Baby "Think-It-Over"

By Tali

 

"Overhead camera ready..." said the producer, "...In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... ACTION!"

The crowd, which filled the studio to capacity, applaud as the camera focused on Ricky Lake.

"Hello everybody!" said Ricky, "We have seen it many times before, teenaged girls, some even under 15 years of age

feel that they're ready to have a baby and nobody is able to stop them, no even their mothers".

"Today we're going to talk to some of those girls confronting with their mothers saying: Mom, I'm gonna have a baby and you can't stop me!"

The crowd applaud again as the Ricky Lake logo appeared on the screen aside the topic of the show.

"Meet Barbara", said Ricky as the camera focused on a 38 year old blonde woman, fashionably attired, yet a tad overweight.

"Barbara is the mother of Melissa who wants to have a baby... your daughter is how old?" asked Ricky

"She's fourteen" the woman said. mumbling could be heard in the crowd.

"FOURTEEN?!" Ricky said surprisingly. "Wow! at that age you would except a child to be bothered with school, not bothering getting pregnant!"

"I know!" said Barbara. "It's a shame, she's such a bright kid, she does so well in school... I don't know where she got that idea from".

"...And I understand that you were a young parent yourself" said Ricky

"Yes, I have had my first child when I was 15 and..." Barbara voice started to break a little and she paused to wipe a tear rolling down her cheek.

"...I tried to explain her how hard it is to be a young parent, having to quit school, not having any fun... working for so many hours to pay for all the diapers and clothes... but she just won't listen".

"Why don't we invite Melissa from backstage and see if we can talk her out of it". said Ricky.

The theme music could be heared again as a Melissa walked in and sat in the empty chair next to her mother. She was dressed in a short dress and sandals, her blond hair was done very nicely. She looked very elegant and cute.

"Melissa..." said Ricky, "What makes a beautiful intelegent young woman like you wanna have a baby?"

"Well, first of all, I just love babies. I've been babysitting ever since I were 8 and loved every moment of it" answered Melissa, in her sweet voice.

"Yeah, do you really think that you're ready to have a baby at such a young age?" asked Ricky.

"Absolutely" said Melissa. "I also think it would be an interesting challenge".

"A challenge?" said Ricky, "Don't you find... er... I don't know... Geometry challenging enough?"

Melissa smiled and shook her head no.

Ricky went over to a 30 year old black woman who raised her hand. "Yes ma'am, would you like to comment?"

"Yeah", the woman said, "I just want you to know that I had my first child at 16, you have no idea how hard it is, studying AND working, not going to the prom because there's nobody to watch the baby, staying awake all night because the baby is sick and you don't know what to do... Luckily I got a high school diploma and was able to get a decent job. But by having a baby at YOUR age I wouldn't have stand a chance".

"Well said" said Ricky. "Meet Michelle and Lisa", she continued as the camera focused on Lisa and her daughter Michelle, who sat between her mom and Melissa's.

Michelle was very preety. She had black long hair, blue eyes, and looked very mature for her age wearing a black evening dress, her makeup was neatly applied and with her high-heels she stood taller than her mother.

"Michelle, Michelle, Michelle..." said Ricky, "Why do you want to ruin your life by having a baby?" she asked.

"It's not like - I'll ruin my life, I -

"But you are going to quit school in order to have a baby, aren't you?" Ricky interrupted her.

Michelle nodded and said: "Yes, I want my baby to get all the attention he'll need".

"What will you do without a high school diploma then?" Ricky asked.

"Well, I already have a job" she replied.

"Where?" Ricky asked again.

"Burger King" soon came Michelle's reply to the laughter of the crowd.

"And you get like- what- 6 bucks an hour? Honey, do you have any idea how much diapers cost these days?" Michelle lowered her head.

"I tried to talk her out of that" said her mother. "She thinks she's mature enough, she's just fifteen! for god's sake! When that girl has her mind set on something, nothing will stop her".

"Let's bring out our third teen who wants to have a baby and her mother" said Ricky.

