This was something random after my best friend Heather told me something sweet involving Rocketband Groot and a little something from Infinity War along with the Thimg James Gunn revealed you know?
I don't know if this is going to be one shots orva big story, but I hope you guys enjoy
It was a few months after defeating Ronan and saving Xandar but it was late night/early morning so while everybody was asleep, Rocket was still awake after thinking about things hearing music making him curious seeing a certain little sapling was awake.
"I am Groot, I am Groot, I am Groot." he heard it say, making his eyes widen in surprise, at this as he knew it would work getting and planting the seeds in that flowerpot was a good idea, since he had missed him after what happened on Xandar so knew the others would be surprised when they found out.
"It's good to see you too, bud and the others will be surprised, when they find out." he told Groot as the sapling wrapped a tiny finger around half of Rocket's furry one, making feelings bubble up in him.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, as I was worried." Rocket told him, feeling better plus it seemed like his adopted son did not want to sleep knowing he loved music, knowing babies loved being sung to so was singing hoping nobody was up.
"Atta boy, as you need your rest, to grow big and stromg again." he said going to his room since he needed his rest too hoping that little Groot would sleep the rest of the night, lying down in bed, hoping things was good looking at a photo of him and his family from the last time he visited Halfworld, so it was giving him feels.
"So a certain tree is back, how're you feeling about that?" Starlord asked Rocket, while he was making himself coffee to wake himself up mentally plus had been helping his sort of treelike son fall asleep, which had involved singing which he hoped Starlord or the others had not heard, or he would not live that down.
"It's good but it'll take a while before he grows back, a long while." Rocket replied to him, while the others were up hoping that things were alright plus he could take care of Groot as he grew up again, making the others wonder what was going on.
"You were up with Groot right, which is why you look more tired than normal?" Gamora asked seeing Rocket nod, drinking stromg coffee hearing happy sounds as it was little Groot guessing he had woken up so he had to feed the sapling.
"Aww it's like you're his dad, in a way." Starlord told Rocket seeing Rocket surprised by this, seeing Groot happy to see him, making a small smile cross Rocket's furry face stunning the others so was feeding Groot which who was in his flowerpot making the others grin because it was cute, knowing how strong their bond was.
"It's good you're in a better mood after what happened on Xandar." Gamora told Rocket.
"Yeah, now that Groot's back, I feel better." Rocket told her as Groot grinned.
"We are his family, you know?" Drax told them seeing little Groot climb onto his shoulder.
It was making the smile on Rocket's furry face grow, as they were going to Knowhere.
