Chapter 3
Beka entered the bunkroom, where Seamus' crib was. Meghan was asleep in her bunk. Meghan tried to hide it, but Beka knew that she was still in pain. She quietly crept past her.
Beka peered into the baby's crib. He was playing with the bear she had given him months ago. He was sitting up on his own now, and was starting to make vaguely word-like sounds. He looked up at her with those bright blue eyes she had missed so much.
'agabba!' he exclaimed with a bright smile.
'What are you doing there?' she asked playfully.
He looked up at her quizzically, then looked back down at his bear and, lifting it up, offered it to her.
'Wow! Look at that!' She exaggerated her response, which brought a cheeky smile to his face. 'Is that for me?!'
'vvvgssls,' kicking his legs pointedly.
'Come here you,' she said, lifting him out of the crib, to which he made some random, high pitched baby sounds.
'Wanna come get something to eat with me? Yeah? Let's go.' She opened the fridge in the mess and looked for something to eat.
Seamus looked wide-eyed at all the new colors and shapes the world of the refrigerator had to offer. With one hand in his mouth, with the other he tried to grab anything in reach, which, in this case, was a container of pudding.
'Yeah, want some pudding?'
She shut the refrigerator door, grabbed a spoon and sat at the small mess table, Seamus on her lap. She took a spoonful of pudding.
'Mmm, that's good. You want to try some too?' She brought the spoon to his mouth, which he clenched shut.
'Come on, you'll like it.' He shook his head.
'Oookaaay, if you really don't want any, I guess I'll just have to eat it all by myself.'
He looked at her with curiosity, and watched as she had a few more spoonfuls of pudding. Then he reached for the spoon and whined.
'What's the matter? You want some too? Well.. I don't know, it's awfully good.' she teased.
'gsszzuuuoo,' he reached for the spoon but she held it away from him.
'What do you want Seamus? Do you want the pudding?' She was enjoying the cruelty.
'Puddig,' he said, still reaching for the spoon.
Her mouth dropped. Did he just speak, like, an actual word?
'What did you say?'
He ignored her, still reaching for the spoon.
'Come on, do it again, Seamus. PUDDING.' She lifted him so that he was sitting on the table facing her.
He looked at her blankly.
'Come on, PUDDING. You want some, don't you?' She took a spoonful and ate it in front of him.
'Puddig.' He said, excited. 'puddig, puddig.'
She laughed aloud. 'Meghan!' she called and gave the boy the little container of pudding for his troubles.
Both Meghan and Damien Harper came rushing in.
'What is it? What's wrong?' The poor woman was panicked.
'Yeah, what's all the noise about? Look at this mess!' Damien complained. Seamus had already gotten the pudding all over both his face and his shirt.
'Rebecca.' Meghan chastised when she too saw the mess he'd made of himself.
'Oh. Don't worry about that, I'll clean him up.' Beka chirped.
'Sooo, what did u call me for?' Meghan questioned, hands on her hips.
Beka smiled wide, 'He spoke. Just now. He said 'pudding.'' Her excitement was visible.
They both looked skeptical.
'Alright, you don't believe me? Watch this.' She turned to the messy boy. 'Seamus, say PUDDING.'
He looked at her a moment, then put the now empty container of pudding up to his face, licking it.
Frustrated, Beka promptly took the container away from him. Then, more forcefully, said, 'PUDDING, come on kiddo, say PUDDING for me.'
He ignored her, licking his fingers.
Meghan snickered slightly, 'Maybe you just THOUGHT you heard him speak,' she offered. And, with that, both adults left the mess.
Beka collapsed into the chair, dumbfounded. 'Thanks for backing me up just then,' she said to the baby next to her on the table.
He stopped what he was doing and looked at her innocently. He extended his hand out to her,
'puddig? He offered.