The crowd applaud as 15 year old Tracy and her mom, Jennifer, joined the panel.

Tracy had blond hair and shining green eyes, she was very cute. She was wearing a short azure dress and matching shoes.

"Tracy, why do you want to have a baby?" asked Ricky

"I need to be loved, my mom doesn't love me" she answered.

Jennifer was shocked, "You know it's not true" she said, starting to cry.

"It is! You're never there for me!" was Tracy's reply.

"It doesn't mean I don't love you! As a single parent I have to work all those extra hours and when I come back home I'm always tired! It's not my fault!" Jennifer said.

"Why don't you tell her that you love her?" suggested Ricky.

"I love you, honey..." Jennifer said and they both hugged. The crowd responded with an applause.

"It's not just that..." Tracy added, "My mom always tells me what I can and cannot do, she doesn't treat me like an adult, I'm responsible, I'm mature, I have been babysitting on a regular basis for 4 years now, and I'm ready to have a child of my own".

"Ricky, I have tried everything, counselling, meetings with other young mothers, nothing seems to persuade her" said Jennifer.

"Well, with us today is the psychologist Dr. Linda Taylor (applause), author of the book "Babies - Why do they want them and how can we stop them", Linda, thank you very much for joining the show" said Ricky.

"Thank you Ricky, it's always a pleasure" said Linda.

"So why there are so many teenaged girls out there who want to have babies?" asked Ricky.

"Well" said Linda, "Most of the girls here have already given some answers - Some want to show that they're responsible and mature, others think that it's challenging, there are many reasons".

"So, Is there any way of getting some sense into their heads?" asked Ricky.

"Well, the best way is to let them undergo the experience themselves, let them experience first handedly what it's like having to care for a baby".

"A few years ago, teenaged girls who wanted to have a baby were given a special baby-like doll called "Baby Think-it-over", they had to take care of the baby for a week. The doll is equipped with a small computer which causes the baby to "cry" on random times, this method itself will suffice in changing almost every teen's mind".

"However", she continued, "For severe cases like Melissa, Michelle and Tracy here, we have thought of a new idea - Having to take care of a human baby".

"I find it hard to believe that a sane mother would be willing to let some teenaged girls taking care of her own baby" said Ricky.

"I am aware of that" said Linda, "That's why I have with me today some very special babies for our three young girls here".

"Shall we bring in those special babies?" Ricky asked the crowd, who responded with "Yeah!".

"Will the special babies please come out!" said Ricky.

The theme music could be heared again as two older teenagers, a girl and a boy, entered through the door. The people in the crowd applaud.

Linda introduced the teens each at a time, every time she said a name, the camera would focus on that person.

There was Tali, a tall girl with long curly red hair and blue eyes, and Zac, a well built young man with short brown hair. They were normally dressed, but that was going to change soon enough.

"Tali and Zac are students at the NYC acting school, they're professional actors, and they're here to help us". said Linda.

"You can't be serious" said Ricky, "You're actually suggesting that Melissa Tracy and Michelle would take care of these two... AS BABIES?".

"I assure you Ricky", said Tali, "That we can become more convincing babies than any stupid doll".

Ricky walked over to a good looking girl with dark hair who was raising her hand. She looked really cute. she snached the mikefrom Ricky's hand.

"What are you, some kind of a FREAK or something?", she said, obviously reffering to Tali.

"YEAH, what-e-v-e-r... sit down and shut up you fool!" was Tali's reply.

The crowd was starting to enjoy this, mob always likes mayhem. "Don't tell me to shut up you FREAK!" she said.

"Talk to the hand 'cause the face don't wanna hear!" Tali said, making positioning her hand in the direction of the girl.

"Yeah, I bet you suck at acting more than my grandma and she couldn't get the state believe she's a SENIOR CITIZEN!" the girl said.

The crowd was loving every moment of it. Some one yelled "Cat fight!" and the rest replied with "Whooo! Whooo! Whooo!" and waved their fists in the air.

