Lord Phobos woke up confused since he would wake to the smell of breakfast, being made by the Doctor. He checked his phone to see it was about 8:30. It was a late morning.
Phobos rubbed his four eyes and got out of bed. He got dressed and walked out of his room.
He walked downstairs and into the kitchen seeing nothing, not even the coffee maker was on.
LORD PHOBOS? GOOD MORNING. ARE YOU MAKING BREAKFAST? Havve asked scaring Phobos.
“ I guess I can? Where is the Doctor?” Phobos signed.
I DO NOT KNOW. HE MAY STILL BE ON HIS MORNING RUN. Havve said calming Phobos down a bit.
“ I would normally be happy to sleep in but! Ever since we moved here I have been on a schedule. Why did I wake up late?” Meouch called out from the stairs.
Meouch walked into the living room seeing the other two. All three confused, no one wanting to say anything.
Meouch was standing behind the couch, arms crossed and head down, clearly waiting for Sung to come fix the awkward moment. His ears twitch around listening to something from above him. He looked up scaring the others.
“ Follow me.” He said to then start walking to the stairs making the other two jump up and follow him.
They walked up the stairs to then start to hear shuffling coming from Sung’s room.
Meouch reached his door and slowly started to open it. He pushed it open so that all three of them could look inside.
Out of all our rooms, Sung had the most normal looking, normal for aliens that is. He had his bed, dresser, and a desk, with posters along his walls.
“ Doc?” Meouch called out into the room.
They were all startled by movement on the bed. They walked in to see a lump moving under the sheets. Meouch grabbed the sheets and pulled it of the lump. All three gasped seeing the lump was a baby Sung.
“ Is that?” Meouch asked.
DOCTOR? Havve asked waking the toddler.
The kid slowly rose from his position and rubbed his eye. He looked around the room confused. His eye soft and caring, his freckles bright along his face and ears. The shirt clearly too big for him, it draped over him in a loose fashion.
“ What do we do?” Phobos signed catching the kids attention.
“ Phobs.” Sung said raising his arms up like he wants to be picked up.
“ What do I do?” Phobos signed.
“Pick him up, I guess.” Meouch said catching Sung’s attention.
“ Havve, can you scan him.” Phobos signed.
“ Kitty.” Sung said doing the same arm motions.
“ Okay.” Meouch very confused picked up Sung.
Sung snuggled into Meouch’s shoulder and mane, making Meouch’s heart swell at how cute this was.
SCAN COMPLETE. HIS VITALS TELL THAT HE IS SICK. Havve told us.
“ Sick? With what?” Phobos signed.
BASED ON MY KNOWLEDGE, I AM TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS CALLED THE CHILD'S COLD. Havve said.
“ What’s that?” Meouch asked.
IT IS A SICKNESS THAT CAN TURN YOU INTO A TODDLER OF TWO OR THREE. Havve replied.
“ What’s the cure? And where do we find it?” Meouch asked.
I AM SORRY TO SAY. NO CURE HAS BEEN FOUND ON THIS SICKNESS. Havve answered with a sad tone.
“ So… how long will Sung be like this?” Phobos asked.
WELL, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IT IS A NORMAL COLD. IT WOULD LAST THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS A NORMAL COLD. Havve informed the other two.
THE DOCTOR WOULD NEVER ADMIT BUT HIS COLDS WOULD LAST ABOUT TWO DAYS. Havve continued.
“ So? Two days of baby Sung?” Phobos asked.
The three stood there in silence still very confused on what to do.
“ Kitty?” Sung says breaking the silence.
“ Kitty, I want food.” Sung asked.
GUESS WE SHOULD FEED HIM. Havve said.
“ Feed him what, exactly?” Meouch asked.
“ Guess he wants bananas?” Phobos signed.
Havve and Meouch walked downstairs while Phobos went to his room. Meouch placed Sung on the counter. Havve then handed him a banana, almost smiling.
Meouch turn back to see Sung reaching for the banana.
“ Hang on bud, let me open it first.” Meouch said as Phobos entered the kitchen. He had a smile on his face as well.
Meouch peeled open the banana and broke it in half to then give it to Sung. He happily takes it and eats it long ways. Phobos and Havve were giggling making Meouch turn towards them.
He saw that Phobos had his camera and probably had taken a picture of Meouch feeding Sung.
“ Hey? You guys couldn’t tell me?” Meouch complained.
