Michella, who heard Edgeworth's shout, rushed into the room, followed by Ema and Franziska.
"Yes, Master Miles, what is it? Why are you screaming like that?"
Franziska wrinkled her nose. "Why is there a bad smell? Little brother, what was this smell?"
"Dominico pees at me," Edgeworth replied with a flat-faced and expressionless. "Michella, quickly change Dominico's diaper and please check Dominic's diaper as well!"
In an instant the room became silent. Franziska, Ema, and Michella stood transfixed, before finally laughing out loud simultaneously.
"It's not even a day yet your children brought home and they pee on you? AHAHAHAHAHAHA! LITTLE BROTHER! THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I EVER SAW IN MY LIFE!"
"If Sis were here, for sure she'll be laughing until she coughs, Mr. Edgeworth!" Ema chirps.
Edgeworth, who was very upset and annoyed, finally yelled, "SHUT UP!"
The three of them stopped laughing. With the most bizarre look of a Basilisk snake, Edgeworth turned his face toward Michella.
"Why are you silent and still standing there, Michella? Quickly replace Dominico's diaper! I want to take a bath now!"
However, Michella remained silent and only smiled a little. She carried Dominico carefully, then took Edgeworth's hand and dragged his wrists roughly into the bathroom.
"Michella, why are you dragging me here? Didn't I ask you to change Dominico's diaper?
Edgeworth asked with a puzzled look.
Michella took a short breath, and smiled again. She then replied, "Master Miles. I have been spoiling you since childhood, but now you are a grown man. You are no longer a 9-year-old boy, Master Miles."
"So?"
"So? You are an adult, you already have children due to your own actions. I can't spoil you anymore, Master Miles. You must change your own child's diaper. Take it easy, Master Miles, I will teach you."
Edgeworth swallowed. Michella then took a small towel and spread it out. She handed Dominico over to Edgeworth. Reluctantly, Edgeworth then carries Dominico.
"Now lay Master Dominico on this towel, Master Miles. Be careful with his head, remember your child is a premature baby and his endurance is much weaker than an ordinary baby."
Taking a short breath, Edgeworth laid Dominico down on the towel.
"Done. Then what next?"
"Open the diaper, Master Miles. Remember, be careful and slow down! Don't make Master Dominico in pain!"
Wrinkling his face and holding back his disgust, Edgeworth opened Dominico's diaper. It was much harder than he thought. No matter how hard he tried, the diaper was still attached to Dominico's ass. He tried to tug at the diaper, but the diapers still can't be opened. Michella then tweaked his ears.
"No, no, no, no! Master Miles! Opening baby diapers isn't same as you take off your clothes! Open the adhesive first!"
Grumbling softly, and wincing in pain due to Michella's tweak, Edgeworth opened the adhesive on the diaper. After done, he then took a clean diaper and ready to put it on Dominico. However, Michella harshly hit his hand.
"Master Miles! You can't change the diaper just like that! Fold back the adhesive on the diaper first so it will not stick to Master Dominico's skin! After that, wash your hands first, Master Miles!"
Edgeworth moaned softly. He folded back the adhesive on the diaper, then he walked over to the sink to wash his hands. When it was done, he was ready to change Dominico's diaper, but, again, Michella scolded him.
"Take a wet wipe or cotton wool, then wet it with cold water, Master Miles! You have to clean Master Dominico's genitals first! Otherwise, he can get irritated!"
"W-what?!" Edgeworth said sternly. "Cleaning Dominico's genitals?!"
"Yes, Master Miles!" Michella replied impatiently. "Why? You're disgusted? Why are you disgusted? Master Dominico is your own son!"
Scratching his head, Edgeworth then took a wet wipe and dampened it with water. After that, he started cleaning Dominico's genitals. While Michella constantly scolded him.
"God, Master Miles! Gently clean it up! Don't be too harsh! Slow down! And clean Master Dominico's genitals from front to back! You just rubbed the back of it! Now put a clean diaper under Master Dominico! Now pat Master Dominico's skin until it's dry! No, no, no, no, no! Use dry cloth, Master Miles, not wet tissue! Make sure you set the clean diaper properly! Tighten it with adhesive from the back of the diaper to the front! The diapers must be snug, but not too tight!"