That was too much, Tali got up from her seat streaching up to her full 6'0" figure, looking very intimidating (at least for a girl), and said "What, you want a piece of me?"

"Oh, you want a piece? you want a piece? come on!" the girl said, making her way down towards Tali, "Bring it on, sister!" yelled Tali. The crowd was beside itself.

The girl made her way quickly towards the stage...

...But when she got two Tali, both girls hugged and laughed.

The crowd was stunned for a second, but when the girl attached a mike to her shirt they figured out what was going on and laughed as well.

"Wow", said Ricky, "You ARE preety good actors, I mean, you almost got ME fooled, and I've been told of this before! Lets hear it up for our young actors!". The crowd applaud.

"Everybody, this is Katie", said Ricky, introducing the girl. "She'll complete our trio so that each young 'mommy' here with us today would have her own 'baby' to take care of".

"And I understand that you three are about the same age" said Ricky.

"Yeah", said Tali, "We're all seventeen".

"Wow" said Ricky with a smile, "That would make you older than your 'future mommies' ".

"That's another point" said Linda, "The babies are physically older than the mommies and thus emphasize the fact that Melissa Michelle and Tracy are too young".

"Well, what makes three seventeen year olds like you agree to play the role of babies for an entire week?" Ricky asked.

"We think it would be an interesting challenge" said Zac with a smile, referring to Melissa's choice of words from 10 minutes ago.

"Well, here's another incentive for you" said Ricky while reading from her card, "During the following week all of you - our young mommies, their mothers, and our three cute babies, will be staying at the Plaze hotel right here in New York!". The crowd applaud.

Melissa, Michelle and Tracy looked very excited and happy. "I wouldn't be so happy if I were you" said Tali with a smirk, "You do realize we're about to make your life a living hell".

"We'll take a short break, but stay with us because when we'll come back, we'll see our three babies here after their make over, stay tuned!" said Ricky as the theme music were played.

"Welcome back, during the break our cute babies have received our special baby make over, shall we bring in our new and improved babies?" asked Ricky.

"Yeah!" was the crowd's reply, "Okay, first let's bring out Katie. Baby Katie - come on down!". The crowd applaud as Katie opened the door and walked in.

Katie was wearing a very juvenile yellow dress, with frills all over, and was obviously wearing diapers underneath. She had a cute yellow ribbon in her hair, which was combed into two cute braids on each side of her head, she had white ankle socks and mary-jane shoes on her feet, a pacifier attached around her neck completed her babyish outfit.

"Oh my god!" Ricky exclaimed, "You look so cute!".

"Thank you", Katie replied with a smile, standing next to Melissa as instructed.

"Now, Melissa, you'll be in charge of baby Katie for the entire week", said Ricky.

"Okay, our next baby is Zac, Hey baby Zac! come on down!" she said.

Zac came out, waving his hand to the crowd which replied with an applause. He was wearing a cute blue shortall and cute bunny slippers. His thick diapers were making crinkling noises as he walked towards Michelle.

"Oh, what a cute little baby boy we have here!", Ricky said, "He seems so energetic, I'm sure Michelle will have her hands full with that tyke!".

"It's gonna be a piece of cake", said Michelle, very confidently.

"We'll see", said Zac, concealing a devious smile.

"Okay, let's not leave Tracy hanging, I'm sure she's dying to see her new baby. Oh,Tali! come on down!" Ricky said.

Tali came out and paced like a model towards Tracy. She was wearing a cute pink romper suit, with frills across the bottom, her thick diapers streching against the fabric. She also had ankle socks and mary-jane shoes on, and had a pink pacifier in her mouth.

Ricky burst out laughing, when she saw her. "My, my, my! what a cute little princess you are!".

Neither of the three teens seemed to be bothered with their babyish outfits, after all, they were actors. Besides, an all expense paid week at the Plaza doesn't come cheap.

The laughter in the crowd stopped in the crowd stopped, and Ricky spoke again. "Let me just thank the NY theater accessories warehouse for these lovely outfits. Now, here are the rules: Melissa, Michelle and Tracy, during the following week you are to take care of our 'babies' here, they will act like real babies so treat them like ones.

