“What’s up, lil’un?” you cooed, as the baby sniffled into your legs. You pat his dark, short curls as he whined and held tightly to you. You couldn’t help the fond chuckle that escaped you as you picked him up, balancing him on your hip, “Sweet baby, it’s okay! Where’s your bubba, Echo?”
Echo fisted at his teary eyes, whimpering at you. You pressed your forehead against his, “Let’s go find Fives, okay?”
He wrapped his arms around your neck, and you gave him a soft kiss to his cheek, beginning your trek to find the small boy’s twin. It wasn’t hard, you just followed the sound of squealing giggles and adults baby talking, until you saw a group of older clones coddling and tickling the miniature soldier. You rolled your eyes, biting your lip to hold back giggles. As soon as he looked up, his big brown eyes locking with your soft gaze, he smiled so wide and practically lunged out of the ori’vod’s arms he was in with a screaming laughter. The brother caught him, the entire group of troopers following his line of sight that made him get all rowdy. When they saw you walk up with Echo in your arms, they all parted out of the way.
“Look, the nurse has got another vod’ika!”
“The lil guys are all so kriffin’ cute!”
“Uh, n-nurse?”
You turned to a soldier who was shuffling on his feet, smiling sweetly at him, “Yes trooper?”
“Can I, uh. Hold the kih’vod? Please?”
You couldn’t help it as your grinned widened. The trooper had the same honeyed puppy dog eyes the twins always gave you, and you found it incredibly endearing that they’d keep their sweet gaze even as they grew up so unjustifiably quickly. You cleared your throat, trying not to dwell too hard on the thought, “Sorry, Echo isn’t like his twin over there. He’s a little shy, doesn’t like to be touched by many. But you know what, stop by the pediatric ward later, there’s a few babies that have quite the personalities- just ask for Y/N.”
You gave him a conspiratorial wink as he nodded excitedly at you. You continued your walk up to the clone holding Fives, and you leaned down to the baby, cooing just as you had to his twin, “There’s my little troublemaker!”
Fives grabbed at your face with a joyful squeal, giving you playful slaps against your cheeks and jaw. He turned back to the brother who was holding him, babbling and gripping at his filled out scruff, just a couple days away from being a proper beard. You laughed at the trooper’s obvious delight, even through the slight twitch of his brow in the discomfort, “You like his beard, Fives?”
“He’s been holding onto it the past five minutes,” the soldier chuckled at you, passing the giggly toddler over to you, “He’s gonna be a great vod, someday. Was able to make us all smile today, it’s been rough, but this guy. This lil’un is a ray of sunshine.”
“He is,” you agreed with a wide smile, pressing your nose into the baby’s face to lay a smacking kiss to his cheek, “Say bye, Fives!”
“Bah-bah!” Fives waves frantically, showing off for all his new friends. The troopers all visibly melted, waving and shouting all their farewells as you walked back to the nursery. You really loved these twins.
