Part one

Chapter two: A baby fire engine's first adventure

Three months later…

It was a bright early spring morning in the peaceful, quiet mountain town. The birds could be heard singing their morning songs as the sun was rising over the mountain tops.

Inside the town's fire station the sun shines down on the bodies of the peacefully sleeping fire truck family through a window.

Then Red blinked as he started to wake up. With the sun shining brightly in his eyes, he started crying. Both Blaze and Rosita started to wake up as they heard their son's cries. Rosita stood up, a bit tiredly as she picked up and cradled Red in her front tire, rocking him gently as hummed a song for him. Blaze stood up, stretched and yawned as he looked at his wife and son. Red soon began to calm down, whining softly as he looks up at his mother with his big brown eyes. Rosita looked back down at him with soft eyes. "It's going to be alright sweetie." Said Rosita as she held Red close and kissed him on the forehood.

Red cooed and purred as he snuggled happily against his mother. Rosita smiles at him. Feeling a little playful, Red squeaks and bats his tire at the emblem on Rosita's side panel. Rosita chuckles and then rolls Red over gently on his roof and does raspberries on his underside.

Red giggled wildly as his mom did, flailing his tires in the air. Rosita stops and laughs, then rolls him back over and licks him affectionately. Red purred and licked back. Blaze smiles as he looks over at the two. Rosita smiles and scoops him up onto her roof holding him high. "Ahhh!? 8D" Red cooed curiously as he looked out the window.

"Well, it's my turn to go to the training class today hun, so I won't be home until later this evening." said Blaze as he made sure he was clean.

"Okay hun, I'll hold things down here for the day. We'll be ok." Rosita reassured as she then held Red close in her tires.

"Alright honey" he said as he turned around to kiss her and nuzzle Red goodbye. "I love you both!" He yells as he pushes a button to open the bay door.

"We love you too! Be safe!" she shouts back and waves as he starts to drive away down the road. Red babbles and waves his tire. Rosita watches him drive away for abit, then pushes the button to close the door. Then she goes to lay back down to feed Red his breakfast. She sets him down and nudges him to her underside. He purrs and latches on after abit. Rosita relaxes as she laid her hood down.

After about fifteen minutes Red finishes. He groans in satisfaction as he stretches his tires out. Rosita then picks him up and pats him on the roof gently. Red burps. She smiles and sets him back down. Then she gets back up on her tires and looks down at her son.

"Wanna go outside!?" She said in a cheery, exciting voice. Red babbled and squeaked excitedly in reply. Even though he couldn't understand what she was saying he could tell it was something exciting and new for him.

"Okay sweetie" said Rosita as she picked Red up and put him in his stroller-trailer and strapped him in. Red bounced a little and giggled excitedly. Rosita smiles as she tucked a warm blanket in with him. She then hitched the trailer up to her rear bumper and then pushed the button to open the door. The morning light shined into the station. Rosita then pulled out of the station slowly.

"Ooh?" Red looked around curious and wide-eyed cause he'd never been outside before.

She cruised slowly down main street, greeting the townsfolk and introducing Red as well as taking in the sights, sounds and smells of spring. As she did the townsfolk looked and cooed and googled over the baby fire truck in her stroller-trailer. Red looked up at them, wide-eyed and confused. Then he bashfully hides under the blanket.

One lady said "ooh he's a shy lil' cutie!". Rosita smiled and chuckled a little.

"Yes he is, but it's also his first time ever outside the station, so everything here is new to him" said Rosita as she continued to drive down Main street. Red poked his hood back out to look at the scenery passing by. Rosita looked ahead and saw the town police officer, a woman police officer, fueling up at the local gas station. So she pulls up to one of the diesel fuel pumps to fill up herself.

"Good morning! How are you?" Rosita asks as she looks at the police car.

"I'm good. And yourself?" The officer replied as she smiled.

"I'm doing great. Just taking my son out on his first adventure outside the firehouse" she smiled as she looked back at Red in her sideview mirror. "His name is Red."

"Aww how precious!" She said as she looked at red, smiling. Red then again hides bashfully under the blanket.

" Maybe he would like to be best friends with my son…!" The officer said as she revealed a baby police car that was asleep in her tire. "His name is Copper" Copper then began waking up.

"Perhaps" Rosita smiled and giggled lightly. "Aww your Copper is precious too!" Copper then yawned, stretched and blinked as his eyes focused in. Then he looked around, a bit confused at first as he looked at the big fire truck, then he spots Red poking his hood out of the trailer a little.

