CHAPTER 3: Baby test.
6th July, 2004, 11 years 'B.R.' [Before Riley]
Early the next morning, Jill had gone out and bought a bag of diapers, a baby doll [that resembled Big Baby from Toy Story 3], a car seat, and some other essentials. She set it all up, ready for the baby test.
"OK. We're ready." Jill said. "Ready as we'll ever be." Bill said. The 2 of them hugged tightly. "So..." who's going first?" Bill asked. "Dad always said the fairest way to settle decisions like this is to flip a coin." Jill said. She got out a coin. "OK, loser goes first. Call it in the air!" she said, flipping the coin.
"Heads!" Bill's Emotions said.
"Tails!" Jill's Emotions said.
Jill caught the coin. "Well?" she said. "Heads or tails?" "Tails." Bill said firmly. Jill revealed the coin. "Nope. It's heads." she said.
Bill's Emotions groaned. "Ok. Fine by me." Bill said.
The first step of the test was diaper changing.
"OK. Give me just a moment." Jill said, disappearing into the kitchen. Almost 2 minutes later, she returned with the baby in a heavy-looking diaper. she set it gently down on a tray. "OK. you know what to do." she said. Bill took a deep breath, and gingerly unfastened the diaper. "So far so good." Bill's Anger said. But he spoke too soon, for when Bill opened it, he got such a nasty shock, he almost jumped out of his skin. His Emotions screamed too.
Jill grinned. "I put a tin full of baked beans in there." she said. "To make it look more realistic." Bill's eyes popped wide. "You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you?" Jill said. Bill held his breath, and wiped the doll clean with a cloth, then put a new diaper on, even using tape to fasten it on. "Quite good for the first try." Jill said.
Then, Jill did her go. It was a little messy, but she did alright; almost as good as Bill.
Next was the changing clothes part of the test. Bill had trouble fitting the clothes at first, but got it in the end, and Jill did it perfectly.
Next was the burping part, and Bill had to listen all over the doll [even on it's foot] to find where the burp came from. Eventually, Jill showed him what to do, and they both did it together.
Shortly after that, was the car seat strapping part. Somehow or other, Bill strapped the baby to the car seat - and his arm. Jill found it quite funny, but she did a good job too, of course.
And finally, the most fun part - bathing!
Bill went first with the baby, whilst Jill went to take care of some other things for their new baby. When she came back into the bathroom, she saw Bill had taken off his clothes, and gotten into the bath with the baby. She was shocked at first, but laughed. She thought it was quite hilarious.
An hour later, Bill was ready for the results of the test. "Well..." Jill said, "Despite all the things that happened, well, I guess you can take on the trials & tribulations of the new baby." Jill said.
Bill's Emotions waited with baited breath.
"So that means..." Bill asked nervously.
Jill nodded. "You've passed... with flying colours!"
"Yes!" Bill's Emotions cheered. Bill hugged his wife tightly in happiness. He had never felt more prouder in his life.
I knew Bill would pass the baby test.
Soon, it will be time for the baby shower, which is in the next chapter.
