Baby Bet

Chapter 1
Complete story

Steven and Julie were best friends and boyfriend and girlfriend that was until they made a bet of epic proportions that changed their lives. A bet I like to refer as the Baby Bet.

It started out as any other typical Saturday day afternoon for the two, Steven was driving his Mercedes with Julie sitting next to him, then Julie started talking to Steven about taking care of kids and she said this,

"Steve, I bet you couldn’t last a day taking care of a baby?" She said jokingly. Steven’s reply was

"What makes you think that?"

"Simple, I’ve seen you around kids?" Julie replied.

"To bad we can’t test this out,?" Julie said sarcastically.

To which, Steve replied, "Actually, we can, my parents are out of town with my baby sister?"

"Hold it; I’m not doing anything perverted besides I won’t fit in your sister’s clothes?" Julie said in a defensive tone.

"No, I’m not asking you to, what I’m saying is my parents have invented a youth cream that literally makes people younger and that’s how we’ll se if I can take care of a baby by using it on you!" Steven explained.

"Yeah right, it’s probably just some acne cream you want me to test because there is no way to make a person physically a baby?" Julie said in disbelief.

"You know my baby sister, Ruthie she used to be fifteen?" Steven said.

"Yeah I know your parents used the Baby Chamber which was blown up after you and sister who wasn’t your sister became babies. And your parents were really contestants on the reality The Nursery?" Julie said.

"That is a true story and as for Ruthie being a baby, Mom and Dad used their new Youth Cream on Ruthie as a punishment for pretty much breaking everything rules in the house?" Steven told his girlfriend.

"Didn’t you ever wonder why the fifteen year old Ruthie suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a four month old baby with the same name as my fifteen year old little sister?" Steven asked his girlfriend.

"A little bit, I guess you’ve convinced me to try this stuff but I don’t know?" Said a nervous Julie.

"It’ll be fun and besides you’ll have me at your every need!" Steven said trying to convince his girlfriend.

"When you put that way, I guess I’ll try it out" Julie said hesitantly. Steven set up the bet with this

"If I win you remain a baby for two more days and if you win I’ll be baby for a week" He said.

"Deal!" Julie replied.

About two hours later, Steven and Julie arrived at Steven’s house. Just like Steven had said their was no one there. When they entered, Steven found a letter from his mom on the fridge.

Dear, Stevie

Diner is in the microwave, your father and I have already left to visit our friends in New York. Your sister is with Uncle Thomas. Two more things, no one is allowed to come over not even Julie and do not tell anyone about the Youth Cream. If you break any of these rules you may end up like your sister.

Love mom

"God, I hate that name!" Steven said referring to his mother calling him Stevie. In case you were wondering what Julie said about Steven really did happen and as for the friends in New York and Uncle Thomas those were al the other contestants. Well, let’s get back to the story. After Steven had read the letter he just crumpled it up and threw it like a basketball.

"If were gonna make you a baby we better get the Youth cream. I also want to set up some ground rules for you as a baby. First, I will refer to as my cousin as not to stir any suspicion. Second, you will go to bed at 7:30. Third just like my little sister you will not be able to enter the bathroom without me?" Steven said.

"Anything else, cousin Steve?" Julie asked him.

"No that’s all?" He said.

"Wait here, while I look for the cream?" Steven told Julie to do as he went looking for the cream.

"Here we go. Let’s go ahead and use it on you?" Steven said as he started rubbing on Julie’s face.

"I’m not to sure about this do you think it will weally work. My voice what’s happen to my voice?" Julie asked in a babyish voice.

"This little girl proves the cream works. Here take a look?" Steven said as he held a mirror up to Julie’s face.

"I big girl not baby girl?" Baby Julie tried saying.

"Uh-oh, I make accident?" Julie said embarrassed and crying.

"It’s alright, just let Cousin Steve put you in a diaper and everything will be ok?" Steven said grabbing the little baby girl and taking her to the changing table.

"No, it not ok, me big girl supposed to potty twained?" She said meaning she’s supposed to potty trained.

"Sh, just don’t think about it?" Steve told her while she laid her on the changing table, then sprayed baby powder, and finally put a diaper on her.

"There we go all better?" He said smiling.

"Let’s get you something to eat?" Steven suggested as he took the girl to the kitchen.

"Me not hungy?" Baby Julie tried saying.

"Well, I’m sorry your not hungry but little girls need to eat?" Steve told Julie.

"Ok!" groaned little baby Julie.

"Here you go! Doesn’t it feel nice to sit in your highchair?" Steven asked his now baby girlfriend.

"No I wanna sit at big people table?" Julie whined.

"You’re to little your only two?" Steven replied.

"Me not wittle, I older than Steven I seventeen?" Julie whined.

"If you’re going to keep whining I’ll put you to bed without dinner?" Steven told the bratty little girl.

"Julie behave, I be god girl for Stevie?" Julie said.

"That’s what I thought; now Steven will put you in the living room to watch a movie, while I prepare dinner?" Steven said as he took baby Julie out of the highchair when he realized he had to cook the diner.

"This movie stupid it for wittle kids, me no wike Barney?" The baby whined.

"If you complain about something again, I will put to bed?" Steven said.

"You meanie, you bad baby-sitter?" Julie cried.