You'll feed them, play with them and even change their diapers, everything. Any questions?"

"Yes", said Tracy, "When do we start?"

"Right now", Ricky said, "The limos are waiting outside, have fun!" she said, as they all got up from thir seats and walked backstage.

"We'll send our crew with them to see how they're doing, we'll be back in a week and see if they have changed their minds".

Michelle, Melissa, and Tracy walked to the black limo with Zac, Katie and Tali. They were determined to prove their mother's that they're responsible and mature.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, believe it or not, it has been one week", said Ricky a week later, although it seemed like only two seconds.

"Our young 'mommies' have been taking care of our 'babies' for the last week, let's bring out our 'babies' first and see how it went".

Zac, Tali and Katie came down, they were normally dressed (for the first time in the last week). They were giggling as they climbed down the stairs and took their seats

"Well well well, what is so funny you guys?", asked Ricky, smiling herself. She already knew what was so funny.

"Oh, we were just recalling some incidents which occurred during the last week", Tali said. "Do you guys remember that time when...", -"Oh, you mean when... Ha, ha. ha!" they all started laughing. "Do you remember that lady in the...", said Katie, barely able to utter a word because she was laughing so hard. "Stop, stop! you're killing me!", said Zac, holding his stomach.

"Well, you guys sure seem to have had your fun during the last week...", said Ricky, "Was it really so much fun playacting as babies?".

"Well, it sure had its moments", said Tali, wiping her eyes, "I never laughed so much in my life".

"Well, why don't we find out what was so funny, let's bring out Michelle, Melissa and Tracy". said Ricky.

They came down. Katie, Zac and Tali got up from their seats to hug them, they all hugged each other and soon they were all seated again.

"Well, 'mommies', what was it like?" asked ricky.

"Awful, Ricky" they all said at once.

"Well, why don't we see what was so bad, let's take a look".

A large TV screen, which was located in the side for the audience convenience, lit up and started showing the footage which was taken during the last week at the hotel.

Of course the viewers at home were getting the same footage on their TV screen.

It started with Michelle, Tracy, and Melissa walking to the limo. "Well", Michelle said, "Here we are girls, remember, It's not like we're doing something new, we all have been babysitting for a few years, even those stupid 'baby-think-it-over' dolls were not a real problem, remember, it is our only chance of proving our moms we're mature".

"We'll just treat them like real babies", Tracy said, "How hard can it be?".

"Piece of cake!", Melissa said.

The second secene were at the hotel while the mothers and their daughters were checking-in. Zac, in his baby outfit, was speaking. About 10 feet behind him, Katie and Tali tried to get into the frame. They were wearing their baby outfits as well, they did the "Go Ricky" dance.

"Our job is very simple", said Zac, "We are supposed to play the role of the annoying, time-cosuming babies. And as you can see...", he said, gesturing at Tali and Katie who shouted "whoooo!" and waved. "...we're very excited", he continued, "We have some 'surprises' for our 'mommies' which I think you might like".

At that point, Tali and Katie were next to him, jumping and shouting, trying to get him do the same thing as well. "Yeah, yeah, 'whooo, whooo'", Zac said sarcastically, immitating the girls, "Just grow up will you?".

"You grow up!" said Tali, putting her thumb in her mouth and smiled. "At least I'm not the one who needs her diaper changed!" she said.

"Hey Michelle! your baby needs his diaper changed!", Katie hollered before Zac could react, attracting the attention of many people in the lobby who already thought it's weird for for a bunch of 17 year olds to wear baby outfits and diapers.

"I DO NOT!" Zac, shouted at her, not realizing he's attracting even more attention. The girls laughed. Zac blushed as he just realized how he has just sounded, then he started laughing as well. The three 'babies' we're obviously enjoying themselves so far.

