Baby Oh Baby!
Part 3: Bathtime

A very excited Emma bounces around Kiba as Kiba puts the fire wood together. The baby wolf never sees someone starts a fire before and she is very curious at how it is done.

Kiba starts rubbing a wood stick on the firewood. Emma plays with Kiba's firewood adorably. When the wood sparkles, Emma jumps away and hides behind Toboe.

Kiba smiles to her, be careful, little one. Emma jumps onto Toboe's head and nestles in Toboe's hair. Toboe laughs, Emma, you're messing up my hair!

Emma nestles into Toboe's hair more, making Toboe laughs harder even harder. Kiba just sits next to the fire and stares at the Toboe. Kiba always loves to watch Toboe, and it's nice to see Toboe so cheerful.

Toboe starts digging a hole next to the fire. Emma sees that and jumps down from Toboe's head. She starts digging with Toboe enthusiastically. Toboe smiles and pats Emma, good girl.

Toboe takes some ices from outside the cave and puts it into the hole he digs. The ice melts into warm water. Come on, Emma. Let's get you a bath. Toboe says.

The baby wolf jumps into the water and splashes it around happily, getting Toboe all wet. Well, apparently, Emma loves water. Toboe mutters. Emma keeps splashing water all over the place while Toboe desperately trying to clean her up.

Finally, Toboe manages to clean Emma up and takes her out of the water. Emma is much happier now that she is warm and the bloody smell on her is gone. Toboe takes off his shirt and tries to dry Emma.

Kiba's eyes widen. He never realizes the innocent Toboe can be so arousing. Toboe hair and skin, thanks to Emma, is all wet and shimmering in the firelight. Toboe looks beautiful and attractive. Kiba raises his hand to reach for the smooth creamy back of Toboe.

Kiba almost touches Toboe when Hige runs in and shouts, I got food! Where is the little fur ball?

(Emma is hungry!) The cub jumps out from Toboe's grasp and charges right into Hige's chest. Hige doesn't expect the baby wolf to do that and falls backward. NO!!! DON'T!!!!! Hige screams.

It's too late. Emma already starts shaking her body vigorously, from head to tail. Amazing amount of water coming out from the tiny wolf's fur; she manages to make Hige soaking wet. Hige screams, Toboe! Watch your kid, will you?Stop calling her my kid. I am not her mother. Toboe says. Emma jumps into Toboe's arms and nuzzles, (mommyAs I was saying, watch your kid. Hige laughs. He dries himself up with Toboe's shirt.

Toboe washes his shirt in the water. Kiba holds Emma tight, making sure she doesn't get close to the water. Tsume throws some food to Kiba and says, stuff her up and get her unconscious, will ya?Tsume, can't you be nice for a second? Hige says.

I don't do nice. Tsume sits down and eats.

What a grump. Hige says.

After dinner, Toboe smiles to Emma and says, Now you be a good girl and go to sleep, okay?"

(Emma doesn't want to sleep. Emma stay awake, if bad people come Emma runs...) Emma says with fear in her eyes.

"Emma, no one is going to hurt you." Toboe says softly. Kiba smiles to the baby wolf and says, "Don't worry. You sleep. I will protect you."

Emma looks at Kiba. Kiba lies down next to Emma and puts his hand on her. Soon, Emma falls asleep between Kiba and Toboe.

"Finally, I thought that thing will never quiet down." Tsume says as he close his eyes.

"Tsume, for the last time Emma is not a thing. Please don't ever have kids. I will feel so sorry for them." Hige says as he falls asleep.

Toboe falls asleep facing Kiba. Toboe looks so beautiful it makes Kiba's heart aches. Kiba reaches over and blushes Toboe's hair, then touches Toboe's lip. Toboe's lips are so smooth and delicate, Kiba wants so much to kiss them.

(Mommy...) Emma suddenly cries in her sleep. Kiba looks down at the baby wolf and says, "don't worry, Emma. We'll find your mommy."
