Huge thanks to DummehBabbeh for allowing me to incorporate Stevie and Jackie into a story.
You are Hoagie .
Today a nice lady dropped off a fluffy at the house for a play date .
Gwandma apologizes on behalf of daddeh .
“Duncan is currently recovering from some stress induced illnesses , he should be back to his usual routine by tomorrow at the latest. “
As the two chitchat about things you don’t understand, a little purple and sky blue fluffy waddles up to you.
You greet them with a cross eyed smile.
“Hewwo neu Fwiend ! Am Hoagie.”
The little fluffy taps his hooves happily.
“Am seebie ! (Toot)”
You lead Stevie over to Daddehs room.
“Dis am wewe Daddeh sweepie . Gwandma say daddeh am weawwy sweepie wight nau su nu go inside nau.”
You look over and see Stevie waddle right through the open door .
“Um seebie pwease nu du dat.”
“Hello…(yawn) little one. I’m sorry but I can’t play with you right now.”
You see Daddehs hand gently scoot Stevie out of the room and close the door behind him.
Stevie lets out a disappointed (peep).
You try to think of something to do , then it hits you.
“Seebei wan nummies?”
Seebies ears perk up at the mention of food.
“Skettie!?”
You put your front hoof around Stevie.
“Hoagie got sumthin bettah den sketties.”
You waddle over to Jessie who is coming in from feeding the outside fluffies.
“Can hoagie an neu fwiend hab pickwe an pastwami sandwich?”
Jessie wipes his brow.
“Sure thing little guy.”
As Jessie fixes the sandwich’s you hear Daddehs footsteps behind you.
Jessie looks up.
“Oh hey bro… I thought you were supposed to be resting?”
Daddeh looks very very tired. He has thick dark green circles under his eyes.
Jessie is caught off guard by the walking husk that is his older brother.
“Duncan…you look …… “
Daddeh smiles.
“ like shit?”
Jessie clears his throat.
“I’ve fed the outside fluffy’s , cleaned the litter boxes in the safe room and sanitized all the toys and blankets.”
Daddeh raises an eyebrow.
“What about the outside litter boxes?”
Jessie stares at him blankly .
“There are outside litter boxes?”
Daddeh pats Jessie on the back.
“ you’ve done a lot today….Let me take care of….”
Daddeh sits down in the recliner.
“On second thought… I’m just going to sit here for a moment…. If it’s alright… Jessie would you please bring me some…… Kvass? Just skim the film off the surface of the liquid before….bringing me the mason jar.”
Jessie gives both you and Stevie the sandwiches before following Daddehs instructions.
“Oh you are the best brother anyone could ever ask for.”
A woman walks in the living room.
“Well well well… never thought I’d see you actually relaxing Duncan . Good for you.”
Daddeh cracks a weak smile.
“Jackie… how are you….doing? It’s so nice to see you again. Sorry for not greeting you at the door.”
Jackie sighs.
“How many times do have to tell you?
Stop apologizing for everything!”
Daddeh chuckles softly.
“Force of habit.”
Jackie walks over to the recliner and pets Odis.
“You make sure to keep Daddeh out of trouble ok?”
Odis coos .
“Oh my God! Duncan you have to let me hold him!”
“Sure thing Jackie….just please be careful ! Also I want to hold Stevie.”
Daddeh hands Odis to Jackie and Jessie hands Stevie to Daddeh.
Jackie giddy as a school girl , sits down on the couch and begins playing peekaboo with Odis.
Daddeh begins gently petting Stevie.
“Hey little guy… how are you doing?”
Stevie lets out a loud (TOOT).
Daddeh chuckles.
“More room out than there was in.”
Jackie continues to play with Odis for a few more minutes before remembering she has errands to run.
“Ok it’s time for me to go but don’t worry I’ll be back later to pick up my fluffy.”
Jackie turns to Daddeh.
Thanks again for watching Steve for….”
Daddeh is fast asleep in the recliner with Stevie curled up in his lap also asleep.
Jackie looks at odis .
“How about some ice cream ?”
Odis coos and claps his front hooves together.
“Just take some extra diapers and baby….wipes…zzzzzz ….Jessie please give the…schedule thank you….zzzz”
Jessie hands her a pamphlet and a baby bag full of everything she needs to take care of Odis for the next 6 hours.
Jackie looks at the barely conscious Duncan.
“Are you sure it’s alright?”
“You can take Hoagie with z……with you too….zzz”
