Thanks for the reviews I got, everyone! Make sure to leave any prompt ideas you have, and I'll try to write them. Also, leave some prompts on my "LaurWalk Prompts" story because I'm ready to write some more of those too. This particular prompt was from Angel who wanted some Tup kids in a prompt! Well here we go. I hope this leads up to your expectations. Keep on reading and reviewing. xoxo Cait

Shots

Up struggled with the tiny girl that was in his arms. Sure he was the toughest ranger in the entire Galactic League but this five year old was squirming around and screaming, even more than Taz had ever done. The reason that they were in this situation was because of the Galactic League's special rules. One being that all people who lived on the ship must get yearly shots to prevent certain foreign diseases from spreading. Most rangers were fine with receiving the shots since they had signed up for it. The children of the rangers had no choice in the matter and were forced to be pricked by many tiny needles.

"Daddy, I don't want them!" Rosa cried. Her entire face was red with tears pouring out of her bright blue eyes, just like her fathers.

"I know darlin' but you have to get them. It'll be quick, I promise." He said calmly, trying to brush her black hair out of her face.

She placed her head on his chest and continued crying. Rosa finally mumbled into him, "No! I'm not getting them!"

Taz sighed as she held their one year old boy who also needed to receive the three different shots. "Hija, be tough like jour padre and madre. Jou will be fine."

Up gave his wife a look to be quiet and not push it which ended up in Taz mumbling to herself in Spanish. "How about this, Rosie? I'll let you sit on my lap when you get them and then when you're all done we can go and get some ice cream."

The young girl's eyes lit up at the mention of ice cream. "You promise?" She said, sticking out her pinky finger.

"Promise." He smiled and wrapped his own finger around hers.

She even let a small smile form on her face but the asked in a serious matter, "Will you hold my hand when the doctor comes?"

"Absolutely."

By this point Taz had left the room with baby Gabriel so that she could have him get his shots quickly. It was better off to have them done in another room anyway or the crying from the baby would frighten Rosa even more.

Within minutes the doctor appeared, an old man who Up swore was working on the Starship even when he had first joined the rangers. The man put his hand to his head to salute the commander.

"At ease." Up said and positioned his daughter on his lap. He leaned down and whispered in the five year old's ears. "Close your eyes and hold my hand, alright? Then it will be better." The girl nodded and closed her eyes tight, grasping her father's hand even harder.

The doctor came over with a big needle and Up was glad that her eyes were closed or she would have thrown a tantrum. She was doing fine after the first one had gone in, but the second one really stung and she started to cry again.

"Hey, it's okay, Rosie." He kissed the top of her head and felt her grasp getting tighter around his own hand. Soon the third one was over and she had done it. The doctor was able to find some pink bandages, as oppose to the normal boring nude color. "Look at what a big girl you are. You did it!" Up smiled and gave her a hug. "See that wasn't so bad. You were one tough girl.'

"Like mommy?"

"Exactly like mommy. Did you know that when mommy first came to the Starship, she even got upset from the shots? I had to hold her hand too."

Rosa's eyes opened widely at the thought that she could be tougher than her mother. "Really?"

"Yep, so you were awesome!"

"Daddy?"

"Yes?"
"Can we go get some ice cream now?"

Up laughed at her sudden change of mood but got up and took her hand in his own, "Sure. Let's go get mommy and Gabe."

With that they went out and found the two other family members waiting for them. They walked together to the cafeteria where they were selling ice cream during the summer months. Rosa even got a hug and a high five from her mother for being tough in there. The little family all sat at the mess hall table, sharing different ice creams and having fun together after the horror of getting shots.