They were at the pool, Michelle, wearing a swimsuit, sat in a chair near the edge of the adult pool, glancing from time to time at Tali, Katie and Zac who were sitting in the babys' pool, tossing a huge beach-ball to one another. The diapers they were wearing looked larger than ever, soaking the pool's water. They were laughing and really having a good time.

"Like I have said, it's a piece of cake. We checked in... boy they do have some fancy suites in here, such comfortable beds. Too bad the 'babies' can't enjoy them, they'll sleep in specially made cribs.. (giggle), I had to change Zac earlier, Tracy told me she had to do the same with Tali. But so far so good. Yeah, it's time to kick back and enjoy", she said, making herself comfortable on her chair.

"This is going to be one smooth - OUCH!", she didn't notice the ball which was tossed directly to her face. She turned her head and saw Tali laughing. "Ha ha ha, real funny", Michelle said sarcastically. "Would you like me to tell your mother what a naughty baby you are?". "I tell you-", she said, sitting back, talking to the camera again. "-she's the biggest troublemaker here, I've discussed it with Tracy, and she said- OUCH!", another bach-ball hit her in the face, Zac threw it this time.
"Why you little...", she said, not bothering to stand up this time. "I know what they're trying to do", she said, talking to the camera again. "They're trying to get me pissed off, most children do when I babysit them.
The secret is not to let them know you're getting bothered by their behavior". She said, laying back again and stretching. "Yes sir, I'm as calm as a - OUCH! OUCH!, HEY! STOP IT!", she said as about 8 beach-balls hit her in the face. Tali Zac and Katie were laughing hysterically, tossing every bach-ball they laid their hands upon, and they had a LARGE ammunition.
They were still tossing and kicking the huge balls at Michelle while she tried to defend herself, not doing very well.
"Stop it- OUCH! OUCH! YOU LITTLE BRA- A- AHH, AHHHH!" she screamed, loosing her balance and falling into the pool with a big "SPLASH!".

Tali Zac and Katie were laughing so hard they almost peed. Luckily, they had their diapers on. Even the other people at the pool laughed as Michelle pulled herself up from the pool, soaking wet and dripping all over. "YOU CAN'T ANNOY ME! DO YOU HEAR? I'M AN ADULT! YOU CAN'T GET ME ANNOYED!!!", she screamed. This time they REALLY peed themselves.

Later that evening, they could be seen at the hotel's dining room. They were well dressed. Zac was wearing a cute little sailor's outfit, the pants were short and tied, thus making his diapers very noticeable.

Katie was wearing an azure corduroy romper suit over a white shirt, white frilly ankle socks and a pair of mary-janes, which mached the color of the romper. Her hair was done in braids.

Tali was wearing a short pink dress with ribbons and frills. With the hem of the dress coming down to less than mid-tigh and her frilly petticoat, making her long shapely legs visable and her frilly rhumba pants and diapers were visable with every move. She was wearing ankle socks and mary-janes like Katie, only hers were black. Her hair was done in pigtails and held in two pink velvet ribbons. She was sucking on a pacifier.

They were helped into three especially made high chairs and the girls tied bibs around their necks. They started feeding them some babyfood, which wasn't an easy task.

Katie, Zac, and Tali made it impossible for the girls to feed them properly. They even started a food fight at some point, using their teaspoons as catapults in order to toss the baby food at each other and the girls. Tali loaded a large amount of food on her teaspoon and aimed at Tracy. Tracy saw that one coming and ducked at the last moment, it hit a buxom african-american who was dining serenely until that moment.

"I didn't mean to hit her", said Tali, talking to the camera later in the lobby. "It was preety funny though, with the gooey stuff all over her face".

"Ok, this has gone WAY too far!",the black woman said. (author's note: to those of you who don't understand what's going on, what the crowd at the ricky lake show was watching at that moment, are footage switches from what actually happened to Tali's version a little later) She got up, wiped her face and walked to Tracy. "Older than you or not, you should warm up her behind!". Everyone but the woman and Tali (who noticed she meant business) laughed at this.

