SPOILER!!: Kodee

Indeed it was.

Finneas hadn't worried about this assignment until this very moment, in all honesty. If Kodee Chosen was excited, that could only mean it was either a very good idea or an extremely terrible one. There was no inbetween. He was worried. He was ALWAYS worried. But especially now.

......... Er. Finneas laughed in the way one does when they are in a very uncomfortable position. "Err... I'll let you decide that with the help of Ms. Motts," because that felt..... just. As for the signing, however, Finneas DID have the answer to that one. So he pulled out the parchment, pushing it to the end of his desk, along with a PEN. "Fill out the blanks and sign at the end." Please?

SPOILER!!: Blake and Isla

He turned back toward Isla. "You want a boy or girl?" He giggled a bit .. what an adult conversation to have. "And what are we going to name it." Again things he didn't plan on talking about for at least 10-15 years.

She was still volunteering Blake to change ALL the diapers, though! She'd feed the baby and rock it to sleep. ~~Nope. What was she saying? She pretty much had to change some of those diapers, didn't she?~~

Spotting Blake claiming a diaper bag and slinging it over his shoulder, Isla gave her new 'husband' (*giggle*) a raised eyebrow expression. "Wow. Look at you being on a roll," she said. Good. GOOOOOD. This was going to be so much easier with her baby having a father that was willing to step in and help out! "I definitely want a little girl! Is that okay with you?" And names? She'd never thought about what she wanted to name her baby! She thought she still had a good ten years or so before that happened!

"Uhh...a name. Uhhh...," she mumbled. "I don't know. Do you have any ideas?" She was the to suggest they get a little girl, so maybe Blake wanted to chime on the whole name thing? "Olivia? Ava? Aurora? Ellie? Primrose?" She rattled off a few names off the top of her head.

Quote:

Maybe he should have suggested a boy ... and then Blake shook his head to clear his thoughts. Though this was like a real baby, it wasn't real..... they only had to keep it alive for a few months not that rest of his life, so what did it matter if it was a girl.

"A girls perfect." He said with a smile, it really didn't matter. He wasn't sure about names... Did it come with a birth certificate like an older student had suggested? .... So many questions, so many thoughts. "I like Ellie." He added at the suggestion of one of her names .. Primrose?? that's a big nope ....

"Ellie Bellchant-Ryan" yeah that's a got a good ring to it Blake thought. He thought it was a rather nice gesture to hyphen the last name rather than just say Ryan. "Well I guess it's time to sign the papers and officially become a family." He added, he grabbed a baby and moved toward Professor Schmoe.

"Professor Schmoe ... where do we sign?" He added holding the diaper bag over one shoulder and the baby on the other hip.... they were going to have to work on a 'shift' schedule as to who has her and when.

...which he did! Isla smiled at him and tried not to do a little bounce of excitement at the thought of meeting her very own daughter in a matter of minutes! Okay, so this was all fake, and technically she could just toss her daughter to the side and ignore her anytime she wanted to (right?), but it was going to feel real!

"Then it's settled! We're officially the parents of a little girl named Ellie Bellchant-Ryan!" she said. She smiled at her new husband as she started to take control of the situation and get things done. Although, she did feel kind of like a 'deadbeat mom'. Blake had the diaper bag and baby Ellie, and here Isla was just standing around letting him do all the work! He was supposed to be saving his energy for ALL the diaper changes he was going to do!

Nevertheless, she moved to stand beside Blake, ready to sign her life away to become Ellie's new mum!

Finneas was very pleased to see this level of cooperation. It was important for an assignment such as this one. "Excellent," he bobbed his head up and down, pushing the papers toward the end of his desk for them to fill out. "Just fill this out and we can finalize everything."

SPOILER!!: Ewan and Chloe

The farm animals were a lot. Babies? Well, they could be a lot too. Then again, he did have a little niece on the way so this could be just what he needed. Something to help him get ready to be the best uncle he could be.

