Chapter 1: Complimenti è un ragazzo! Part:II
While pacing around his private living room for some time Giovanni was starting to feel the stress he had gone through that day…..and after he saw the clock on the wall he knew it wasn't even midday, but at last his Bambino seemed to sleep at peace. The bad thing was that Giovanni had to keep him from putting his thumb in his mouth and that was starting to be tiring…..Truly he needed a pacifier: NOW!
After doing so for Arceus-Knows-How-Many-Times (taking Baby Rocketto's thumb out of his mouth carefully: the last thing Giovanni wanted was to wake him), someone knocked on the door and Giovanni found himself praying to every and any legendary Pokémon that it would be Adrian with the order of essentials for Baby Rocketto and that baby essentials included a pacifier or pacifiers in plural: some of his employers had lamented at how easy it was to lose them and how difficult it was to calm down a child that had lost his. So Giovanni steeled himself in case it wasn't Adrian or in case pacifiers weren't included in the essentials and opened the door: he was relieved to see Adrian standing there with servile shopping bags.
"Thank the legendaries!" Exclaimed Giovanni before mentioning with his head for Adrian to enter once Adrian was inside: Giovanni sat down on his leather couch...still rocking his son from side to side and keeping that thumb out of his mouth.
"Indeed sir." Answered the butler who nodded in understanding allowing Giovanni to sit down before putting the bags down and giving the young man he had known since he had been in diapers a look.
"What?" Asked Giovanni surprised at the strange look Adrian was giving him. "Please don't tell me that it's inappropriate to hold my Bambino while I'm shirt less." He almost begged the butler, causing the normally stoic and formal man to chuckle.
"No. Giovanni no, the contrary actually: it's said that skin to skin contact with the parents do small babies wonders plus he can easier hear your heart this way." Informed Adrian still smiling.
"Seriously?" Asked Giovanni in disbelieve.
"Yes, it's also believed that it's good for bonding with the young ones to allow them to sleep or rest onto ones chest so that they can hear ones heart." Explained Adrian looking fondly at Giovanni and the baby in his arms.
"Bene….why the look then?" Asked Giovanni now feeling curious.
"Well you are taking this surprise really good and seem already fond of the boy not to mention possessive." Answered Adrian and he received a glare from Giovanni while the young Italian automatically pulled his son closer to him: as if he was afraid that someone might snatch him away...When he realized this he blushed before relaxing.
"Oh…Well he is my Bambino after all and he is innocent and his smile: well let's say that he has brought me." Said Giovanni a little uncomfortable: a few hours with the boy and he was already turning into a sap… a very tired sap who was still unable to keep his son from putting his thumb in his mouth or at last to try so. "Well tell me what you have." Ordered Giovanni feeling more comfortable ordering people around.
Before humming and hushing his son: because he might have been a little to laud. Adrian did as he was told, not showing his amusement this time: Giovanni was a first time parent and a first time baby sitter and that was showing, and started to open the bags knowing he would have to explain a lot to Giovanni.
"Seeing as Miss Di Angelo left the boy some clothes and diapers as you already know from changing him…we only brought the essentials for the little one, to give you the opportunity to buy his clothes and the things you want for the nursery…. The essentials are thing such as: baby formula and some age appropriate Nestum; which I will teach you how to prepare once he needs his next bottle and yes the Nestum is to be mixed in the bottle of milk," At this Giovanni nodded in understanding it was his son so it was only logical he knew how to feed him. "more diapers, wet wipes, a pair of baby phones…."
"Why would a baby need a telephone?" Asked Giovanni softly out of the blue and Adrian laughed trying not to be too loud.
"That is for when his nursery is ready, there are two: one for in the nursery and the other for your bedroom or wherever you might be while he naps." Seeing that Giovanni still had no clue he explained it in more detail. "So that you can hear him if he needs you…" The butler signed fondly: yes Giovanni knew responsibility, but this was going to be a whole new level of it.
"And of course we have a couple of Pacifiers….." Continued Adrian picking up the small box with Eevee and its evolutions teemed pacifiers, at the mention of pacifiers Giovanni beamed happily: he could finally stop fighting with a stubborn yet incredibly strong baby that insisted in sucking his thumb.
"Dammi ora." Ordered Giovanni as happy as any toddler: that asked for his/her favorite Teddy-bear or for its pacifier causing Adrian to sweat drop anime style.
"Sure…..Which one?" Asked Adrian looking at the different colored Pacifiers: the orange Eevee, the red Flareon, the blue Vaporeon and the yellow Jolteon….
