The Baby Project

Chapter 5

Nick's POV

I don't get girls. They confuse me. I mean one minute they're hot the next they're cold. Actually, scratch that I don't get Frankie, she claims to be a 'bad girl' but when she's around Sebastian and Ariel she is the softest person I've ever seen.

The day we nearly kissed I stopped talking to her because I know if we kissed she'd pretend it didn't happen and we'd go back to the beginning where I stutter and she tells me off like she's my mum.

Enough about that, let's talk about Sebastian. I mean the kid is awesome, he's so cute and I love him already but I can't get too attached because I know Frankie won't want to keep the two of them after the end of this year and I can't look after them by myself.

And don't even get me started on Ariel. She is the tiniest baby I've ever seen and she's honestly so cute, I'm already protective of her like if any boy, who isn't her brother, ever goes near her I will personally beat the shit out of them, no joke.

The day at the park was strange. Lewis and I were having a normal conversation when suddenly Frankie comes out of nowhere and drags Lewis away because she needs to 'talk' with him. I mean come one if she liked the guy that's all she had to say, it's not like I like her or anything and from what Lewis was saying I don't think Olivia likes him either so they can get with each other.

I mean even if I did like her she scares me and I don't think it'd work because she's so intense and I'm not because I can actually control myself when it comes to my feelings but she just lets hers all out without a care in the world. I wish I could do that but I'd lose control, it's taken me this long to control it and I can't just let that all go to waste after the therapy, meetings and medicine.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I need to go to the pharmacy and pick up my prescription because I've run out...If you are wondering what tablets I'm going on about, I have to take these pills to calm my ADHD.

Oh and if you think ADHD is bad enough I also have a heart condition where when I get angry my heart goes into overdrive and I have to take pills to calm it down.

So I might as well explain what's happening with college whilst we are looking after the children and working at our new jobs. Basically, we have to do most of our lessons online but every Friday we have to go in with the children so that the teachers can make sure they are safe and aren't being neglected or hurt in any way. Any after college activities are still on so if anyone does football, basketball, dance or cross country etc, they can still participate but the teachers will understand if we don't turn up.

If you don't turn up on Friday's the college will look into the situation and do something about it. Also if someone does neglect their selected child/children another student has the opportunity to take in the child otherwise they go back to the adoption centre. But I honestly don't get how someone could harm a child in any way, whether it be emotionally or physically.

*One week later*

It's been a week since the park and after I talked some sense into Lewis he finally apologised to Olivia and they are quite close now but I still hate the guy but as long as she's happy I guess it's alright.

It's also been three weeks since we've had the children and they are the best little children ever, well they are cute when they aren't crying, screaming or grumpy, except Seb is the cutest when grumpy because his small little face scrunches up and he goes all quiet.

Nick and I have been getting closer, well I mean it's hard not to since we both live together and have to look after both of the children, also it's not like I can just blank him and pretend he doesn't exist, plus he's got an alright personality and looks hella fit.