Edgeworth bit his lip, trying hard not to scream like an orangutan or to pull his own hair until he become bald because of frustration. Who would have thought that changing baby diapers lesson was much more complicated and more annoying than a trial against Phoenix Wright. In fact, he had read many books about parenting, but when his children had been taken home, he forgot everything he had learned from the book in an instant.
Ema and Franziska who had been peeking around laughing all the time. What would people say if they saw the Demon Prosecutor change the baby's diaper and constantly scolded by his own nanny?
After the dreadful, sweat-filled change diaper activity, filled with Michella's screams of anger, Dominico finally slept again. Edgeworth then checked Dominic's diaper, luckily, Dominic's diaper was still clean and dry, so he did not have to repeat the agonizing activity.
Edgeworth then went downstairs to continue his meal. After finishing his meal, he and Ema go to his room to watch the Steel Samurai DVD. He immediately drifted in his favorite spectacle, when his favorite scene comes…
UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! UWAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ! UWAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHH !
For God's sake not again ...
Edgeworth ran to his sons' room followed by Ema, and this time only Dominic who cried, while Dominico slept soundly in his crib. Frantically, Edgeworth was carrying Dominic, taking him out of the room so as not to wake Dominico, then check his diaper. Dry, and clean. He swung Dominic, singing children's songs, stroked Dominic's hair, but the baby still cried.
"Oh, why you won't quiet, Dominic? What do you want, son? Please don't make Papa dizzy and frantic like this, please, nice boy…"
"Maybe he's hungry, Mr. Edgeworth," Ema suggested.
Edgeworth slapped his forehead. "Oh yes, of course. How could I forget? Please take care of Dominico for a moment, Ema."
"Okay, Mr. Edgeworth!"
He then went down to the kitchen. In there, Michella was washing dishes.
"What's the matter, Master Miles?"
"Dominic was crying, but when I checked his diaper, it was dry and clean. Ema says he might be hungry," Edgeworth replied as he tries to calm Dominic down.
"Ah, of course. Well, now a second lesson for you, Master Miles. Come on, I teach you to make milk for the baby. Here, let me carry Master Dominic."
Arrrghhhh! Edgeworth cried silently. Lesson to take care baby with Spartan style round 2 .. Oh no!
"Well, Master Miles, first of all, wear this apron, so that your clothes will not get wet or dirty," Michella said as she throws a garish pink apron with flower patterns and having laces in here and there. At first Edgeworth wanted to refuse, but to avoid his clothes getting more dirty after pee by Dominico, he wore the apron.
"All right, now clean the baby milk bottle, Master Miles."
Edgeworth walked over to the sink, picked up the soap, then began to wash the milk bottle. But, only about 1 minutes he washes ...
"Clean the bottle with special brush for washing bottle, Master Miles! And clean the bottle with warm water! Not with cold water! But don't forget to clean the brush too! Remember, Master Dominic and Master Dominico are premature babies and easier to get germs! You must really make the bottle VERY CLEAN!"
Von Karma's mansion servants who had heard voices from the kitchen, now lined up neatly in front of the kitchen door, to peek at a scene they might only see once in a century: Master Miles Edgeworth, wash baby milk bottle in the kitchen, wear a pink apron with flower patterns and laces, and constantly scolded by Michella. They were nudging each other, warning everyone to remain calm and silent, for if Master Miles realized that all the servants were lining up in front of the kitchen door and laughing at him quietly, he would kill them in an instant with his deadly gaze.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, Master Miles!" Michella shook her friendly face impatiently while Dominic was getting a bit calmer. "You can't make the milk just like that! I have told you! After the bottle washed, you must use a stabilizer for the bottle! Would you like if Master Dominic gets sick from poisoning while drinking milk?! And, oh dear, the dosage is too much, Master Miles! The dosage must fit perfectly! It can't be too much and can't be too little! Don't look at me like that, Master Miles!"
For the next few minutes there was only Michella's screaming and murmur of Edgeworth grumbling audible. After nearly half an hour of misery, Edgeworth finally finished making the milk. He hurriedly takes off the ridiculous apron, ready to put the bottle into Dominic's mouth. However, Michella pulled his shirt.
