It was early morning but Shocket was already up, while her dad was sleeping, getting out of her crib crawling over to her trike getting on to open the door softly so she wouldn't wake up her dad getting down onto the seat of her trike pedaling out quietly, going fast like her dad taught her,gigglimg which Casey heard makimg her impressed by her infant cousin knowing her uncle would be too, when he found out after he woke up once he realised that Shocket was okay, guessing she was wide awake.
"Come on Shockie, let's get something to eat, plus your daddy will be happy, when he finds out you did this." she said getting her to follow on her trike to the kitchens which Shocket was doing, finding pop tarts knowing Shocket could eat stuff like this, now she had fangs knowing her uncle fed her solids now compared to baby food which was a good thing.
"Pop tarts are awesome, and something big kits eat, like us." Casey told her, putting them in the toaster, after getting her cousin milk which she was drinkimg out of a cup since Carol had encouraged Rocket to try weaning Shocket off bottles, which had the brown-red furred male worried in case his little girl had a meltdown until he had found a tumbler that she liked, explaining big kids drank from cups along with saying it was a milk colads, which Carol and Lylla found sweet.
Casey grinned hearing the toaster ping, knowing the pop tarts were ready, taking them out seeing Shocket smelling as she liked the smell makimg Lylla grin, guessing the female kit was like her dad being an escape artist, seeing she had been playing with her trike, knowing Rocket would be impressed when he woke up knowing it would be soon, once he realised Shocket was not in her crib, seeing the infant eating pop tarts seeing Casey sharing with her.
"She is like uncle Rockie, remember?" Casey said to her hearing and smelling her infant cousin had an accident, knowing from her uncle that Shocket had accidents, even though she wore diapers, despite Starlord saying Shocket was marking her terrortiry, which Rocket understood, hoping his little girl would outgrow it soon yet was secretly proud because he didn't want her growing up fast, knowing her first birthday was coming up making him excited.
"I need help with that, plus Sif and Thor went to get Shocket her birthday gifts, so please watch her, until I get back, besides Groot is keeping her enteratined, letting her swing on his vines like a swing." he told Lylla makimg the female otter get it, since she was techincally the female kit's mom hopimg that Shocket would go easy on her until Rocket came back, seeing Casey and Yama back wondering where the adults went, hearing Lylla tell.
"Ohhh yeah, Shockie's birthday, we already got her gifts." Yama told her going to train.
Lylla heard giggling as it was Shocket's laughter, guessing that Groot was keeping her happy, guessing he might need a break since Casey was here to help in case Shocket got upset or wanted her dad, checking in on her, seeing she was having an accident, remembering Rocket had told her, this happened scooping her up gently to change her diaper, relieved she was letting her, hopimg Rocket was alright.
"He probably is, this is Shocket we're talking about." Casey assured her.
"I am groot, I am Groot." they heard Groot say, seeing Casey agreeing, as her uncle had taught her Groot's tongue, so like her uncle and Thor she could understand what Groot was saying, translating to everybody what the tree-like being was saying, explaining that Rocket would do anything for Shocket as she was his daughter.
"Don't worry, daddy's coming back in a while, but let's go play." Casey said to Shocket.
After a lot of playtime and lunch, it was time for Shocket to have her nap, only the female infant was not wanting to do that, makimg Lylla nervous in case Rocket came back, seeing that Shocket was awake, seeing Groot there scooping Shocket up gently into his vines rocking her gently, soothing her into sleep just as Rocket came back with stuff.
"How was Shocket, was she good while I was gone?" he asked her seeing her nod.
"She was but she almost didn't want to take her nap, until Groot helped." Lylla replied
"Awwww that happens sometimes, Groot helps when that happens." he said to her.
He was putting stuffway before takimg Shocket to their room, putting her in her crib, leaving her be, going to train for a bit while she slept knowing that Shocket would love her party even if she didn't know what they were yet, and had invited Linda and Willow since they were his little girl's friends seekng her trike, putting it back in their room.
It was a few weeks later and the morning of Shocket's birthday, which the female infant kit didn't know about yet, being one year old noticing the balloons tied to her crib, playing with them, before getting out escaping using her trike as she always did pedaling around the hallways of the compound, makimg Zora, her aunt and Casey's mom chuckle, knowing she did this like Rocket.
"Awww does your daddy know, that you escaped?" she said picking her up going to the living area where Terra was in the playpen seekng her cousin hug her wearing a funny hat, makimg Terra giggle. because her mom and Casey had explained it to her so she could tell Shocket so she wouldn't get scared or overwhelmed.
"It's a party hat and it's your birthday, to celebrate when the universe gave us you, where everybody gives you new toys along with eating cake which is awesome, Casey along with my mommy and daddy told me about it." she explained making Terra grin knowi wasgoing to love her party deciding to let that be a surprise.
"Awww somebody woke up, happy birthday sweetie." Rocket told Shocket after he woke up, seeing his little girl in the playpen with Terra making her pop tarts, knowing she liked them from what Casey told him, seeing Howard and Meeko here with Linda and Willow for Shocket's birthday knowing Shocket would be excited, after she finished her breakfast.
"I can't believe your little girl is one year old, buddy, how do you feel about it?" Howard asked Rocket, while they were drinking coffee and hanging out, because the three of them had not hung out in quite a while, being dads so were catching up while Shocket was eating excited seeing Howard and her uncle makimg them chuckle, hearing her excitement.
"I know you wanna go play with Linda and Willow, and looks like you're done." Rocket said to her.

"I have to go fight bad guys with your uncles and aunts, but I'll be back." he told Shocket, kissing her furry little head, before leaving making Shocket sigh seeing Linda hug her.
"Your daddy's gonna be okay, he's big and brave, just like mine, when he helps grown-ups solve problems." she assured her seeing Willow agree.
"She's right, as my daddy helps Aunt Pocahontas with things, but he's alright." Willow assured her making her feel better after the hug deciding to have some fun knowimg where the cool toys were, escaping the playpen, makimg Linda and Willow follow curious seeimg bad guys makimg Shocket mad.
"Hmmm, no Avengers, just some little kids." a Hydra agent said.
"Who're they Shocket, bad guys?" Linda asked seeimg her nod.
"Dady said that when bad guys show up, we have to defend it from them." Shocket told them, seeing Willow grab an Nerf crossbow makimg Shocket grin, seeing her nsil the agent with a foam arow, impressing her and Linda guesing uncle Meeko had taught her that using her itty-bitty baby claws to defend herself, like her dad had taught her seeimg Linda fighting bad guys.

"I can't believe three little kids their age took on Hydra agents, and they werrn't scared." Scott said.
"Well, Rocket taught Shocket some badic self-defence moves including using her claws, so she must have taught Linda and Willow, only how could a baby of your specids use a crossbow?" Carol heard Lylla say to Rocket.
"Willow has watched Poca and the others in our home use them, so she must have picked it up which is a good thimg." Meeko replied to her makimg Rocket smirk knowing Shocket's first birthday was a crazy one only it made Rocket sure, that he didn't want his little girl being an Avenger or a Guardian of the Galaxy when she grew up, hearing Howard tell him to breathe.
"She's a mini-you, thanks to the Collector, if she wants to be an Avenger or a Guardian of the Galaxy when she grows up, that's her choice alright?" Howard told him seeing Rocket guess he was right seeing Casey helping frost Shocket's birthday cake along with cupcakes making Yama excited makimg her giggle at her boy's antics.
"Just wait until the party, alright, but where's Sif and Thor?" Rocket said.
"We're here Captain Rabbit plus we brought something that everybody's going to like."
