The Royal Test

Baby time..

Tiana was gone now too. I wasn't her friend but it still sucked watching them drain her almost dry. The next day came to quick and I just exercised most the day away building my body use to doing more each day. I got myself up to 20 miles without stopping. It was unbelievable.
When Monday came I was happy to get busy so I didn't think about it. When I got to chai time I was surprised to see Daylen there.
"This weeks lesson is all about patience. You will get a fake baby to care for all week. Even when your training your to stop and care for it if needed. Your still expected to be on time and to treat your child right. If you mistreat it it will alert us." He handed me a baby, and guess what, it's a girl. "Congrats it's a girl." He said.
"Did u have to memorize that to tell every girl the same thing?" I laughed.
"Sort of." He smiled. As soon as he did thought was gone. "Now sit we are playing chess today, while you care for your child."
"Ain't this supposed to represent OUR child?" I asked hoping to throw him off his game. I heard him cough.
"I guess." He said and set up the chess board. After I beat him 6 times while feeding and changing the baby he dismissed me. I knew this was gonna be a long week.

I was so happy when it was time to eat. I met Tonya at the table and I saw her with a baby as well. She looked up and laughed.
"You look about how I feel, tired and like you want to beat the hell out of this plastic doll." She laughed and I laughed with her.
"Pretty much. It feels weird without Lucy here still." I frowned and so did Tonya.
"Yeah I know, I feel bad for winning last week, I'm also scared to lose now." She looked down.
"Hey don't worry either me or you will win and your the only person I would be happy to beat me." I smiled and she looked up and laughed.

The rest of the week went by extremely slow, talk about having to have patience. Although I barely slept, I felt like I really had a kid, my motherly instincts kick in on this baby doll. Probably because of last weeks simulations but what could I do you know? The worst part was giving the baby back at the end of the week because I had gotten use to it. I hate to see what tomorrow's challenge was gonna be.