"I'm serious", the woman said, "I swear, if you don't spank her, I WILL! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!!!", Tali, upon hearing this, got up from her high chair and ran outside as fast as she could to the laughter of Zac, who was obviously enjoying this more than everyone.

(Camera switch) "And that bastard was screaming 'SPANK HER!!! SPANK HER!!!'", said Tali, referring to Zac.

"I swear, as soon as I... THERE HE IS!", she said as the camera focused on Zac getting out from the dining room. "Wait 'till I get my hands on you, you little...", Tali yelled, chasing him all around the lobby, the skirt of her dress flew up and her panties and diapers were completely visable to everyone at the lobby. The camera focused at the chase.

Zac was running away as fast as he could, but Tali was faster. She caught him eventually, she tackled him and started tickling him. Katie joind in as well.

"STOP!!! STOP!!!", he laughed. However, they didn't stop until he soaked his diapers.

Later that night, at 10:30 PM to be exact, Melissa, Michelle and Tracy dozed off, slumbering peacefully, tired from all the exhausting work they did during the day.

However, the "babies" weren't tired at all. They showered and put their normal clothes back on, although they were still in diapers, adhering by the rules.

"Well Ricky", said Katie, talking to the camera as the three of them walked in the lobby, "Our 'mommies' are upstairs, snoring their heads off... And now it's our turn to have FUN! what do you guys wanna do?", she asked.

"Let's go grab a bite...", said Zac, "I'm starving!".

"What's the matter?", Katie asked him in a baby-talk, "The little baby didn't enjoy his din-din?".

"Well, most of it ended on our bibs anyway, or in SOME cases, on an innocent lady's face...". Zac and Katie laughed.

"Would you guys just let it go?", Tali asked, laughing a little herself. "I swear if she had laid a finger on my behind, I would have torn her apart". Zac and Katie laughed at this.

"What?", Tali said, "I think I can take her".

"Yeah, sure you can", he said, "That's why you ran out of the dininroom like a frightened cat...".

"Ok, so maby I can't...", Tali said, hitting Zac's side with her elbow, "But I can still take YOU out, so I'd shut up if I were you...". They all laughed.

They headed into an Italian restaurant which was located at the entrance floor.

After they finished their meals, it was time for desert. They ordered some ice-cream and three extra-large milkshakes, they had their mind set on drinking a huge amount of liquids so that their diapers would be wet and thus, having the girls to change them at the middle of the night.

"Here's to the Ricky Lake show!", Katie said, making the toast.

They had a really good time, watching a movie, playing at the arcade, etc. Later they went to the hotel's health club where they enjoyed a sauna, a hot tub, and a massage.

It wasn't until almost 3 AM when they came back to their rooms, trying to wake up the girls to change them. The camera followed their every move.

Michelle, Tracy and Melissa got up eventually, and started the somewhat unpleasing procedure of changing their "babies" diapers (the late hour making it even more unpleasant).

Each at a time, Tali, Katie and Zac got up on the changing table and got their diapers changed (Zac was last because he had to put on a special non-opaque skin colored briefs in order to conceal his manhood).

Tali was first. Tracy removed her sodden diaper and threw it to a nearby pail. She carefully, yet thoroughly wiped Tali's croth area with baby wipes. She turned her over and wiped her behind. She sprinkled some baby powder on her behind and front, smiling a little. She never diapered anyone older than 8, better yet older than herself.

Tali smiled back, Tracy was really good at this, she thought. She seems so caring and cute, she would make a very good mother some day. Tali almost felt sorry for her... ALMOST, she smiled again.

Tracy pulled the diaper over her crotch and taped it tightly, then helped her into some pink footed pajamas. Tali couldn't help but giggle when Tracy got up, swinged a little from side to side as she walked, finally falling onto her comfy bed, dozing off as soon as her head hit the pillow. Tali climbed into her crib and cuddled with a blanket, sucking on her pacifier as she drifted off to sleep with a content smile on her face. She couldn't wait for the morning to come.

Katie and Zac, however, had other plans. They kept waking Michelle an Melissa, asking for their bottles, pacifiers, even to "scare the monsters hiding in the closet away".