"Anyone just give one!" He exclaimed as softly as he could so that he wouldn't startle his son awake. Adrian did as said and gave him the orange colored one with a sleeping Eevee on it: not that Giovanni actually decided to look at it.
As soon as Giovanni had the pacifier in his hands he looked at it as if it was more valuable than gold. "Ok: is there something that I'm supposed to do before giving it to him?" Asked the young man to the butler looking at his son.
"Uh…I have seen people put it in their mouth before giving it to their children." Answered Adrian: still unsure if this was part of some sort of ritual that had to be followed or simply a habit.
"Whatever!" Said Giovanni putting the pacifier in his own mouth, as suggested, before giving it to Baby Rocketto….it took some coaching from Giovanni's part, but in the end the baby took the pacifier happily and started to suck at it contently: all this still asleep.
Giovanni continued to listen to Adrian with half an ear while he decided to lay down on the couch starting the process to accommodate Baby Rocketto carefully before holding him in place. He closed his eyes not listening to Adrian any longer just relaxing and breathing in the typical baby scent before starting to think of a name for his son. Without knowing Giovanni's relaxing moment he fell asleep with his son listening to his heart.
Adrian kept explaining everything to Giovanni until he became aware that said young man had fallen asleep. He looked at the scene before him fondly, taking his phone out and taking a picture: he was sure that his employer might appreciate it later on before deciding that he could allow Giovanni some sleep.
Persians POV of the events:
I knew that humans where strange creatures: well most are anyway. Some of them are even downright cruel like that Veronica woman, but even I hadn't expected her to abandon a small cub that must not have hatched too long ago with my master: it is true that most Pokémon don't stay too long with their parents after they have hatched, some like me where with our masters before even hatching, but as far as I knew humans where different in that aspect.
More so the females they would cuddle the cub until it is old enough to go to have its own Pokémon journey and even then some mothers do still smother them….well that's what I heard from other Pokémon: and as for the males or the fathers they are more laid back mostly and even encourage the youngsters to do things the mothers wouldn't approve off. Yes humans are definitively strange creatures.
I was truly surprised that this female human could leave her cub the way she did and name-less at that: no matter that master is the sire. Oh well all his matting around finally gave him his cub/heir or whatever humans call their offspring. Master turned into a protective sire in the blink of an eye after that female said something in Italian that I couldn't understand. I know that Master is Italian and I understand a good deal of it, but these words seemed to anger him.
I decided to keep out of his and the cubs way after seeing him like that: there is no way I'm going to end up in one of those Pokéballs if I can avoid it. So after Veronica left without the cub and angry looks from Master. He left to his private living room, with me following him in the shadows, and started to inspect his cub as if he had just hatched before his eyes, he seemed happy with his inspection and so seemed the cub. I of course also inspected Master Giovanni's cub from the distance: to me he looked a lot like Master aside from the green eyes that reminded me of the tall grass or the forest, but aside from that it looked like its sire.
After that the fun began: for me at least…The cub started to cry on top of ¿his? lungs, yes I'm sure Master called him Bambino meaning that the cub was a boy. So as I was telling the cub started crying aloud and Master was lost of what to do and started to panic calling for one of the servants for help. It seemed that the cub needed to be cleaned and changed: I'm not sure what that means, but it seemed awful for my Master who did as he was instructed by the head servant.
After that he had to feed the boy: his award was the cub decided that the appropriate way to thank his sire for the food was throwing some of it up onto him, I remember snickering at that moment and the glare Master send my way…But there was no threat of the Pokéball so I guess it's fine for me to be around the cub: not that I was willing to test my theory then and there.
Finally the cub fell asleep and my Master seemed to be happy about that until the cub started to put his thumb in his mouth: repeatedly. It seemed that awake the cub would listen to him, but asleep…
Then the head servant came again with bags loaded with things and started to explain Master where they were for until he handed Master some contraption that he put in his mouth before putting it in the cubs: I'm pretty sure that Master stopped listening to the explication after that and fell asleep.
He is still asleep now so it's safe for me to come closer to the cub that was asleep on Master. I smelled the cub: he smelled a lot like Giovanni, but also like his dam and something that was only his.
I think I like him: he speaks in a fun way that not even Master seems to understand and when he smiles he makes Master smile, but the poor cub really needs a name: because it would be horrible if he is called Baby Rocketto the rest of his life. I'm sure it's going to be fun having him around and seeing how he and Master interact…yes he will make my Master happy and I will help Master making the cub happy.
I give my cub-Master or Masters cub, still unsure what he is, a lick before purring: he and Master radiate warmth and I like to sleep somewhere warm so I decided to join them both on the couch: laying down on Masters legs before closing my eyes, but only for a cat-nap.
