Mummah Lucy and Babbeh Derek

~aka Lucy, Eric and Derek~

~Prologue~

You are a Fluffy
You have been in the shelter for a forever

Forever ago, you were living with a special friend in a nearby alleyway
however, your special friend never came back one day while hunting for nummies. You fear the worst
you finally gave birth, but all your foals are stillborn
with nothing left in your life, the only thing you have by your side is an old stuffy friend, with one its weggies missing
it was the last gift from your special friend to you, and the only thing you have left
you hug it while repeating the words “wan die” continuosly
in your grief, you ignore the bright shining light, and the hummie munstah
he gives you a hurtie, and for a while, you feel like you are getting the forever-sleepies

in your cage, you can hear the nearby fluffies pleading to various hummmehs, repeating crys of “be nyu dadded” and “giv huggies pliz”
you pay no attention to them, as you keep hugging your stuffy friend
suddenly, a hummeh face looks at you
the mummeh and daddeh look at each other, and then look at you again
you try to understand the hummeh mumble

“This one, this one, reminds me of Lucy.”

you put aside your stuffy friend, feeling inquisitive
in the distance, you can see the mummeh and daddeh talk to another hummeh, a fellow mummah
the three then come to you
you then say the words that many ferals have come to say

“Nyu daddeh?”

the daddeh smiles and says the word you always wanted to hear

“Yes.”

~

you are lost
Mummah and daddeh had left you at a nearby daycare but, a lone butterfly flew into the daycare
being the curious little fluff you are, you keep chasing it
focusing only on the butterfly, you don’t realize that you are now outside the daycare
as you reach into the streets, you then realize something
you are lost

its nighttime
you have headed to a nearby alleyway
it is the only security you know
you try to look for fluff code, the symbols that fellow fluffs like you draw to indicate safe and dangerous spaces
so far, you find nothing
there is a nearby dumpster
you and your special friend had scavenged for food from these places before
it seems to be that no other fluffy has lived in this area yet
but you have seen some big and ugly hummehs that do
maybe thats why the fluffs avoid this place
as you reach the dumpster, you try to look for nummies. You have not eaten for a while
you then hear a cry.

beside the dumpster, a hummeh mummah lies on the ground
she has no clothes-fluff at the bottom, only skin
you shake her, while saying
“Mummah?”
you keep shaking her, trying your best to get her to wake up
you then hear the cry

Moving up, near what looks like the hummeh nu-nus, you see a little hummeh
a little hummeh
alone in the world
crying

“Babbeh?”

~Part 1~

for the past forevers, mummah and daddeh have been looking after you, and raising you to be the good fluffy that you are
you learn to use the litterbox, you learn to take a bath and smeww pretty, and you learn how to watch FluffTV
for the most part, life has been good. you get upsies, you play blockies, and you get sketties and kibbow

but in the living room, you see a picture of mummah and daddeh with a third hummeh
he looks like a little version of daddeh
you ask your owners

“Who is dis hummeh in picshah?”

mummah and daddeh are silent
you see mummah walk away. She is about to cry
dadded is starting to frown
you feel like as though you have huwt them

“Fwuffy sorry. Fwuffy no mean tu-”

“No, Lucy.”

Daddeh sits down on the sofa. He beckons you to come and sit by his side
removing his glasses, Daddeh then says

“That is Eric. He’s daddeh’s babbeh.”

you are surprised

“Hummehs have babbehs?”
“Yes Lucy. Hummehs have babbehs too.”

Feeling elated, you ask the question

“Can meet Eric babbeh?”

Daddeh hesitates.

“I’m afraid not Lucy. He…he…”

Daddeh starts to cry. You have never seen a daddeh cry before.
you can tell that from his lips that the words he is trying to utter is “forever sleepies”
Feeling a mutual sense of pain, you give him huggies. He holds on to you tight

“Fwuffy understan’. Fwuffy wost babbehs tu.”