"Oooh!?.." Copper cooed curiously when he saw Red and began to get excited, wagging his antenna, giggling and bouncing a little, eager to meet him. Then Red went back into hiding. But then peeked back out a little at Copper, curious too, but shy still. Rosita then unhitched the stroller-trailer from her bumper and turned to face Red. He gave her a cute smile.

"Copper, meet Red!" The officer said as she picked up her baby and placed Copper in the stroller-trailer, which was big enough for both of them, with him. Red backed up a little as he tilted his hood curiously at the baby cop car. Copper giggled and crawled towards Red to greet him. Red leaned back a bit, but then his curiosity overtook him, and he started sniffing at him. Copper cooed and sniffed back at him as he moved towards Red at a slower pace.

Rosita and the police officer smile as they watch their babies' interaction. Red cautiously curiously inched towards Copper, still sniffing at him. Copper moved close enough to sniff Red's face. They both jumped back a little at the unexpected touch. Their mothers both giggled as they continued to watch them.

Then Copper tilted his hood a bit at Red, then giggled started wagging his antenna. Babbling as he gets in playful position in front of him.

"Ahh!?" Red squeaked. Confused at first, but then instinctively and playfully rolls onto his roof, growling and batting at Copper gently. Copper pounced and wrestled with him playfully. They giggled and played for hours after that, only stopping occasionally to nurse. All while keeping n eye on the babies, Rosita and the police officer converse.

After several hours of playing they finally became exhausted and started yawning and dozing off to sleep. The cop scooped up her tired baby, cradling him. Copper snuggled into his mother's tires and cooed with his eyes closed.

"Well it was nice visiting and spending the day with you Rosita" the cop said as she smiled.

"Likewise" Rosita replied and smiled back as she tucked Red in the warm blanket inside the stroller-trailer. Red yawned and stretched as he closed his eyes and snuggled up.

"Well see you next time, have a good night!" The cop said as she waved her tire and began to drive away.

"Alright, you too!" She yelled and waved back. Then lined herself up with the stroller-trailer's hitch and hooked the trailer back up to her bumper and began to drive back to the fire station. It was getting dark, so she turned on her headlights.

She pulled into the station afew minutes later, backing the stroller-trailer in first. Then closed the door after she got in. Rosita then unhitched herself quietly as to not wake Red up. She turned around and smiled as she looked at the sleeping baby fire truck. She kissed him on the forehood and then went to kitchen to cook dinner before her husband got home.

About fourty five minutes later, just as she turned the stove off, Rosita heard the sound of Blaze approaching the station. Then she heard and saw one of the bay doors open, revealing a tired Blaze. She smiled.

"Welcome home honey" She said in sweet, welcoming voice. He smiled tiredly as he drove up to her from behind and then "hugged" and kissed her on the lips sweetly. They parted lips slowly as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Home is always welcoming with you around." He said in a low, quiet, sweet tone to his wife.

"Oooh honey… I love you!" she said in awe as she blushed, smiled and smooched him.

"I love you too!" He happily but tiredly replied as he parked at the table.

"I made your favorite for dinner, homemade lasagna with Parmesan and home made garlic bread." said Rosita as she set a plate of food down on the table in front of her husband. Blaze sniffed it and sighed as his tank growled.

"You are the best cook as always, it smells wonderful honey!" He said as he looked at the food hungrily, waiting for his wife. Rosita chuckled as she parked next him at the table with a plate of food for herself.

"I'm glad you like it sweetheart." She said as she began eating. Blaze began eating too.

After eating abit, they start talking about how there day went to each other. Rosita told Blaze about how their son made friends with Copper and visiting with Copper's mother. Blaze told Rosita about his hard day of training, and how strict and serious the trainer was.

"Well tomorrow will be much more enjoyable, I can promise you that honey." Rosita reassured and smiled as they continued eating. Then just as they were finishing up, as Rosita collected the dishes to wash, Red woke up started crying.

"I got it honey!" Blaze said as he promptly as he left the table to go check their son.

"Okay thank you!" She shouted as she started doing the after dinner clean up.

Blaze approached the stroller-trailer, looked in and saw little Red crying. He then scooped him up in his tires and started Rocking him to calm him down.

"Shhh calm down, it's okay, dad's here now" Blaze said in a calm voice. Red whimpered and blinked as he realized his dad rocking him, then he began to calm down. Then Red cooed and purred happily, just wanting cuddles this time. Blaze smiled and held his son close for awhile.

A little while later Rosita came to join them. She smiled when she saw the adorable sight of her husband and her son snuggled up together, both already asleep.

"Goodnight my sweethearts" said Rosita. Then she yawned as she turned off the lights and layed down and snuggled right next to them, closing her eyes. She fell asleep after abit.
