A/N: First Steps is being told by Shellobeth's point of view. Next chapter is: Teething, which is kinda jump backwards. And after this, this is the final drabble before the story finally gets back to the plot at hand.
Shellobeth Marri Crevan was officially a reaper in training now. With a new and improved first, middle, and last name, and all of her papers signed and filed away, she was well on her way to becoming a junior rookie for the Dispatch society. As Will has said before, those papers were just the first steps of her journey to a future job. Metaphorically, of course, as literally the baby had yet to even start walking on her own without help.
"Thats going to have to change." Will said as he entered into the morgue that housed the baby, intending to change that.
Shellobeth's POV:
This isn't a very nice thing. The boys are being such meanies today and I don't know why! One second I'm just crawling around of the floor, just minding my own business, and the next I'm being pulled up by my hands and dropped on my bottom, which might I add really really hurts!
"Come on Shelly. You can do it!" . Ronny says, but I'm confused by what he means I can do, since I already got falling down. "Guys, I don't think shes gonna do it."
"She can already stand up in her crib, walking shouldn't be to difficult." Will says as he walked over to me and picked me up and did the same thing Ronny did!
'No no! Stop dropping me!' I squealed but I don't think they understand me, mainly because when I said this, they all just looked at me funny.
"Shes getting frustrated, just leave her alone." Red mutters, which surprises me cause Red is being really really smart today, but I don't have time to keep thinking about this.
I crawl back over to my blanket and lay down on it and hope to get a nap but I'm suddenly being picked up and moved. With a sudden grunt, I looked around myself quickly to see what was going on.
'Wh-what the big idea!?' I yelped as I kicked by tired arms and legs and was finally set down.
"She just needs a nap, I bet." I hear daddy say, and this makes me really annoyed.
'Well no dumb I need a nap! Now stop dropping me!' I growled, humming softly only after I was laid down onto my favorite blanky and given a stuffed animal to hug. 'Thats better.'
Finally! Now me and my bottom had a chance to rest, and soon I felt a good nappy seemingly coming on. Soon, I was having one with my favorite dream of bunnies and more bunnies and another bunny and cookies an- Wait a second! I smell cookies!
'They real ones too, even!" I exclaim joyfully, rolling onto my bottom and sitting .
I open my eyes and look around the room for the source of the cookies and I find them on a plate in the middle of the room. I don't know what I did, but I'm suddenly at the cookies really really fast and I'm suddenly being picked up, but not dropped this time. I was picked up by a very happy looking Will as the others gather around. They all look exited as daddy hands me a cookie, which I take and chew on it and it melts in my mouth and tastes really really yummy!
I don't know what they're so happy about. Something about Running or walking. I don't know, I'm just happy I got a cookie and thats all.
