The Baby Project

chapter 8

"Kelly, Rockel!" said the lady. "Yes that is us", muttered Rockel. "You can follow me, your counselor is waiting to see you." "Can't wait.", hesitated Kelly. They walked in a long narrow hallway full of baby pictures. They saw twins, girls, boys all shapes and sizes. It excited then that this place didn't make them feel different about what they are going through. "What time is Kyle suppose to show? " ,asked Rockel. "He should be here any minute." , said Kelly. They say down in with a beach blonde lady. She seemed kind of young at first, but according to the diplomas on the wall she wasn't. "Hi, you must be Rockel and Kelly, I'm Dr.Johnson nice to meet the both of you. It is very rare for two girls to come at once. Most girls want to do this alone or pretend like it doesn't exist. I'm glad you guys are sticking by each other and doing this together.", said Dr.Johnson. "Thank you, we have the same baby father, so it's no surprise we are friends. " said Kelly. "Well no matter the circumstances, I'm glad you two have someone to lean on. " said Dr.Johnson. Just then Kelly's phone began to ring. The caller id said Kyle, Kelly wasn't surprised but still annoyed. "Come outside now." , demanded Kyle. Kelly hung up quickly. "Can you excuse me for a minute, I'm sorry Dr.Johnson.", Kelly said. "No problem just hurry back so we can get started on placement.", said Dr.Johnson. Kelly ran out the room, and down the long hallway. As soon has she got out she saw Kyle right in front of his car. "You wanted to meet here? Why?" , said Kyle. "Me and Rockel are joining the Baby Project." ,said Kelly. "You could've told me. I'll support this if that means I don't have to see them.", Kyle said. "Them? Them are your children we created, stop referring them to them as "them" because you definitely had a large part in creating these children.", yelled Kelly. "whatever" , muttered Kyle. You know what just come in here, and hear about the project so you at least have something to do with them." Kelly said. They both walked back into the center and back into the room with Rockel and Dr.Johnson. "hey", muttered Rockel. "hey", Kyle muttered back. "You must be the father, I'm Dr.Johnson your counselor." "Hey I'm Kyle father to all the babies." he said. "stupid we know, that why we are here." , whispered Rockel. "Well let's get started, first we do placement. Placement is where we compare your lifestyle and try to send you to one of our parenting group home that is most similar. We don't want you to feel like you have changed everything in your life. So we try to make you feel comfortable. We will have you take a test. But one thing I want to warn you about is that you might now be in the same house as your friend. Actually you can be states away." "Really?" , questioned Kelly. "Yes, that's why we don't expect many friends to come here together because we don't want to separate them." said Dr.Johnson.  "Okay we will take that risk", said Rockel. "Yes, we really want to be in this program.", said Kelly. "Well okay I will schedule you a placement test for next weekend, is that okay?" "Of course.", said Kelly. "Yeah the sooner they get away and take those babies with them the better", said Kyle. "Okay.", said Dr.Johnson. "I will see you girls here same time next weekend. Have a great day, and take care of those precious babies.", said Dr.Johnson. They all walked out. Kyle went to his car and drove away, as fast as he could. Rockel and Kelly didn't say anything the whole way home, because they knew this could be the beginning of the end.