~

that was forever ago
With that memory in your head, you realize that the little hummeh in the allieway is the babbeh of this mummah
the mummah has gone into forever sleepies
you know not why
you see sharpie huwties nearby. the sort the hummeh munstah gave you to sleepeh a forever ago
whoever it was, whatever it was, they huwt the hummeh mummah and made her forever sleep
and only the hummeh babeh is left
you were a mummah once before
well, almost was
but you have also seen other mummahs tend to their babbehs after birth
a part of you wants to head out after when its brighty times, and look for your mummah and daddeh
but the hummeh babbeh is crying

you lick the hummeh
the smeww is not pretty. He is covered in blood
you keep licking him, trying to make him a clean babbeh
after a while, not a forever, babbeh looks clean
babbeh is still crying though
you are not sure he wants
he keeps tugging at your legs, his little babbeh hands resting on your teat, your miwkie places

“Miwkies?”

babbehs. miwkies. babbehs. miwkies
you remember the song from before, and then, you realize

“Oh! Babbeh drink miwkies!”

you slowly let the hummeh babbeh nestle upon your leg, and let him drink from your miwkies
as he keeps suckling you, you sing the song

“Mummah wuv babbehs,
Babbehs wuv mummah,
Babbehs dwink miwkies,
Gwow big an stwong”

after a while, babbeh falls asleep
babbeh has no name though
as you remember daddeh mention his own babeh, many forevers ago, you come to a decision

“Mummah help find safe place for mummah and babeh Dewek.”

You load the hummeh babbeh on your back. He is sound asleep
you walk off, and attempt to look for a safe place in the alleyway

it has been a forever now
you tried counting the number of times the moon has appeared above you
you can only count up to ten
so it is a about ten moons and a few
counting forever is difficult

you found a safe place. It is an area behind the dumpster
the other ugleh hummehs do not seem to know of this place
it feels like the place your special friend and you once lived in, a bright forever ago
special friend
mummah. daddeh.
your eyes to start to well up
however, the little hummeh babbeh reaches out to you
the babbeh gives you huggies
you hug babbeh back
for now, he is the only thing you have in the world

while curling up to your babbeh, you hear hummeh voices

“So she died around here?”
“Yeah. Stupid crack-whore OD’ed and died near the dumpster. Was pregnant with a baby.”
“Huh? Whose the baby daddy?”
“No idea. Bitch was fucking around. Hell, she was partying the night she died, thats why she OD’ed. The coroner said that she wasn’t raped, but rather, gave birth that night.”
“You’re saying to me that the reason why she was half-naked was because she was trying to give birth?”
“Exactly, but the stupid bitch was having a really heavy trip that night. Now we got to find that crackbaby.”

you feel hatred as you hear the next response

“Why? He’s most likely dead. Fucking son of a whore.”
“Yeah well, we’re not in a place to judge. Besides, I think no baby should die in a place like this.”
“You think too highly of these whores. They’re like the shit-rats. They don’t contribute to society, they are only good for eating, sleeping, fucking, and of course, leaving a fucking mess.”
“Well, lets just keep searching anyway. We’re paid to do this shit”

You hang on to your babbeh
for some reason, you don’t want these people to find him and you, yet.

its been a forever again
the moon has appeared many times
someone had thrown away a lot of used markers
you remember an episode of FluffTV about counting
with a marker in your mouth, you have tried to count
so far, you have managed three row of ten lines. Three of ten moons
that’s a really long forever

babbeh is okay.
he drinks miwkies, he sleeps, and he’s fine
he’s still smaww though
he’s not a fluffy. He has no fluff, and depends on you not to fee’ cowd
you want to play upsies with him, but he can barely walk
you want to talk to him, but he cannot speak
he does a lot of poopies
you try to teach him that good poopies go in the litterbox you made
he’s too stupid to do that
as you think about it, you realize
hummeh babbeh is not like fluffy.
Fluffy babbeh can grow up fast, but hummeh babbeh can’t

you miss mummah and daddeh
you know what to do

you take the marker. you draw a little housie, and then, draw a checkmark, for some other fluffy in future
you then do what you have to

Part 2

You are Officer Leroy
You are a parking enforcement officer
its a shitty job. People yell at you. People abuse you. You’ve gotten into a few fights
but it pays all the same
you’re about to issue a ticket when something tugs at your pants
ah great, it’s another one of these shit-rats