"Wait a minute, Master Miles! I have to test first if this milk is safe to drink by Master Dominic!" Michella said grumpily while snatching the milk bottle from Edgeworth's hands. Edgeworth froze in place, resigned to wait without saying anything...
Michella shakes the milk bottle slowly, sniffs it, then slides the milk into her palm. Then she licked it. She looked up, staring at Edgeworth with a mixture of amusement and resignation.
"Make it again, Master Miles."
"Huh?! What did you just say?!"
"Look, there are ants in this milk. It's not safe for Master Dominico to drink this milk."
Edgeworth ruffled his hair, lifted his forefinger high and then shouted so loudly, making the servants who were lining up in the kitchen door ran all the way around like a flock of rats ...
"MICHELLAAAAAAAAAA... I HAVE OBJECTION….THAT'S OBJECTIONABLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !"
After making the milk once again with full of difficulty and lots of effort, Edgeworth puts the bottle to Dominic's mouth. Dominic drank very greedily, as he drank the milk, he kept staring at his father's tired and tangled face with an innocent sweet look that made Edgeworth's heart melt in an instant. After Dominic had finished drinking his milk, Edgeworth meant to take him back upstairs to put him to sleep.
He just walked a few steps, all of a sudden ...
CPROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!
Something cold, with a very bad smell, hit his face. Dominic vomit to his face.
Edgeworth stood frozen, then shouted "HAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGH!"
Michella hastily approached him, she covered her mouth with her hands, then said nervously,
"Ouch! Master Miles! I'm sorry! Forgive me! I'm really sorry! I totally forgot to tell you that the baby should be patted on the back after drinking milk until he burps, otherwise the baby will vomit and that means you have to make the milk once more ..."
Just as Edgeworth was about to open his mouth to answer, Ema came into the kitchen with Dominico, who, thank God, was crying.
"Mr. Edgeworth! Dominico suddenly woke up and cried, I checked his diaper and his diaper was dry, he seemed hungry too, Mr. Edgeworth, eh why your face is so filthy, Mr. Edgeworth?"
"Master Miles, you have to make two bottles of baby milk ..." continued Michella.
Edgeworth took a deep breath, refrained from banging his head against the wall, then screamed again ...
"OBJECTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
After washing his face, taking a bath, managed to make two bottles of milk for Dominic and Dominico (with the result almost destroying some of the kitchen), then accompany Dominic and Dominico drink their milk (with Franziska constantly mocking him with her non-stop laughter, making Edgeworth lose his patience and throw eggs into Franziska's hair) Dominic and Dominico finally calmed down and went back to sleep. Edgeworth lay down on the bed, feeling very tired. All his life he had never felt tired like this. Today he has been urinated, vomited, and constantly hears the sound of his children's cries that make him almost lost his sanity.
Edgeworth closed his eyes for a moment. He then turned to the photo of him with Lana which taken while they were dating at Gourd Lake. He took the photo and looked at it sadly. His eyes are teary now.
Lana ... if you were still with me here, I would not be this confused.
Lana ... Honestly, I'm really scared. Scared of not being able to raise our children well. What if I can't give them the love they need? What if I can't be a good father for Dominic and Dominico?
I'm really confused, Lana. I don't know if I can love them. Because after all, you died because of giving birth to them ... Yeah, I know, you must think I'm so evil, blaming our children for your death ...
Lana ... if only you told me ... Maybe all of this will not happen .. Maybe I can take care of you well so you don't have to have complications while giving birth to them ... Until now I'm still wondering why you can think I'll leave you because you're pregnant? You know very well I will never leave you, Lana, because you're the only woman I love. Or you don't believe my sincere love for you?
If only you told me that you were pregnant at that trial ... I will fight until my last drop of blood so you won't be prosecuted ... I know, you must be angry because I became your prosecutor then .. I am selfish, I don't even think about your feeling at all ... But did you know, Lana? In that trial, when I pointed out contradictions and evidence, my heart felt like cut by hundreds of knives ... I really miss and need you, Lana ...If only you can hear me now ... My beautiful red riding hood…
