Chapter 14: iGet Practice

Twelve year old Rachel Benson couldn't help but smile these days. She was going to be an aunt, her older sister Paige was pregnant.

'She and Lloyd are over the moon, it's...it's amazing.' She thought to herself. 'Lucas is so excited about becoming an uncle too.'

She thought that as she observed her four year old brother enter the room.

"Rach." He said suddenly as he spotted her, hurrying over.

She smiled. "Yeah?"

Lucas bit his lip. "I was, wondering...about Paige and the baby..."

He then explained what he had been thinking and Rachel's eyes widened.
"That's...good point." She agreed. "We'll need practice for when our niece or nephew gets here."

Lucas nodded and Rachel began to wonder, they would need help of course, but they'd still have to learn what to do. Having shared the idea with their parents, who were quite enthusiastic about their plans, they soon found themselves in just such a situation.

Rachel had some level of experience taking care of babies as she helped her parents with Lucas when he was born, but still Carly and Freddie did their best to ensure both of them got practice, knew what they were doing and always ensured they'd be nearby to help.

So it was that Rachel and Lucas found themselves babysitting for their next door neighbour, who was also a friend of Carly's from work. Her name was Chelsea and she smiled widely upon seeing them when she answered the door.

"Hello there."

Rachel grinned. "Hi Mrs. Maddox."

The red-headed woman let them in and led them through to the living room where her baby girl, Robin was playing with her toys.

"Now, I know you two will be good, so don't worry." Chelsea said kindly. "I also know Carly and Freddie are just next door; but I have faith that the two of you will be okay and will take good care of Robin."

Rachel grinned, pleased with Chelsea's trust in them. Meanwhile, Lucas smiled gently as he approached the baby girl.

"Hi there." He said kindly.

Robin looked up and bit her lip, replying shyly. "Hi."

"It's okay Robin." Chelsea reassured her daughter when Lucas reached for her.

"Mama?"

She nodded and Robin smiled, letting Lucas pick her up.

So it was, some time later, that the two were hard at work, taking care of Robin. Such as right now, while Rachel was trying to change the baby girl's diaper.

"It's okay Robin." Rachel began before sighing. "Oh boy."

She couldn't help but shake her head, turned out Robin was ticklish as she began moving as Rachel changed her, giggling. However she soon finished and grinned.

"There we go."

Robin also grinned. "Thank you."

"Awww." Rachel couldn't deny, that touched her greatly.

Lucas stayed to look after Robin while Rachel went to wash her hands. Smiling up at Lucas Robin raised her arms, indicating she wanted picked up. He did so and cradled her.

"Wow."

Lucas looked up, Rachel had returned.

"What?" He asked.

"She likes you." Rachel said pointing.

Robin had snuggled into Lucas' arms, grasping his shirt. He laughed softly, noting Rachel was right.

When Chelsea returned it was to find Lucas waiting while Rachel put the sleeping Robin in her crib.

"Hi." Lucas greeted her.

Chelsea grinned. "Hello Lucas, so, how did you guys do?"

"Fine." He replied. "It was fun for all of us."

Rachel entered at that point. "Hi there."

Chelsea nodded to her. "Thank you for this."

They both grinned and after talking for a while longer, made their way home, Freddie smiled warmly as he spotted them coming in.

"Hey, how'd it go?"

"Great." Rachel replied.

Lucas nodded. "Uh-huh, I think we're ready."

They all grinned at that, overjoyed and hopeful.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
