THE PRINCESS RACE | ZB1 RICKY FF

12.

To say Elise was worried is an understatement.
She was actually terrifed.

Looking at the sleeping twins in her selected stroller, Elise bit her lip before standing up and dusting herself off.

"Whatever! Two babies is nothing!" Elise screamed to no one particular as her twins started to whine, Elise jumped bending down to hush them down.

The intercom shrieked again.
"Contestants get ready." The intercom announced as Elise stood behind her stroller at the starting line, Quànrui looked at her intrigued with Zhanghao next to him.

"Does she have twins? Oh that's gonna be hard." Zhanghao stated blankly as Quànrui let out a low deep chuckle. "She'll be fine." Quànrui simply said as Zhanghao side eyed him.

"It seems that contestant Elizabeth has a pickle on her hands, she has twins this challenge won't be a smooth sail for her." Sang zhi commented as Hanbin nodded "She's gonna have to be smart in order to succeed." Hanbin added on.

Elise stood behind the starting line as she held onto the stroller tightly, taking a deep breath.

"It's gonna be fine..." Elise whispered to herself. Rahne fixed her hair looking at Elise before smirking. Jeongeui held onto the yellow stroller her assigned colour.

"3,2,1..." the intercom ranged out as Elise heart dropped. The horn went off as the contestants started to run. Elise looked at her sound  monitor to see it was 102p and groaned internally, her babies couldn't keep quiet.

"Shhhh guys, I'll get something for you two." Elise said to the twins who moved around, clearly uncomfortable.

The contestants ended up at the first stop which were baby bottles filled up with warm formula milk. Elise watched a contestant let go of her stroller before the intercom shrieked.

"Contestant Lao has been eliminated."

The contestants snapped their heads to Lao who screamed as she was being removed by the royal guards, her legs kicking up in the air.

Elise widened her eyes.

She can't let go of her stroller no matter what.

Holding her stroller with one hand, Elise grabbed two small baby bottles and bended down to her twins. Analysing them, Elise figured out they couldn't be older than 5 months and one was a boy the other was a girl.

The boy was fussing the most increasing the sound monitor. Looking between the sound monitor and the baby boy and the bottles in her hand, Elise felt her head spin.

"Elise! Mary is crying!" Her mother screamed out from the bathroom as Elise read a comic book in her bedroom, she stood up and ran to Mary's nursery seeing her squirm and wail her heart out. Elise fiddled with her hands confused as she reached for her bottle and put it in Mary's mouth. Mary refused the bottle only causing her to cry out even louder.

"Mom! She won't stop crying what nust i do?" Elise screamed out as her mother sighed inside the bathroom. "Take her baby blanket." Mrs Okayu ordered, Elise grabbed the soft white material "Yeah i got it." Elise confirmed.

"Grab Mary and place her on your back." Mrs Okayu ordered, Elise looked down at Mary slightly debating as her wails got louder. "Did you do what i told you?" Mrs Okayu questioned as Elise shook her thoughts away and picked up Mary softly by her armpits and placed her on her back. "Yeah i did." Elise said as Mary started crying on her back.

"Wrap the blanket around your middle and walk around with Mary, it will calm her down."

"25 minutes left" the intercom ringed out bringing Elise back to reality as she looked around and saw the contestants gone from the first station. A wide smile flashed on her face.
