Ding-dong!
"What the heck is a package doing here, please don't tell me he ordered something, using the charge card." Carol said annoyedly, noticing the box on the door of the Avengers compound.
"What did you think I did?" she heard a familiar voice ask, seeing a certain brown-red furred male in his team armour, peeking inside the box made his brown eyes widen in shock seeing an infant of his species seeing Carol read the letter, despite the fact Rocket was shocked and deciding to adopt the kit.
"No way is fir and blood going to a Terran shelter, besides if I can handle raising Groot as a sapling, then I can handle her." he said picking the sleepimg infant up holding her in his furry arms seeing her big brown eyes open, full of curiousity and innocence besides imprinting on him which Carol thought cute.
"Hey there, I'm daddy and that's Aunt Sparkle fists." Rocket said making Carol shake her head at what he was saying, hoping the kit would grow up well knowing things were going to be intresting, seeing Rocket walking around with the infant showing her everything, plus using a video camera.
"Oh that's Uncle Groot, daddy's brother, but he's very sweet, Kari." he said seeing she liked the name as it was cute like her, tellijg Groot what was going on which the treelike being thought great, making Rocket chuckle despite knowing what some of the others might say, seeing she was hungry going to the kitchen so he could feed her seeing Groot helpimg hold Kari gently in his vines while Rocket was getting milk.
"Yeah all infants love milk, you know?" he said to him, feeding Kari seeing her gulping down the bottle making them chuckle.
"It's her first day here and she's already awesome, you know?" Rocket said to him seeing Groot nod and was helping burp Kari which Carol and the others could hear which was cute after Carol explained knowing this might be good for Rocket, so was letting him be.
"She's so gonna wear him out tonight, that's for sure." Scott said to them.
"Aww somebody likes her crib, even though daddy just made it a few hours ago, and the others thought I could not do this." Rocket said to Kari after puttig her in, putting the blankie she'd arrived in around her, which was helping her settle, goijg to sleep relieving him going to do stuff hoping that Kari would be alright, but after a while heard her crying, making his protective instincts go wild, going to his room seeing Kari awake, making him guess that she wanted him, picking her up gently.
"Awww it's alright sweetie, when I was your age, I didn't want to sleep either." he said while sitting on his bed while rocking his furry bundle of joy gently, which she was responding to hearing him singing, unaware Carol could hear him, impressed by what he was doimg, seeing Kari getting sleepy which was a good thing seeing him kissing Kari's furry head before putting her back in her crib.
"Guess he knows what he's doing after all, but hope he'll be alright." she told herself leaving him be, going to her room.
Later the next morning, Rocket was a little tired but it was alright, because he was becoming attached to Kari, which the others could see, seeing him feeding her which was kind of cute, along with burping her making them chuckle hoping she would stay calm, while he and the others were training so was making a playpen for her makijg Carol impressed by how well hewas taking good care of Kari, wondering who had sent her to Rocket.
"I don't know Marv, but it does not matter, you know?" Rocket replied to her, putting baby toys as well as cat toys in the playpen, for Kari to play with while he was with the others, hoping that would keep her amused, relieving the others while he was making himself stromg coffee to wake himself up.
"Somebody should take an nap later, since you were up all night with Kari, well after training." Carol pointed out.
"I guess, but hope that Kari doesn't need me too much." Rocket replied to her yawning.
