minute together," Emily gave me a helpless look. "Isn't that great," Sheldon put his arm on her shoulder. Emily nodded then gasped. "Where's the baby?!" We looked down at the floor to see a crying baby on the floor with its eyes open and water dripping out. I covered my mouth to hid my laugh. "Why are they so creepy," I asked her. "She wanted them to be as life like as possible. Blinking, able to have tears, baby sounds, fake poop and pee, and if we talk to it a lot they might say a word."

"Sounds like fun," I clapped. I always love a chellenge and kids. What could be cooler. I could get my baby to say mama, dress her up, play with her and I want a boy two. Twins. Man, this IS exciting. I smiled brightly. "I have to go to class I want to meet my baby. Good luck," I patted her shoulder and laughed at sheldon who was singing and making funny faces at the baby.

I rushed off to put my books away and was the first one to arrive in class. The bell rang and everyone came after. I was about to take my note book out again when I noticed Ms. Maldonado passing out papers. I looked at the top of the sheet and saw the word Baby at the top. "Okay class I am sure you have either heard or seen the babies around school. And they got those babies in this class. Taking care of these babies will also count for 40 of your grade so make sure you do a good job. On thes paper it talks about the assignement and why I am giving it to you. Its so you learn responsibility and yada yada yada lets get to the good part," Ms. Maldonado clapped her hands.

I smiled. ms. Maldonado is like one of us and she is really cool about everything. She trusts us and talks to us in a way that makes you want to listen. "You will given a partner by picking a name out of the and you can not get a 'divorce' with your partner or be a single parent. I want absolutely no complaints." "Then you will pick out of this other hat of how many kids you will be having. Since you don't get to chose that either. Think of everything as an accident in Vegas with a random guy or girl and getting a baby. Your parents of corse will have to sign papers that you andr partner can be together all the time to work on this. yes, like a sleepover." Some people laughed and snickered. "I want you to take care of this baby like you would a real baby and just so you know I can hear everything you say or do because there is a microchip in it that records everything you say!"

She grabbed her hat and started down the first row. When you picked a name out of the hat you had to say it out loud and sit by your partner. I wonder who I will be partnered with. I looked around the class at everyone. maybe I will be with Sam he is pretty cool. Yeah we had some problems in the past but this could fix that. I also watched as people went to sit by their partner either looking happy or looking like they were walking to their death. It was Sam's turn. Please pick my name, please pick my name. "Kelsey," he smiled. A blond girl with huge boobs walked over next to him with a big smile on her face. Dang it. Derek looked at his paper and sighed. I bet he has to work with his ex Kendra. Hopefull y he needs to learn a lesson.

"Casey," he said. my jaw dropped. DEREK! I can't be with Derek. That means we have to spend every minute together. Maybe he is lying like that other time. He isn't my 'babies' daddy. Ms. Maldonado looked over at me. "Casey are you okay? You look pale." "Yeah I am fine," I said slowly getting up and sitting next to Derek. "hey Derek," I whispered. He didn't even hear me because he was too caught up in his game of spit ball with Sam. "Stop!" Derek turned to me and aimed the straw at me. I ripped the straw right out of his hands and threw it in the trash prefectly. "Nice one Casey," Sam laughed.

"What the hell?! I was still using that!" "Don't swear at me Derek. We are about to receive a kid to take care of for a week and I will not allow you to swear around it or consider youself not a parent." "You can't get divorce with me," Derek teased. "No I just will tell the teacher that I had to take care of it by myself and you can get an F. didn't george say something about that too?" "Whatever Princess. I can stop swearing easy." I rolled my eyes and slumped in my seat. He had to pick my name. The teacher cleared her throat and everyone gave her their attention.

"Thank you. Now who is ready to get their baby?" We all cheered and she laughed. "Okay and to make this go faster I have decided who gets how many kids just off my head." "I hope we get two," I whispered. "What are you crazy? We can't handle two kids!" The teacher went around with a big bucket full of dolls that she seemed to be choosing special for each group. Derek started poking me with his pencil. "Derek, how old are you?" "Older than you. Wait, let my tap it out," he started poking me and counting out loud. "Don't make me snap your pencil in half." "Ohh feisty." "Just shut up and act your age." "Maybe you need to act your age too. Your way to serious." "I can be un serious," I stopped wondering if that was even a word. Great, he is rubbing off on me.

"Please when is the last time you had some actual fun?" The teacher smiled standing in front of us. "Why hello there happy couple mother nature has decided to leave you two a lovely present.," She said plopping a cute baby girl doll with blue eyes on my desk. "Happy couple? Dude we are step siblings," Derek sounded annoyed. "Well you two could be a couple." Derek made a gagging noise and I shook my head. "Its insent." "Actually its not because you two don't consider each other family and you are not blood related. If you were I would be fired from my job. "Good luck," she smiled and went to the next 'couple'.

I looked down at the now crying baby on my desk. It was starting to get louder since more babies were starting to cry. "Okay well now I am going to let you all bound with your kids while I go get a drink," she said leaving the room. I was starting to get pissed off because of the screaming. "How do you shut it p," Derek yelled over the noise. "I'm not sure," I picked up the doll and started rocking it in my arms. "here let me try," Derek took her from me and started banging her on the desk. i tried not to laugh but a smile came on my desk it just looked terrible. "DE-REK," I yelled at him coming back to reality.

"You have to treat it like if it was a real baby," I took the doll back. "That is how I would treat a real baby," Derek smirked. It was starting to quiet down as people figured out how to calm there doll baby. "If that is then you would be in jail for child abuse." Derek said something I couldn't understand so I ignored it and began rocking the baby again. Soon she fell asleep and one by one it was quiet. No one dared to speak in case all the babies woke up again. "What should we name him," I heard Sam whisper to Kelsey. "What about Sam Junior?" Sam beamed, he found his dream girl.

Derek had been watcihng too and looked at our baby smiling at it. "hello Derek junior." I rolled my eyes. His arm kept brushing mine because he kept playing with baby gently touching uit. It made me feel tingly and weird and I wanted to move my arm but I couldn't in case i woke the baby. " Its a girl," I whispered angerily. "I know that." "What I mean is that her name is NOT going to be Derek Junior," I hissed.
