Aaron woke up and looked around and found himself tucked in to a pram and being pushed by Crystal who was walking with two other girls. Crystal saw Aaron's eyes open and looked at him. "Sorry for taking you out before you woke up, but it's such a nice day and Janet and Clarisse wanted to hang out today." Crystal said motioning to two girls who put their heads in the pram to get a better look at Aaron.
Janet and Clarisse both had blonde hair, but Janet had blue eyes and Clarisse had green eyes. "He's so cute." The girls cooed in unison. They took turns tickling Aaron who couldn't help but giggle at the constant barrage of hands tickling him.
Crystal reached in to a bag in the bottom of the pram where she produced a bottle full of formula which she handed to Aaron. "I thought that you might be hungry when you woke up." Crystal said handing Aaron the bottle who took it from her eagerly and began drinking. After finishing the formula, Crystal took the bottle and handed Aaron a teething ring to keep him occupied. Aaron took it from her and began chewing on it vigorously. The girls decided to go shopping and they walked in to a clothing store and began trying on outfits. Janet saw how bored Aaron looked and bought him a stuffed animal to play with while they continued to try on clothes. The girls took turns holding Aaron while the others would show off the outfits that they were trying on. Aaron kept shifting laps, and they would always take his hands and make him clap as the girls showed off.
After the girls finished trying on clothes, they pushed Aaron to the village square where several people were socializing. Several of them gathered around Aaron and a few girls asked Crystal if they could hold Aaron; she just smiled and said sure. Aaron was passed from girl to girl as they cuddled him, tickled him, and cooed at him.
Aaron started to grow a little uncomfortable from all of the attention that he was receiving. Overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, Aaron started crying. Crystal quickly took him from the girl that was holding him and started rocking him in her arms. "I guess that was a little too much attention. Huh?" Crystal said looking at Aaron who reluctantly started to calm down and nodded his head.
"How about I take you home and get you in your jammies so you can go to bed?" Crystal said as she continued rocking Aaron whose cries turned to soft whimpers as she laid him in the pram. Aaron's cries grew a little louder when Crystal set him down. "Do you want me to carry you?" She asked lifting Aaron back out of the pram; Aaron nodded his head. "Okay, I'll carry you, but you have to stop crying." Crystal said wiping the tears from Aaron's eyes and putting a tissue to his nose and instructing him to blow.
"Thanks for taking care of me." Aaron said huddling against Crystal's body for warmth.
"It's no problem, baby." Crystal teased tickling Aaron who for some reason didn't seem to mind the teasing as he smiled up at her as she carried him back to her house. Crystal made sure to give Aaron a bath and a bottle before putting him to bed.
After Crystal left, Stalker leapt in to the crib and sat next to Aaron. "You seem to be settling in to the treatment." Stalker said looking at Aaron who was wrapped contently in a soft blanket.
"I guess. It just seems to feel natural to want warmth and attention at this point, and when I don't get it I feel really sad. I mean being changed and some of that stuff can be a little embarrassing and at times overwhelming, but I guess I've been getting used to it a little more." Aaron said closing his eyes and bringing himself closer to Stalker.
"You're definitely a cute little guy." Stalker said picking up Aaron's pacifier and putting it in his mouth.
