Child’s Cold Part Three
Phobos
Phobos walked into Sung’s lab seeing Sung write a few notes down. He didn[‘t really know how to bring this topic up but it was better to say it than not saying anything.
“ Sung? Can I talk to you?” Phobos asked.
“ Oh course, what’s up?” Sung replied.
“ I’m worried about when I get the child’s cold.” Phobos says, looking nervous.
“ Oh. Is that because of your vow?” Sung asked.
“ Yes, if I talk as a toddler, will that be breaking the vow?” Phobos asked.
“ No, that wouldn’t count cause you most likely won’t remember it when you are a kid,” Sung says, seeing a smile on Phobos.
“ And if you do remember then you wont talk, don’t worry about it.” Sung adds.
“ Thank you Sung, come on, it’s late and you need sleep.” Phobos says, making them both laugh.
“ Okay okay.” Sung agrees.

Phobos awoke in the middle of night scared. Everything seemed so much bigger and scarier to him and he didn’t know why. There was nothing that showed him that he was in the castle, nothing like his family. His eyes started to get watery followed by him crying out.
Meouch woke up confused. He looked at his phone and saw it was 1 in the morning. He hears the cries and rushes over to where he can track it, which was Phobos’s room. He opened the door to spot a little Phobos, his eyes big, puffy and red from crying. Phobos sees Mouch and is quick to pull the sheets over his head.
“ Hey there, Phobos? It’s okay, you are safe.” Meouch says, trying to think of what will help Phobos calm down.
“ Phobos, hey bud it’s okay, do you know who I am?” Meouch asks.
Phobos removes the sheets and looks at Meouch. Slowly he shakes his head no which doesn’t help Meouch out. Meouch sits on the floor still thinking of something to help Phobos.
“ Come here bud, me and my friends are here to protect you.” Meouch says seeing a sign that Phobos understands.
“ We are a special group of the royal guard, this is, uh this is practice for you, to make sure you know we are good.” Meouch says, as he watches Phobos, in an oversized shirt, climb out of the sheets and out of the bed.
Phobos walks over to Meouch, barely able to keep on his feet and ends in Meouch’s lap. Meouch smiles and stands up with Phobos in his arms. He took Phobos to the living room and was able to find some cartoons Sung had recorded, so he turned those on for Phobos.
Phobos, after an hour of cartoons falls asleep, making Meouch smile. Meouch did find this odd but Little Phobos was too cute. Meouch turned the tv off and was able to get back to sleep once he did.

Little Phobos woke up around six in the morning in the lion's lap. He wiggled his way out of the lap and off the couch. Once off the couch he starts to look around the living room seeing the hallway. He starts to walk down the hallway seeing a door cracked open. He walked in seeing someone in the bed asleep. He walks up and climbs onto the bed, being able to get on the other side of the person, who has one eye, and gets into the sheets and falls back asleep.
Sung wakes up not too long after and sees the little bundle in his bed, scaring him off his bed. The landing caused a huge thud on the groan from Sung. Havve rushed in knowing that Sung could get nightmares and some would be almost over bearing for him.
DOCTOR? Havve asked.
“ Not a nightmare, just a little guy in my bed.” Sung says, getting up off the floor.
LITTLE GUY? Havve asked.
Both Sung and Havve moved closer to the bed and lifted the sheets. There they saw a small toddler, one that looked just like Phobos.
“ Me and Phobos just talked about this.” Sung says, getting both of them to laugh.
The laughter woke up Phobos. He sat up and looked scared cause Meouch wasn’t there. His eyes started to get big; tears and wails came pouring out of Phobos. Due to the crying there was a scared feeling within the room. The feeling was so strong that Sung started to get jelly legs. Havve was quick to get Sung on the ground in case he did fall. Meouch could hear the cries and rushed upstairs to Sung’s room seeing the mess. Phobos saw Meouch and raised his arms up, his wails calming down and his tears slowing down as well. Meouch picked Phobos up and turned back to Sung and Havve, both on the floor.
“ Morning guys.” Meouch smiles, “ See you met Little Phobos,” Meouch chuckles.
“ You knew?” Sung asked, as he and Havve got off the ground.