“ Sorry. But you can be in a few pictures, this could make Sung’s day, when he’s back to normal.” Phobos signed.
YES. A SCAPE BOOK OF LITTLE SUNG WITH HIS FRIENDS HELPING HIM. Havve inputted.
“ Okay, okay, just remember, it should be used for a rainy day situation.” Meouch said to then feel a tug on his arm.
He looked down to see Sung wanting to the part of the banana.
“ Oh, here you go bud.” Meouch said giving him the banana to then rub Sung’s head.
DID YOU GET THAT ONE PHOBOS? Havve asked.
Phobos had a huge smile on his face and nodded his head.
“ Wobot!” Sung cheered catching everyone’s attention.
They all looked to Sung, to see him trying to stand on the counter making grabby hands in Havve’s direction.
“ Guess he wants robot.” Meouch joked.
Havve walked forward, quickly, to make sure Sung didn’t hurt himself. Sung wrapped his arms around Havve’s neck, more like a hug then wanting to be picked up.
“ Oh, you know I got a picture of this.” Phobos signed.
It was half past noon, they have all eaten lunch and enjoyed their time with Little Sung.
Meouch was spread out on the couch, watching his phone, with Sung on his lap/stomach playing with toys they had. Phobos was sitting on the floor next to Meouch’s head with his camera in hand. Havve was on the recliner playing on his phone.
Meouch was quick to notice that the movements Sung were making seemed to stop. He pulled his eyes off his phone and noticed that Sung had fallen asleep. Sung had his head leaned against the couch, and in this position he looked exhausted.
Meouch grabbed the toys and placed them on the floor confusing Phobos. He was able to lean Sung down onto his chest without waking him.
Once Sung was on his chest he gripped Meouch’s shirt and pulled it closer to him. Meouch watched as Sung drifted off into a deep sleep. Soon enough Meouch could hear Sung’s heart beat, even if it was a core, at a steady beat. Within a couple minutes Meouch fell asleep.
Phobos giggled getting Havve’s attention. Havve looked to see Sung and Meouch asleep.
TELL ME, YOU GOT A PICTURE OF THEM? Havve asked in almost a whisper.
Phobos gave Havve a thumbs up, as he started to go through some pictures on the camera.
An hour later, with Havve in Sung’s lab, and Phobos in the kitchen, there could be small whimpers. Confused Phobos looked around, he walked back into the living room seeing Sung had woken up. Sung had tears running down his face and was trying not to be loud.
Sung took notice to Phobos seeing him, quickly reaching his hands out. Phobos took Sung off of Meouch and walked back into the kitchen. He placed Sung on the table and stared at each other.
Phobos took his hands and wiped the tears off of Sung’s face, earning some giggles from him. Phobos giggled and thought to himself what can make Sung laugh? Well almost everything.
Phobos studied Sung’s face noticing that his freckles were so much brighter and clearer to see as a little kid. Phobos lifted his hand up to Sung’s face then to boop his nose. This act made Sung burst out into laughter, probably since it tickled him. Another laugh could be heard from across the room, making Phobos look in that direction.
Meouch was giggling, head over the couch with the camera in his hands. Phobos wanted to glare at him but couldn’t, Sung booped his nose, saying a tiny “ boop” when he did.
“ Hey Phobs, you think Sung will remember any of this?” Meouch asked.
THAT IS ON THE NEGATIVE END OF THE STICK COMMANDER. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE HE WILL REMEMBER ANY OF THIS. Havve said entering the kitchen.
“ Bummer. Uh, next question, is there a chance that the three of us could get it?” Meouch asked.
I AM UNCERTAIN. THE PROBABILITY OF YOU AND PHOBOS GETTING THIS COLD DEPENDS ON THE TIME ERA YOU ARE FROM. Havve said.
“ Time era? Which one is Sung from?” Meouch asked.
I AM UNCERTAIN ABOUT THAT AS WELL. SO THE CHANCE OF YOU GUYS GETTING IT WON'T BE SLIM.
“ How come you won't get it?” Phobos asked.
I AM MAINLY A ROBOT, WITH VERY LITTLE ORGANIC MATERIALS WITHIN ME. IT WOULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TURN INTO A TODDLER. Havve added.
“ Hey, Sung? Who do you want to stay with tonight?” Meouch asked.
I AM OUT THEN. I DON’T HAVE A NORMAL BED. HE SHOULD STAY WITH ONE OF YOU.