“Fuck off ya piece of shit. I got work to do”
“Please, kind mista, be nyu daddeh for babbeh”

you want to kick on it. Stomp it
but then you see the belt around its neck
this fluffy belongs to someone
you bend down, ready to pick it up
a job’s a job, and you got to return the fluffy to its owner

“Mistah, please! Dere a babbeh nearby!!”

the fluffy is struggling violently. You fear she’s going to poop on you, like these shitrats usually do

“Look, I’m not your ‘nyu daddeh’. I don’t about your shitrats. Come along with m-”

as you are about to finish your sentence, you hear the loud shrill
its the cry of a human baby
The shitrat is trying to tell you something

“Hummeh babbeh! Hummeh babbeh nee’ hewp!!”

you’re not paid off enough for this
but you’re not a monster
you put the fluffy down. It immediately runs
stopping for a quick moment, it turns to you and says

“Dis way mista! Huwwy!!!”

The fluffy darts into a corner, and then, into a tight spot
its not too far behind a dumspter
you then see it
a human baby. In what seems like a makeshift dwelling
somehow, this fluffy managed to find a basket, some clothes to place the human baby in it
nearby there is some markers, some toys, and a lot of poop
oddly enough, the fluffy poop is in one area, while the human poop is all over the damn place

you reach for your walkie-talkie

“Hello, Central, I would like to report a baby.”
“What is it Leroy?”
“There is a fucking human baby here! About a month old. How it survived, I have no id-”

while trying to call your superiors, you see the fluffy trying to tend to the little runt
the fluffy is singing some shitty song, but the baby keeps crying
the baby seems to be reaching for the fluffy’s legs
the baby is drinking from the fluffy’s teat
you’re trying to make sense of it

“Leroy? Leroy?!”

you vomit
you look up again. The fluffy is still breastfeeding the human baby
you vomit again

“Leory!”
“I…I think the shitrat has been-”

you vomit again
trying not to feel disgusted, and looking at your breakfast all over the floor, mixed in with the shit, you try to hold the walkie-talkie to your mouth again

“P-please despathe an ambulance around here.”
“For the baby?”
“For me. And maybe the baby too”

You are Robert
for about a month now, your wife and you have been in distress
your son, Eric, died from a brain tumour little more then a year ago
looking for a way to fill the void in your life, both your wife and you designed to get a pet
you decided to adopt a fluffy
your co-workers and elder family have advised against it, recommending a cat or a dog instead, but, you have your reasons for picking a fluffy
you decide to pick a shelter fluffy, since word is that reformed feral fluffies tend to be more obedient and hardier than pedigree or purebreed fluffs
Lucy has been a good fluff in the time you have raised her
but one day, she disappeared
your wife and you are worried
you’ve been putting up posters, and ask around

then one day, you get a call
its the police
Lucy has been found! You feel elated.

“Thank God. Is she okay?”
“Yes sir. Your fluffy is at our office, eating spaghetti, and waiting for you. But there’s something you should know-”

the officer tells you about the discovery they made, of Lucy tending to a baby

“A baby?”
“Yeah. The son of a sex worker. The pony found him abandoned and must have raised him.”

Huh. you didn’t think any fluffy could do that

“I’m happy Lucy’s safe, but, how is the baby?”
“The baby’s fine, but he’s been crying non-stop. He keeps reaching out for your fluffy for some reason.”

You think for a moment.

~

its night
you are finally reunited with daddeh and mummah
everyone’s happy
but you are thinking

“Is Dewik otay, daddeh?”

mummah has gone to the bathroom to shower
daddeh sit down, and beckons you to sit by his side
you cower a bit

“Pwease don’t be angwy daddeh. Fwuffy w-”
“I know Lucy. Come here.”

You climb up
there’s a vestigal memory.
You cannot remember, for it was many, many a forever ago
even before you met the special friend
but you always feared to make someone angry
daddeh, however, strokes your mane, and gives you a huggie

“Daddeh?”

Daddeh hugs you.

