Julie's POV

"Julie, come get your baby." Mrs. Martin called from the front of the classroom.

Julie exchanged a grin with Flynn, pushing out of her desk and approaching the teacher, who was holding out a robotic baby doll.

Her health class was doing a child care project where all of the students had to take home a baby for two weeks. (The old standard of the 'mother' and 'father' pairing up had been done away with when kids started getting pregnant from enforced alone time). The baby acted as a normal human, and if you neglected its needs that would show up on a site linked to the robot. She also knew that some were programmed to be worse than others, to cry more, or have to eat more often, and so forth.

Julie prayed her doll would be a wonder child.

She took her baby and its bag of necessities back to her seat. Slipping into her chair, she studied the little girl.

Mrs. Martin said she would try to pair the dolls as close to them as possible, and she wasn't kidding. The baby was practically Julie. Dark curly hair, dark eyes, and caramel skin. She was beautiful, Julie decided with a sudden motherly adoration. She swaddled her baby while Flynn rejoined her with a doll, a little boy that was also the spitting image of his 'mother'.

"Aw, our kids can grow up best friends and fall in love some day!" Flynn smiled.

"Sure." She said sarcastically. "All we would do is compete for favorite grandma."

"Oh honey there wouldn't be any competition." A smug hair flip.

She helped Flynn brainstorm names, the other girl eventually settling on Jace, which she thought suited him. Julie, however, didn't need help. From the moment she saw the baby she knew her name was Rosie. It reminded her of her mom.

Mrs. Martin was going over the standard—and sometimes unnecessary—precautions, like "don't put the baby in the bath," or, "don't put it in the oven." When Jace started crying Flynn had a moment of panic before their teacher showed her how to check off the boxes and determine what the baby needed. She explained how they might even learn to understand the need simply by the type of crying.

When Julie walked into the garage that afternoon she cleared her throat loudly to get the guys' attention.

They all gave her small smiles and greetings before quizzical looks at the fact that she was hiding something under her shirt.

"Guys, I'm pregnant." She declared with dramatic effect.

Alex and Luke just gave her 'what the hell' kind of looks; Reggie took it too seriously, gasped, and stood up, gaping at Luke outrageously.
