Bella sat next to me on the couch, with my phone in her hand. I took the phone from her, to find she already had the app store open for me. Mom, I already have the description open for you. Take a look to see if it's something you're interested in,
I started reading the description. 4D Child - It's everything you could ever dream, image, or want as a parent. This app will make you feel as if you're a real mother or father to a 4D child. You're allowed to pick the physical features, the sex, or maybe you would rather the program do it for you. You as the parent, are responsible for raising him/her. They're not set to any system, they're nurtured and raised by your very own hand. You as the parent name, feed, bathe, change, teach, entertain, correct, and love him/her like any other child. You will teach him/her, their morals and core belief system. He/she will evolve with your love and guidance. His/her image is projected above your phone screen in a 4D image. You'll interact with him/her, like you would a human child. The only difference is he/she has from a human child is the rate to which they grow and mature. He/she is set to reach a year of age every month. If you're ready to be the parent you've always wanted to be. A 4D child, is the child for you. Please note a valid contract must be signed. This is a guarantee to us, you as the parent will raise the 4D child, until he/she reaches the age of 18. You MUST be 18 years or older to raise a 4D child and have a valid credit card. You will purchase all necessary items needed to raise him/her at the our website. This will be provided at signing of contract, with your personal login information.
It definitely sounds interesting, I'll give you that, Bella. I wonder why they have a contract and a set age requirement, it's just an app? That kind of makes me a little uncomfortable. Maybe I need to look into this further before signing up for it. I could have your dads lawyers take a look at that contract, before I go signing it. Come on mom, really can't you ever live in the moment. Do something without brow beating every detail! What do you think, you're signing your life away? Bella, sometimes you have to look before you leap. Mom, I'm telling you just once leap. Upload the contract digitally sign it and add your credit card. No Bella, I need to look into it. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get the dishes done. Little did I know as I was walking into the kitchen, Bella was downloading, signing, and confirming my credit card.
I had just finished loading the dishwasher and wiping down the counters, when Bella entered the kitchen. I could tell right away she had done something by the smile on her face. Bella, what are you up to? Mom don't get mad! Bella, tell me you didn't download and sign that contract? Mom, I know you're going to love this, please trust me! It's not you I don't trust Bella, it's them! You have no idea what you've agreed too. It's an app mom, come on lighten up. Your grounded Bella, go to your room. All I see is a blonde ponytail flip around in the air and she's gone.
As Bella, is walking away my phone starts beeping. I look down to fine the app waiting for the information on my 4D child. I start reading the question/options. Sex of your 4D child Male or Female. Female, I think, I always felt Bella needed a sister. Bella, being the only girl on both sides of our families, has really spoiled her. Name - I always did want to name Bella, Emma. I find myself typing the name Emma Elizabeth into the space. Eye color - blue always wanted a blue eyed child, everyone in our family is dark eyed. Hair color - Black hair always makes blue eyes stand out. I find myself coming to the end of the features and getting ready to start the app. Excitement is building in me, how silly it's just a game. Yet I find excitement in knowing I'm about to see Emma for the first time. It's funny to me, I thought about this app in a human context. I click the complete button and wait for the information to download. A little lullaby is playing on my phone while it loads. I giggle to myself thinking ok this is really going a bit far.
The music slows down my screen reads Congratulations Jessica you're a proud mother of a baby Girl, named Emma Elizabeth born Oct. 23rd at 8:48 p.m., weight 8 lbs 9 oz, length 21 in long. The screen goes black and all of a sudden a bright light shines upward from my phone. This beautiful cubby naked baby girl is floating above my screen. Not to mention she has lungs sounding off like a loud fire alarm. I start hitting my screen which only makes her cry more. I remember the description said she was like a real baby. I reach up caressing her face and head. She immediately calms down and starts sucking her fist. She's all curled up into herself to try and keep warm, I think to myself. I have to get her some clothes, food, toy etc.. Crap I need to get Bella, she has all my login information. Not realizing, I'm already hooked on Emma.

Ficción GeneralJess just wanted to fill her time, to feel needed and wanted. How did she know that this app would consume her to the very core and beyond. Besides it was just technology not the real world, right?