"I’m sorry you feel that way and I told you not to complain about anything if you don’t want go to bed!" Steven shouted.

"Why you shouting at baby?" Julie asked crying.

"I’m sorry, we’ve both made mistakes want to start over, okay?" Steven said trying

"Kay, I sowry for being a brat?" Julie said as Steven wiped the tears away from her eyes. After Steven had finished wiping Julie’s face, the phone in the kitchen rang. When Steven answered, it was his godfather, Uncle Thomas on the phone.

"Steven, it’s Uncle Thomas I’m coming over with Ruthie to stay with you?"

"Stay with me, you can’t stay here, I have someone I mean I just want some privacy?" Steven said in panicked voice.

"I did I stay I meant your mother asked me to come here to pick some stuff up for Ruthie?" Thomas told Steven. Steven was a little nervous.

"Look how about if I bring it to your house so you don’t leave?" Steven suggested. Then all of the sudden Baby Julie came behind Steven and started chewing on the phone cord.

"Julie, no that’s not safe!" Steven said in shock and horror.

"You promise, no shouting at baby?" The baby cried.

"I’m sorry but I just want to keep you safe Julie?" He picked the phone back up and when he did, his Uncle Thomas asked him this question,

"Steven, who’s that little girl you were talking to?"

"You see, Julie asked me to baby-sit her little cousin, Jewel?" He told Thomas.

"Hey that’s great it gives Ruthie a playmate to play with while I pick up the supplies?" Thomas said in an enthuastic tone.

"Yeah, great!" Steven said panicked that someone might find out. Then he hung the phone up and asked

"Hey, Julie, were gonna play pretend how does that sound?"

"Yay, me like play pwetend. I can be superhero no, no pwetty ballewina?"

"I need you to pretend that you’re a baby?" He said.

"Silly Stevie, me already wittle baby?" She said.

"Hm, you make a god point, just pretend your name’s Jewel?" He told the baby.

"I wike tat name, it pwetty name?"

"My, my sorry sweety I guess you can’t play pretend its past your bedtime its already 8:30 and you look sleepy?" He told the baby taking her back to his sister’s room to let Julie sleep in Ruthie’s crib.

"Me not Sweepy, I could stay up for another 10 million billion trillion hours?" The tired baby exaggerated.

"Well, we won’t be able to test that theory tonight little one?"

"Aw, why not?" Julie asked.

"I told you it’s time for bed?" Steven said.

"Me, no sweepy?" Baby Julie said yawning.

"Alright, since you already ate and say you aren’t tired even though I know you are. Your going to take a bath?" Steven said grabbing the baby taking her to the bathroom to give her a bath.

"No bath, no bath!" Squealed the baby.

"Not even a bubble bath?" He asked the baby.

"Bubbles, what those?"

"You don’t know what bubbles are your. That’s right your only two because of the youth cream and have lost some of your memory!" Steven.

"Wat?" Asked the baby.

"Nothing, let’s just get your bubble bath ready?" Steven said. Just as Steven finished saying that a car pulled up. It was his Uncle Thomas and little Ruthie.

"Hey, Steven, how’s it going?" His uncle asked him. Suddenly baby Julie started crawling up behind Steven and

"Hi, me Jewlie, what’s your name?"

"Julie, just wait the grown-ups are talking now. Why don’t you play with Ruthie?" Steven suggested.

"No, she baby, me gown-up to?" The baby said.

"Is that so? Well it that case, why don’t you baby-sit Ruthie then, Ok?" Steven said playing along.

"Wat tat?" The baby asked.

"What’s that? That’s what I’m doing?" Steven told the baby.

"Me no wanna yell at wittle baby?" Julie said.

"Listen, I’ll just get the stuff and take Ruthie, she’s already sleeping?" Thomas said.

"Uh-oh, I make accident?" Ruthie said smiling realizing she wet herself.

"Great, hey uh Thomas can you watch Julie for me while I look for a clean diaper?" Steven asked Thomas. Suddenly Julie turned back into a seventeen year old.

"Don’t see why you need one there isn’t any other baby in here?" Thomas said.

"Come on what are you talking about? There is too another baby in this room!" Steven said trying to defend his previous statement.

"Actually you’re wrong, Steven!" Said a very mature and seventeen Juile.

"Julie, your seventeen again, how?" Steven asked in astonishment.

"You’re not a baby".. Steven tried before he was cut off.

"Of course not, I haven’t been a baby for sixteen years" She said pretending she did not know what happened.

"I’m going to let you guys work this out while I head home" Thomas said.

"Ok, look Steven I only pretended to not remember about being a baby as to get rid of your uncle" Julie said.

"So, who won the bet?" Steven asked referring to the bet they made earlier on.

"Both of us, because I was a good baby and you were a good sitter, listen I want you to find some Youth Cream and use it on me" Julie informed her boyfriend.

"Why?" Steven asked.

"Because I want to be a baby!" Julie declared.

"All right, since I figured you were going to say that I put some extra in my pocket" Steven said as he rubbed the cream on his girlfriend’s face.

"Yay, me baby again, uh-oh I made messy in diapy" The now baby Julie stated realizing that she needed a diaper change.

"Great now, I really could use a new diaper and wouldn’t you know it?" Steven muttered.

"Know wat?"

"There aren’t any left" He said.

The End
