"Come on buddy it's tine to learn to use the potty like a big-Cub." Jupiter told Rocket seeing Herbert had bought a potty so Rocket could learn how, seeing him run from it surprising Herbert shaking his head knowing this would happen when they decided it was time for him to learn knowing they had tomdo this gently seeing Rocket pee on his shoes seeing Jupiter face-palm trying to stay calm for the cub in her belly had gotten bigger knowing she was coming soon.

"He's just marking his territory, and I'm part of it, he'll learn to do it in his own time, like learning to walk plus he'll learn to talk in his own time, Jupiter." he reassured her cleaning Rocket up putting pull-ups on him telling him he wouldn't use the potty for a while, if he wore them seeing Rocket grin ag this liking this loophole giggling as Herbert was gently tickling him which Jupiter found cute.

"I know you can do it buddy, both with talking and wanting to use the potty." Jupiter said to him.

"Let's go do science-projects buddy as I found some you might like." Herbert told him as he followed him making Jupiter grin knowing they'd have fun as usual entering the lab seeing Rocket excited as he put on savety-goggles on knowing that was important as Herbert had taught him about lab safety seeing a bazaki enclosure unaware it had opened making Herbert nervous seeing them about to lunge hearing his lil prince growling making a shield in front of his dad.

"Mine, dada." he said making Herbert surprised that he was talking and scared the bazaki putting them back in the enclosure seeing Rocket relieved but hugging his leg.

"Dada okay." he asked seeing him nodding.

"Yes thanks to you and so proud of you as you're talking, daddy has waited a while, for this." he told him as they were hanging out plus Herbert was showing him magnets and how they worked impressing the male-cub clapping his paws looking angrily at the bazaki as they'd almost hurt his dad making Herbert sigh.

"They didn't mean it as sometimes they get out." he toldhim

"Ohhhhh okay." Rocket told him yawning ready for an nap.

"Wait, Rockie said his firsr word and I missed it, Herbert, was it cute." Jupiter said to Herbert

"Uh-huh he was protecting me from bazaki that had gotten iu and saying my dada like telling them they couldn't have me but right now he's taking his nap but let's drop the other thing for now, he'll do it when he's ready and he can wear pull ups which he seems to like." he told her massaging her larger bump knowing the cub could be coming soon seeing Jupiter related.

"Thanks Herbie as she loves that, and guess you're right, I just don't want Rockie to be left behind while his peers bloom." Jupiter said drinkijg tea.

"Show mommy you can talk, who am I." he said to Rocket.

"Dada." he said making Jupiter impressed by this.

"Can you say mama." she asked him seeing him grin.

"June." he said making Herbert laugh hysterically.
