Aaron woke up to Crystal talking to someone. Aaron thought that he heard Sonia's voice through Crystal's Hunter as they were in the middle of a discussion. Aaron stood himself up in the crib to get a better view of who Crystal was talking to; it was Sonia on a Real Wave screen. "How's he doing? Is he behaving himself?" Sonia asked her.
"He's fine. He actually seems to be pretty happy here with me. Sure he was a little embarrassed at first, but he knows that we all care for him." Crystal responded.
"It looks like someone's awake." Sonia said pointing and looking at Aaron who was standing up in the crib eager to get out. Crystal walked over to Aaron and lifted him out of the crib and brought him over to where she had been talking to Sonia. "Good morning, sleepyhead." Sonia cooed.
"Mowning." Aaron said as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes with the pacifier still in his mouth.
"Sonia, I think I need to go. Someone here needs a change and some breakfast." Crystal said patting Aaron on the butt causing him to blush. Sonia said goodbye and hung up while Crystal laid Aaron down on a changing mat. Crystal untaped Aaron's diaper and made sure to clean him off. Crystal didn't put a new diaper on Aaron, and Aaron knew what this meant and groaned while Crystal carried him to the bathroom. Once Crystal finished running the bath, she lifted Aaron in to the tub and began washing him.
"So what's it like being a baby?" Crystal asked while continuing to wash Aaron.
"It isn't that bad, I guess. The thing I have against it is that I used to do everything for myself, and this isn't exactly a smooth transition." Aaron said motioning to Crystal who was washing him.
"Well, I like taking care of you, and maybe not having to do so much for yourself will give you some time to ease up and relax." Crystal said as she began shampooing Aaron's hair. Aaron didn't mind Crystal taking care of him too much; he was used to being taken care of at this point, but he was always uncomfortable when a different person, especially someone that he liked, was taking care of him. After Crystal made sure that Aaron was clean, she drained the tub and dried him off. She the then carried him over to the changing mat and sprinkled some baby powder on him before taping the new diaper shut. Crystal then grabbed a short sleeved light blue onesie that she put Aaron in; Aaron's diaper peeked through the leg holes of the onesie, and the front had a picture of a mettena on the front. She told him that he didn't need heavy clothes since they were in the house right now.
Crystal carried Aaron in to the kitchen and sat him in a Real Wave high chair and tied a bib around his neck. "So, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked tickling his stomach.
"I don't know." Aaron said with his head down.
Crystal lifted his chin up. "Don't worry. I'll find something for you." Crystal smiled at him causing Aaron to smile back. Crystal started cooking and after a little while she sat down some pancakes. She sat one in front of Aaron and started cutting it up for him.
"Thanks." Aaron said in between bites of pancake.
"No problem. Now can you feed yourself while I eat?" Crystal asked sitting the pancake that she cut up in front of Aaron who began stuffing the pieces in his mouth. Crystal giggled and then started eating her breakfast. After Aaron finished his breakfast and Crystal finished hers, she held Aaron in her lap and gave her a bottle. Crystal made sure to burp him after the bottle, and she then sat him down in her living room with a bunch of toys.
Crystal played with Aaron for a while until she heard a knock at the door. Crystal instructed Aaron to stay put while she went to answer the door. Crystal came back with Stalker following her. Aaron managed to stand up and run about halfway to his partner before falling down. Stalker ran over to Aaron. "You okay?" He asked nuzzling Aaron.
Aaron sat up. "I'm just glad that you're here. I thought that you were staying at home."
"Well, I was, but Sonia and Geo had more work to do with Dr. Goodall, and they thought that it would be best if you stayed here for a while and they didn't want you to get lonely." Stalker said. Aaron continued to pet Stalker who enjoyed the affection from Aaron that he showed through purring.
Aaron eventually let out a loud yawn and leaned against Stalker as he felt his eyes start to droop. "Just go to sleep, kid." Stalker whispered as he rubbed Aaron's head with his paw. When Aaron fell asleep, Crystal walked over and gushed at how cute Aaron looked with Stalker taking care of him; Aaron's thumb was in his mouth while he leaned against Stalker. "You wanna take him off my hands?" Stalker asked Crystal.
"Sure." She smiled as she picked Aaron up who continued to suck his thumb. Crystal carried Aaron to the crib and made sure to tuck him in without waking him. She then rested his head on a pillow while Stalker leapt in to the crib and made himself comfortable near Aaron stirred a little as he felt the warmth of Stalker nearby.