He honestly couldn’t wait to become an Uncle and help his Aunty Llinos with everything. Sure, he’d have a lot more responsibilities around the farm too but he’d be there for her and Jordy when the baby arrived, which could literally happen at any point this month. Touch wood, it wouldn’t happen until he went home for the winter holidays.

Signing up, he walked over to where Chloe was and plopped down next to her. Noticing that she didn’t have a baby, he pulled one of the babies towards them both, a small smile on his face. “You want to be a co-parent with me Cookie?”. This was going to be a mess. Sure, they were both Ravenclaws so they should have it down but, somehow, he had a feeling this was about to Pete Tong.

Laughing as they used their summer fake names once more, it was fun to pretend to be someone different once in a while and she knew even with this project that the two of them would be having fun.

Walking with him back over to the professor she looked at them both. 'What do we have to fill out sir? I guess I found the father, he came along after all." Chloe giggled and looked towards Ewan, "What are we naming... ah.. " She looked at the doll.

"Do we have a boy or a girl?"

Sure, parents of fake babies but still. It was kind of amusing because he had every confidence in the fact that some of these babies would not last. Although, truth be told, he wasn’t confident that he and ~~Chloe~~ Cookie could keep their baby around for all that long either.

Ewan followed as Chloe headed over to sign them both up and couldn’t help but laugh as she asked him what he wanted to call the baby. How should he know? He’d had a hard-enough time naming Kingsley and he was only a dog! “Uhhh…” hesitating now because the names that were popping in his head were honestly stupid. “How about we have a little baby girl? My Aunty is actually having a girl so it’ll be good practice for me” smiling a little now, happy that this was actually doubly useful.

“I don’t really mind the name. Why don’t you pick?”

Just as she said it her eyes went to the door as someone else had come in, Kaiser. She bit the inside of her lip hearing him say he was working alone, of course he was.

She shook her head to get back into what was going on and focused on Ewan, 'So names, what about Mila? Mila Anne?" She thought that was a pretty name. Looking down at the baby she smiled a little, this was going to be easy, her brother gave her all the experience. She was confident she could do fine and she hoped Ewan would be able to as well.

Looking to the professor she waited for the papers to sign and to see if the name worked of course.

Finneas had all confidence in his students. Sort of. Real talk? He never had full confidence in anything. But aNyWaY. He gave the two Ravenclaws an awkward smile before handing them the form. "This is it!"

Mr. Yoon. He was.... a trouble maker. Finneas didn't notice the less-than-cheerful mood today. But the words the Hufflepuff spoke were very curious, indeed. Finneas chuckled awkwardly because there wasn't much else to do. "Errr... I am afraid you cannot pay your way out of this assignment, Mr. Yoon. It will be a good learning experience." Hopefully. "Go ahead and pick one out." He waved his hand in the direction of the dolls.

SPOILER!!: Cecelia

Finneas liked to watch as his students picked out their dolls. It was very evident that some were picking with utmost care, whilst other simply took the first they could find. Cecelia was one of the careful choosers. That was promising. Ho, ho, ho. "Just one more thing, Miss Summers," he held out the form so that she could sign off.

They just needed a first name for the chile.

Right-o, Schmoe S E E M E D more organized than usual today. But was he really?! She raised an eyebrow at him. "If you say so, sir. But just know that i am RIGHT HERE and ready to help you if you need it." She nodded to confirm this availability, and then dragged Phoebe a little ways over to the diaper bags.

"Bag or baby?" As in, which one did she want to hold first? "OoOOOooh, we should get one of those baby carrier things that you can wear, so you can wear your baby like a purse! Or a joey!" You know, a baby kangaroo! Bernie loved this idea. She glanced to Phoebe for a reaction. "Also, are you picky, as in, boy baby or girl baby?" She didn't care either way. They did all the same stuff at this age.

Quote:

"I'll get the bad. You should get to choose the baby because you got here first." And because Bernie probably cared more about making sure they had a good baby or whatever. "Make sure the baby is a cute one, at least." They all looked the same, right?

