Sorry, this is mostly a prologue, also if you have not seen the movie please leave.
Not only because of spoilers but because it's a Damn Good Movie!
Hey! You cannot expect me to see a movie with Robert Downey Jr. & Tom Holland together n, and not make an AU of it.
All in all, Peter was born just weeks before Lily left for sea and will pretty much take the role of Stubbins.
There once was a peculiar doctor known for his extraordinary ability; He could talk to animals.
Dr. Dolittle's reputation spread far and wide even the Queen of England called on him. So grateful for his help, she gifted him a wondrous sanctuary whose doors were open to all creatures.
His days belong to the animals but his heart belonged to one woman. Lily, the fearless explorer. They traveled the globe, going on great adventures, defending creatures who couldn't defend themselves.
They made an extraordinary team, soon that team became a family. With Lily by his side, Dolittle never felt more alive.
Until one day, she left on an adventure.
Lily died at sea.
Heartbroken, he locked the gates of the manor and completely retreated from the world. The only human left in his world was also the last treasure Lily had left.
Their child, Peter Dolittle.
As for me and the animals whose lives he saved, we left to wonder. Could anyone save his?
A/N: I had this idea that Jibs (the dog Tom H. played) was a gift for Peter from Lily, so the two share a tight relationship and are practically brothers. Plus, it will connect to my ideas of having a Feral Peter!
I mean, a young boy raised completely surrounded by animals and one man, it's unlikely he won't take up a few animal habits.
A few ideas I had was that Peter walks around on all fours, and mostly talks through animal language, it's rare that he speaks natural English. Feel free to on to my ideas.
Also, I want the next chapter to be a small collaboration of Peter's life as he grows up in the mansion with his Father and large Family of Animals. Feel free to submit ideas, it may take up one or two chapters before we move on to the actual story.
See you soon, my lovelies.
