Zim
Zim is fast asleep in his bed dreaming. The dream is a series of flashes and pictures. An image of a man of his species next to a woman of his species shows up. They look like royalty, like a king and queen. Standing by their feet is a young alien that looks very much like himself as a young Irken child. A flashback comes to him. The woman comes outside and sees the child and calls to him. "Zim, come inside, its time for dinner" they walk inside and eat together as a family. He hears invader warships fly above and land near the house. "Mommy what's going on?" the child asks the woman. Invaders bust down the door and tell them that they are taking their son away. The invader explains that as the king and queen of planet Irk, they aren't allowed to see their son until he is old enough to rule and after he has his first born. The woman tells Zim to go with the invaders…
Zim awakens to the sound of screaming and crying. He looks around worriedly, then calms down when he realizes that he has come back to reality. He looks beside him and sees Gaz trying to drown out the sound with her pillow. He puts his hand on her shoulder and tells her that he'll get her this time. He looks at the clock and it says 3:15 a.m. He sighs, gets out of bed and heads to the kitchen. He opens the refrigerator and pulls out a bottle of green liquid. He grimaced. I can't believe that a baby can drink this stuff. Well that's kinda our fault since she's human and I'm Irken. He sighed. He walked to the baby's room and picked her up. He sat down in a rocking chair and gave her the bottle of milk. After about 10 minutes he took it from her and burped her, then put the bottle back in her mouth. After she finished off the entire bottle of milk he burped her again then put her back in her crib. She instantly fell asleep. He put the bottle in the sink and went back to bed.
The next morning…
GAZ
I awakened to sunshine and a breeze through the window. I feel like I have just awaken from the greatest sleep of my life. Then I jump up realizing that I don't remember getting up to feed Harmony at all last night. I looked over at Zim to see him on the floor next to the bed. I smiled and got up and lifted him into the bed. Originally I'd have woke him up but I can tell he let me sleep and dealt with Harmony all night, so I'll let him sleep. I've told him before not to do that but everyone knows guys and their ego's (no offense to guys). I went in to make breakfast.
2 hours later
Zim walks into the kitchen yawning. "Morning" I said as I walked over and kissed him. "Unh" he replied obviously still sleepy. "Zim can you answer this one question for me?" I asked him hoping he would get upset. I get a kick out of bothering him. It's just so fun. "What? Don't you see I'm tired? Can I just have some quiet time for a while?" he asked slightly annoyed. "No. Since you cant do ONE thing I ask. I mean you never do anything for me. Can you answer me one question, damn" I said trying to sound like he's the type of guy that doesn't do anything all day.
I knew he wouldn't feel like arguing so I knew he would give in saying…"Okay what's wrong". "I sat down in front of him looking thankful. I gave him a look that meant I was serious, then said "Why cant you let me get the baby once in a while, you know I hate when you do everything." I said smiling. He nodded realizing that I was joking with him and said "Oh you think your funny huh?" then pushed the table aside and grabbed me. I tried to run, but I couldn't stop laughing. He pushed me down and sat on top of me. "You think that's funny huh?" he said smiling. "Yup and you know it is too, I mean you should've seen your face you really looked mad" said trying to hold in my laugh. "I'll show you funny" he said and bega to tickle me. I couldn't stop laughing, I began to laugh uncontrollably when we both stopped and got quiet.
We heard a faint crying and both ran to the refrigerator. I got to the milk first and put it into the bottle warmer. After about 10 minutes I took it and took it to Harmony. After coming back downstairs I watched t.v, that's when the day began.
