Tiny fingers, tiny ears. tiny nose. The baby’s eyes were big and dark blue with the thickest of lashes: Like colt eyes. He had that fresh baby smell - of softness and slight sweetness and baby shampoo. Felix bubbled happily, blowing bubbles as he kicked and squirming in his Aunt Rikki’s lap - unfortunately though; said kicks came from the little hooves that were at the end of fuzzy legs that started at the baby’s knees. Horse-like legs.
And while the kicks were not painful; they weren’t comfortable either.
“Oof-You got quite a kick there-” Rikki said, catching the feet and she gave that baby’s ankles a tickle. Felix squealed and babbled more, plump face squished up into a happy baby-smile.
“Whoops! Sorry- here.” Loki said as he entered the living room; prepared bottle in one hand, and he quickly moved to the babybag; tossing Rikki some patted booties. “Thanks - though if you could endure this for nine months I think I can handle a little kicking post bath.” She, though she slid the booties on. Felix grunted, puffing a bit - He had caught sight of the bottle and he cooed once it was handed over.
“Do you need help getting him turned right?” Loki asked - the young god eyeing Rikki with a small amount of nervousness: Nervous parent first-time parent syndrome. “Nah, I remember-” Even if she too was nervous. The baby was so small and fragile feeling. And squirmy when he was hungry. She managed alright though, supporting his head and watched as the baby latched onto the nipple to suckle as if he was starving.
Rikki found herself smiling softly, looking up at Loki as the god sat down beside her.
“…Getting anymore sleep?” She asked and Loki gave a lopsided grin. “A bit more. He’s starting to sleep through most of the night…We should be able to get a full night’s tonight though. Thanks for watching him for the evening, Rikki. Svadi and I really appreciate it.” Loki said, reaching out to stroke his fingers through Felix’s hair. The baby grunted a bit, eyes fluttering before they closed.
“Hey, just don’t go making anymore yet-” Ever the watchful and protective sibling. Loki chuckled and he winked at Rikki. “We won’t….but do you and Casey need anything else before I head home?”
Rikki shook her head. “Nah, go on. We got it…”
Loki hesitated for a moment before he leaned in and kissed first the top of Felix’s head and then Rikki’s cheek. “Thanks again, sis. I left his milk in the fridge. If you need anymore; I can always quickly drop by. If he’s any trouble, give me a call..um…”
Rikki grinned a bit. And they said she was the worry-wart- “Go on.” She said, nudging him carefully and Loki sighed. “Okay…thanks.” And he stood, casting one more glance at Felix before he disappeared in a sparkle of green.
And Rikki sagged a bit now that she was alone with the baby. [Well, not alone: Casey was in the next room over, but-]
“So..just us tonight, huh Felix?” The baby opened his eyes sleepily before he closed them again as he continued to drink. She had never had the baby for more then a few hours and Loki had always been close by…they should be fine though. What’s the worst that could happen?
