Chapter 7
Dib Membrane jolted awake as his son started to cry for the 5th time tonight. He squinted at the clock; it was 1:00 in the morning. Ai yai yai. Dib glanced down at Zim "Your turn" he mumbled sleepily.
"Snore" Zim responded, pretending to be asleep. Dib rolled his eyes.
"Come on Zim! I already went last time! Its your turn!" Dib rubbed his forehead as his son's cries echoed throughout the house.
"Snore" Zim once again replied
"I know your not actually sleeping! I mean really- who snores like that? You told me Irkens don't sleep! Come on!"
"Snore"
"Dios Mio..Zim come on!!!"
"Youknowmoreaboutcaringforinfantsthanido- snore"
"Fine! Whatever!"
Dib threw his blanket aside and hopped out of the mattress. He walked down the hall, and into his son's nursery. Unlike the rest of Zim's house, which had this fuschia and purple color scheme going on, Fox's nursery was deep blue, decorated with pictures of the moon and various planets, the space theme complete with little glow in the dark stars that stuck on the ceiling. Dib found his little one, sitting upright on his pale blue crib, he looked upset as if he was waiting for someone to show up forever. And he was still crying. Dib gently picked him up "Whats wrong Mi Zorrito Bonito?" He cooed softly, smiling a little as his son's crying ceased once he was held "I already changed you, and I already sang you a lullaby. So what is it this time, hm?" He yawned "Are you hungry?" Fox seemed to perk up at that, his antennae twitching slightly "I guess that means 'yes' " Dib chuckled.
Holding his baby son in his arms, Dib made his way to the kitchen, he was glad he made sure to buy all that baby food. "What do you want?" He asks as he opened one of the cabinets. Fox looked up, not recgonizing any of the food at all, though he noticed they were all different colors so he just chose the one he liked. "Red" he pointed to a little red colored container. That was meat and vegetables. Dib grabbed that one for him, getting a little spoon as well.
Dib sat down, towel on his lap and another on his shoulder, cradling Fox in his arms as he started to feed him. He was cooing over him and kissing his little face, while attempting to get him to swallow down the food. However, as soon as the baby food slid down Fox's throat he immediately started to throw it back up. This did not alarm Dib at first, as he was taught babies would often do this, his first reaction was to sit Fox up and over his shoulder and pat his back lightly, which he did. Dib then became alarmed when he noticed Fox was throwing up a lot, and saw a glowing green substance all over his towel and on the floor. Oh shit.
"ZIM!!!!!"
The Irken ceased his "snoring" and in deep concern ran out of the bedroom and into the living room "what happened!?" The Irken asks, panicked then gasped as he saw the green substance that covered the floor. Dib was holding their smeet, dread spread across his face "ZIM HELP HOLY SHIT!" The small Irken ran over "WHAT IN IRKS NAME DID YOU DO TO OUR SMEET!?" Zim demanded. Fox continued to throw up, his green skin getting extremely pale by the minute.
"I j-just" Dib stuttered, his anxiety rising "I j-j-just-"
"DID YOU GIVE HIM YOUR DISGUSTING HUMAN FOOD!?"
"Y-Yea- But-"
"ARE YOU INSANE!?"
"GOD DAMMIT ZIM STOP! I DIDN'T KNOW! JUST HELP! TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS!!!"
Zim's antennae twitched, he sighed. Stupid humans