Phoebe bopped over to grab their bag, pausing to poke through it out of curiosity. Merlin, what were they gonna do with all these things? Surely this fake baby didn't need real feedings and diaper changes? Surely...? With a small frown, Phoebe tucked the strap over her shoulder and headed back to find Bernie.

Quote:

She scanned the line for the cutest one, then scanned it again to make sure she wasn't just seeing 142 of the same baby doll ~~because was it just her or were they all identical?~~. Finally, Bernie sighed, and selected a chubby plastic child with plastered on plastic hair and blue eyes.

It would do. "How do we tell if it's a boy or girl?" she asked, half speaking to the 'infant' and half to Phoebe. Bernie was currently holding it out at arm's length, as though she needed to see it do something before she would know what to name it. "I like the name Nigel, or maybe she or he needs something longer, like Fitzgerald or Rosamund, or even Cuthberta?" She turned so the baby doll was facing Phoebe. "Wot about Beebie?" It was like Bernie and Phoebe put together.

No, no, wait, she had the perfect name for the babe: "FINNEAS! We should call it Finneas." For no particular reason... Bernie was BEAMING at her partner with this idea. "Finnn-eeee-aaaas, Finnn-eeeee-aaaas!" Finneas James-Grantham. Brilliant.

........................... Finneas went a terrible shade of red-in-the-face. He was not a fan of using the name 'Finneas' for the baby. But he was also far too awkward to say this to the girls. And so instead, he ....................... just didn't say anything at all.

Hopefully Phoebe would be the sensible one in their partnership. Either way, Schmoe waited for the pair to make their decision, so that he could give them their paperwork momentarily. Oh Merlin, mistakes were made.

SPOILER!!: Alexandre

Finneas decided it was, of course! All hesitation from his students went straight over his head too. Surely everyone was thrilled to take care of a baby doll for three months! Who wouldn't be!? "Good news, Alexandre," Finneas smiled awkwardly. "You're in the right place." Ho, ho, ho. Ha, ha, ha. Good one. He motioned towards the dolls on the table. "Pick one out and grab a bag... Then errrr we can get your forms signed and send you on your way."

She then picked up a bag, slung it around her shoulder, and cradled her new baby against her chest before heading back over to the Professor.

"Done and done."

Valencia was very efficient. Breeeeezing through. It was greeat. Finneas wished everything could be this painless, honestly. AnYwAy. "Here are the forms," he said, extending his hand to give them to her. "Fill it out and then we'll be set."

Again, any hesitation in regards to the assignment? Straight!! Over!! His!! Head!!! He did, however, notice that Kaiser looked like he needed twenty more hours of sleep. He'd...... have to talk to Piers about that. AnYwAy. "No problem!" Finneas was in a GREAT mood, in comparison. He nodded towards the back tables. "Errr pick one out and we can get your forms signed," yes, yes. A SYSTEM. He had one.

SPOILER!!: Jillian

Finneas gave Jillian a BIG smile. A star pupil, she was. "Very well," he nodded. "Go on and find one you take a liking to," they were all the same, really. But it was more fun to pretend otherwise. "And when you have a baby and errr a baby-bag, come back and we'll get your paperwork signed."

Sign here: SPOILER!!: Stella Quote: Originally Posted by Granger Danger Nodding taking that he was good and okay, Stella bit her lip in thought, her and Oceanus already agreed on a boy so a boy it'll be. Picking up the bag she slung it on her shoulder before she grabbed a baby boy. Shifting her weight some she placed the baby in her arms. She was going to take this assignment seriously, she was going to be a good mother to her ~~fake~~ baby boy. As she looked down at her fake baby she seen that it sorta had her eye color, okay weird... was it charmed to be like that? Although if it was, that was really cool she couldn't wait to show Oceanus their 'son' that they were going to have for awhile. Although this sounded weird in her head, but for some reason she didn't mind it at all. Besides she was now sixteen, not far from being a adult and starting her life in the real world, she had to be prepared right? "Okay... what next Professor?" she asked him curiously. Another day, another doll. Finneas smiled awkwardly, holding out a new set of forms. "Please fill these out," he blinked three times.