Upon hearing the latter, Michelle thought she was close to having a nervous breakdown. She stomped her foot to the floor, having a tantrum like a bratty little child. "IT'S NOT FAIR!!! YOU'RE ONLY DOING IT ON PURPOSE!!!".

Zac, Katie, and even Melissa laughed at this. Luckily, the cameraman has been there and caught all the action.

The morning came. Tali was desperately trying to wake up Tracy, when she gave up trying, she diapered herself and got dressed in a short red cotton dress with frills all over.

Michelle, however, got up quickly, she was still aware about her behavior only a few hours ago and was determined to show everyone she could still be treated like an adult. She changed Zac and got him diapered and dressed for the day. Melissa did the same with Katie.

Melissa, Michelle, Zac, and Katie were at the dining room, wondering where Tali and Tracy are.

Tali soon came into the dining room, CARRYING Tracy in her hands. Tracy was still dressed in the clothes she slept in. She looked only half awake and her hair was a mess.

The four of them laughed when they saw this. "Fancy having your baby carry you around like that...", Michelle teased Tracy, "I don't really think you're ready for having your own baby!".

"You should talk!", said Zac, "Remember that childish tantrum you threw last night?" Michelle blushed.

The rest of the week was very much like the first 24 hours, with Zac, Katie, and Tali being the brattiest little tykes they can, making the girls go crazy.

The footage ended and the crowd applaud.

"Well, come on, I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad", Ricky said laughing.

"You should have been there yourself...", said Tracy, "You better hope that Millo (Ricky's baby) won't turn out to be a brat like these three...". Ricky laughed.

"I hope that he wouldn't need still diapers when he'll be 17", Ricky said. The crowd laughed at this.

"So, do you guys still want to become mothers?", Ricky asked the 15 year olds. She already knew what their answer would be, it was written all over their faces from day one.

"NO WAY!!!", they all said at the same time.

"I'm, like, never gonna have a baby before I'm 30 years old!", Tracy said.

"I don't want a baby EVER", Michelle said.

"It's true Ricky", said her mother. "She can't stand babies now. The other day we were watching a TV show and there was this scene in which a baby cried, and she just got up and turned the TV off".

"Well, you guys seem to had a great effect on our young girls here. You are very good actors indeed, thank you very much", Ricky said to Katie, Zac, and Tali.

"Thank YOU Ricky", said Katie, "It has been our pleasure".

The crowd applaud and Ricky Lake gave her closing statement.

"Sometimes, young teenaged girls feel that something is missing in their lives and want to fill that gap with a baby of their own. However, being a young mother isn't a garden full of roses. Mixing motherhood and studies isn't an easy task. those young girls should think about their future. If they give it a little more thought I'm sure they'll figure out by themselves that the best thing to do is putting it off until they're adults and thus capable of starting a family with a person they really love. Thank you very much for watching us, I'll see you next week".

The Ricky Lake theme started playing and the credits rolled over the screen. The crowd applaud (Tali and Katie even did the "Go Ricky" dance they did at the tape. This time, with Zac joining in as well) as Ricky walked over to each person at the panel, shaking his or hers hand and exchanging a few words with them.

 

EPILOGUE

Tali, Zac, and Katie got out of the studio building and walked down the street.

"You know what's the funniest thing?", Katie said, "Those girls thinking that wearing diapers would deter us. If they'd only known that's what got us to volunteer to that whole thing in the first place".

"Yeah", Tali said. "You know, Zac, how did you manage to... er... you know, not getting excited during your diaper changes?".

"What, didn't you see him entering the bathroom when his diapers were wet, staying in there for like 20 or so minutes and then coming back with a stupid smile on his face?", Katie said. She was just teasing him of course, she knew he was taking soda pills during that week.

"I DID NOT!", he said. They all laughed again, remembering what he said on their first day at the Plaza.

"You know", said Zac, putting one arm around Katie and the other one around Tali, "I think it's the start of a wonderful friendship"