“You’re a good mummah, Lucy. I don’t know if many fluffs can do what you did.”

you smile
but the thought is in your head
something more important

“Is dewick otay, daddeh?”

Daddeh looks you, puzzled

“Is that his name, Derek?”
“Weww, Fwuffy thought of daddeh babbeh, Ewick, and wanted to name hummie babeh after 'im. It a bit siwwy, but fwuffy was 'tinkin”

huh
fluffies really are more complex than you thought

“I tell you what Lucy. I’ll call the hospital, and check if babbeh Derek is okay.”
“Tanks daddeh. Fwuffy hope Dewick can fine nyu famiwy.”

~

A week later, daddeh and mummah has a surprise for you
its Derek!
you wittwe babbeh is now with a hummeh mummah and daddeh
your hummeh mummah and daddeh!

“Oh, tank you, tank you daddeh!! Tank you mummah!!”

you prance up and down

“No. Thank YOU, Lucy.”

Daddeh carries you, and places you in the cot
Derek reaches out, and hugs you
he’s sleeping with his cute baby face

“Mummah wuv Derek babbeh”

There’s no greater joy in the world

~Epilogue~

You are Robert
its been a full year now
little Derek has grown up quite well
despite being weak when he was found, he has grown up reasonably well
your wife has opted to take some maternity leave to look after baby Derek but, more often than not, Lucy has been watching her
Lucy has helped Derek take his first steps on a stroller, and teaching him how to play blocks
Lucy also keeps an eye on Derek, making sure he sleeps well
only thing she can’t do is tie a diaper for Derek, but thats your job (also mummahs)
it feels like a fresh start

you can feel it now.
Derek is going to say his first word
Your wife, Wendy, you and Lucy, are in the room

“Come on Derek!”
“Come on!”
“Come on babbeh Dewik! Dew it! Say mummah!”

Derek struggles but manages to say

“Mah. mah.”

both Wendy and you clap your hands
however, Derek crawls up to Lucy
Lucy is a bit shocked. But Derek says it again.

“Mama.”

As Derek keeps hugging Lucy tighly, Lucy smiles
a tear falls from her eye

“Babbeh.”

Wendy looks a bit confused. But you understand. and after a while, she understands too.

"Derek will grow out of it.

But this is all thanks to Lucy."

THE END (for now)

The first story I wrote for the booru, now uploaded to the new website. Originally done in greentext, I decided to keep the formatting done in this version as it looks different, and seems to work well with my approach of separating dialogue from the other greentext parts.

There might be a continuation, but it will still be hugbox.

For those who want the original greentext version, you can read it on Reddit, my Pastebin, or the Fluffstory pastebin.

Damn, that was really sweet and happy. Thanks for uploading it again. I really like how you write

Probably my favourite hugbox story of all time, thank you for this dear friend

I’ve been thinking of rewriting this story, but maybe not in greentext. One of the criticisms I got was that they story would better as a “normal” narrative.

I still need to get round to doing a sequel.

Holy crap, you invented an interesting twist and executed it well. Probably one of the best hugbox stories I’ve read in my life as a fluffyposter.

This is truly a beautiful story. Lucy is the bestest girl in the world. I did have a bit of trouble following the timeline, though. How did Lucy end up back on the street after her human parents first adopted her? Did she just get lost one day while playing outside?

It’s mentioned she followed a butterfly from daycare outside and got lost. @FluffyUFOPilot

This is adorable, and oddly believable. Good Lucy! Makes me wonder if fluffies in this universe will start becoming nannies.

I’d say its definitely a possibility! In fact, part of my original plan for stories with Lucy invovled her looking after Derek as they grew older. But I started writing some other stories as time went on.
Speaking of which, I want to mention that @Pinkyfluffy drew one of the best fluffy nanny/babysitter stories I’ve seen. It is my hope that he uploads it to this site someday : D

This was actually one of the first stories I read when I joined FC, but I lost it and didn’t find it again until much later.

It’s one of my favorite stories, and very much encapsulates how I imagine fluffies. Derek calling Lucy mama at the end was so beautiful.