Sign here: SPOILER!!: Bernie and Phoebe Quote: Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl Aww, who was holding her hand? ~~Blake????????~~ Naw, it was Phoebe. "Hi Pheebs," Bernie swung her hand back and forth also. OOOOooooHOOohhh, great idea. They were already dormmates, so how easy would it be to add a baby to the Gryffindor party? SUPER easy, obviously. "Alright, YEAH!" They just needed a first name for the chile. Right-o, Schmoe S E E M E D more organized than usual today. But was he really?! She raised an eyebrow at him. "If you say so, sir. But just know that i am RIGHT HERE and ready to help you if you need it." She nodded to confirm this availability, and then dragged Phoebe a little ways over to the diaper bags. "Bag or baby?" As in, which one did she want to hold first? "OoOOOooh, we should get one of those baby carrier things that you can wear, so you can wear your baby like a purse! Or a joey!" You know, a baby kangaroo! Bernie loved this idea. She glanced to Phoebe for a reaction. "Also, are you picky, as in, boy baby or girl baby?" She didn't care either way. They did all the same stuff at this age. Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin "I'll get the bad. You should get to choose the baby because you got here first." And because Bernie probably cared more about making sure they had a good baby or whatever. "Make sure the baby is a cute one, at least." They all looked the same, right? Phoebe bopped over to grab their bag, pausing to poke through it out of curiosity. Merlin, what were they gonna do with all these things? Surely this fake baby didn't need real feedings and diaper changes? Surely...? With a small frown, Phoebe tucked the strap over her shoulder and headed back to find Bernie. Quote: Originally Posted by BanaBatGirl "Alright." Bernie had a good eye for picking out candy, so she'd probably be able to spot a good baby as well. She scanned the line for the cutest one, then scanned it again to make sure she wasn't just seeing 142 of the same baby doll ~~because was it just her or were they all identical?~~. Finally, Bernie sighed, and selected a chubby plastic child with plastered on plastic hair and blue eyes. It would do. "How do we tell if it's a boy or girl?" she asked, half speaking to the 'infant' and half to Phoebe. Bernie was currently holding it out at arm's length, as though she needed to see it do something before she would know what to name it. "I like the name Nigel, or maybe she or he needs something longer, like Fitzgerald or Rosamund, or even Cuthberta?" She turned so the baby doll was facing Phoebe. "Wot about Beebie?" It was like Bernie and Phoebe put together. No, no, wait, she had the perfect name for the babe: "FINNEAS! We should call it Finneas." For no particular reason... Bernie was BEAMING at her partner with this idea. "Finnn-eeee-aaaas, Finnn-eeeee-aaaas!" Finneas James-Grantham. Brilliant. ........................... Finneas went a terrible shade of red-in-the-face. He was not a fan of using the name 'Finneas' for the baby. But he was also far too awkward to say this to the girls. And so instead, he ....................... just didn't say anything at all. Hopefully Phoebe would be the sensible one in their partnership. Either way, Schmoe waited for the pair to make their decision, so that he could give them their paperwork momentarily. Oh Merlin, mistakes were made. SPOILER!!: Alexandre Quote: Originally Posted by littledhampir Who had decided this was a good idea? Alexandre was only 14. He was way too young to be a father. And there were people even younger than him. This was probably a bad idea actually. And they had to do it for three months? THREE WHOLE MONTHS? That was such a long time. How much would it really matter if he failed muggle studies anyway? These were the sorts of thoughts he was thinking as he walked slowly into the classroom. "Um, hello professor. I'm here for...a baby." Was he supposed to pick or were they being assigned? Finneas decided it was, of course! All hesitation from his students went straight over his head too. Surely everyone was thrilled to take care of a baby doll for three months! Who wouldn't be!? "Good news, Alexandre," Finneas smiled awkwardly. "You're in the right place." Ho, ho, ho. Ha, ha, ha. Good one. He motioned towards the dolls on the table. "Pick one out and grab a bag... Then errrr we can get your forms signed and send you on your way." Quote: Originally Posted by LilFox06 Valencia nodded and headed to pick out a doll. She didn't really pay attention to the looks, it didn't matter to her. A fake baby was a fake baby, right? She then picked up a bag, slung it around her shoulder, and cradled her new baby against her chest before heading back over to the Professor. "Done and done." Valencia was very efficient. Breeeeezing through. It was greeat. Finneas wished everything could be this painless, honestly. AnYwAy. "Here are the forms," he said, extending his hand to give them to her. "Fill it out and then we'll be set." Quote: Originally Posted by Form Parent 1: Parent 2: (optional) Baby's Name: I, [YOUR NAME(S)], hereby assume all responsibility for this baby.