“ He woke up in the middle of the night and we slept downstairs.” Meouch says, using his paw-hand to wipe Phobos’s tears.
ARE YOU OKAY DOCTOR? Havve asked, still concerned for Sung.
“ Yeah, yeah, Phobos is starting to calm down, so I should be fine.” Sung says.
“ Phobos, these are the other royal protectors, like me,” Meouch says, pointing to Havve and Sung.
“ Say hello, Phobos.” Meouch adds.
The rest of the day was quiet, Phobos didn’t talk much but he didn’t sign either. When Sung watched Phobos; Phobos would stare at Sung’s core, enjoying the blues and whites that showed. When Havve watched him, Phobos would always giggle and the other three couldn’t tell why.
It was evening and they were all hanging out in the living room when they got a call. It showed NSP so they answered the phone. On the screen appeared Danny and Brian which scared Phobos to hide behind Meouch.
“ Hey guys! How have my favorite aliens been?” Danny asked, with a smile.
“ Hey Danny, Brian! We are good, you? What’s been happening?” Sung answered.
“ We’ve been good too, right Brian?” Danny asked.
“ Besides running from the Dick Elders, everything else has been fine.” Brain said.
“ That’s great, have they ever caught you guys?” Meouch asked.
“ Uh, I have, once. That was a bad time,” Danny said, “ Um, who’s the little shy lad behind you Meouch?” Danny asked.
“ Oh right,” Meouch says, being able to calm Phobos and pick him up, “ This is Lord Phobos.” Meouch adds, as Phobos waves his hand.
“ He’s adorable!” Danny said in aw.
“ What happened?” Brain asked.
“ We’ll explain that later.” Meouch answered.
“ So, what’s up guys?” Sung asked.
“ Oh right, we called to tell you that we will be in town in about two weeks?” Danny says, looking to Brian for confirmation, “ Yeah, two weeks.”
“ Oh perfect, that sounds good.” Sung says then they end the call.
DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT CHILD’S COLD? Havve asked.
“ It’ll be fine, don’t worry.” Meouch says.
Sung and Phobos made pasta for dinner, Phobos would try to help but since he was small he couldn’t do a lot. Sung let him stir the sauce and Phobos enjoyed doing that based on his consent giggling. They ate dinner and enjoyed watching the toddler play with his food.
After dinner Phobos fell asleep on the couch signaling to the others that they will have their normal Phobos back by the next day. Meouch carefully picked Phobos up and took him to his room and in his bed. Once Meouch walked out of the room he ran into Sung who was smiling.
“ What?” Meouch asked.
“ Phobos took to you the most, even after your history.” Sung says.
“ Yeah yeah, come on, let’s get some sleep.” Meouch says, confusing Sung.
“ It’s barely nine at night.” Sung says.
“ Well, I'm going to bed, see you in the morning.” Meouch says, walking into his room.
“ Night Meouch.” Sung says, going downstairs.
~~~~~~~
The next morning Phobos woke up and he was happy to see that everything wasn’t scary. Once out of bed and a change of clothes he went downstairs to find Meouch drinking coffee. Meouch’s back was turned away so Phobos clapped his hands to get his attention. The clapping scared Meouch to almost drop his coffee. He turned around and gave Phobos a big smile.
“ Hey Phobos!” Meouch cheered.
“ Did I have child’s cold yesterday?” Phobos asked.
“ Yes you did.” Sung says, as he walks in.
“ Just my luck.” Phobos signed.
“ You were fine, Meouch here took care of you the most.” Sung says, surprising Phobos.
“ You took care of me? Thank you.” Phobos signed giving Meouch a hug.
“ No problem Phob, that’s what we do.” Meouch said.
I SEE PHOBOS IS BACK TO HIS AGE. Havve says walking into the kitchen.
Phobos took a look at Havve and started to giggle, confusing the others.
“ What’s so funny?” Meouch asked.
“ Havve eyes, they look like he’s turning on and off when he blinks.” Phobos signs, still giggling.
The other three laugh and tell Phobos that as a toddler he would giggle when Havve watched him but they could never tell why. Now they know and find it funny.
There you go guys, sorry this took so long, hope you enjoy -Lost
