chapter 2
Bengali was starting to wake up and become aware. Where am I? What happened? Why is it so dark? I feel so full. He thought and he managed to open his eyes. He saw bars. I'm a prisoner! Bengali thought and he began fuss. What's going on? Why am I having trouble moving? he thought.
Then he heard snoring and looked over and saw a couple of people sleeping. What's going on? Who are those people? He thought. Then he began to fuss again. Then one of the strangers woke up and picked him up and took him out of the bars. Bengali was still fussing and didn't know what was going on.
"Shhh," the female said and rubbed his back. "It's okay calm down," she said.
He knew that voice it was Liosia. She sat on the bed and continued to rub his back.
"Everything alright?" a male voice asked.
Bengali looked and saw it was Lion-o.
"Yes, he's just a little fussy," Liosia said.
"It's okay Bengali," Lion-o said gently stroking his hair.
It's Lion-o and Liosia! Bengali wanted to asked. But that came out was baby sounds. Bengali was frustrated when he tried again and just got baby talk.
"Bengali I know you want to speak, but you can't," Lion-o said.
"It seems he's thinking normally," Liosia said.
"Yes," Lion-o said.
Bengali was wondering what they were talking about. But being held by Liosia like this made him feel warm, safe and secure. What second on babies feel this way! Bengali thought. Then he began to realize that wasn't a prison he was in it was crib, how he can't talk, have trouble moving, and the holding. It all made sense. Bengali added two and two and realized. I've been turned into a baby!
Then Bengali started to cry.
"It's okay Bengali," Liosia said.
"Yes, we're here," Lion-o said.
Bengali stopped crying and sniffled. "Can you understand us?" Liosia asked.
"Yes can you?" Lion-o asked.
Bengali nodded and then started to relax.
Then Lion-o and Liosia smelled something. "Oh dear, someone needs to be changed," Liosia said.
Bengali knew what they meant by changed. They were going to change his diaper. He was a little embarrassed. Lion-o and Liosia took off the diaper and cleaned him up and put a fresh on on.
"There we go," Lion-o said. "Look first light," he said.
"Well we better get ready because everyone is going to be having breakfast soon." Liosia said.
Breakfast sounds good. Bengali thought and began to squirm.
"Looks like someone is wanting breakfast," Lion-o said.
Everyone sat at the table Lion-o was holding Bengali while Liosia was fixing the bottle. "So he thinks like he normally does?" Wilykit asked.
"Yes," Lion-o said.
"That's amazing," Tygra said.
"Here we are bottle of formula ready to go,' Liosia said.
Lion-o took the bottle and brought to Bengali's mouth. Bengali started to suckle and tried to pull the bottle away. "Why is he doing that?" Lion-o asked.
"I think he's trying to tell you he can hold it by himself snarf, snarf." Snarf said.
"Oh," Lion-o said. Then slowly let go to see if Bengali could hold it by himself.
"Hey look he's holding it by himself," Wilykat said.
Bengali finished his bottle and hiccuped. The Lion-o placed him up to his shoulder and patted his back. Then Bengali burped. Bengali was now looking around and was cooing. Then he stuck his thumb in his mouth and began to suck it.
"Look he's sucking his thumb," Snarfer said.
"Well Snarfer babies suck on things, it helps soothe them." Pumyra said.
Bengali was starting to show signs he was bored. "Whoa calm down Bengali," Lion-o said starting to rock him.
Bengali just squirmed.
"You know maybe he's bored, babies get bored too," Pumyra said. "So how about you entertain him," she said.
"How?" Lion-o asked.
"Well he would probably like seeing the clouds go by, or watch the ducks swim on the pond," Pumyra said.
"Okay," Lion-o said.
"Let's go," Liosia said and they went outside to entertain Bengali.
Bengali watched as the ducks, geese and swans swam around and around on the lake they were very entertained. Bengali even settled down and watched them swim. He was very happy.
It was so adorable seeing Bengali watch the birds swimming.
Lion-o and Liosia came in a bit later. "Hey, I have been working on some baby toys for Bengali to play with so that way he can entertain himself after that." Panthro said.
"That's a good idea," Lion-o said.
"I just finished one," Panthro said. "It's one them ring toys, you just dump of the rings and he'll put them back on, Pumyra says he's about eight months old or almost 11 months so this should be easy for him to use." he said.
"Well let's allow him to play," Lion-o said.
They placed Bengali on the ground with the toy and Bengali saw the rings and picked them up. He place them on and it didn't seem to look right so he tried again.
"Well he looks occupied." Liosia said.
"Yes I am almost finished with other toys too, this way the little guy can stay occupied." Panthro said.
"I made on too," Snarf said. It was a stuffed dog. "I made it myself I always had a talent for sewing," he said.
"Yes I can't count how many times you had to fix doofle," Lion-o said.
"Oh yes I remember you took that bear everywhere," Snarf said.
Bengali was given the stuffed dog and he hugged it close. "Looks like it became a quick favorite," Liosia said.
"Yep," Panthro said.
Bengali then yawned cutely. "Looks like Bengali needs a nap, snarf, snarf," Snarf said.
"I'll say so," Lion-o said. "Okay little guy nap time." he said.
A nap does sound good I'm exhausted. I guess because I'm a baby I need more sleep. Bengali thought.
Then he was sleeping in the crib.