Sign here: SPOILER!!: Kaiser QUOTE=Felixir;12443010]Kaiser hadn't even stepped inside the room yet, and he was already feeling immensely uncomfortable. These weren't real babies of course, and that was a very good thing, if you asked him; the only vaguely baby-shaped things he'd ever been near were the smallest Stemps, very occasionally, and even then he tried to given them a wide berth, as suited as he wasn't to be in the presence of such small humans. Even so... he felt like this was not the assignment for him. At all. It was tempting to ask for some kind of alternative, but trying to explain himself sounded exhausting so... he figured he'd put up with it rather than make a fuss. Hardly the end of the world. Having been bracing himself all the way to the classroom, Kaiser stepped through the door, looking very much like he would prefer to be anywhere else. He was going to fail the assignment. He was going to fail it miserably, he already knew. Did he really need to take part in it to know that? Maybe he could quit a few days in; the result would be the same regardless. Kaiser approached Schmoe, staring at him rather than the tables of fake babies. He was looking a little grey, but whether that was because of the assignment or because that was just how he looked these days was anyone's guess. Probably a bit of both. "No partner," was all he said. No. He had no partner, and that was intentional. Nobody else needed to suffer this with him; it was only fair that he totally screw it up alone.[/QUOTE] Again, any hesitation in regards to the assignment? Straight!! Over!! His!! Head!!! He did, however, notice that Kaiser looked like he needed twenty more hours of sleep. He'd...... have to talk to Piers about that. AnYwAy. "No problem!" Finneas was in a GREAT mood, in comparison. He nodded towards the back tables. "Errr pick one out and we can get your forms signed," yes, yes. A SYSTEM. He had one. SPOILER!!: Jillian Quote: Originally Posted by hjhm Jillian heard about Professor Schmoe's homework and felt like she was up to the challenge of 'taking care of a baby'- err, fake baby, whatever. She thought about it long enough and even on the way here, she was still having some second thoughts but she was just as curious as everyone else. It was an interesting concept and she figured this was a good social experiment, not only for herself but of course to everyone else who will be joining in this assignment. Fingers crossed. When she managed to enter the classroom, she immediately headed towards the professor, spotting him on his desk with that smile of his. Of course upon approaching him, Jillian flashed him a smile as well. *"Uhmmm…"* she took a deep breath with her eyes sort of wandering at the fake babies on top of the tables. They look creepy honestly but it was too late to back out now. Besides this looks like it could be fun. "Hello, Professor" she returned her glance to him. "I will be doing this assignment without a partner" she continued. She thought about it earlier and she wanted to do this alone by choice. She wanted to know how much agony a parent has to go through taking care of a baby. One she is sure her father experienced since her mother is no longer around. Yep, sounds like something she can practice with... you know... in the future. Finneas gave Jillian a BIG smile. A star pupil, she was. "Very well," he nodded. "Go on and find one you take a liking to," they were all the same, really. But it was more fun to pretend otherwise. "And when you have a baby and errr a baby-bag, come back and we'll get your paperwork signed." __________________ Days of Potter 2023:___________________________ Which Bertie Botts Flavour Are You?
